Charles Herman Hunkins BORN, 1869-DIED, DECEMBER 30, 1931 Born at Haverhill, Mass. Receiled the A.B. degree from Dartmouth in 1895. Spent the next hve years in private tutor- ing. Studied at Paris, 1900-1903. Appointed instructor from the University of Paris in 1911. Made Assistant Professor at Brown in 1911. 1In 1917 he enlisted as an ambulance driver in the American Field Service with the Second French Army; later in the war he became American Censor at the Bureau de la Presse in Paris. In 1920 he was made Associate Profes- sor at Brown. His publications include Lu Sepurtion de I 'Egiise et de 1Etat 1911, Favorite French Poems 1924, and Rucinc'i Phedre 1929. CHARLES HERMAN HUNKINS, for nearly thirty years a member of the Faculty of Brown University, died December 30, 1931, while on sabbatic leave. His death came as a shock to his col- leagues who had no knowledge of his illness, but pictured him in happy and studiocus enjoyment of a well-earned sabbatical somewhere in his beloved France. By the death of Professor Hunkins the University loses a sound scholar and a faithful and enthusiastic teacher; his colleagues are saddened by the loss of a genial, courteous friend upon whom they have so long relied; his former students will mourn the passing of a kindly, gentle soul, whose love of France, its language and its literature was an in.spi- ration to himself and to them.
