m $ TH E VOLVN TEE I9 . lax: 5.15M be Professor Samuel McCutcheon Bain, professor of Botany in the College of Agriculture, died suddenly at his home on Thursday even- ing, January 301, 1919. Prof. Bain was a native of Middle Tennessee, coming to Knoxville in 1893 as associate professor of botany, being promoted to head professor the following year. He had been in the service of the University experimental station longer than any other man. His research work was especially valuable as well as his scientific instruction. He developed a special variety of red clover resistant to an unknown disease then attacking the crop throughout Tennessee. Trice cotton, adapted to growth in the uplands of Tennes- see, was discovered by him. Furthermore, he contributed valuable studies of grasses and forage crops to the Department of Agriculture. Prof. Bain was particularly interested in color photographs of Appa- lachian flora. The personality of this professor will long be remembered among us. He was especially genial, interesting, and lovable. Devoted to his science, he implanted interest and devotion in his students, causing a keener zest for study among them and making them feel in a degree his own love of the subject. The nature-world has lost one of its most sympathetic interpreters, while the human circle in which he moved feels deeply the absence of his lovable personality. His qualities were such that his infiuence is permanently established among us. ! C ngprit 'N INETE EN s N IN ETEEN'
