Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketch of the Life of Edward C. Herrick: Late Librarian and Treasurer of Yale College It is only a few months since our pages gave to the public a brief memoir of Professor Lamed of Yale College, who had been suddenly cut down in the midst of his greatest usefulness. And now, by a death almost equally sudden, another valued officer of that Institution has been called away. With what startling frequency has death of late taken his victims from the same small group of associates in office! It is only ten years since Professor Kingsley, full of years and in the ripeness of scholarship and of character, was summoned to depart, and, although for many years before the occurrence of that sad event the officers of the college had enjoyed a singular exemption from the visitations of death, yet, in the short interval which has since elapsed, no less than twelve men, who had together held professorships in the various departments of the University, have passed away. Three of these had previously withdrawn from the college to other places of residence, and one other had ceased from active duties as an instructor by reason of the infirmities of age. But now all of these are numbered with the dead: - Norton, Stanley, Taylor, Goodrich, Olmsted, Gibbs, Larned, Bissell, Tully, Storrs, Beers, Ives. And last, Mr. Herrick has fallen, - not a professor in any department of instruction, it is true, but a most useful officer, and worthy to he intimately associated, as he was, with the most honored of those who have been, or who continue to be, connected with the Institution. A fearful mortality! But the friends of the college are not left unconsoled. These departed men have left an abiding influence behind them; and they have, by their genius, their achievements in the various departments of science and letters, their eminent usefulness or rare promise, as well as by their faithful lives, left a rich and honorable legacy to the institution with which, while they lived, they were in so great a degree identified.
