Picture OF the Late Hon. S. S.
Brown Presented to the City.

| The regular meeting Of the BOARD OF
!! Education was held Monday evening
| ard many important matters We're con-
| Sidered. The meeting was called at
| o'clock to allow the formal presenta-
| ton of the enlarged picture of the late
! Hon. S. s. Brown, which was present
scented to the city through the board
| by the family OF Mr.. Brown.
| Tho presentation speech was deliv-
cred by Hon. w. c. Philbrooll, who
| spoke as follows:
! Gentlemen of the Board OF Educa-
! ton: In behalf of the family of the
! late Hon. S. S. Brown I present to you
and through you TO the city OF Water
vile. Il portrait of Mr.. Brown. and
trust that it may always have a place
upon the walls of Your office.
Those OF us who enjoyed an init
mate acquaintance With him during
| his lifetime, well knew he disapproved
of fulsome eulogies and in speaking
| briefly OF him at this time no word
| should be said which would not meet
with his approved if he We're person

Before lie mad compllt ted his college
work it became apparent that his was
| n mind of more than ordinary bril-
liancy and power. He graduated with
| Phi Beta Kappa rank in 1883 and. at
ter a little more than years study OF
law, was admitted to the bar. For
nearly 50 years he was devoted to his
profession and the success which
crowned his efforts is recorded in the
many verdicts which he won and in
hi. 81 :nli Huccrs:i IN arguments pre-
| ,.'Itf', in ~" llW court.
Public demands upon his time and
ability were acknowledged, and at
various periods he served with credit
as member of the Governors council,
delegate to a national convention of
one OF the great political parties.
representative to the State Legislature,
and member of our city government.
[ His lively interest in the cause of
education and his sympathy for young
people naturally led him to devote
quite Il portion of his time and energy
to the advancement of the standard
and efficiency of the schools of Fair
field and Waterville, those being the
communities in which his adult life
was spent. Prior to the adoption of
| the city charter he served on our
board of experimenting school COM
mittee. When Waterville became a
city he was a member of the first
board Of education, serving as the
representative from ward one during
the years 1889 to 1891. Having moved
to ward four he was chosen from that
ward from 1897 to 1899. His later
years of service are too well remem-
bered to need mention at this time.
Thus it will be seen that his active in
| trest in the schools of Waterville ex-
tends over a longer period than that
of any other person. 1t is fitting,
| therefore, that his picture should be
given place in the office Of the board
Of education.
1t was my privilege to have enjoyed
| an intimate acquaintance with Mr..
Brown, having worked with him in our
mutual PROFESSION, as we'll as in cdu-
cational fields. and having spent with
| him many Of those. social hours in

DR.. J. F. Hill. chairman Of the
board, accepted the picture in the fol-
lowing words:
Some months ago it occurred to
members Of this board that likenesses
of former members. who had been
prominent in the work Of education in
this city, should decorate and enrich
the walls of these rooms. We soon
afterwards passed 4 vote that the
| family of the late Hon. s. S. Brown

of Mr.. Erown. and that the same be
presented to the board.
The members of his family have
acted upon the suggestion contained in
that vote and have now delivered into
our keeping THIS excellent likeness. All
that you have so eloquently said oFlMr.
Browns long and abiding interest in
our, school work is true. 1t can safely
be said that the excellence of our edu-
cational system may be attributed in
very large measure to him whose
memory is so freshly recalled to us
now. This picture will be a constant
reminder to us of Mr.. Brown the cit-
zen: but it will be even more a re-
minder to us of Mr. Brown the school
man. interested always in whatever
made for the general welfare of our
educational life.
