During thel Civil War pr Judson was president of the Greenville Fe- | male College, and for several years aft | CT the war. In this position he was lnStrumental In saving that institu- | tion also. He managed it's affairs and saved It's property and contributed to US support during seasons of great de- preston and stringency. In the re- of Furman University he Contributed over twenty-Six thousand dollars. He was not rich man, but by frugality, economy and good management he ac- cumulated some means, and he has always been generous and a liberal contributor to benevolent, charitable and religious purposes. He gave over fifteen thousand dotlars to endow the Carnegie Library for Furman Univer- sity. He gave his name to that in- st1tution. His life and his property
 he laid on the altar of the institution so dear to his heart. He made Green vile his home in 1851, and the up building of Furman University his life-work, and nothing could change his purposes. He had the opportunity | time and again of going elsewhere Twice he was offered the presidency | of the JudSon Institute, Marion. Ala, | and twice that of Richmond Female
 College, Richmond, Va, and twice he
 was offered a professorship in Rich
 mond College. After he came to
 Greenville he was never a place-hunt-
 CT, his ambition being to make Fur | man University an institution worthy
 of the people of the State. For over
 55 years he faithfully performed his
 duties as teacher, and it is gratify-
 ing that the Carnegie Foundation for | Teaching recognized his faithful and
 distinguished services as a teacher,
 and voted him an annuity of one
 thousand dollars. This honor was
 conferred upon him a few weeks be-
 fore his death For many years he
 was an honored deacon of the First
 Baptist church, Greenville, and his
 life as Christian has been active and
 blameless. For many years he was
 the treasurer of the Baptist State Convention, and a member of the board of State Missions. At the time
 or his death he was trustee of the Southern Baptist Theological Semi
 nary. Louisville. He was held in the
 highest esteem by the Baptists all over
 the country. AS scholar and teach } CT Dr Judson was preeminent, rank
 ing among the finest mathematicians } in the United States. He was well
 known in the realm of letters and ) science. His papers have been copied into the leading scientific journals oi
 the day. One of these, "An Investi gation of the Arithmetical Relations Between Zero and Infinity," was no
 tlced in a most favorable way in the 7 Analyst for 1881. He assisted in com bling Wentworth's Geometry, 1879 and published and assisted in revising many other text books on geometry l and algebra.
 , There are teachers who strive tirst ' and foremost in their work a. educators to cultivate the intellect tC give scientific or philosophical turr to the minds they deal with. They dC much to unfold the rational powers, tC ) expand thought, and enlarge the men
 tai grasp. This is a worthy aim, but by | itself alone is partial and short of ths
 highest. The true educator adopts nc ) arbitrary anatomy of the human persor
 but deals with the entire personality , No student ever sat under pr Judsor
 to learn mathematics and went away
 either with or without diploma in
 this school, in just the same ethical } mood that he came. He was taugh, mathematics, he imbibed moral ideas
 His idea Of life and manhood, of duty
 and obligation, underwent a change as inevitable as tbat brought about by tue science Of mathematics in the
 domain of the pure intellect.
