JON! mdXS0ll Slillmdll, Pb. D. ROFESSOR JOHN MAXSON STILLMAN was born in New York City in l I 1852, and came to California in 1860. He received his early education in San Francisco, where his father was a prominent physician, and graduated from the Boys' High School in 1870 with nrst honors. In 1874 he graduated from the University of California with iirst honors, receiving the degree of Ph. B. While there he became senior president of his class. In 1874-75 he was graduate assistant in Chemistry at the University of California, and early in 1875 went to Germany, where he studied under Professor Brayer at Strassburg and Professor Wislicenus at Wiirzburg. In 1876 he returned to his Alma Mater as lecturer in Organic Chemistry, and while in this position received the degree of Ph. D. In 1382 he took charge of the laboratory of the Boston Sugar Refining Company, and in 1888 became chief chemist of the Boston houses of the American Sugar Refining Company and superintendent of the Continental Refinery of Boston. In 1891 he was tendered his present position by President Jordan, and his preference for academic work led him to accept it. As an original and painstaking investigator, Dr. Stillman enjoys a wide repu- tation. His published work is embraced in contributions to the American Ulemical journal, Reporls of llze Berlin Chemical Sociely, Popular Scienre flhmlhly, and other scientificjournals. He has great capacity for work and is an excellent executive. His unusual ability to clarify complex problems in an attractive and logical manner arouses the interest of his students and elicits their best efforts. Ever courteous and considerate, a gentleman of rare polish and address, always showing a keen appreciation of the rights of his students, he enjoys their highest respect and esteem. J. M. R. wlllidm BQIIW EIIGSOII. N ILLIAM HENRY HUDSON, Professor of English Literature, was born in London, England. His father has, for more than half a century, been connected with political movements, and is a lecturer on social and literary questions. Mr. Hudson's education was entirely private. He read for the University of London, but took no degree. For three years he studied law in the office of a solicitor in Bristol. At this time he became known as a speaker and writer on the Radical side in politics, and took part in the struggle against the House of Commons. When not quite nineteen he spoke with Mr. Bradlaugh in a mass-meeting in Bristol. After this he returned to London with the intention of going to the bar, but abandoned this purpose in favor of jour- nalism and lecturing. He then traveled for a year in the United States, Canada and Europe, and on his return became private secretary to Herbert Spencer. Later he was attached for a year to the library of Sion College. In 1890, at the invitation of Andrew D. White, he came again to this country to undertake the cataloguing of the White Collection on the French Revolution. After a year he was appointed assistant librarian at Cornell, a position which he was occupying when he was called to this University. He has written much for English maga- zines and reviews. Among his most important articles is a study of Hrotswitha in the English I-Iislorical Review. His separate publications include an essay on The Church and the Stage, 1886, and An Introduction to the Philosophy of Herbert Spencer, 1894. B. ...Io-. A

llltlvillt Best HIIGQYSOII, H. m. S CRITIC, lecturer and translator, Professor Anderson belongs to the literary C world: as teacher, he belongs particularly to us at Stanford Universityg and the date when he began his career at Butler University-1877-has for us peculiar interest. In his later work at Knox College, Purdue University and the University of Iowa, he established the traditions of the work in English, experiences which fitted him preemineutly for pioneer work at Stanford. The University owes largely to him the scholarly and progressive character of the work done in the English department, but his students owe him a far more personal debt. He imposes nothing upon them but his own catholicity of taste and broad conception of scholarship. Hence his infiuence is apparent, not in characteristic methods and theories, but in a responsive enthusiasm for the noble and artistic in literature, a broadened outlook, and an impulse toward original effort. His contact with life is as vital as with books, so that his influence does not pass with the school days, but remains a constant inspiration toward deeper thinking and higher living. K. S. W. Ewald iiliigtl, Pb. D. 'MWALD FLUGEL studied for his profession at the Universities of Freiburg ig and Leipzig. At the latter institution, where he took his degree of Ph. D. in 1886, he was a teacher of English Philology. , For some time he has been the editor of Anglia, published in Halle, Ger- many. It was for this periodical that he edited a collection of early English songs, among which are the poems of Queen Elizabeth and the songs of Henry VIII. Among his separate publications is a work on Carlyle, in German, in two parts, the latter of which has been translated into English. His Life of Sidney, with an edition of The Defense of Poesiel' and The Sonnets, is the most authoritative work on the subject. At present he is engaged upon a Chaucer lexicon, for the Chaucer Society of London, England. It is to be a complete concordance to the works of Chaucer, and the first volume is to be published in 1900, the fifth centenary of Chancer's death. Another work upon which he is engaged is The Neuengliches Lesebuch, a collection of literature of the time of Henry VIII. and Elizabeth. This, together with the ample notes, will be invaluable to the student of that period. It will be in four volumes, the first one having been published last year. Professor Fliigel's grandfather was a merchant in Louisiana from ISO3 to 1819, when he returned to Leipzig to study in the University. It was he who began the famous Fliigel dictionary, that was reedited and completed in 1891 by Professor Fliigel's father, who devoted twenty-five years to the task. Thethorough scholarship of Professor Fliigel commands the respect of all who know him, and his earnest and genial manner wins for him their friendship. Imbued with the atmosphere of the Anglo-Saxon and Chaucerian periods of literature, he succeeds in imparting to his students an interest in them that leads to enthusiasm. His private library is one of the most valuable of its kind in America, and through his kindness it is made available to the members of the University. E. M. H. -12...
