JULES LUQUIENS.
[Continued from 7th page.]|
appeared before New Haven audiences
who showed cleaner knowledge of the
grace and force of our English idiom
than he. So pure was his idiom that
his pronunciation of English, which em-
barrassed him at times as he often con-
fessed, was never remembered against
him. His style flowed easily over tran-
sitions with frequent admixture of the
salt of unlooked-for similes and exam-
ples. All his imagery was peculiarly
luminous—this was perhaps his most
original vein. Back of his words was
an abundance of ideas. These ideas
were the product of independent read-
ing at first hand. Many teachers of
French Literature are able to refer to
a larger bibliography of French criti-
cism than, at least, was his wont; few,
however, can mine out more successfully
the nugget in this or that piece of litera-
ture. He was eminently fitted to explain
a literature, for he possessed the mental
rectitude which demands of an author
his right to be famous and the intel-
lectual and aesthetic perception to dis-
cover such reason. Then he could pass
from the individual to the group and
put a backbone down a literary period.
rie possessed sobriety in literary esti-
mates. His students, after leaving him,
knew that his strongest sympathies were
on the side of the idealism of the classic-
ists, yet he was able to lead: them on to
enthusiastic appreciation of the feeling
and dash of of the Lamaitines and
Hugos. He was sincerely sympathetic
with the best French standpoints, and
well fitted by temperament to interpret
French literature. A certain phlegm of
temperament held him conservatively at-
tached to the greatest age of French
letters, the Seventeenth Century, and a
peculiar endowment of Gallic wit and
taste let him into the secrets of the
French drama of all periods. From a
literary point of view he did not re-
egret the French rejection of the Re-
formation movement, fearing lest, had
it come to stay in France, it might
have disturbed the airiness and sense of
light which characterize the whole of
French letters. He loved play of fancy,
but could be severe enough upon lack
of substance, as he was upon the analyt-
ical novels of our dav, where, as he
used to say, authors, after applying their
dissecting knives through many pages,
in the end find no soul. Most appre-
ciative he was of mirth, and knew well
how to separate the merriment of “the
child who strikes his drum,” as he once
said, from mere artificial tom-toms.
His students drew inspiration from the
constant freshness and vigor of his criti- .
cal powers. They will count it a loss
that none of his lectures are in print.
Though their class-room notes may keep
a skeleton of his thoughts and perhaps
some flavor of his manner of expres-
sion, at best they can do but meager jus-
tice to the originality of his ideas and
language. It is not too late still to hope
that his lecture of last Winter on Moliére
in the Comedy Course may be published ;
the same, too, with regard to his Cher-
buliez lecture written in French, and his
paper before the Modern Language Club
last year with some such title as: The
Balance-sheet of the Nineteenth Cen-
tury. There are other lectures, no
doubt, in more or less formal shape, ~
perhaps some of his work upon Voltaire,
of whom he had made special study.
Prof. Luquiens was a modest man, even
timid. He doubted the worth of some
of his best ideas and honored them with
pen and ink only under urgency. His
lectures to his classes were delivered al-
most always without notes of any kind.
If in executive matters any were ever
disposed to criticize him for lack of de-
cision or procrastination, explanation
can be found in his native modesty.
Socially Prof. Luquiens was a good
fellow. On first acquaintance and in
certain moods he was somewhat austere
in manner. In careless mood his smile
was genial and his eyes bespoke hearty
companionship.- Of the many letters of
sympathy sent his family after his death,
one of the tenderest expressions of per-
sonal loss came from the assembled
guests of the Summer hotel at Water-
ville, N. H., where he had spent a half
dozen Summers, and where he was
known apart from his vocation, as man
and companion. In conversation he was
always a most careful, even reverent,
listener and in reply gave as richly as
he had_ received courteously. For
several years past he had been obliged
to carry on a constant fight with rheu-
matism; many a day only a strong will
-kept him before his classes, yet the
writer can recall no word of bitter pro-
test or complaint. |
Prof. Luquiens’ memory ts destined to
be held in high esteem in the history
of Yale. As a man he made friends
who will miss association with him; as
a teacher he leaves students behind who
will point enthusiastically to his intel-
lectual fineness and to his educating in-
fluence in their lives.

Gifts to Vale.
By the will of Dr. Charles J. Stille,
°39, Yale University is made one of. the
three beneficiaries of his estate. The
estate, which is valued at about $150,000,
is held in trust for his wife during her
life, and then is divided into three parts,
the beneficiaries being Yale University,
the Gloria Dei Church of Philadelphia,
and the Historical Society of Pennsyl-
vania. The amount which will come to
Yale is estimated at about $50,090. It
is requested by Dr. Stille in his will
that this shall be held by the University
as a permanent fund and that the in-
come shall be perpetually and exclu-
sively devoted to defray the expenses
of undergraduates in History and Politi-
cal Science. Dr. Stille, making this be-
quest, uses this language; “I make this
bequest in grateful recognition of what
I have owed through life to my educa-
tion at Yale College.”
Another gift to Yale which has been
announced this Summer has been a be-
quest of $5,000 contained in the will of
the late George W. Mallory of Fair Ha-
ven. His property is held in trust for
his wife during her life, and at her death
this sum is given to the Divinity School.
