his duties as lawyer, judge, ex-
ecutive and diplomat-with great
ability, strict fidelity to the trust
imposed and in such manner as
to win, for him universal respect
and high honor.
Upon retiring from public life
and resuming his residence in st.
Johnsbury in 1914, he expressed
his continuing interest in the .Acad-
>emy by accepting, despite his real
lied need of freedom from new
duties and responsibilities, an cleo
ton in 1915 to its board of trus-
tees and in 1918 to the office .of
president of the board. During
this last period of his officia | re-
lation to the Academy it quickly
became his chief public interest
and his constructive labors for it,
as evidenced by its records and his
correspondence when away from
home, were constant and have con-
tributed largely to it's present pros
perity and to promote its. perma-
nent welfare.
In memory Of Henry Clay Ide
as AN able administrator, great
teacher and faithful trustee of the
Academy and in grateful recogni-
ton of all that his services have
added to it's fabric, high character
and enduring purpose, this tribute
is inscribed upon its records.
RESOLVED that the Trustees
who individually mourn his loss not
only as that of "a wise colleague
but also as highly esteemed
friend, hereby extend to the family
of President Ide their sincere SWIM
pathy in their great bereavement
and that the Secretary send to
them a copy of,these resolutions.
