What science lest by his untimely decease we can only speculate, but if his er presaged aunght we are I'IIIIIE.'II'HI'I' to believe it lost o g-;-ud deal. What Delaware 1.i.l l5;. l' lnst wi only teo well know, enrly of B e hlehewm, Pa., o .Llllllnrlv. 23, 1851, he received his early education in the public schools of that eity, and later at the Moravian Preparatory Scehonl From the latter he went to Lehigh University, from aduated in 1801 with the .h-grm- of E,. E. After a yedr dlm:l1 in eom- which he was g mercial work he returned to his Alma Mater as an instructor in physics and eleetrieal engineering, After serving two years in this capacity he was called to Delaware College as Instroctor in Mechanieal and Electrical Engineering. At the time of his death, on May 26 of last year, he was an ursiatant professor, Professor Frendenberger's keen analytical mind and knowledge of general physics par- l'il:'1lllll'll'- qllulill:'ul him for Ill'ij,lill.il! n-.-r':il'l.'h waork, to which he devoted a lqu'gu,' part aof his ene Fin3 during the last few VERES, The resaltz of s seientific journals. He was a junior mem- ber of the American Society of Electrical Engineers and a member of Tan Beta Pi. He was iiii 'nuu:.l;;:tu LE ll.uu- ..H bieen 'rllhli-!u-l' inw held in high esteem by fellow seientifie workers and especially by his friend amd former teacher, Professor W, 8. Franklin, of Lehigh, whe collaborated with him in muoch of his work, Professor F ul.h'uln'r'r'n'r's, WiE mol an easy character to become .ll'l'l.l.nill'li-ul with, He was a man of few words, lll.iiH. amd retiving in all his ways. It was only little b litile that the real man came to the surface. He had a fondpess for music and an appreciation for the arts and literature that few ever suspected. He had read widely in philogophy and religion. And while his mien was the most serious imaginable his wit and bumor were gquick and keen, Professor Freudenberger's life lay in what be did and taught. The imparting of prosy facts of doubdiul pi1 h and moment was l-I'.Hl'L l'l' foreign to his nature, His work, like his life, was fundamental, sound. and wopretentiouns, His treatment of his pupils was eminently fair s atten and just, He was alwayvs ready to give hiz time and undivid on to any student who had trouhle with his work. He was kind and sympathetic and devoted to his family. Tt ean ot be said that he was ever animated or enthosiastie about his work. He was interested and intent, It was not wneommon for him to work late into the night, arise early the next morn ing and continue the day as wsual, He tended co tests of his hody. Bait for his defiamnes of aature it is JI'I'IIII.III'I' that his lalsrs 1llij:'hl hi !rlrtrl:. to :li:l':'gllrn.l thie e eont el IHRIY Years,
