3111 illivmnriam STILLMAN PERM' RoBER'rs CHADWICK A.M., Ph.D. I have been asked to write somethi11g about Dr. Chadwick. I cannot dignify what I write by calling it a tribute, it is rather a slight word of appreciation from one of his friends, thinking on paper about the loss we have suffered and expressing only slightly our gratitude for the man he was. Dr. Chadwick was the first teacher of His- tory in the Academy. Dr. Amen, Dr. Kirtland and Dr. Chadwick were great friends. and we of the modern school are greatly indebted for what they did in those early years. As a teacher Dr. Chadwick was scholarly, just and thorough. and his thoroughness was tempered by sym- pathy and an understanding of the different capacities of his students. His respect for the Constitution he implanted in the minds of boys. That was an important part of his contribu- tion. The form of the American Constitution was not so much a matter of conviction as of faith. Dr. Chadwick's contribution to the Acad- emy was not confined to the classroom. He served on many committees, particularly the Executive Committee, where he showed a mind that craved justice, justice tempered by sym- pathy and great kindness. The Chadwick Lecture Course was given to the School as a mark of affection by his old pupils, not as an expression of gratitude for what he taught them merely, but as an expres- sion of gratitude for the kind of man he was. In the fullest sense of the word a civilized man, he was heir to the best thoughts of the men who made VVestern Civilization. But we of the Academy cannot claim him as exclusively our own. Ile regarded himself as a citizen of Exeter and, busy as he was, he never drew back from any civic duty no matter how difficult his work or how much clash of opinion it entailed. In his work for the Town he fol- lowed Lincoln, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the rightf, 14 STILLMAN PERCY ROBERTS CHADWICK LM., P1-LD. After his retirement from his service to the Academy, and in a way from his service to the Town and community, he had a chance to serve his Country in a greater degree than ever before. As secretary ol' the draft board he worked early and late, up to the day of his death. If in the schools and colleges of the Country there has bee11 anyone who has made better use of the years of retirement, I know of no such person. It was glorious! Ilere was the chance to serve his Country with all the quali- ties that were his-gentleness, friendliness, firmness, justice, loyalty, patriotism! Lewis Perry
