FOSTER & CO. PRINTERS BOSTON. MASS. This calendar is dedicated to our ALMA MATER with grateful appreciation of the high ideals, rich achievements and stimulating sympathy of all the leaders in all departments of our University. BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR FOREWORD J HE first Boston University Calendar may be left to speak for itself T\\ without any words of introduction. We hope that it will call \\ out the same loyal response from its readers that it has done from its contributors. In behalf of Boston University Women Graduates' Club I wish to thank the President and the other busy educators from our own University and other educational centers, who have given us their valuable help. We would especially include in this word of thanks the friend who selected so many quotations from Professor Bowne's writings. Also allow me personally to thank the Committee of the Whole who have so cordially co-operated with me in the preparation of this Calendar. The original plan to limit each contribution to fifty words or less was necessarily abandoned because of the unavoidable loss of much valuable material. The reader can readily understand that this change in our plans compelled us to sacrifice many birthdays on account of the brevity or length of the contributed thoughts. We greatly regret that an overabundance of splendid material reached us too late for insertion in the calendar. We decided to attach the degrees to the name of each contributor, because in this way we could specify to the reader the workers in the different depart- ments of our University, also the niches in life that our graduates and special students are so ably filling. It will be noticed that some of the thoughts have no signatures. The con- tributors will not be so modest, I am sure, if another similar invitation is extended to them. We wish to assure you that although many are the builders of this calendar, they are one in their love and devotion to our University. If, in spite of earnest effort, errors have crept in, we crave your indulgence. •¥■ Indicates birthday of contributor and has been credited as nearly as possible to the first contribution received for that day.

BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR '' \\\7T is my happy privilege on behalf of the Boston I University Women's Graduate Club to speak this word in appreciation of the generous encourage- ment and help they have received in the preparation of this Calendar.

We admire him and honor him as we should, but deepest down in our hearts we love him. He is pure courtesy, a man not made great by gentleness, but making gentleness great.

