TIMELY TOPICS OF

I seventies to Miss Kettle Hemphill, a
 sister of MT. R. c. Hemphill of this | city.
 Among the classmates of pr. Meek i at the university in 1854 were Col. Hilary A. Herbert, who afterward be- 1 came secretary of the navy in the Cleveland cabinet, Dr. Thomas J. Baird of Birmingham, the well known Epis copal rector, was a classmate of Dr.. Meek as was Maj. Joseph Hardie, also of Birmingh am.
 In commenting upon pr. Meek's long service to the university the Tusca- loosa Gazette says, editorially: Mir R. C. Hemphill of Birmingham has pre- sented to the University of Alabama a splendid oil portrait of her distin guished husband. pr. Benjamin F. Meek who held the chair of English litera- ture in that institution from 1871 until his death in 1899. The portrait IS from the brush of the well known ar tist Menzel. and besides being an ex- cellent likeness of the great teacher and scholar. it Is a real work of art It will be placed in the university library; and the former students of pr. Meek, who come to the approaching commencement will find sad pleasure in looking upon his well remembered and life-like features.
 The great work of Dr. Meek during his long term of service at the univer- sity forms an important chapter in the history of Alabama, and it needs no repetition here. The achievements in various fields of literary effort of hun dreds of men whom he trained to the use of the English tongue, both h writing and in public speaking, bear testimony to the excellence of that work. Not only throughout the length and breadth of Alabama, but through the whole southwest, are today to be found men. now in the prime of life, filing places of honor and distinction in the pulpit, at the bar in editorial rooms, in professional chairs, and In legislative halls, who gladly acknowl- edge that whatever measure of success they have attained has been due in no small part to his guidance in the form ative period of their lives. Although dead, his influence still lives in the work of those whom he taught at the University of Alabama.
