Clic Jttassasoit cr In flfcemoriam JACOB TITUS BOWNE, M. H. Born February 12, 1847 Died October 15, 1925 T HE Fall of 1925 marked the passing of one of the staunchest and most faithful servants of Springfield College, Jacob Titus Bowne. Born at Glen Cove, Long Island, on February 12, 1847 and educated in the public schools of New York City, he early evinced a keen interest in Christian work, particularly that type which would bring him into intimate contact with young men. For the twenty years previous to his retirement on June 5, 1923, Mr. Bowne was college librarian and during the latter part of his work he was an instructor in Library Methods. He started his great work at Springfield in 1885 when the college was still in its infancy, and was a dominating factor in the phenomenal growth of the institution, which is still growing owing to the inspirational work of Mr. Bowne. When the present library of the college was built in 1910 it was he who planned it and helped make it one of the foremost institu- tions of its kind in the United States. Besides being a librarian of note as well as a leader of men, lie was also an authority on history and anthropology. He was a lover of the great outdoors and whenever the opportunity presented he would make trips into the surrounding country in quest of anthropological information and handiwork of America’s primitive peoples. He made personal investigations on the coast of Maine, on Long Island Sound, in the Chesapeake-Potomac section and on the Pacific Coast. In this section of New England Mr. Bowne was one of the noted authorities on the American Indian. His was a life imbued with the exuberant spirit of youth. Old in years but young in spirit, he was ever ready to advance the cause of youth and the interests of the men at the college. 10 2 6 Twenty-eight
