HUDNALL was born in 1870, in Mississippi, and died it ,l , in 1916, at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Blacksburg, 1 Va. He was therefore in the forty-seventh year of his age, and in the eighteenth year of his service as a professor at ,l . this institution. l 4 l ' Extended biographical notices by Drs. Metcalfe, Lingle, and New- , man 'appeared in the November Bulletin, This, therefore, is in no ir sense intended to be a sketch of the life and activities of Dr. Hudnall, X but merely an appreciation. Q l As a teacher, Dr. Hudnall brought to his work a well. equipped and i trained mind. For eighteen yearshe was head of the Department of ' English at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. The most striking l i characteristics of his work werejperhaps carefulness, thoroness, and 5? conscientiousness. He magnified his department, and glorified in his work. He demanded of his students the qualities which he enjoyed in 4 a pre-eminent degree himself. His interest, however, in the institution 4 'i was not bounded by the limits of his departmental or professorial l work, but was as broad in its scope as the life and activities of the institution. He was the friend of every membertof the faculty. Every student I ' 1 under his care was the object of loving solicitude. Asa man, his ideals , 1 were lofty, his life was cllean, his mind and heart sound. His sympathies i were broad, his interest in all that pertained to what is worth while i in life was deep and strong. Those who were fortunate enough to 4 L enjoy his friendship could but be impressed with his sincerity, with his tenderness, with his liberality of mind, his high sense of justice, and his keen sense of honor. Ready to encourage those who had succeeded, PL and to appreciate to its fulll worth the merit of their work, he was j 5 equally ready to lend a helping hand to him who had been less fortunate, and had failed. . Not only did the institution of which he was an honored professor profit by.his broad interest and sympathy, but the town, the com- i Wi munity, the church, and the State as well. His activity in the social and church life of his town is well known. Whatever tended to elevate . and uplift, always elicited his aid and approval. In his death, Virginia Polytechnic ,Institute has suffered a i j severe loss, a loss which was keenly felt by faculty and student alike. T ' His impress for good has been left upon both bodies, and tho he has passed away, yet the spirit which actuated him in his life remains i , with us still, and will serve to guide to higher things those who were 1 associated with him. , R, ' i i it . fi 0 , is so 1 A 1 4 f A - - I2
