Is nOx digEisei 10y the IN &c preiestiSgs
lite, Caplio Avenue Professor Jim Nm.
tsice married. but lac died wit iOat call
dIen.
From an early day he vas given the
title ot professor" the students said
Iat II was ''nf dust and sshe," or .uf
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.: he said that il vas
''oi secrrt',' because he did not let any
one know of what they did. For year.
he carried n Subscriptions paper about the
college just before Thanksgiving and re-
ceived generous gift for IA turkey; and
this custom was continued after he re-
tired from office. So also was the custom
that each graduating class should, on
their class-day, make public presenta-
tion to the professor; this has been done
by every class which has held literary
exercises on classday since its establish
ment in 1855. The gift has been usually
a purse of money, but the Glass OF 1869
presented him with watch, and an earlier
class with gold HEADED cane. The pro-
fessor's speeches have been among the
most amusing and interesting of the ex-
ercises of the day, combining, as was we'll
said, "exhortatiOn, thanks and counsel,
without the least regard to grammar, ar.
or punctuation, until he had
had his say" For some years past, on
class. day, he walked arm in-arm with the
president of the class, and was treated in
other ways with the greatest Difference,
even surprising that which was yielded
to him on ordinary occasions. He was
always present at Commencement; and
last year, though he was unable to pass
the tray, full of tumblers of water, to the
on the stage, he brought on
the roll of diplomas for the graduating
class, and was greeted with generous ap-
plause. When ground was broken for
the new college buildings in 1875, lie
turned sod next after the Chancellor
and the President; and at the conclusion
of the exercises he was honored with
''chairing" OH the shoulders of the
students.
He was always courtly and disnitied in
his bearing, not only on public occasions,
but also as he walked about the streets
Or attended to his regular duties ut the
college, bowling to his many friends and
having pleasant word for each.
Professor Jim was Jealous member
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
where he was greatly beloved
and respected, and in which for years he
was prominent figure.--Frank Leslis's.
