RALPH HENRY GRAVES.
His Honesty and Simplicity Improved
All The Students.

I thank you for Offering me this
opportunity to- pay my tribute Of re-
spect and gratitude to Ralph Henry
Graves, the second honored teacher
Of that name in North Carolina. If
we call him a great teacher who COM
bineS profound intellect, clear eXposi-
ton and sincere character, then was
Professor Graves a great teacher.
At the re-opening of the University
in 1875, he was elected Assistant Pro-
lessor of Mathematics, and in a few
years he succeeded DR.. Phillips as full
professor. He was with my brother az
the University of Virginia, who has
often told me what prodigy Graves
was in the estimation of his fellow
students. He and Prof. Thornton were,
I believe, the highest graduates in
Mathematics ever sent forth by that
noble mother Of learning. He was my
teacher all my three years in college,
for it was largely due to his sympa-
thy and inspiration that / took in my
senior year the higher elective mathe-
mates.
1 recall my CONSERVATION at his
telling me one day that, when his
health gave way for a little while be-
fore going to the University Of Vir-
ginia, he went out to live on a farm,
where he worked in the field for the
first half Of the day. and in the af-
ternOon selected as pleasurable recre>
alton the solving of the original
problems in PICKLES Comic Sections.
The men who studied at all realized
the grasp of his giant intellect, but
their wonder at this gave way to gra-
titude for the help he gave them in
showing them how to see and under
stand themselves these abstruse pro-
positions. I can remember time and
again my own delight and gratitude,
after bordering long and earnestly,
with no success, over some tangled
problem Of comic sections or of CAL
culus to see the whole thing open
out into beautiful and Ineligible pro-
portions, as "Old Ralph" took up the
chalk, drew a line here and there.
and, then, gave us his brief but ex-
haustive calculation.
The honesty and simplicity of the
man impressed us all. We felt that
here was a scholar and a teacher, to
whom the truth and it's exposition was
the supreme work of life, a man ready
to help any other honestly striving to
learn, a man according to each one in
his class just and impartial reward.
Prof. Graves is always associated
with the grateful memories of my
dear old Alma Mater.

final exercises at the Hampton Nor

various buildings inspecting the work
and studying the methods in the edu-
cation of the Indian and negro stu

This afternoon the regular anniVer-
sary exercises were held in the gym
attendance was unusually large and
many noted educators from all parts
of the country were present. The pro-
gram included singing of plantation
songs by the negro students and of In
dian songs by the Indian students, and
the presentation of trade certificates
to graduates. After the presentation
of the diplomas Booker T. Washing
ton, of Tuskegee, addressed the stu
dents and informal addresses were
made by several members of the Og~
den party. A pleasing incident of the
day was the presentation to the prin-
ciple of the institute, DR.. p. b. FRS
sell, of purse containing $1,000. The
gift was a surprise. Eight hundred
dollars was contributed by the stu
dents of the institution, the remain
der from an unknown admirer. Book

with a happy speech, Dr. Frissell re-
spending felicitously. This year ends
the twenty-fifth year of DR.. Frissell's
service.
