The public schools, churches, water system, street improvement, electric lights, Chamber of Com- merce, in fact every movement of importance to the welfare of the com- munity had his wise counsel and active support. With all of our admiration of Dr, Frear as an eminent scientist, we admired another side of the man still more, his splendid Christian char- acter and fine human qualities that left an indelible impression upon the lives of all those who knew him, and upon the thousands of people who counted him as their friend. His home life was indeed beautiful. He was most devoted to his family, provided for them an extensive library of the best literature, participated daily with the family in musical selections, and enjoyed games with the children. As a counselor, whether on scientific, public or personal matters, few men were his equal. He had the rare ability to analyze a problem, to see all sides of the question and to lead the thoughts of the inquirer into channels that would help him to form proper conclusions. He possessed to a remarkable degree the admirable qualities of kindness, cheerfulness, patience, charity and thoughtfulness. No one ever was associated with him in any capacity who was not helped in some way. A prominent scientist, who was his laboratory assistant twenty-five years ago, writes: He gave me every advantage, offered me the use of his large private library and helped me in hundreds of other ways. By dropping a friendly hint here and a caution there, he exercised a greater influence upon me than those who followed a more forcible decisive policy. I-Te was a true neighbor in every sense of the word, and beloved by all. XfVhen any of his friends in the community were ill, Dr. Frear almost invariably showed his interest and sympathy by making frequent calls at the home to inquire about their condition. He rarely criticised any- one and seldom failed to call attention to the good points of those who were criticised in this presence. In the death of Dr. Frear, the Borough of State College, The Penn- sylvania State College, and the State and Nation have sustained a loss, an estimate of which cannot even be approximated, nor can any adequate value be placed upon the thirty-seven years of service which he so con- scientiously rendered in the critical formative period of the institution. ,.r-:.,T,.i. .. ,,,., .... , Yll. sg,:...q-ay. xc ,EH pji Ab wan R it Tix?
