Zin emuriam HE memory of Dr. George S. Beane, whose period of service in the University lasted little over two years, will linger long among his L., friends and associates in the Faculty and among the students. A tireless worker, an enthusiast in his special department of physics and the allied studies, he was yet ever genial and kindly, and kept a roomy corner in his life for religious activities. He was essentially a good man, who gave up his whole energies to things that are excellent. Nothing could be more pathetic than the swift call which snatched him away from his family and his friends and his work. The wiry frame which had carried his tireless spirit through so many labors suddenly refused to work any longer, and had to be laid reverently beneath the sod in Rosedale Cemetery: his friends, when they left it there, could hardly realize that George S. l3eane's earthly career was ended. After a boyhood spent in a country home near the shores of Lake Ontario. George S. Beane went up to study first at the X'Ydern Training School in London, Ontario, and then at the Brantford Collegiate Institute. From this he passed in 1881 to Victoria University, the leading Methodist institution for higher learning in Canada, since aliiliated with Toronto Uni- versity. After becoming a liachelor of Arts, he proceeded to take the Il, Sc. degree, and in 18884graduated with first honors in Mathematics and the University medal in Natural Science. .Having spent seven years of active work in Ontario as a teacher of Mathematics and Physics and a government examiner, he became a resident graduate student at the University of Minnesota in the departments of Chemistry and lf'hysics, and received in 1898 the degree of Doctor of Phil- osophy. From 1895 until 1903 he was head of the department of Chemistry and .Physics in the Minneapolis High School. This was a period of great and varied activity: as secretary of the Minnesota Academy of Science: as president of the Canadian Christian Endeavor Society: as president of the Minneapolis District Epworth League and City Union: as superintendent of one of the largest Sunday Schools in the city: as a teacher in the local Young Men's Christian Association: as president of the Young l'eople's Christian 'llemperance ,Union of Minneapolis: as a local preacher: and, in the field of civic matters, as state delegate in Minnesota for the election of McKinley and Roosevelt. Desiring to leave secondary education for university work, Dr. Beane transferred his professional activities to the Lipper lowa University, where he served for two years with much acceptance as the head of the department of Physics. ln the Autumn of 1905 he resigned this position to become Pro- fessor of Physics in the University of Southern California. Two years of ceaseless efforts brought his department into a condition of high efficiency both for methods and equipment: and he was just preparing to enjoy some of the fruits of his labors when death snatched him away. As lecturer in the College of Dentistry of the University and in the local Young Men's Christian Association, Dr, lleane had many calls upon his time and energies. He has left a noble record behind him. and all who knew him join in an un- alloyed tribute of sincerest regret for his loss. 7
