PI)ilip 5- Ha broQCt). HE one to whom this publication is dedicated, in apprecia- tion of his earnest zeal in behalf of our College, was born in Libertyville, Ulster County, New York, in 1870. Philip B. Hasbrouck received his first education at the New York State Normal School, in New Paltz, and from there entered Rutgers College, New Brunswick, New Jersey, in the fall of 1889. While in college he pursued the scientific course, and at the beginning of his sophomore year he elected mathematics and civil engineering, which studies he made his specialties during his entire course, and in which he obtained a very high standing. His college social life was much benefited, in that he was a member of the Chi Psi Fraternity. After bemg graduated he was secretary to the director of tlie Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station; a position which he continued to hold until April, 1895, when he w as appointed to fill the vacancy of Assistant Professor of Mathematics in our own Alma Mater, and in June following he was elected to the same position. During the summer of 1897 he took a special laboratory course in physics at Cornell University, that he might the better fulfill his position here. On June 30, 1897, he was married to Miss Carrie Van Valin. In Professor Hasbrouck we feel that we have one who is ever exerting his utmost to further the interests of our College, and also the interests of the students. Since he has been among us he has placed his department of Mathematics upon that firm basis where it never rested before. As an ex- ample of his untiring efforts we have a newly equipped physical laboratory. In the preparation of this room, and obtaining modern apparatus for its equipment, he has spent many a valuable hour that we students might have better facilities to study nature ' s laws. Whereas, before we had practically no physical laboratory, we now have one which is no very mean affair. Though uneventful his life has been, And not among the great he ' s seen, (All cannot be so blessed,) As one among the rest, He serves his God the best, By serving him without complaint In this, his lowly test.
