professor |p. £. Eoudna. Pearl Eugene Doudna was born in a log cabin in the town of Marshall, Wisconsin, August i8th, r868. He began his common school education at the age of five, walking two miles to school every morning. When but ten years old he showed remarkable ability in solving difficult mathematical problems. Often at night, after he had gone to bed, he would call out to his father for the answer of some example on which he had been working; and it was found that he seldom had the answer wrong. At the age of twelve he helped to survey his father ' s farm, winning the admiration of the surveyors by his accurate work. He finished the High School course in three years, at the head of his class. During this course he taught school for one year, and in his examination for a teachers ' certificate there was one problem which only two candidates attempted to solve ; Doudna was one of these. His method was at first declared incorrect; but on closer examination the authorities admitted that it was right, and that it was a much clearer and shorter solution than any they had vet seen. His district school teacher said that he had learned more mathematics in his walks with Doudna than in all the years of his schooling. His High School teacher said of him: 1 never asked Pearl Doudna a question that he did not answer correctly. In the spring of 1889 Doudna joined the Presbyterian Church, of Richland Center, Wisconsin, and remained a member until the time of his death.. In 1890 he entered the University of Wisconsin, and again finished the course in three years, taking the degree of A. B. in 1894, after teaching for one year. While in the University he was a member of the Athene Literary Society, and at one time represented it in the inter-society debate, in whicb Doudna ' s side was victorious. After his graduation he was urged to become a candidate for the posi- tion of county superintendent, in his own county, but he preferred to remain in the university as a Fellow in Mathematics. He was successful as a teacher, winning the love and respect of his students. At the same time he entered into original research with every prospect of success ; but a serious illness inter- rupted this work, and caused him, in 1895, to come to Colorado Springs, where he accepted a position in the Department of Mathematics in C olorado College, which he held until his death. Here he continued his original research in the mathematical treatment of the motion of liquids, and won favorable comment by the results of his experi- ments. He also took charge of the Meterological Department, and performed his duties in that capacity with great accuracy. In 1897 he received the M. A. degree from his Alma Mater, and in 1899 was made a Professor of Mathematics in Colorado College. He died January 7, 1900, after an illness of a few days. It is not necessary to speak of Professor Doudna ' s character nor his work and influence in Colorado College. Every student knows how he built up the literary societies, what a deep interest he took in the whole life of the college, and how faithfully and patiently he performed his duties, day by day, in the face of suffering. Those who knew him best loved him because of his brotherly interest, his tenderness and sympathy ; those who did not know him so well, respected and honored him for his earnestness, his faithfulness and his uncom- promising adherence to truth and righteousness. In the death of Professor Doudna, Colorado College lost one of her noblest friends — one in whom the students saw indeed a hero. 23
