VOLUME VII NUMBER 9University RecordJANUARY, 1903REPORT OF THE LIBRARY COMMISSION.In accordance with the request of the Congregation made June 16, 1902, the Board of Trustees, by action taken June 24, appointed as aJoint Commission on Library Building and Policythe following persons : Messrs. Martin A. Ryer-son, Franklin MacVeagh, F. A. Smith, W. R.Harper, F. I. Carpenter, J. M. Coulter, A. W.Small, H. P. Judson, W. G. Hale, and E. D.Burton.This Commission made a careful study of thepast growth of the several departments of theUniversity with a view to forming a judgment respecting their relative space requirements, bothfor books and for students; and also of thegrowth of the several departmental libraries andthe General Library, comparing these results withthe reports of the libraries of several of the otherleading universities of the country, with a view todetermining approximately the probable rate ofthe future growth of the libraries.The result of these studies was to convince theCommission that it was practicable to devise aplan by which all the libraries of what have usuallybeen called the "humanities" groups might beplaced in departmental buildings, and at the sametime brought into such relation to the GeneralLibrary Building as to accomplish nearly all the1 Report to the Congregation of the" University of Chicagoof the Library Commission created by the Board of Trustees in accordance with the action of the Congregation,June 16, 1902, and presented to and approved by theCongregation, August 28, 1902. The Recommendations tothe Board of Trustees embodied in this report were approvedby that Board September 16, 1902. good results which could be achieved by placingdepartmental libraries in the General LibraryBuilding.Plans embodying this general idea were submitted to Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge, and Mr.Coolidge went carefully over them with the Commission to determine their feasibility from anarchitectural point of view. Mr. Coolidge havingexpressed the judgment that the plans were notonly feasible, but the best that had been proposed,and the most practicable so far as could be seennow, the Commission at a meeting held August12, 1902, adopted the following recommendationsto the Board of Trustees :1. That, with a view to securing, as far as possible, the advantages both of location of departmental libraries in departmental buildings, andof placing such libraries in the General LibraryBuilding, the departmental libraries of the following groups of departments and schools, viz.,(1) Philosophy, (2) History and the Social Sciences,(3) Classics, (4) Modern Languages, (5) OrientalLanguages, (6) the Divinity School, (7) the LawSchool, be located in the buildings of these several groups and schools, but so connected withthe General Library as to make communicationbetween these several libraries as easy as possible.2. And in particular, that the sites indicatedfor the several buildings on the plan submittedby Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge be assigned tothose buildings, viz. :To the General Library Building, a space approximately 216 feet by 90 feet, extending 108feet east and west of the center of the south line265266 UNIVERSITY RECORDof the main Quadrangle and 90 feet north of thisline.To the Modern Language Building, a spaceapproximately 152 feet directly west of the General Library Building by 80 feet from north tosouth at its eastern end and 60 feet at its westernend.To the Classical Building, a space approximately 60 feet by 115 feet at the southwest corner of the Quadrangle, viz., 20 feet west of theModern Language Building, and south of thealready existing Dormitories on the west side ofthe Quadrangle.To the Building of the Historical and SocialSciences, a space approximately 168 feet directlyeast of the General Library Building, by 80 feetfrom north to south at its western end and 60feet at its eastern end; leaving a space of 20 feetbetween this building and Nancy Foster Hall.To the Law Building, a space approximately170 feet from north to south, beginning 20 feetnorth of the Historical Building, and 216 feetdirectly east of Haskell Museum.To the Divinity Buildings a T-shaped spaceapproximately 180 feet from east to west and 125feet from north to south, 20 feet north of HaskellMuseum and 85 feet east of Cobb Hall.To Philosophy, the necessary amount of thespace north of the site of the Law Building andwest of Walker Museum, the remainder of thisspace being reserved for the extension of theMuseum.3. That the several buildings when erected beconnected by bridges substantially as indicated onthe plan.z 4. That in each of these buildings, to be hereafter erected, there be provided, in addition tolecture rooms, seminary rooms, offices, etc., alibrary for the use of the graduate and Senior College students working in these several groups ofdepartments, with reasonable provision for theprospective growth of these departments.5. That the departmental libraries of each groupconsist of so many of those books desired by the several departments for the use of graduate andSenior College students as the space which canbe allotted for the departmental library will permit, it being understood that other books belonging to the departments in question will be placedin the General Library Building.6. That reasonable stack facilities be providedfor each departmental library, either in the departmental building or in an adjacent portion of theGeneral Library; in either case such stack to besubject to the same departmental control as thelibrary in the departmental building.7. That a large reading -room be provided inthe General Library Building.8. That a catalogue of the departmental libraryof each group be provided in the library room ofthe group, and that the General Library contain,accessible to readers, a catalogue of all books inthe General Library and the several departmentallibraries.9. That such communication be established between the several departmental libraries above-named and the General Library that transfer