OF the prime movers in forming this asso-
citation In washington, two in particular are
given much credit by Mr.. Smith for working
out the details incidental to its establishment
Messrs Langdon and Rhees. OF the former
the writer knows little. but the latter he knew
personally for many years and came in contact
with him almost daily from 1884 until his
death.
He was for many years a member Of the
board OF trustees of our public schools and the
chief clerk of the Smithsonian Institution
He was the writer's cherished friend and he
has his own words for it, for in November 1901,
in presenting q copy Of his Documentary His
tory OF the Smithsonian Institution" he penned
on the fyleaf: Mr.. John c. Proctor from his
friend, William J. Rhees"
Inceed, his friendship unbounding: he
was the friend to every man A tomb in Rock
Creek Cemetery tells US that his mortal body
lies within the grave beneath. But what ne
did here will not peTish-he was the ideal citi-
zen and well might the Young Mems Chris
tian Association feel proud that he was one OF
its founders and for many years one of its
chief supporters.
The association has grown to big proper
lions, and today has local membership of
$50. including all branches. 1t is interna-
t1onal in its scope, and throughout the world
includes total membership of 2237 e68
