William Hitt fllllemnn, QI. IE., IFE. Sv., 11111. B. William Pitt Mason was born October 12, 1853, in New York City. He prepared at Benard French Institute in New York, and entered the ' Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in September, 1870, whence he graduated in '74, with the degree ot C. E. Dr. Mason spent the following year in Europe, and on his return was appointed Assistant in Chemistry and Natural Science in the Institute in '75. He received the degrees of B. S. from the Institute in '77, and M. D. from the Albany Medical College in '81. He was appointed Professor of Analytical Chemistry in '85, and Professor of Chemistry in '95. He is a member of many Chemical and other Societies, both in this country and Great Britain, and was recently made an honorary member of the Association General des Ingenieurs, Architects et Hygienistes Municipaux of France, Algeria, Tunis, Belgium, Switzerland and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. There are but twenty-three such members in the world, and two of them are from the United States, one of whom is Dr. Mason, who has now well earned an international reputation as an authority on the question of water. He has published several works on Water Supplies, and has been expert in numerous contested cases between cities and water companies, notably in the Chicago Drainage Canal Case. Dr. Mason's courses have always been popular at the Institute, and we join the whole 'Tute in wishing that he may long remain to bring glory to Rensselaer and make expert' chemists and assayers of classes that are to come.