ofbooks from any one of these libraries to any othermay be made with the greatest possible facility, asnearly as possible as if they were all located in onebuilding.10. That, subject to the regulations of the departmental libraries, and to such regulations asthe Library Board may approve, it shall be theprivilege of students and instructors to bring together, from the several libraries above named,books which they may need to use together, eitherto the General Library or to that departmentallibrary in which they are working.n. That the Library Board be instructed toappoint a committee on Library Building, whichshall make a deliberate and detailed study of theproblem of the General Library building, andmake recommendations to the Library Board, andthrough this board to the Board of Trustees, concerning plans for the General Library building,and concerning its relation to the departmentallibraries.UNIVERSITY RECORD 26712. That, pending the erection of a GeneralLibrary building, the Library Board be instructedto present to the Board of Trustees a plan foraccomplishing the end aimed at in Recommendations 9 and io, including the preparation of thecatalogue described in Recommendation 8.At a previous meeting of the Commission it hadbeen voted to approve the placing of the departmental libraries of Chemistry, Physics, Geology,and the Biological Sciences in the departmentalbuildings of these departments, it being understood that these departments may place such booksas they desire in the General Library building.The Commission also expressed its judgment thatthe Library of Mathematics, and that of Astronomyso far as it exists on the main Quadrangle, shouldbe associated with the Library of Physics, it beingexpected that a building for Mathematics andAstronomy will at some time be erected near theRyerson Physical Laboratory. These actions ofthe Commission were presupposed in the aboverecommendations, and in effect added to them.The plans recommended in the foregoing reportprovide for the General Library a building which,in addition to ample corridors, stairs, and elevators, will yield approximately 18,000 square feetof floor space for administration and kindred purposes, 1 8,ooo square feet of floor for reading-rooms, and 100,000 square feet of stack floors,stories 7^ feet high. Such a building wouldstore, in easily accessible stacks, from 1,500,000 'to 1,750,000 books, and provide from 700 to 1,000desks for readers. This provides for the growthof the General Library and the libraries of theHumanities Groups (not including Mathematics),for from 75 to no years, if that growth shouldcontinue at the rate averaged in the first five yearsof the history of the University; and this withoutmaking allowance for the capacity of the librariesof the departmental buildings. The rate assumed,16,000 per year, exceeds the current annual growthof Harvard, Cornell, Yale, Johns Hopkins, and, so far as is known to the Commission, that of anyother American university, with the probable exception of Columbia,1 whose annual growth of 19,000volumes includes the Sciences and Mathematics,these being in our plan provided for outside theGeneral Library and the group of buildings nowunder consideration.These plans further provide for a building foreach of the following groups and schools, viz.:Philosophy, History and the Social Sciences,Classics, Modern Languages, Oriental Languages(Haskell), the Divinity School, and the LawSchool, which, itf addition to the lecture-rooms,class-rooms, seminar rooms, studies, offices, etc.,which the rate of growth of these groups andschools in the past (the estimate was made on thebasis of the growth of the years 189 5-1 901) indicates will be needed to provide for their futuredevelopment, will in each case contain a libraryfor the group or school occupying it. Provisionis also made for a museum in each of the following buildings, viz.: Classics, Modern Languages,and History. The areas of these several libraries,as laid out in the provisional plans drawn by thearchitect to test the feasibility of the generalscheme, are adjusted to the probable demands ofthe future as indicated by the statistics of thepast growth of the departments and schools nowin existence. The number of students providedfor, assuming that not more than two-thirds ofthe students in any group of school will be in thelibrary room at any given hour, is as follows:Philosophy and Pedagogy, 190 ; History and theSocial Sciences, 315; Classics, 150; ModernLanguages, 490; Oriental Languages, 60 to 100;a total for these departments of about 1,200 to1,250. These figures are based upon a generousallowance of space for each reader. If the spacein the Law Building, which provides for 1,000students, and that which is contemplated for theDivinity Building, for approximately 450 students, be added, it will be seen that the proposedxThe University of Pennsylvania is perhaps also anexception.268 UNIVERSITY RECORDgroup of buildings in the south half of the mainQuadrangle provides, outside the General LibraryBuilding, Walker, and Cobb, for nearly 2,700 students in residence in any given term or quarter.The provision for Mathematics and the Sciencesin the north half of the Quadrangle, and forJunior College students outside the main Quadrangle, is additional to this. If the actual seating capacity of the Libraries of Philosophy,History, Classics, Modern Languages and OrientalLanguages, viz.: two-thirds of the figures givenabove for these groups, be added to the capacity ofthe General Library, as already stated, it will beseen that these libraries will provide desks for1,500 to 1,800 students at work at a given moment.To these figures the Law and Divinity Buildingswill add perhaps 1,300 desks. The book capacityof the departmental libraries proposed for thesouth half of the Quadrangle would be approximately 100,000 volumes exclusive of the librariesof Law and Divinity. These would perhaps addnearly as many more.Respectfully submitted,On behalf of the Commission,Ernest D. Burton,Chairman.F. I. Carpenter,August 28, 1902.

