V -f nometry. As Editor of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute Journal for eight years and a contributor to educational and mathematical period¬ icals, he is well known among all students. In 1911 he was appointed Acting President of the Institute, and immediately plunged, “with misgivings ,” he told us, into the added work. How little necessary were the misgivings is amply shown by the rapid strides made in the last two years. And all this work for others! A life of service and trust has well become the quiet, unassum¬ ing man who has become the friend of every student at the Institute and whose influence upon our lives cannot be measured, for who can predict at what points in our Future we are to show the effect that contact with his noble nature has made upon our characters? We tender him our thanks and sincere appreciation of his work in our behalf, hoping that in the years to come we may always co-op¬ erate and serve with him in his efforts for our Tech. 12

His life has been devoted to ed¬ ucational work; upon graduation he became associated with the Public Schools until 1887, when he became Professor of Mathe¬ matics at the Dakota School of Mines. A year of graduate work at Clark University fol¬ lowed, and in 1891 he came to the Institute. For nine years he served actively on the Worcester Board of Education, becoming its Chairman in 1909; since that time he has been a member of the State Board of Educa- tion. In spite of his many duties he has still found time to prepare and publish several ex¬ cellent text-books on Geometry and Trigo- II
