WORTH UNIVERSITY pE1zE.

In 1883 the late David CASTOR
Worth, Of this city, who was one Of
the staunchest friends and strongest
supporters our state university ever
Lad and who took great pride IN that
institution and interest in the records
made in after life by the men who
graduated therefrom, established an
annual contest at the university for d
gold medal among the students in phil
-osophy. Mr.. Worth died in 1897, but
his good work in this line did not die
with him. His son, Mr.. Charles W.
Worth, a graduate of the university,
and now one of the most prominent
business men of u city, in memory of
his father, continued the contest. In
1893 Mr.. Worth changed the award Of
a gold medal for the best thesis in
philosophy II a prize-this prize to be
the publication in pamphlet form of
the thesis of the successful contest
ant, with his name of course. and
the distribution of copies over the
whole country, many of them also, we
believe, being SEN to Europe. The
idea in making this change was that
the publication and distribution of the
thesis would be of greater benefit to
the successful contestants than the
presentation of a gold medal; that 1t
would give them a standing and start
them in life with a reputation in the
line of study chosen which the possess
ing Of a gold medal would not do.
At the recent commencement at the
state university the Worth prize was
awarded to Mr.. Ohio Biscent Ross, the
subject of whose thesis was 1.-THE
Place of the Church in Religion" We
will not attempt a review of the arti-
Gle. Such effort would convey no ac-
curate idea of it's contents, as it mus be
read in full to be appreciated and I'M
derstood. The pamphlet also contains
a list of the names of the young men
who have won this prize in past years
and a short record of their subsequent
careers.

fame, the hero who commanded the

Samuel Hitchcock, one of the foremost
men of New England in his day, and
their son Henry moved from New Eng

law and rose to the position of chief
justice of the supreme bench of the

him minister 10 Russia, and, as the le-
cation at st. Petersburg was raised to
the status of an embassy shortly after
he arrived at his post, he became the
first American ambassador to the court
Of the car. Mr. Mckinley invited him
in 1899 to take a seat in his cabinet

President Roosevelt has continued him

when Mr.. Mckinley, in 1897, appointed
him commissioner general Of the land

satisfactory to Secretary Hitchcock,
who In 1908 requested his resignation.
