From 1873 to 1883, Mr. Moen was treasurer of the Institute, and un¬ til his death a member of the most important committee of the corpora¬ tion, that on grounds, buildings and current expenses. To the Institute he gave most cheerfully both time and money. In 1883, he subscribed $25,000 for the increase of the endowment fund, and both earlier and later gave, as occasion made needful, smaller sums for special equip¬ ment, or apparatus or books. He had a warm interest in young men who were struggling to get an education, and responded most liberally to appeals for their assistance. Mr. Moen had such rare grace and attractiveness of person and man¬ ner, that he was called the most courteous gentleman in Worcester. This greatly assisted him in his intercourse with men of business, and everywhere made him many friends. He had also, great quickness of perception, and a keen insight of character. Hence he transacted or¬ dinary business with wonderful despatch. To these natural qualities he added unremitting industry and marvellous fidelity in attending to the details of every duty and trust which came to him. He was punctual, wasting no time, either for others or himself; he was sympathetic, mak¬ ing others feel, even in a few words, that he had a warm personal inter¬ est in them; he was generous, contributing to a large number of worthy objects; he was steadfast in adhering to a high standing of in¬ tegrity ; he was a man of unblemished personal habits, and of positive and yet charitable religious convictions. He blessed and brightened the world while he lived, and his memory will ennoble and enrich all who knew him. 11
