Men of his type are not common in any community, and are rare indeed in such a place as Chicago, where the hitherto all-impor- tant spirit of commercialism is but just beginning to recognize the claims of other than business interests upon the lifeof man. It was in this city that Mr Mason, a native of Connecticut, lived for nearly forty of the best years of the fity-nine allotted him. And it is this city alone that realizes’ to the full the loss that comes from his untimely tak- ing-off. The outside world heard of him from time to time as an eminent lawyer, as a member of the governing body of Yale University, and as a spe- cialist in American history. Chicago knew him continuously and intimately, as the active friend of all worthy enter- prises, as an intellectual force in the so- ciety of which he was a part, as a good citizen in the highest sense of the term. As a leader of- the Chicago: bar, as a controlling spirit in the higher club life of the city, as a brilliant public speaker upon occasions both formal and informal, his memory will fade as those who knew him in these activities pass from the stage. But one monu- ment, at least, remains to keep his memory green—and that is the impres- sive building of the Chicago Historical Society, which, with its rich collection oi books and manuscripts, of portraits and autographs, relating to the early Northwest, is a memorial of his zeal as a collector, his enthusiasm as a stu- dent, and his power to enlist the aid of his fellows in giving permanent embodi- ment to a fine conception. He was by no means the only man deserving of remembrance in this connection, but for a score of years past his was the lead- ing spirit in the common endeavor of the members of the Society to bring to- gether for future historians the mass of material now contained within the fine structure in Dearborn Avenue. Since the Society had, upon two occasions in its earlier days, lost all of its collec- tions by fire, he was determined to make a third disaster of the sort impossible, and it was due to his insistence upon this point that the permanent home of the organization is a building into whose construction nothing combustible enters, a building fireproof in the literal sense of the word.
