BYOWII Btdortba. l854'l904. ARLY in the school year there died, quietly, as he had lived his life, the Attorney of the College. To many students, the public honor accorded his death by the College was the first intimation of his connection with the institution. The very success with which he filled his office, his skilful avoidance of litigation and the noise of law courts, kept him in personal obscurity, and like the greater forces of nature, he did his work unseen and unheard. .lt was among the officers of the College and the people of the town that his force and character had been most felt, and there, too, his loss fell most heavily. I-Ie was a modest man, but he knew very surely what he knew and his quiet self-confidence was convincing. No trouble was too trivial for his attention, no burden was too heavy to be laid confidently in his hands and left there. 1 VVorried men and women went to him for comfort as naturally as the sick to the family doctor-or as frightened peasants to the village cure. To his children he left a legacy of affectionate service from those of us who cannot pay otherwise our indebtedness, and a fine sweet standard to live by, and a much loved name. 17
