unique record of having completed a half-centurj- of continuous ser dce as a col- lege professor. Dr. Royall was ordained as a minister of the gospel in 1869, and for thirty- seven years served as pastor of countrj ' and village churches. In all of these churches the memory of his gentle influence and untiring devotion is cherished as a perpetual benediction. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Jud.son Col- lege in 1886, and that of Doctor of Laws by Furman University in 1907. Dr. Royall ' s scholarship is solid, profound, and discriminating, and yet is pervaded by a most delightful and refreshing modesty that forbids an ' undue display of the depth and extent of his erudition. These endowments of learning and simplicity, combined with an intimate knowledge of and sympathy with his fellow-men, an extiuisite tactfulness, a clearness of vision and fa.stidiousness of taste, have made him an itleal teacher. No earnest student ever came under his influence without feeling the inspiration toward the good and the beautiful in life.

For over forty years he was the adviser and examiner of the ministerial students of the College, and the .same gentleness and graciousness that characterized his own ministry wen ' in rich measure imparted to the young men who began their spir- itual labors with his kindly counsel and encouragement. It is impossible to wTite of Dr. Royall as a friend and an a.ssociate: the heart grows full and worils are inadequate. We who have known him, who have seen the beauty and gentleness of his home life, his quiet geniality and cheerfulness in the social zircle. his Christlike patience in trials and sufferings, his unosten- tatious piety, and his unswerving loyalty to all that is true, noble, and good, we love him from the depths of our hearts and we honor him with full devotion. We fervently l)ra - that many years may yet be added to the beautiful and useful life of this servant of (iod.
