:ane of the most heroic teuchcr-and yet, how unweuryingly, day after day, does he bring with him into the classroom the same unfailing gentleness! He is an historian, most admirably adapted for this difflcult nii'icc by virtue of a bmudness of vision, and a sympathetic appreciation of the manifold forces that move mankind, and that rarest of all gifts, an unprejudiced evaluation and judgment. There is no tincture nf fanaticism, no preclusion, no unupenness about his ideas and opinions; hut always there is a sweet and inviting modarnte- Hess, and an honest receptivity-charactcristics par excellence of a mind for whom the gmis 0f wisdom hear no grudge. Even that gentle suhduedncss of his voice and deliberate tempo of his utterance tcum grai'ilate loquituri betray this internal dispassionateness and temperateness of his thought. Or have you ever, in his classes, modestly divulged some darling theory'! a or opinion' to yourself, relevant-ur at least you thought it relevanttto sums matter under discussion-;md how graciously, and with what paternal ienicncy has he not cuuntcnanced each such maiden specuiatiou of yours, even though, as a matter of fact, ynur ambitious flightsu had 0ftrtime5 been must woefully awry! No! He is not a tyrant t0 thunder into extinction the first trembling beginnings of serious thought. Venerable Doctor! W'e blush to tause your gentle heart. any disappoint- ment or grief. But upon reflection. we must confess that the multitudinous names of the English kings have sunk with us into the twilight region of the semiicqnscious; even the stirring events of the French Revolution me less and less agitating our consciousness. Alas! Only a few isniateci landmarks are still barely fastened by slender and quivering tcndrils to the body of our mem- m-y. But aside from these bloodless and isolated items, which never could claim but an alien relationship with us, there is a something warm and breathing that has instilled itself intn the vital tissue of our- heart and mind-it is the ever- living iniiuence of your gentle personality. If we were to compute our success, as your students. propurtionateiy to the mere iqimnhlm of facts which we carry away with us in our memory, we should have to confess a rather equivocal success. But when we measure it according to the sweetening influence of your spirit, we can but rejoice in our heritage. liildmimfianc fr: landcmus, cf, 3i Immm suppedz'fct, siin-ilitudinc columns. KARL P.
