hind There was almost EOneric quality IN Mr.
SchuPg's career-an Odyssey" or adventure and
an "Ilad'' Of achievement
He was German, a son Of the Rhine in the
rouaantfc poetic temperament and in the bright
ness and jOyOusneSS OF his nature. he was at the
same time more purely and pOintedly American
than the great majority Of native born Americans

domain OF history, the engFafted foreigner some
times expresses clearly and perfectly the
nature OF the tree than ths scion Of the original
stock.
He was the manifest, the sanest the purest the
best Of men. He was winner Of mems hearts 20
the end; he drew US all toward him by his gentle
ness and truth.
