DR. ELIOT, FAMOUS
 PHILOSOPHER AND
 EDUCATOR, PASSES
(Continued from First Page)

and his ninetieth birthday was made the occasion of an especial demon- strauon of estee mby the institution whose alumni had presented him with S150,000 on his retirement. Chief Justice Taft was the principal speaker before a distinguished gath ering in Cambridge while the obser- ratton was general by Harvard clubs throughout the world.
 To the end he retained the char acteristic which appealed most to those with whom he came in con tact-his unfailiny courtesy. AL though usually intensely busy it was his rule to meet everyone who came to him on legitimate business, often giving a caller more time and at tention than he expected.
 pr. Eliot had been in delecate health since he came here early in the summer. His son. the Rev. Samuel A. Eliot of Cambridge, who also has his summe residence here, was present at the end. Mrs. Eliot died in 1924.
 Funeral Tuesday
 Funeral services will be held in the Union church here on Tuesday at noon, and in Appleton chapel at Harvard university. Cambridge, on Wednesday. Interment will be at Mt. Auburn cemetery, Cambridge.

high ideals.
 He attempted a few years axo an analysis of literature to pick the best few books, the reading of which would make a man cultured" The plan and the result again made him a storm center of criticism.
 At 77 Dr. Eliot took trip around the world to study" In Ceyiori. in December, 1911, he was operated on for appendicitis. but. notwith- standing his advanced age, he re- gained his full vigor. He was tall, dignified figure with well-poised head, grave face, with a glow in his cheeks. and preserved as though he had spent his year in the atmos- phere as fthe supreme court. President Roosevelt. who was once talked of as his possible successor at Harvard, once said: He Is the only man in the world l envy"
 He was a fellow of the American academy of arts and sciences, an of ticer of the Legion Of Honor. and a member of tho French institute, and was decorated by the emperor of Japan with the Order of the Risirs Sun.
 Dr. Eliot was first married in 1869 10 Ellen Derby Peabody. His sec- ond wife was Grace Mellen Hopkins, to whom he was married h 1871.

Religion of Future

In 1909, Dr. Eliot's pronounce ment on the religion of the futureH caused widespread discussion. "The fear Of hell" said pr. Eliot, has not proved effective to defer man from wrong doing. and heaven has never yet been described in terms very attractive to the average man or woman. Both are indeed. un- imaginable.
 'The modern man would hardly feel any appreciable loss of motive power toward good or away from evil if heaven were burnt or hell quenched. The prevailing Christian conceptions of heaven and hell have hardly any more influence with edu. cated people in these days than Olympus and Hades have. The mod ern mind craves an immediate mo- tive or leading. good for today on this earth"
 Controversy With Labor
 An earlier controversy which his remarks famed 10 a blaze, was that over the status of the 'scab." who was described by Dr. Eliot once as "a good type of American hero" The union leaders invited Dr. Eliot to present himself at a mass meet ing of labor men in Boston to sub init 10 heckling. which he did. to their surprise.
 His doctrine was individualism, and in his criticisms of organzed la bor he often said democracy must distrust the labor unions too frequent effort 10 restrict the ef- fciency and output of the individual workman" He likewise saw stumbling block for democracy fin capitalism. but was confident that both classes would someday fulfill

Brilliant Student

At 10 young Eliot entered Bos- ton Latin school where he demon- strated an early precocity by win ming the prized Franklin medal for scholarship. Five years later he was freshman at Harvard and a student in science. His interest in sports had earlier been shown by his jealous participation in games on the Boston Common. At Harvard he entered the crew and its victory in 1858 over all con- tenders on the Charles river was one of the proudest recollections of later years.
 The crew rowed for a money prize in those days and the future president was never reluctant in after years to concede that the cash which he had carried off in his pocket had made him a pro- fessional.
 Upon his graduation he was ap- pointed a tutor in mathematics and studied chemistry later devot- ing himself exclusively to the lat ter subject. After trip to Europe where he studied educational methods and pursued his work in chemistry he was made professor of analytical chemistry in the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology holding the chair from 1885 to 1869.
 A year before Dr. Thomas Hills had resigned as president of Har- yard and temporary successor held office while the college sought a permanent officer.
 Eliot had just declined to leave academic paths for lucrative com mercial posts and when his name

