In Memoriam JosKPH Henry Dennis, Instructor in Latin and (rreek and Director of the College Preparator - Department in our school since IS ' .C!, died after a short period of illness on May ' 20th, IVU ), and was buried in Rosemont Cemetery. Professor Dennis was born February ' iTth, ISliS, in Dover, New Hamjishire. He re- ceived his preliminary education in the Providence Friends ' School where he prepared for Haverford College. During his last year in Providence he was assistant in.structor and with this work got his Freshman college work done. This left him three years in Haverford where he was graduated with A. B. in 1S ' . ' ' J. Following this he taught in a ])rivate Friends ' School for one year at Kennett Square, Pa. A visit to his classmate. Prof. Detwiler of the Dejiartment of History of our school at that time, brought him to us for the work to which he gave his life. He supplement- ed his education b v summer course.s at Cornell. In the conduct of his work he found it desirable to prepare text for a Beginner ' s Latin. This was com])leted and satisfactorily used in his classes, but was never offered to publishers. He was an ideal teacher of classics, because of his rare enthusiasm which he easily imparted to his cla.sses. He kept this in fine balance by the fact that one of his manj ' outside interests was scientific re.search in electricity and its application to various life activities. He left an admiral)le permanent impress upon the school and the community. 10
