.L ' AGENDA OF 1Q2 I 59ean ailriurUyn piirtUips, k.M., Wi,B. Rorn April 15, il ' xj Merthyl Tyilvil Wales Died January 9, 1923 Lewisburg Penn. At the age of fourteen Llewellyn Phillips, the l)o -, entered Rucknell Academy. In 1S92 he graduated from the University in the arts course, leav- mg behind him an enviable record for industry, mastery and high-mindedness. For seven years after graduation he was instructor in the Academy in Greek and F.locution. After this he studied for three years at the I ' niversity of Chicago receiving the degree of Doctor of Divinity. Later he did post-graduate work at Chicago, Rocliester, Harvard and the L niversity of Perlin, Germany. In 1892 the Trustees of T iucknell made him Professor of Elocution and f ' ihetoric. In the same ' ear he was married to Miss Jennie Da ' is, 1901, who survives him. In 1916 he was elected the John P. Crozer F ' rofessor of Educa- tion and in 1918 was ajiiiointed Dean of the University. These two positions he held at the time of hi- death and was serving as chairman of the Catalog com- mittee and of the curriculum committee and was a niemiier of the Honorary Degrees committee. He was a man. Not in the brute sense, hut in the matters of refined cour- age, self-mastery and the capacity to meet efficientl - the itrd needs of develop- ing men. He was a gentleman, at home where mental and siiiritua! forces swept base things aside. Always he felt keenly and respected fully the rights and experi- ences of others. He was a scholar. In his own realm a master, he was appreciative of the activity and worth of all departments of the University, and enjoyed the task of keeping abreast of the world ' s advancing mastery. He was a Chi ' istian. The con i tency of his life and the genuineness of his devotion to Christ are, perhap s, the crowning glory to his memory in the minds of the student bodv. No one could know him and understand his teachings and entertain small th(jughts of Christianity or of Christ. He W(]n and deserved the admiration and lo e of the faculty, the students and the town jieople. For even balance, for wide .symiiathy and kindly helpful- ness he had no superior among us. 10
