EVEREND HENRY HOPKINS, D.D., LL.D., son of Mark Hopkins, born in Williamstown, November 30, 1837, a graduate of iWilliams college in 1858, a Christian minister, soldier, citizen and seventh president of his alma mater, died in Rotterdam, Holland, August 18, 1908. Dr. Hopkins was peculiarly the president of the class of nineteen hundred and nine. Under him it passed three years of its existence, and when on the twentieth of September, 1908, funeral services were held in the Thompson Memorial chapel, six members of the class bore his casket to its final resting place in the college cemetery. Dr. Hopkins was nobly endowed by nature, and his gifts were secured to the use of the world in which he moved, by long training and faithful service. Genial toward all, having a genuine concern for the well-being of those for whom he was in any way responsible, kindly in his consideration for others, gentle in dealing with those in distress, whether their misfor- tune came through unavoidable circumstances or through thoughtlessness and folly, he made himself beloved by all.

'WILLIAMS COLLEGE CLASS BOOK I3 the years when the class of eighteen nine was in college shows that 1909 is merely another point on the same stream and not :L point on another stream. The current has been sharp, defined. It has cut a marked path through the hills of history. With the same inherited effort to have the current deep, but in a narrow channel, the college continues into the future. - Q .7 Dis -W WM' X 135. 3' .
