MELETEAN Professor L. H. Clark Mr. Clark's resignation from the faculty of the Normal School startled us with a feeling of almost elemental loss. For twenty-eight years he has labored in our midst, working whole-heartedly and ably for the institution and for the welfare of the boys and girls in Wisconsin and neighboring states. So sure and constant has been his service that we can hardly contemplate the school without his presence. As the end of his service approaches, we feel keenly our loss and offer to him our tribute. In doing so it is fitting that we inquire concerning that part of his life that preceded his service with us. That and the portion we know so well, will, when joined with a third, constitute a goodly period of usefulness. Mr. Clark was bom February 26, 1852, in Clarendon, New York. He received his elementary training in his native state in the schools of Clarendon and Rochester. It was his lot to follow the migratory stream that has peopled the great Northwest, stopping now and then, as did many another, till the current swept him onward. He attended high school in Saginaw, Michigan, from 1865 to 1868. In the latter year he came to Wisconsin, and for four years lived on a farm in Green Countv. — 1920 — Pate io
