His strict fidelity to duty, his high ideals of life and scholarship, his deep sense of moral responsibility, impressed all with his strength of character, while his justice, sympathy and kindly spirit won for him the confidence and affection of those with whom he lived and worked. During his long term of service in Vassar College, from l87h to l907, he rarely failed to meet a college engagement. His career as an edu- cator covered a unique period in the development of science. He was among the first to introduce labora- tory method in the college course. His researches in the field of radiant energy brought him to the thres- hold of discoveries that have made others famous. His clarity of expression, devotion to truth and im- partial attitude of mind, comanded the respect and admiration of many generations of students and made a potent influence in their lives. Though Emeritus Pro- fessor he continued to be identified in many ways with the Faculty so that by his death the college mourns the loss of a devoted officer and a loyal friend Abby Leach J.
