With the kind permission of Dr. Avinoff, Director of the Carnegie Museum, we are reprinting his beautiful tribute to the memory of Professor Kdmond Esquerre. “A beautiful soul passed away. Kdmond Esquerre is not any more with us —mourned bv a host of friends to whom he has endeared himself. Hut it is not sorrow alone he leaves with them. His parting and lasting gift is an intensively living image of his spirit: kindly, mellow, lofty and serene. “Horn in France, Edmond Esquerre spent all his life, since early youth, in the new world to which he brought the finest tribute of the Latin race—the refinement of a gentleman of the old school, a sparkling brilliancy, wit and vivacity—in a word, all that which no English term is adequately able to translate, and that which in French is designated as ‘esprit . “For over 2(» years Professor of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, he was beloved by his students who recognized in him, as did all his friends, the commanding trait of his personality—compassion. Above all his mental achievements, his inexhaustible analytical ingenuity, his versatile intellectuality of a polished, cultivated mind, was his considerate sympathetic understanding; outshining all was his compassion simple, sterling and supreme. “His whole life seems to be epitomized in one word, ‘misericordia’. A truly enlightened Christian soul, he was prepared to answer the call of his Maker. Ami now his friends can say of him—‘Multa pars vitabit .”

Miss Tillie H. Moore had served ns Matron of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie College from 1908 until her illness, which took her from active service in September, 1932, and in that capacity had known intimately most of the students in attendance during those years. M iss Moore’s office in the basement of the Margaret Morrison building was a favorite retreat. The Carnegie Handbook for many years contained a rather formal paragraph or two—“In case of illness call for medical aid at Miss Moore’s Office ’— and Miss Moore’s name was a familiar one on the bulletin hoards when lost articles were advertised. Probably not one student in a hundred know Miss Moore as a “matron” but simply as “Miss Moore,” or, in earlier years of the school, as “Aunt Til.” Miss Moore’s death on January 16th after a long illness brought to an end a long and cherished connection with Carnegie and particularly with the Margaret Morrison College.
