Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memorial Discourse on the Life and Services of Henry Simmons Frieze, LL. D: Professor of the Latin Language and Literature in the University From 1854-1889; Delivered in University Hall by Request of the Senate, March 16, 1890 At a meeting of the University Senate, held December 7, 1889, the following memorandum, relative to the death of Professor Henry S. Frieze, was ordered to be recorded in the minutes: In the death of Professor Frieze, who passed into eternal rest this morning, the Senate is called to mourn the loss of one who for a long period of years has rendered the University conspicuous and inestimable service. In view of this event the Senate desires to spread upon its records the following minute as an expression of its sense of bereavement and as a tribute to the memory of one of its most distinguished and beloved members. Henry Simmons Frieze was born in Boston, Massachusetts, September 15, 1817, and died in Ann Arbor, Michigan, December 7, 1889, in his seventy-third year. In his early youth his family removed to Rhode Island, where they continued to reside. He was prepared for college in a private school at Newport, and entered Brown University at the age of twenty. He pursued the regular course of study, and was graduated at the head of his class in 1841. He was immediately called to a tutorship in the University, which position he held for three years. He then became one of the proprietors and principals of the University Grammar School, and continued in that work till 1854. In that year he accepted the Professorship of Latin in the University of Michigan, then under the Presidency of Dr. Tappan, and held that position uninterruptedly for thirty-five years. During that period he also discharged the duties of Acting President at two different times - first for two years, from 1869 to 1871, after the resignation of President Haven, and again for nearly two years in 1880-81, while President Angell was absent as Minister to China.