The rooms are always inorder, warm, and lighted ; and I am sure you have all felt,as I, a sense of comfort on opening the doors. Keeping therooms in order is no slight task, but it has been attended toregularly. Then, again, the magazines have never failed.UNIVERSITY RECORD 271I believe, a year ago, I heard murmurs of : "I wonder howlong these will last." They have lasted, and indeed thenumber has increased.But besides heat, light, reading matter and such materialcomforts there is something else the Union has given us all,and I am sure you will all agree with me. It has given ussympathy for one another and has brought us closer together.Nor by " us " do I mean the girls who have always knowneach other, but the members of the Union, friends andstrangers alike. And now I would ask you to let this greatsympathy which binds us all together be uppermost in yourmind as you hear the reports of the various committees, thework that has been accomplished, and the great responsibilities which have been shouldered.Mildred Richardson,Secretary.THE WOMAN'S UNION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, INACCOUNT WITH RUTH HARDY, TREASURER.DR.To cash paid for furnishing - - - - - - . -$11.20To cash paid for piano 68.50To cash paid for postage, Secretary's books, etc. - - - - 26 . 61To cash paid for magazines, stamps, newspapers - - - 20.68To cash paid for printing 66. 80To cash paid to custodian - 341.00Expense of social meetings - - 67.20Gifts expended as specified 9.00Total $610.99Cr.Dues $453-5°Gifts 37.00Christian Church for use of piano 7.00Lunch-room committee for share of custodian's salary - - 143.44Lunch-room balance 67.73Receipts $708.67Expenses- -_-_ 610.99Balance $ 97.68The Committee on Membership submitted thefollowing report concerning the membership :Annual Quarterly TotalWinter Quarter. 1902 180 66 246Spring Quarter 217 56 27sSummer Quarter 229 33 262Autumn Quarter 339 41 380Attention is called to the fact that, while the quarterlymembership has fluctuated with change of condition and ofUniversity membership, there has been a steady growth inthe number of annual members.

The apparent deficit of August is explained by the fact that among the expenses for that monthwas counted the lunch-room's share of the custodian's salary for September, during which month the lunch-roomwas closed. In December the amount of $26.81 was expended for china. In this month, moreover, lunch wasserved on only fifteen days.The constant running expenses of the lunch-room are$4 per week for the custodian's salary, $2 per week for thecashier's wages, and 75 cents per week for the transportation of soup and chocolate from the Commons. The amountof $60.72 has also been expended by the lunch-room for permanent equipment, such as china, glasses, forks, spoons,bread slicer, and mayonnaise dressing mixer. Five dollarswas also paid for extra service during the illness of thecustodian and $1.95 for paint and labor.The bill of fare has included sandwiches at 3 cents each,soup and chocolate at 5 cents a cup, fruit and cake at pricesvarying with the cost. During the summer lemonade, bouillon, and milk were also served.The largest receipts for any one day were those of October 28, when $8.56 was taken in. On October 31, the receipts were $8.38. From seventy-five to a hundred membersof the Union are now being served daily. Plans areunder consideration for the more adequate equipment ofthe lunch-room, the expense to be met from the balance onhand. Harriet Buckley Kinsley,Chairman.The Philanthropic Committee reported as follows :The work of the Philanthropic Committee has beenorganized along three lines. In the first place, the committee has felt the importance of ministering, where possible,to those of the University community who are ill or in distress. With this object in mind the following communicationwas sent to every woman student in the university, and to272 UNIVERSITY RECORDother women connected with the University who were members of the Union or whose addresses were available to thecommittee :The members of the Union desire to render service or express friendly interest in cases of illness, distress, or sorrowamong the women students of the University. All who areliving away from home are especially asked to make knownany need of friendly service. Information may be sent confidentially to the President of the Union, Miss Talbot, GreenHall ; to the