GEORGE E. DIMOCK
1853 - 1919
The recent death of George E. Dimock, who was for
sixteen years a devoted Trustee of the CO116g6, is
felt by the Faculty to be an irreparable loss.F0r
Mr. Dimock combined in unusual measure ability in
business with the tastes of a man of letters, and
as he chose to make the educational and intellectual
life of the College his special interest, he rendered
it exceptional service. A member of the Comittee
on Faculty and Studies, he was always alive to the need
of materials for study; himself a collector of books,
he enriched the Library; he promoted research. Still
more memorable was the personal appreciation which he
manifested toward all achievements of faculty and
students, who felt his commendation to be both a
reward and an incentive. There are few men indeed
of the present generation who merit so well the
description expressed in the Classic phrase, "a
friend of learning."
While his influence will long be held in living memory
with gratitude and admiration, it is enacted as a
permanent memorial that this recognition of his life
of service be engrossed in the Minutes of the Faculty.
It is further moved that a copy of the above-written
resolution be presented by the Secretary to Mrs. Dimock
