following tribute to the memory OF
DR.. Eduardo Andrade, Psychologist of

Institutions and organizations as
they advance in years, meet with the
same vicissitudes incident to life as
does the individual of society.
1 sDisappointments, losses, sorrows
and grief come to the corporation, not
perhaps with singing blow nor with
the crushing force as to an individual,
/ but yet, both in their time and in their
way, suffer the ills incident to human
| life. When young, each rejoices in a
prospect of success and happiness;
each looks forward only to the bright
and pleasing things which always
loom up on the horizon of youth, but
as the days advance and the mile
stones which donate only too truly the
shortening of the distance which
marks the end of all things human.
the fact impresses itself with great
emphasis, what the Psalmist has said
1T is appointed upon man once to die,
and that whether at sunrise, MONDAY
alton having fulfilled the object OF the
life has, by Divine Will, been accom-
plished.
For fourteen years the state board
of health met with no loss by death
of its personnel, and it is with CRATE
full acknowledgement that the pleas
Ing record is made that even of those
who separated themselves from the
active official duties of the board, by
resignation, they are yet numbered
among the boards most influential
and indefatigable workers z
In 1903 the first break came in the
chain of living associates, and since
then each year it has been a sad and
painful duty of the executive officer
to record the death of some valued as

A Beautiful Tribute.
Or. Andrade was a man who stood
both in his profession as well as in
his social life, prominently high in
the confidence of his feIlow-nnen and
in the respect of the community in
which he lived. Valued for his ahil-
ity in his chosen profession, honored
for his strict adherence to Christian
principle, and loved for the charming
attributes of modest disposition, the
characteristics of a pure life shone out
In peculiar brilliancy to those who
were happy in his confidence and
friendship.
A man young in years but rich in
mental accomplishments, whether OF
special attainments relating to his

al information, he was delightful |
