year he taught in the Starke Unive1'sity School, Montgomery, Alabama. He then returned to Johns llopkins, and was awarded the Ph. D. degree in J une, 18923. The subject of his dissertation was, f'The Struggle of Protestant llissenters for Religious Toleration in Virginia.', Doctor Mellwaine was ehcted Professor of English and of llistory of lfampden-Sidney in June, 1893. Ile held this chair until he was elected State Librarian of Virginia, July U, 1907. Thus he gave to the college fourteen years of arduous service as professor, and, in addition, was its librarian. It should be remembered that it was under his supe1'vision that the library was 1'e- catalogued and finally removed from its old quarters to the new building presented to the college Qafter the removal of the Seminaryj by Maj. R. M. Venable, of lialtimore. lit is worthy of special mention that an already over- worked professor was ready and willing to render the college such able and important service in this direction. The election of Doctor Mcllwaine as State Librarian was acclaimed throughout the Conunonwealth. No man in Virginia is so well qualified for this position. Many of the leading men in the State urged his appointment, and the Board 1'esponded with unanimity. He had studied library adminis- tration and methods in the flinoch Pratt Library, flialtimore, and at other places. He had been a successful librarian at Hampden-Sidney. He is a trained historian. Ile knows the history and traditions of Virginia. He is in sympathy with this history. llc is also an antiquarian, and will ably edit the vast store of invaluable MSS., relating to our State history, which awaits publication. His recent Report to the Library Board is an able, exhaustive, and illuminating document. He has the gift of authorship, and has contributed largely fespecially ill the line of book-reviexvsil to leading magazines, news- papers, and teelmical journals. He is now engaged in editing the J ou1'nals of the House of l3urgesses, and the preface to the volume Qnow in pressj is a work of considerable length, involving wide reading and large research. This sketch must not end without some specific statement concerning the loss suffered by the college in the removal of 'Doctor Mellwaine to Rich- mond. Therc is, with reference to most college professors, a difference of opinion concerning their gifts in the art of teaching. I do not undertake to question the fact that Doctor hlcllwaine has shared the fate of the great body of our profession in that particular. Few 111en ever become great drill-masters, and this is especially true of the most scholarly men of the profession. But T submit that the gift of powerful effectiveness in the class-room is not only a rare talent, but that it is also only one of the requisites of useful service on the part of a professor. It is quite as much a matter of importance that an instructor of young men shall be a man of sound learning and of simple diginity, of untiring industry and of faithful service, of settled sobriety and 10
