‘6o—The Dial of January 1 has the
following in regard to the late Edward
Gay Mason; “In the death of Edward
Gay Mason, on the eighteenth of De--
cember, the Dial lost a valued contribu-
tor, and Chicago, one of its most dis-
tinguished citizens. 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.
'72—Prof. Theodore S. Woolsey has
an article opposing the ratification of
the Spanish peace treaty in a recent