chairman of the house committee, Miss Dudley,Kelly Hall ; or to the chairman of the Philanthropic committee. Laura L. Colman,Chairman of Philanthropic Committee.School of Education.The University of Chicago,November 20, 1902.In response to this request, information of various casesof illness has been received, and in each instance the committee has had the privilege of expressing sympathy byvisits, by the loan of books, or by some attention in theform of flowers or delicacies. It is believed that these effortsof the committee have been cordially appreciated, and it ishoped that this phase of the work can be carried to a muchhigher state of development during the coming year.In the second place, the committee has f urnisKed workersto the University Settlement. Particularly during the summer months the committee feels that it was of service in thisway.The third phase of work anticipated by the committee hasbut just been entered upon. It is planned, however, to makeknown and attempt to awaken interest among the membersof the Union in the efforts of the Consumer's League. Oneof the regular reception days during the Autumn Quarterwas devoted to an explanation and discussion of this work,and the committee anticipates devoting more time and effortto this particular interest.Laura L. Colman,Chairman.UNIVERSITY REGISTRATION STATISTICS.*The accompanying table furnishes an eloquentcriterion of the continuous rapid development ofhigher education in the United States. The opening of each new academic year shows a markedadvance over the last, and the number of youngmen and women eager to obtain a universitytraining is keeping steady pace with the rapidgrowth of our country's population. It is certainly an encouraging sign to witness this growing endeavor to lead the intellectual or the scien-1 Reprinted from Science, N. S., Vol. XVI, No. 417, pp.1021-3, December 26, 1902. title life, which will inevitably tend to raise thestandard of American civilization and generalculture.The statistics given herewith are, with few exceptions, approximately as of November 1, 1902,and relate to the registration at eighteen of theleading universities throughout the country. Itwill be noticed that Syracuse University has beenadded this year for the first time, and the reasonfor this is self-explanatory. The figures havebeen obtained from the proper officials of the various institutions concerned, and are as accurateas statistics of this nature can be made. A number of changes may occur during the year, butthey will not be of such a serious nature as toaffect the general result. The question of properenrolment figures is assuming greater importanceeach year, and it goes without saying that there isa tendency to attain as much uniformity as possible in the methods employed at the variousuniversities. At the annual meeting of the Association of American Universities, to be held underthe auspices of Columbia University in New Yorkcity on December 29, 30, and 31, 1902, a representative of Columbia will present a paper on thesubject of " Uniformity of University Statistics,"which should bring out some interesting factsrelating to this matter. The question of doubleregistration, for example, presents more than oneperplexing problem, and a number of universities are endeavoring to eliminate enrolment intwo faculties from their figures altogether by simply taking into consideration the primary registration. One great obstacle in the path of thisdesire is the number of summer-session studentswho return for work in the fail, of which therewere this year 291 at Cornell, 139 at Harvard, 210at Columbia, and so forth. These students werenot registered in two faculties, and yet they causedduplication. In the case of several universitiesthis was lost sight of altogether in last year's compilation, and the apparent falling off in the totalenrolment of Harvard, Michigan, and Cornell isdue to this circumstance. On the whole, thereUNIVERSITY RECORD 2733IBAuisuodsi^YiasnoBiiCgU0430UIIJBiuBA^iCsuuajuiaissAupio^B3[SBiq3J^unossxj\[BJ0S3UUIJ\[uv2\vp}]fo•if 'pjOJUB^SpuBpTsm^doHsuuofBUBipUJpiBAJBJJipuiooBiqurnpoo3bdiiqBJIU0}I|B3 >P • O O N«. • t^ « MM H CO O .VO •00 0O tsH . lO •vo tj- in n •¦«*¦•h o n ¦«*¦ a\ • m¦^ CO W H M •co co • h m • e> m tN • t>.vocmvo >t^o ¦ o h m • w ococo «mvo «hvoh .row • r— "}mt^vo H vo w oo vo •O ¦*¦ mvo m m vo •+ U1WHH M00 VO «*00 H <sH H <N O OAtNCOS N H •oo "£.