Philosophical Society, the Aiassa- chusetts Historical Society, honorary president of the National Conserva- ton Association and member of the General Education Board. the Rockefeller Foundation and the h. ternational Health Board. Some of his newer books included The Happy Life" The Durable Satis- factions of Life" The Road To- ward Peace" and John Gilley."
 Chosen to the presidency at Harv- ard in his thirty-fifth year, he was the youngest college president in the country. He had, when he resigned In his seventy-fifth year, held the office longer than the combined terms of his five Hill, Felton, Walker, Sparks and Everett.
 He was the son of Samuel A. Eliot ot Cambridge, Mass. who was treas urer Of Harvard. He was born in Boston, March 20, 1884, and gradu- ated from Harvard in 1858. In col lege he stood among the first in his class, and was an oarsman in the varsity crew in the days when col lege crews rowed in heavy cedar barges beautifully fitted up with cushions. His predilection was for chemistry and mathematics and he was so successful in the former that at the age of 24 he became a pro- lessor of chemistry at Harvard. in preference to accepting a S5.oo0 a yearas chemist for a manufacturing concern in Lowell. He was rapidly advanced until the overseers offered him the highest chair in the insti- tuition.
 AS president. young Eliot set afoot so many reforms that Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes exclaimed: He is

death, a worldwide reputation as a grand old man of their profession. but his prominence extended so far beyond educational circles that he was often spoken of here and abroad as Americas first citizen. !" He was identified with practically every economic or social question brought forward in the past 30 years writing and speaking so fearlessly that he was the center of as many storms of controversy and violent personal attacks as though he held public office.
 During the war, Dr. Eliot wrote numerous articles and made many addresses in behalf of the Allies. He maintained that the hope of the world lies in complete cooperation between the British Empire and the United States of America, the two great sections of the English-speak- ing people" Six months after Ger many invaded Belgium in an article entitled Roads to Peace" he de- plored the failure of what he termed institutional Christianity" to avert the conflict.
 Defended League of Nations Despite his more than S7 years, in a speech in Boston on Oct. 19. 1920, during the presidentian cam- paign, he vigorously defended the League of Nations against the criti- cisms of 31 eminent republicans. In addition to being president emeritus of Harvard. Dr. Eliot until 1917 was a corresponding member of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences of the Institute of France, the British Academy, fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a member of the American

was proposed to the Harvard cor poration he was unanimously elected but it was not until the ob- jections of the board of overseers to the youth of the new president had been overcome that that body confirmed the appointment.
 Made Many Changes
 Sweeping changes in the adminis- tration of the university followed almost at once. They included the great development in the elective system which has since been adopt ed extensively by other colleges, the abolition of eight different examina- tion boards and the substitution of a single one for all classes of stu dents, requiring the same number Of points tor admission to the sci- entific school as for the A. B. degree, but without Latin or Greek; recog- niton of the certificate system of college entrance examination board and the oblition of the exclusive Harvard examination board.
 Prior 10 that time Harvard had attempted to limit the freedom of the individual and of the secondary schools in presentation Of candidates for admission.
 He reorganized the medical and divinity schools, substituted lecture courses for recitation methods and the written test for the oral. abol- ished compulsory chapel attendance. rejuvsnated the law school and did so many other things that Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote in 1871 Our new president has turned the whole university over like a flapjack."

 Saw Reforms Adopted Forty years later when he resign. cd his post at his own insistance
 he saw many of the reforms which ! he had introduced adopted through l out the country. and found himself so well established in the esteem Of his countrymen that when Pres ident Taft offered him the post Of ambassador 10 the Court of St. James, in March. 1909. the press of the country was unanimous in ap- plauding the choice as that of a most representative American citi- zen. But Dr. Eliot declined. saying that he preferred 10 spend the eve ming of his life in a serenity that on- ly freedom from responsibility could give.
 The educational reforms which he fathered included the lecture courses as substitutes for recitations. and the written test as substitute for oral examinations; the elective system, whereby students now in practically all of the universities in the country and many of the high schools have a certain latitude in their choice Of studies; the abolition of compulsory religious worship; and the institution of three year course for bachelor degrees of arts and sciences.
 
 It was due largely to Dr. Eliot's strictures on football as a demoraliz- sport that the open play reforms were carried out a few years ago.
 His influence was felt outside uni versity life by his numerous public and writings.

Heavy Snowfall Is Good
 Thing for Bee Keepers

WostWood. Mass, Feb. S-Last weeks heavy snow storm in New England threw a heavy burden on railroads, highway departm ents, and city and town trcasuries, but 1t was money in the pocket of the bee keeper. Charles x. Ellis of this town, bee inspector is authority for the statement.
 The busy bee works all summer
 laying up stores and spends the winter consuming the surplus. con- verting the honey into heat energy. But the New England winter winds find their way into the hive and sap the bees vitality, Mr. Ellis said.
 The average winter mortality among New England bees from this cause is from 15 to 20 per cent. Since the great storm. deep snow blanket has covered the hives. shut ting off the wind. and tho bees are snug and healthy.
