CHARLES HALLETTE JUDSON, LL. D. Charles Hallktte Judson, LL. D.. was born in Connecticut eighty-two years ago. coining front brave and upright stock. Possessing small means but a mind better than great wealth, indomitable energy, and a spirit in which hope and courage found happy blending, when still a young man. he had taught school in several places and had won five diplomas at the University of Virginia, at that time in reality, though not in name, the University of the South. Coming in 1854 to the chair of Mathematics and Mechanical Philosophy in Furman University, bringing with him a well founded character, a cultured mind, and the purpose, with God's help, to succeed, he began the career which has l een the chief credit to Furman and one of the highest honors to South Carolina. Time and again called to positions of honor and places that offered great salaries, he preferred to remain with the college of his choice, the institution in which, for over fifty years, he lias been the leading figure, whose prosperity he lias done far more than any other man, living or dead, to promote. In standing bv Furman, he has made sacrifices: hut he has also through eminent ability as a teacher, intellectual power, and devotion to the right, won a reputation second to that of no man in the South. In Furman he has largely shaped the policy, and directed the activities that have made the institution one of the strongest colleges in all the South. Throughout our country arc men. once his pupils, always his friends, who will tell their children and their children’s children of the noble man. the great teacher, who did more for them than any other man on earth. The years have been kind to I)r. Judson. for though he can count more than four-score, he is strong as of yore, his eye is keen and yet serene, his figure is upright, his mind is powerful, and his heart heats with love for the good and sympathy with every noble thought and act. Wise counsellor, true friend, illustrious teacher, may he be spared for many years to bless the college in which his name is a benediction. A. P. Montague. 9
