A WORTHY TRIBUTE.

EThe account Of the meeting Oh ''',
R,,rd of Visitors OF The University OBJ
VIRGINIA ON March 18th has uns
about il that is well worth noting
"Prof Francis h.. smith, says The
account, "for hfy-eight years has helo
the chair Of physic, aud has NOT only
taught the laws Of nature, but of man
n Ia and right living.
Professor smith i, the best beloved
and most universally respected meme
Der of the Academy faculty. lie Is
graduate of this university and per-
hans the best known man in his de-
partment of education in the South
Prof smith placed his resignation
I'm the hands of the Board, which
adouted the following minute:
"The Board of Visitors desires to
place ON record its appreciation OF the
character. the devotion. The genius

of Vireinia for ffty-scvcu years.

professor of natural philosophy, NE
has SO conducted that school TOT "a
half century that its fame and its re-
mutation throughout the country mas

"T6e board desires, too, % bear lesli-
r,,nv to the strength given 90 this
university through the character ana
life of Professor smith. Thousands OF

"rhe Board of Visitors wishes Tor
him the pleasure and freedom th"l
comes Of duty nobly done, ana desires
the privilege of retaining him as emf
eritus professor of natural philosophy
upon the rolls of the university
What a tribute, aud how truly de-
served! No monument Of bronze OF
marble is equal TO that Whatfortune,
what great name, what applause can
satisfy man or his children as can "a
character like that? Thousands of
young men have had their ideals adj
vanced and their conception Of life Gle
vatei" by contact with him such
influence as that does not stop with
time. 1t goes on into eternity.
What is education for? The de
velopment Of character. The people
of Virginia should keepthis constantly
in mind; should write it upon their
hearts. Education is like hay and
stubble unless it be built upon char
acter; unless it strengthens character,
and unless it makes character its
ideal Nothing else is worth anything
in itself. Nothing is Of value unless it
tends to produce and strengthen char
acter.
There could be no finer, no more
beautiful illustration of the ideally
educated man and the ideal educator
than is found in Francis II. Smith,
d Let all Virginians strive to give their
children an education like his-that
education which has produced i'm him
a beautiful Christian manhood.
