Professor Horace Cummings
He was not only an ardent, efficient
and successful worker in the schools,
but In a religious way, as the presi'
dent of our mission has testified to
in our hearing. He realized that he
was going to go, but faced 1t willful-

resignation, l might almost say Joy.
Thus 1t will be with all who have liv-
ed life as he had, which course has
been that which all good people must
approve, which course has been one
Of usefulness, one of service to his
fellowmen and service to his Maker
and this entities him to enter into

Dear Sir: The death of Prof. Will

all very forcibly the strength and
wonderful influence of the man.
Prof. Langton was endowed spirit.

and you all realized how deeply he
telt the significance of Cooper Union
and how deeply he responded to the
spirit of the founder. In my whole
connection with the Union have
known no one better fitted than he
to interpret this spirit.
In his many conferences with me
and they were conferences 1 valued
greatly-the thing he liked to talk
about, and the direction in which his
influence was always thrown, was
greater closeness of relation between
student and teacher, and towards the
development of the spirit of coopera-
ton, of service and of fellowship be-
tween these two.
No request from students for help
no demand upon his time-was so
trivial but what he responded with
all that he could give. His time out.

1t is by these things that we shall
best remember him.
He was simple, manly, faithful
servant Of the Lord II there ever was

instinct Of the man.
And now that he is gone we can
only say Hail and Farewell, and yet

Solemn Thought"
The following resolutions Of condo
lence were read by Dean Brimhall
and adopted:
WHEREAS: God In His infinite
wisdom has seen it to call our friend
and brother Willard s. Langton to
another field Of labor, depriving us
for a time Of his companionship.
RESOLVED: That we tender our
deep sympathy and coincidence to
his loved ones In this their hour OF
sorrow. We appreciate in part their
great loss, for his life SO rich in ser
vice to his fellowmen reached Out
and touched us all.
Eminently able as a teacher he
fed thousands hungering for knowl
edge; courageous and valiant for jus
tice and Righteousness he was always
at the front defending his people and
his faith. A true Latterday Saint
in word and deed he was a guide ant

for justice and righteousness We are
more consoled with the fact that hi

COAST GUARD VESSELS
HAVING EASY WINTER
War in Europe Helps Reduce Num-
Der of Ships Which Need
Assistance.

The European war will be largely
responsible for the falling off that is
expected to take place in the number
and value of vessels in distress aided
by the cutters of the coast guard
service during the present winter
cruising season. The war in Europe
has reduced the number of vessels
moving along the coast by more than
half, and with fewer vessels to call
upon them for aid the cutters are
having much less work to do.
This, combined with the fact that
there have been few heavy storms on
the coast in the past two months, is
giving the cutters employed in winter
cruising service. the easiest time they
have had in winter for several years
past.
But two reports of assistance rem
dered have been received at the head
quarters of the service, Treasury De-
partment, in the past week. The COM
manding officer of the cutter Pamlico,
cruising on the North Carolina sounds,
tells of the saving of a large power
den Point, n. G., on which she had
stranded and filled with water. The
vessel and it's cargo were valued at
nearly $4,000.
Fishing Boat Is Rescued.
A nShlnS bOdt, the lrVln, IN distress
on the Maine coast, was the subject
of the other assistance report made
by the commanding officer of the cut
ter Woodbury.. which took the craft to
Portland.
Finding that the cutter Seminole was
too light to tow the overturned schoon-
er Ruth +. Swain, with anchor down,
and having no means of breaking loose
from the anchor holding it. the Semi
mole gave up the task and returned to
her station off the North Carolina
enty-five miles southeast of Cape
Henry, and the cutter Itasca has gone
to it and will endeavor to bring it
into port.
New Lifeboats Ordered.
For the equipment of several coast
guard stations that are without modern
lifeboats, the officials of the service
have recently placed an order with
struction of eight modern lifeboats for
work in the surf. The new craft are
each to be thirty-six feet long, and will
be self-righting, self-bailing craft that
cannot be sunk.

in-chief of the coast guard service, is

THE SEATS OF the MIGHTY" "
Greenwood Theatre, Friday, Jan. Sth.

"Ihc Seats of The Mighty" photo play master
piece will be presented at the Greenwood Theatre
Friday evening January Sth This splendid dramati-
zation of Sir Gilbert Parkers book of the same name
is the first production Of the Colonial Motion Picture
Corporation and cost the company over S3O, ,0OO
This magnificent picture play was first exhibited
at the Casino Theatre in New York City on November
29th 1914 and has been the feature since in nearly all
of the leading cities Of the United States The daily
papers and the moving picture journals have given
glowing favorable comments on 1.-The Seats of The
Mighty" and large crowds have witnessed the presen-
aon Of this great photo picture play at every place it
has been exhibited.
Charles K. Condor, in a recent issue of Motography
reviews this play al length and the following excerpt
is reproduced:
"'The Seats of The Mighty contains all of the
elements necessary for a classic photoplay. Power.
fully presented, it offers stirring romance, social
tragedy, the mental conflict between individuals and
the mighty bodily conflict between the English and
French forces the Plains of Abraham the capture of
historic Quebec by General Wolfe, and a number of
small, but VITAL scenes ConVlnCngly staged. All OF
these combine to make one big, forcible drama that
fairly teens with colonial atmosphere and tense over
DOWerIng situations.
"rhc technique Of the interior settings represents
the highest in the motion picture art The rooms OF
the kings and governors mansions are eXQusteV fur
their detail The country in and about New York did
wonderfully well in supplying outdoor locations,
Anachronsms have been successfully avoided. The
old colonial mansion in the picture would never be
taken for anything else, and the scene showing the
British troops stealing upon and storming the heights
of Quebec imparts all of the excitement and enthusiasm
that could we'll be melted without the accompaniment
Of the sholts, sounds Of firing, and roll Of drums that
were a part of the original attack.
Much of the credit of the plays success is due to
the excellent work Of the cast which is comprised of
Lionel Barrymore as Monsieur Dotaire; Glen White as
Captain Robert Moray; A. P. Jackson as Monsieur
Duvarney Clinton Preston and Millicent Evans as his
son and daughter Juste and Aixe and Lois Meredith
as Mathilde. In addition to these there are fully a
dozen people who take important but small parts, and
an unusually large cast of extras. One scene Of not
more than few minutes duration contains between
four and five hundred people,"
Two of Greenwood's citizens are stockholders in
the Colonial Moving Picture Corporation, the producers
of The Seats of The Mighty and they nat rally
elaed over the splendid reception given their Com
panys first production in all Of the great cities Of the
United States.
