In Memoriam fairest, richest and most enduring monument to a great and good man are the wreaths made from the garden of his heart and hung in Memory ' s hall, where the fragrance of their perfume sweetens the world behind him. Far grander and more fitting than by granite pillar or marble shaft is the memory of President Schaeffer made immortal to the students by his matchless simplicity of purpose and grace of soul which made him a winner of hearts. He is gone. Yet the results of his labor remain, as clear as crystal in the sunlight, as fixed as the stars in the sky. He had a gentleness of manner that fit him always as a garment. He was patient, kind and sympathetic, with a tolerance as broad as the afflictions of men, and a pathos as deep as the fountain of tears. Races and sex were to him a profanity: flindoo and Negro and Celt were as one; Large as mankind was his splendid humanity, Large in its record the work he has done. I remember well—and it is sacred to me—the first time I sought his aid and counsel in behalf of a student organization and saw how his great heart reached out to the most detailed interest of the student body. His hand was willing and his money ready. By an acquaintance which ripened into friendship I learned to look upon him as a typical man—most worthy for example comprehending within himself the best elements of strength and gentleness and all the majestic grace of the true scholar. He is gone. But his influence lives; lives and shall live until sweet charity forsakes the hearts of men and the sacred archives of this institution are gathered within the tomb unread forever. He was our true friend and with the poet, I say: ' Tis the way of the world: old friends pass away, And fresh faces rise in their stead; But still ' mid the din and the bustle of life We cherish fond thoughts of the dead. GEORGE WILLIAM EGAN. 15
