IN MEMORY OF Or. HOWE
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT PAID BY
HARVARD CLUB.
Resolutions Adopted Extolling His
Worth as Man and Citizen and
Deploring His Loss.

The members of the Harvard Club of
Washington at recent meeting adopted
resolutions in respect 10 the memory of
the late DR.. Franklin T.. Howe. 1t is re-
cited that there no long meets with us
one whose bright, social qualities had
rendered him a very pleasant companion
DR. Franklin r. Howe Of the class of
1868 We would place on record brief ex-
preston of our sense of loss in the death
of this prominent member of our club
and would pay a tribute of respect to his
memory.
1t was resolved by the club that
Franklin r. Howe, a charter member, as
he was one of the oldest, was one of the
most loyal of the sons of Harvard resi-
dent in Washington. OF happy DISPOSE
ton, he took a lively interest in the well
fare of this club, and for his constant eff
forts in its behalf we owe him a debt of
gratitude. DIR. Howe was specially eff
ficient in the service rendered, year
after year, upon the dinner committee.
Nor do we forget the admirable reports
of the Harvard dinner which appeared in
The Star from his pen. full of praise for
the institution at Cambridge.
That his kindly bearing won our es-
TEEN and affection. We recall his at
tractive presence as ever suggesting the
shirt of good Fellowship.
That we held Linn in high regard a
cultivated gentleman. who had showed
himself earnest and energetic in his pro-
fession-a man of sterling worth. who had
come to be very useful citizen of Wash
ington.
THAT we miss him indeed; and We
shall retain a memory of him man
who did his duty eXcellently we'll and
made many friends. We ask the privilege
of sending to his family this slight testi
monaI of our respect for the character OF
our departed brother and, of expressing
likewise our sincere sympathy with his
family in their season of affection.
That the secretary be directed to enter
these resolutions upon the records and
send a copy thereof 10 the family OF DR..
Howe.
