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...
