To Professor Frank Fanning Iewett. Frank Fanning jewett is descended from lidward jewett, who reached Con- necticut from England in 1638, and from Miles Standish of the May Flower. .llc was born in Newton, Massachusetts, prepared for college in The Norwich Free Academy, and was graduated from Yale in 1870, ranking among the honor men ol' his class of one hundred and thirteen members. ,lilis diploma for the A. ll. degree is signed by President Woolsey, that for A. M, by l'resident l'orter. After graduation Mr. jewett taught mathematics, physics and chemistry for two years in The Norwich Free Academy and devoted three years to the study of chemistry and mineralogy in the Sheffield Scientific School of New lilaveu and in Gottingen, Germany. Among his German teachers was the famous l:'rofessor Wiihler, discoverer of aluminum. M r. jewett little suspected, at that time, that the method of aluminum production was to be revolutionized and made a success through the discovery of one of his own students, connected with his own labora- tory in Cabinet lilall, Oberlin College. VVhile serving as private assistant to Dr. Wolcott Gibbs of Harvard Univer- sity, Mr. Jewett was called to the chair of chemistry in the japanese imperial Uni- versity. The call came through request of the japanese Government that lg'resident ,l orter recommend ia man for the place. Mr. jewett was named at once. Reaching Tokio in january, 1876, he found large laboratories, every modern equipment, a colleague of wide experience, two assistants for his own courses of General Chem- istry, Qualitative Analysis and Organic Chemistry, and large classes of well pre- pared young men to whom his lectures were delivered in English. ln addition to strenuous service in the educational work of the University, he allied himself to the small band of those teachers from America, England and Germany who proved their Christianity by their lives,-men whose power for righteousness in Tolcio can- not be over-estimated. As rapidly as possible the japanese Government prepared japanese men for its University chairs. The chemist was ready in I88O, and l-'rofessor Jewettis en- gagement ended with the close of his second contract. Witli its termination came gifts from the Government, letters and gifts from his pupils, many words of appre- ciation, and, most valued of all, a paper presented to him in connection with a part- ing chop-stick supper and a pair of Kaga ware vases made to order for him. This paper is an expression of gratitude to their best teacher and friend signed by sev- enty-four young men at that time in his classes. , ' s
