ORR
AT A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OF THE FIDELITY
AND CASUALTY COMPANY OF NEW
YORK. held June II, 1914. the follow.
ing memorial concerning the death OF
Mr.. Alexander f. orr was adopted
Again the Angel OF Death has descended
among US taking this time our assoc
ciate and good friend, Alexander Ector
Orr
II &c not oas,. m drau, a nictrra In words
of one who possessed such command
ing qualities as he had. His greatness
rested not alone upon the many clear
and rare traits Of mind and character
with which we are all familiar, put
also I'm large measure upon the very
unusual blending of those qualities.
While Mr.. Orr was austere and capa-
BILE of great severity. he was also
capable of great tenderness OF feeling
His sympathies were stirred readily
by the misfortunes of others. His
charities were unobtTusive as they
were extensive: He had high moral
courage, also incorruptihle integrity
Having an unusually keen mind, with
seemingly tireless mental and physical
energy, he was ever ready TO engage
in new work or TO assume additional
RESPONSIBILITIES. Great sagaclty and
/ unfailing fidelity to every trust were
among his notable attributes.
Mr.. Orr had great power, which ap-
/ peared rot alone in the large and I'M
I
nected. And he possessed the rare
/ faculty OF looking far into the future
TO see the unfolding developments mat
were to end In attained success. But,
/ unlike many who possess remarkable
/ powers OF perception, he also pos
sessed ability and determination to ac-
complish great works. For these un.
usual gifts the public and this Board
may we'll pay high tribute TO his menu
ory His connection with the con-
| struction of the subway system en-
titles him to a prominent place in the
history of this City. 1t was his earnest
advocacy of that enormous enterprise,
| So replete with engineering problems.
| that caused some TO call him a dream
er at its inception. In many ways Mr..
] Orr was active in promoting the well
fare of the public, and particularly
that of the city of his residence. NJ,
| merous instances might be recordeu
here, some conspicuous. others obscure,
/ in which his great talents were eXer-
csed for the benefit of mankind.
MIR. Orr had been a member or TINS
! board fOy more than twenty-seVen
years, and during that period had seen
| the Company pass through many vlcis-
with its struggles, its failures and its
| triumphs than our departed associate.
His time and his energies were given 70
its service cheerfully and unstintedly
| With deep feeling the members or TINS
Board now record their high apprecla- :
ton of Mr.. Orr's unusual qualities and
valuable services, also their profound
sorrow and sense of loss In his death;
He lived a long. a noble and useful
life, and in the fulness of years has
| passed away Let us keep ever fresh
the msnofy of this notable man.
