love for music and for the beautiful in art, and later in the beauty of the Institute whieh bears his name. The Drexel Institute in l'hiladelphia. was eoneeived, founded and endowed by him as the erowning aut of a lite crowded with benetieenee to his ,t'ellow-men. He was lilled with deep sympathy for young men and women who were to be doers ill the world, and wished to make their lives rieher and fuller and more appreciative of those real beauties of lil'e, whieh have substantial and lasting value in the development olf men and women of lofty eharaeter. To this end he gave freely oi' his wealth and thought and time that his great sympathy might bear fruit. lla was given him to see his plan take visible iform and to see the work fairly started, hut' that was all. Would that he could have been spared to give the Institute the henelitn ol' his wise guidanee during' the years oi' its development! llis death at, Carlsbad on the thirtieth of June, 1893, was a. loss the magnitude ot' which none has estimated. Had he lived, he would have found his ehielf pleasure in the developmentn olf 'l'he Drexel Institute and we ean imagine how his enthusiasm would have kindled as he beheld the fruits ot his wise guidanee in the young' men and women passing' out oi' the school to lead lives rieher for his inlluenc-e. The ehildren of The Drexel Institute and all Philadelphians will not i'oi'g'etn what manner of man he was, especially when they hear all men agree that time has brought a rieh fullillment oif his own wish to live in sueh a manner that after he had passed it llllflllll' be said otf him, Well done, thou good and t'aithl'ul servant. 7
