EFFINGHAM LAWRENCE, EX~78 S.
Effingham Lawrence, ex-’78S., died
November 26, at the old homestead of
the Lawrence family at Bayside, L. I.
Mr. Lawrence was born June 9, 1856,
on Magnolia Plantation, La. The death
of his father made it necessary for him
to leave Yale before his course was
completed, to take charge of the planta-
tion in Louisiana. Some years ago Mr.
Lawrence disposed ‘of the property and
came North, settling at Bayside. He
was married in 1877 to Miss Janet Camp-
bell Mickle, daughter of Hon. Andrew
H. Mickle, ex-Mayor of New York
City. Mrs. Lawrence and one _ son,
Effingham, Jr., survive him.
PROF. GEORGE R. MATHEWS, ’87 T.S.
Professor George R. Mathews, ’87
T.S., died at Pasadena, Cal., Decem-
ber 17, 1899. He had been in poor
health for a long time.
Professor Mathews was a graduate
of the Western Reserve University in
the Class of Eighty-Four. After grad-
uating from the Yale Divinity School,
he took special courses at Harvard and
Leipzig. For the last four years he has
been_ professor: of Ancient Languages
and Philosophy in Utah University, Salt
Lake City.
REV. T. ARTHUR FREY, ’QI T.S.
Rev. T. Arthur Frey, ’91 T.S., died
recently from consumption, in Denver,
Col., where he had gone two years ago
on account of lung trouble. Before go-
ing to the West he held pastorates over
the Pavilion and Second churches in
Biddeford, Me.
THE LATE WILLIAM W. MURSICK, ’9QS.
The death of William Washburn Mur-
sick, 99 S., in Steubenville, O., Dec. 31,
which was recently recorded in the
ALUMNI WEEKLY, was from typhoid
fever brought on by overwork. Mr.
Mursick was a son of the late George
A. Mursick, a physician of Nyack, N.
Y., and prepared for Yale at the High
School in Nyack and at the Hopkins
Grammar School in New Haven, grad-

uating from the latter with honors. In
the Sheffield Scientific School he took a
high stand in all his studies, receiving
two years honors. Immediately after
graduation, Mr. Mursick took a position
as assaying chemist in the Aetna Stand-
ard Rolling Mills in Steubenville, where
he was working at the time of his fatal
sickness.
THE ST. LOUIS MEETING.
(Continued from 163d page.)
“We propose, as one of the first works
of reform during the present year, to
build a good new fence, more commo-
dious than the present one, of good
square posts, with three rails, in place
of the one that all of us know. And
there is this additional advantage also,
in putting in these quadrangles, that
the corners of the grounds in the direc-
tion in which we shall develop are oc-
cupied by the College societies.”
THE BUILDINGS.
Building at the present day is ex-
pensive. We are building for the ages
and we must build of Stone, plainly;
without architectural pretensions or
superfluous ornaments; solidly, without
sham, and with a view to the future.
It is estimated that this Auditorium and
the Memorial Vestibule together will
cost $450,000. The Dining Hall will
cost $300,000 additional. These are
large figures. The improvement of the
grounds and the buildings together
mean an outlay of more than a million
of dollars.”
RAISING THE MONEY.
“This is a friendly visit for the inter-
change of opinion, and it is most unwise
to mix too much business with pleas-
ure. I can only say that the work of
raising the money necessary for this
purpose rests not only on your gener-
esity, but upon vour knowledge as to
where appeals should be made,—not in
the ranks of Yale graduates alone (for
a majority of these, by’ an inscrutable
decree of Providence, are not million-
aires), but to the thoughtful, to the
thousands that appreciate the meaning
and importance of a university which
is at once national, democratic and
Christian. There is an interest felt by
those second only to that which is felt
by the graduates themselves.”
“Men and women who have an in-
direct connection of sympathy and in-
terest with Yale University, are ready,
if properly approached, to contribute,
and to contribute liberally, and to see,
in the erection of these buildings, an
opportunity of commemoration, perhaps
for themselves, or perhaps for their
friends; at any rate, for their love
for what Yale represents in American
life. And it is for you to think who
these persons are, and by your spirit
and your bearing to show them what is
their opportunity.”
THE IDEAL IN ATHLETICS REALIZED.
“But I have dwelt almost too long
on the external or material side, for all
of these things are but the outside mat-
ter. With regard to the Yale spirit at
the present time, I can say from my
heart that it is a thing of inspiration.
Never has it been more fully manifest
in students, in the Faculty, in the ad-
ministration and in the graduates.
“The work of the athletic season, dur-
ing the past six months, has not been
anything to boast of outside (laughter) ;
it has been a thing on_ which inside
among ourselves we may congratulate
ourselves for. Beginning in the Autumn
with discouraging prospects, Capt. Mc-
Bride and his men have worked faith-
fully and the College has supported them.
Never has so large a number of men
been in training, not only for the Uni-
versity, but far the various Fall teams
playing with one another. Never has
the ideal collegiate sport, as the out-
come and fruition of play at home, been
so fully realized. Never has a college
been more loyal to its teams in adver-
sity. Never has a team physically
weaker more distinguished itself than
in tieing Harvard, and never has heart-
breaking defeat like that inflicted by
Princeton, been endured with more
silent dignity. —
WHY ROME COUQUERED.
“Do you know why Rome conquered
the world? Was it because they
YALE ALUMNI
WEEKLY
cheered their generals when they were
successful? No! Carthage did that. It
was because Rome had it in her to
stand by her men in defeat as well as in
victory. It was because the Romans
had learned, as no other nation has
since, to shout “Gloria victis!” which
enabled them to conquer the world.
That is a secret we should learn, and
when we are able to shout, “Gloria
victis!”’ all the rest is mere incident,
and let this be a heroic memorial of our
last season of athletics and let us enjoy
the prospect with it gives for the
future.”
MUSIC, FORESTRY AND BOTANY.
“In the matter of the reform of in-
struction, things have been going for-
ward slowly in the past. One cannot
change everything in a day. The
growth of two centuries will require at
least two years before a wise modifica-
tion can be made. It is important to
say first that new departments of in-
struction will be added to the University
life. Our Department of Music has
achieved already a national reputation
second to nothing in the University.
We purpose next to add a department
of forestry, and while the endowment is
not complete as yet, I believe, in the
course of the next few weeks we shall
have the means to fully equip this de-
partment with an endowment which is
going to be of great importance in the
future. For the present we are going
to use for this department the building
bequeathed by Professor Marsh, for a
botanical garden. We have not yet the
endowment for a botanical garden, much
less have we found a man to take charge
of it. We have the house when we
shall get the other arrangements made.
The suit which was begun to prevent
the consummation of this idea has been
withdrawn.”