About 53 graduate students are enrolled. has been a noticeable increase shown in thesummer-session enrolment throughout the country, and this particular feature of university workseems to be meeting with popular favor.Last year the relative rank of the seventeenleading universities on the basis of total enrolment was as follows : Harvard, Columbia, Michigan, Chicago, California, Minnesota, Cornell,Wisconsin, Yale, Pennsylvania, Northwestern,Indiana, Nebraska, Missouri, Princeton, LelandStanford, Johns Hopkins.If we count in the students attending coursesfor teachers, who are held to the full requirementsof regular courses in Teachers College, it will beseen that Columbia has passed the 5,000 markand has almost reached Harvard. Chicago hashad a considerable - increase over last year, haspassed Michigan, and now ranks third, or, if Columbia's extension students be deducted, second,with Columbia third. Michigan occupies fourthplace, and then come California, Minnesota, Cornell, and Wisconsin in the same relative positionsas last year. Northwestern's increase of over 400has placed her ahead of both Yale and Pennsylvania, which occupy tenth and eleventh places,respectively. Nebraska has passed Indiana, likewise showing an increase of almost 400. Syracusealso has a larger enrolment than Indiana. AfterIndiana and Missouri comes Leland Stanford,which has passed Princeton.As far as the different departments are concerned, it will be seen that Harvard still shows byfar the largest collegiate enrolment. On thewhole there has been a small increase in the totalnumber of college students attending the universities under consideration. The scientific schoolsshow a large general increase all along the line,with the single exception of Missouri. There arefewer law students than there were in 1901, inspite of the fact that Chicago has added a lawfaculty since last year. The total number ofmedical students also shows a decrease, which isaccounted for largely by the facts that the admission requirements at Columbia have been strength-274 UNIVERSITY RECORDened, and that the last class admitted at Harvardwithout the degree requirements graduated in thespring. Michigan has still the largest enrolmentin its law faculty, and Columbia still heads thelist in the faculty of medicine and in the graduateschools. The grand total of graduate studentsshows a slight increase over that of last year.There have been no important changes in therelative ranking of the teaching force in thelargest institutions, Harvard still leading, withColumbia second Rudolf Tombo, Jr.,Columbia University.

Hisearly education was received in his native city.He graduated from the high school in 1891, atthe early age of fourteen years. In 1894 hegraduated from the academy in Washington,Iowa, and from there he entered the Universityof Chicago, receiving the degree of Ph.B. in 1899.Throughout his education and career he distinguished himself for his brilliancy of intellectand scholarly attainments. During his collegiatecourse he received honorary mention for hiswork, both in the Junior and Senior Colleges.As a graduate student he was offered a fellowship,which he declined in order to continue his teaching in the South Side Academy as instructor inhistory.The faculty of the Department of History recognized in Mr. Burroughs, one of the keenesthistorical minds which it had been their pleasureto instruct.In 1 90 1 he accepted a fellowship in the department of history, at the University of Pennsylvania.Last fall, accompanied by Samuel N. Harper,'02, he went to Paris, to continue his work at theSorbonne. Wherever he studied he gained thesame reputation for high scholarship and keenintellect.Mr. Burroughs excelled not only as a student,but also as an athlete he had a wide reputation asa runner, having accompanied the team whichwaCs sent to the Olympian Games during the ParisExposition. As a musician, he took an activepart in the Glee and Mandolin Clubs while atthe University. He was one of the prominentUNIVERSITY RECORD 277men in the social life of the University, and interested himself in every movement which tendedto build up the social life in the new institution.He touched student life, at all its points. Heseemed to have all qualities which go to make upthe truest and noblest type of manhood. Hewas loved and respected by faculty and studentsalike. He was approachable, genial, and alwayshad the same pleasant greeting. He won friendswherever he went.As a fitting expression of the high esteem withwhich his fellow students regarded him, the classof '99 unanimously elected him president of theclass, a position which has come to mean thehighest elective honor which can be bestowedupon any student. On the day of their graduation, it seemed most appropriate that Burroughsshould be the one to stand in the presence of thefaculty and before a large audience and deliverthe first student address at a University Convocation.The high regard in which he was held by thealumni was appropriately expressed in the following resolutions which were adopted by theChicago Alumni Club at its semi annual dinneron November 26 :Whereas, It is with a feeling of deep sorrow that we, themembers of the Chicago Alumni Club of the University ofChicago, have just learned of the death of our friend