JOHN FRANCIS GREENE OHN FRANCIS GREENE is with us no more. It seems strange that this can be so, for he was an integral part of the life of Brown for nearly fifty years. In 1887 he began his undergraduate life; in 1891 he graduated; at once he began to teach on the campus which he loved; in 1933, on February 7th, he passed on. Most of the undergraduates of today did not know him in the days of his fullness of vitality and of power, but something of the old Johnny Greene still lingered, and we loved to have him around. For a little while ac the first he taught Greek, then he found his life work in making the Latin a living reality in the surroundings of this far distant day. He knew the City of Rome even better than he knew any American city. In the spirit and atmosphere of her life, her history, her literature, her culture, her pervasive influence, he was at home and he made others at home. Ten student generations hold him in grateful memory and affection. He never married. In a very real way the students hearts were his home. For many years he used to visit fraternity houses and dormitories and was often asked to read to groups of undergraduates, opening to them out of the affluence of his culture new vistas of literature. In conversation he was a master, at ease in any company. In a measure beyond most men he lived in a house by the side of the road, and was a friend to man. It is a great thing to build one's self into human hearts and lives for a long series of years, to become so much a part of a living organism, such as Brown University assuredly is, that when the inevitable separation comes. men go about with the shadow of loneliness upon them, feeling that something which was a veritable part of them had gone away. That time has come for the men of Brown, for Johnny Greene has left us. It is good that we have in Sayles Hall the portrait of him. The artist has shown him as he was, and he will continue in that likeness of him to look out upon many generations of students who never had the opportunity to know his living presence. William Ernest Henley has voiced what this friend of ours may well have said: So be my passing! My task accom plished and the long day done, My wages taken, and in my heart Some late lark singing, Let me be gathered to the quict West, The sundown splendid and serene. CLARENCE A. BARBOUR
