presidency of Northwestern University. He had spent eleven years of his life in the pastorate, several terms in public school work, six years in secondary education, and twenty-four years in college administration and instruction. Here for nine laborious years he toiled unremittingly, though at times burdened with ill health. In 1887, on the celebration of his seventieth birthday, his friends provided for the expense of several months' vacation, which he spent with Mrs. Cummings in European travel. During the following three years, a feeble action of the heart threatened his life, and he often expressed himself as feeling uncertain when he went to his office whether he would live to return to his home. He continued his daily recitations until only ten days before his death, when he consented to remain at home and to leave his classes to others. In his last illness he said: "You see how good I am now that I cannot help myself."

On the morning of May 7th, 1890, he rested from his labors. At his funeral in the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Evanston on May 9th, the pastor of the church, Dr. Sylvester F. Jones, spoke of him as an ideal college president. Dr. Bennett of the Garrett Biblical Institute, spoke of his fidelity, his integrity, his unselfishness, and of his greatness as an educator. Dr. Ridgeway, of the Institute, led the congregation in prayer, and the benediction was pronounced by the venerable Dr. Raymond. On June 17th following, a memorial service was held in the church at which addresses were made by one of his Wesleyan

University pupils, Dr. James M. King, and by one of his Northwestern pupils, Rev. R. I. Fleming. A granite monument in Rose Hill Cemetery marks the place of his burial. It bears this inscription:
