Dr. Morgan belongs to one of the old families of Lexington, being the son of Col. Charlton H. Morgan of that city. He received the best of home and school training and developed a taste for Natural History studies before en- tering college. While attending the State College these studies were pur- sued under Crandall, with whom he was also associated during the summers of 1884 and 1885 as an assistant in some field work on the Geological Sur- vey of Kentucky. He graduated from the State College of Kentucky in the scientific course in 1886 and took his masters degree in this institution in 1888, after which he attended Johns Hopkins University, winning a fellow- ship in biology in 1889. He received his Doctor’s degree at Johns Hopkins in 1890 and was also awarded the Adam T. Bruce Fellowship for the next year. In 1891 he was appointed Associate Professor of Biology at Bryn Mawr College, and in 1894-’95, while still connected with that institution, spent sixteen months studying in Berlin and at the Stazione Zoologica at Naples, a privilege enjoyed by only a few. In 1895 he was made full Professor of Biology at Bryn Mawr, a position which he continues to fill with distinction. Dr. Morgan’s published papers include two Johns Hopkins studies, five papers in the Journal of Morphology, five in the Anatomischer Anzeiger, twelve or more in the Archiv fur Entwickiungsmechanick, six in the Biolog- ical Bulletin, one in the Quarterly Journal, one in the International Monthly, besides fifteen or twenty shorter ones. JZ? Obituary. During the past year the association suffered a loss in the death of two members, both of whom were well known, though one was a graduate of 19 years ago, and the other was a member of our youngest class. The death of George G. Berry removed from among us a man of sterling worth, quiet, unostentatious, who by his modest demeanor had made a host of friends. For many years he was in the Internal Revenue Service of Ken- tucky, and his death came as a great shock to a wide circle of friends. We shall always cherish his memory. A committee appointed at the annual meeting in June adopted the following report: Whereas, It has pleased God to take from us one of our members, George G. Berry, of the class of ’82; and whereas, we have lost, in him, a kindly, loving spirit and faithful friend, therefore, be it Resolved, That we make this record upon the minutes of our association in recognition of our loss and respect to his memory. [Signed.] Alfred M. Peter, Merry L. Pence, Committee. Jo. H. Kastle, ) On March 17. 1901, Eugene F. Rieser, of the clas3 of 1900, died at his home in Louisville, Ky. The following was written by Mr. L. K. Frankel, a friend and classmate : “Entered into rest on the morning of March 17, 1901, Eugene Feist, the noble and beloved son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Rieser. “Eugene F. Rieser was born October 19, 1880, in Louisville, Ky. He re- ceived his early education in the Louisville Graded Schools, graduating from the Louisville Manual Training School in 1897 with honors Ever eager to continue his education he entered Kentucky State College in the fall of ’9 and graduated as a Mechanical Engineer in the class of ’00; his college career being equally as successful as his earlier school days. Leaving many friends he went to Chicago, entering the employ of Fraser Chalmers Co., in the capacity of draughtsman. Here he contracted pleural pneumo- nia, and with the same perseverance and will that he always manifested when any obstacle presented itself, he fought for seventeen weeks to again be able to continue his work, but growing weaker and weaker, he breathed his last Sunday morning, March 17, 1901, at 2:35. With his friends he was a delightful companion and we will forever keep a bright spot in our memory for him.” The following resolutions were adopted by a committee appointed at the last annual meeting: Whereas, God, who knoweth and doeth all things that are best for Plis children, hath in His infinite wisdom seen fit to remove from our midst one of our beloved members, Eugene Feist Rieser, of the class of ’00; therefore be it Resolved, That the Association of Alumni of the Kentucky State College feels his loss deeply and extends to the bereaved family its heartfelt sympa- thy in this their hour of grief. Resolved, That his memory be cherished by this association on account of his high attainments, and for his many lovable traits of character, which endeared him to all of its members. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, as an assurance of our heartfelt sympathy for them in their affliction. Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the asso- ciation and published in the city papers. Signed, L. K. Franked, 4 B. T. Southgate, Committee. C. L. Humphrey. ) jZ?