andfellow-member, Charles Lindsey Burroughs, andWhereas, Many of us during his course at the University, and during his connection with it since his graduation,have enjoyed close, personal friendship with him, and wereso fortunate as to be closely identified with him in his manylabors undertaken on behalf of our Alma Mater, and havewith sincere admiration and appreciation felt the effect ofhis sterling character in all of his acts and deeds among us,andWhereas, Those of us who have so fortunately enjoyeda close intimacy with him, and those others of us who havenot been so fortunate as to associate with him in a personalfriendship, do all bear witness to the esteem in which wehave always held him for his noble traits of character, aswell as for the marked success to which he attained in allof his achievements for the University, which has been soenriched by his presence among us.It is with a deep feeling of sorrow and grief that we ex press here our pride in him as one of the truest and mostloyal and faithful sons of our University, our deep feeling ofloss and bereavement in his death, and our most sinceresympathy to all his many friends, and more particularly tohis family, which we feel has sustained a loss so great andso lasting that his place in their hearts can never be filled.To them we wish to extend our sympathy, to express tothem, so far as we are able to give adequate expression toour feelings, the high place which Charles Lindsey Burroughshas held, and will ever hold, in the hearts of all of us asone of the most dearly prized and most highly honored sonsof the University of Chicago.CHICAGO ALUMN/E CLUB.The Chicago Alumnse Club held its Januarymeeting at the Art Institute on January 9. MissAngeline Loesch, 1897, president of the club,presided. After a short business session, a farceentitled The Shade of Night was presented bymembers of the University Dramatic Club.

C, December 30, 1902. He obtainedhis collegiate education at Bowdoin College, fromwhich he received the A.B. degree in 1892, andthe A.M. degree in 1893. He entered the University in 1893 and received his Ph.D. degree in1895. During the year 1895-6 he was instructorin Latin in Brown University, a position which heresigned in order to accept an instructorship inLatin in the University of North Carolina. In1897 he was promoted to an associate professorship in classical philology, and in 1899 ne wasmade professor of Latin, a position which he heldat the time of his death.Mr. Linscott assisted Professor Harkness in278 UNIVERSITY RECORDediting the latest edition of his Latin Grammar,and left unfinished two Latin text-books:The esteem with which he was held by his colleagues is well expressed by President F. P. Vena-ble:The University has lost, by the death of Henry FarrarLinscott, one of the ablest men in its faculty. Finely trainedfor his work, he entered upon it with a zeal and fidelitywhich could only lead to the highest success. Few morescholarly men have ever taught in these halls. His literaryinstinct was true, with a touch of the finer poetic spirit. Hisjudgment was safe, and he kept a quiet, sound balance ofmind which made him of great value in council.The students, through their weekly paper,expressed their respect in the following words :Dr. Linscott was honored, esteemed, and loved by theentire student body, especially by those who daily sat underhim as he lectured. He possessed that rare quality of beingable to put himself upon a perfectly familiar basis with hispupils, at the same time maintaining their profoundestrespect, and preserving the integrity of his own dignity asprofessor. To the industrious student his face was alwayspleasant, his words kind ; but to the shirker of duty or to onewho wished to disregard the proprieties of the class-room,his words conveyed the keenest satire.As a lecturer, he was exceedingly entertaining, though itmay be truly said that the public never knew him at hisbest. He was never so natural, or so at his ease, as whenspeaking to his classes from his private desk. The following resolutions were passed by thefaculty of the University of North Carolina onJanuary 5, 1903, and were recorded in the Journal:The death of Dr. Henry Farrar Linscott, professor of theLatin language and literature, has brought profound sorrowto the faculty of the University of North Carolina.As a scholar and as a man, he won for himself a place ofrare distinction in the esteem of the university circles and ofthe community at large.Thoroughly equipped in scholarship, endowed with intellectual gifts of high order, he exerted an inspiring influence over his colleagues and over the large number ofstudents whom he taught.He was helpful and judicious in the counsels of the faculty.He rendered invaluable service as editor of important university publications, 0In all these things he was the reliable, the inspiringscholar, the efficient officer. But he was something more<He was a man of broad culture, a courteous gentleman, anaffectionate, sympathetic friend.The sweetness and gentleness of his disposition were thecharm of those to whom is was given to know Jhim intimately.To the family whose circle has been broken by the departure of this chosen member, we respectfully offer our deepsympathy.Mr. Linscott was buried at Thomaston, Me., onJanuary 5, 1903.
