Uplift of Institution Which Has Been

Der Of Many PhilanthropicaI Boards
and Recipient Of Many Honors.


Der of Many Philanthropieai Boards
and Recipient Of Many Honors.
BY the death at his summer home,
Whitefeld, N. H., of the Rev. DR.. Hol-
lis Burke Frissell on Sunday evening,
Aug. 8, the colored race and the nation
at large have lost one Of their very
best friends and valuable citizens. DR..
Frissell had been president Of the
Hampton Va.) Normal and Agricul-
tural institute for nearly quarter Of
a century. He was greatly beloved by
the faculty and students at Hampton
and long list Of educators and busi-
ness men and women throughout the
nation.
DR.. Frissell was born in Armenia,
N. Y, on July IA, 1851. the son Of A.
C. and L. B. Frissell. He spent three
years at Phillips academy, Andover,
Mass, going from there to Yale, where
he was graduated with the class of
1874. After graduation he taught for
two years in a young woman's seminary
at Rhinebeck, N. Y, which place he left
to: enter Union Theelogicai seminary
He was graduated from the latter in
stitution in 1879, and became assistant
pastor of the Madison Avenue Presby-
terian church, New York city, where
he remained until 1880, at which time
he became chaplain Of Hampton insti-
tute, Hampton, Va. 1t was in 1893 that
he became principal, and In this impOr-
tant office he devoted all of his time
and energy to the upbuilding of the
school and the problem Of the cduca-
ton and betterment of the Negro race.
Any account of DR.. Frissell's life IS
necessarily also an account OF the
growth and development Of Hampton
institute, for which he ceaselessly
worked to raise funds and for the Or
ganizatiOn and welfare Of which he
constantly strove. Under his guidance
it became not only the leader and pio-
neer in the industrial education Of the
American Negro and it's center Of up
lift, but also forum where southern
and northern white men and Negroes
meet on common ground to discuss
problems of education. agriculture and
sanitation in the south. 1t has sent out
over 1000 Negro teachers. farmers.
tradesmen and home builders to south
ern states. and It has been instrumental
in decreasing the illiteracy Of the race
from almost 100 per cent to the pres
ent figure Of 27.5 per cent.
In 1893 DIR. Frissell received the de-
gree Of d. D. from Howard university.
in 1900 the degree Of 8. T. D. from
Harvard. in 1901 the degree Of LII. ID.
from Yale and in 1900 that Of II. D.
from Richmond college. He was q
member Of the Century, City and Yale
clubs Of New York, Of the Society OF
Scroll and Key Of Yale and Of the
Cosmos club of Washington.
He is survived by his wife and one
son, Sydney Dodd Frissell, who until
he recently joined the army had been
connected with Hampton institute and
who has done much toward the prac-
tical education of the Negro along the
line Of scientific farming.