Strong, wise, just and generous, he is the very sign and symbol of service, with unacquainted hands that not only do in secret, but that do it to the least of us his brethren. And the least of us and the greatest love him. Dallas Lore Sharp. BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR T REV. LEWIS BATES "Grandfather Bates" ;HE following incident regarding Rev. Lewis Bates was related by his son, Rev. Lewis Benton Bates, D.D. After preaching one night at a little schoolhouse, he gave a closing invitation for those who would give their hearts to the Lord to stand. There was a moment's silence and then a little fisher-lad arose. I think the old preacher must have had in mind another little fisher-lad of old, as he laid his hands upon his head and said: "God bless you, my boy. May He feed you with the bread of life that some day you may feed many. May He so fill your heart with Heavenly wisdom that some day you may be the means of dispensing wisdom to hundreds." The little fisher-lad went out into the darkness, but he was another boy from what he was when he had entered the schoolhouse meeting. The Lord had spoken to him, and a great thing had happened in his heart. As he had entered the room, he was only an ordinary little fisher-pedler, one of hundreds of village boys; as he went out, the Lord had placed the beginnings of such wondrous things in his heart that that little lad one day became the man who made a fortune, and with that fortune founded a great university, where "wisdom is still dispensed to hundreds." The Httle boy's name was Isaac Rich, and Boston University today calls him "Father." From "My Wonder Book." Mrs. Emma Bates Harvey. Rev. Lewis Bates was the grandfather of Ex-Gov. John Lewis Bates, and Mrs. Emma Bates Harvey. 10 BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR ROSWELL R. ROBINSON R. Righteously Rich R. Richly Righteous R. Royally Reticent [SKED some years since for a tribute to this silver All crowned, white-souled saint, the writer closed with the if^ above interpretation of the three R's, which had already become a talisman to his soul. The years that have passed since have only served to deepen the feeling of reverence and affection which prompted it, and to strengthen the conviction of its accuracy. An indefinable charm there is in this life and personality which a gracious God endowed so richly with talents of mind and graces of heart, and as graciously permits to linger long with those who love him much, that ere he goes to the great mansion prepared for him by One who loves him more, they may catch the evening glory of his soul. Truly the charm is inde- finable. Its elements were not so easy of analysis as in most men, so subtly are they combined. Childlike simplicity, with the most penetrating practical insight; the sternest righteousness of conduct, with broadest liberality of view; rigid business principles, with ten- derest sympathy for life; a personal reticence almost austere, with a sacrificial interest in every progressive religious movement, almost sublime; a readiness to go at the summons of his Father to the better world, with an intense desire to stay and help make the world better; a Christian who loves his church for what it has done for him, who gives himself and his means to the Church for what it can do for others; — a miser of every penny when useless waste is threatened, a princely giver of thousands v/hen great causes are in the balance. God has given to the University we love many noble spirits whose names are like incense to countless grateful hearts, — but He has given none more worthy of our heart's affection than is he whose trinity of R's stands for the type of character which, pray Heaven, the University may be able to produce. L. J. Birney. BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR 11 TRIBUTE TO THE FACULTY OF THE BOSTON UNI- VERSITY LAW SCHOOL RETROSPECTIVE jT is an extremely difficult task in the brief space here allotted to write a just and adequate appreciation of that noble and highly cultivated body of men, who have so faithfully and well served as professors and lecturers in the Boston University Law School, many of whom have passed on. Each possessed in a marked degree a strong and enduring personality which would in justice call for extended individual tributes. It is, therefore, with feelings of delicacy, mingled with hesitation that one of the former students of the University takes up his pen and refers briefly in words of appreciation to a few of these talented teachers of the law. The writer, therefore, earnestly trusts that in writing these few lines, he has, at least expressed in part the kindly and tender feelings of that large body of students which has in the past been so fortunate as to sit under the inspiring teachings of this cultured body of edu- cators, whose works still live and will ever live. We refer briefly to George Stillman Hillard, LL.D., Dean and Professor, celebrated lawyer, gifted orator, editor, author, educator; N. St. John Green, LL.B., Acting Dean, Professor, talented lawyer, gifted and brilliant teacher ; Edmund H. Bennett, LL.D., Dean and Professor, of broad, deep and liberal intellectual training, judicial poise and analytical, of large sympathies, calm, dignified and kindly personality, a man who not only possessed a clear perception of the law and kindred subjects, but in a masterly manner was enabled to impart his knowledge to others. Judge Bennett was beloved by all who knew him. Other familiar faces appear before us : Dwight Foster, LL.D., Professor, of learned and calm judicial temperament, a born teacher, and a former Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court; Charles Theodore Russell, A. M., Professor, of broad and liberal learning, kindly, genial, humorous, beloved by the students; Professor Elias Merwin, of liberal scholarship, polished lecturer, distinguished educator; Henry W. Paine, LL.D., a bril- liant lawyer, whose keen eye penetrated and solved the most com- plicated problems of real estate law; Francis Wharton, S.T.D., LL.D., eminent jurist, distinguished educator, writer on legal and kindred subjects, authority on conflict of laws; Uriel H. Crocker, LL.B., critical lawyer, learned in legal research; John Ordronaux, LL.D., graceful, fluent, cultivated lecturer on medical jurisprudence; Hon. Edward J. Phelps, LL.D., authority on constitutional law, political leader, able lecturer, celebrated educator, diplomat, min- 12 BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR ister to the Court of St. James under President Cleveland; Pro- fessor Frank Goodwin, critical, faithful, earnest and learned edu- cator, thoroughly in love with his work. Still other faces appear before us: Benjamin R. Curtis, LL.D., John E. Wetherbee, LL.B., Edward L. Pierce, LL.D., Otis P. Lord, LL.D., W. B. Lawrence, LL.D., Benjamin T. Thomas, LL.D., John Lowell, LL.D., Chauncy Smith, A. M., William G. Hammond, LL.D., and many others. Each of these cultivated scholars was recognized as an expert in his chosen specialties of the law; each one in his special department of study exerted a mighty influence for good, and by precept and example exhorted the students to follow and exemplify the highest, ethical and legal ideals. We gladly refer to the deep-seated inter- ests in this institution of former Dean Melville M. Bigelow, Ph.D., a ripe scholar, of broad and extensive reading, profound learning, exact scholarship, a legal writer of national repute and celebrated educator, who for many years was an honored lecturer, subse- quently became Professor, later Dean, and at the present time is a professor in the University; and James Schouler, LL.D., noted lec- turer on law, writer on legal subjects, noted historian, until recently a lecturer in the University. We would gladly refer to many other noted lecturers and educators who have served this institution in the department of law and are still serving it at the present time. But this article largely refers to the past, not to the present. Is the work of these celebrated educators finished? No, it has just commenced. The memories of the classroom and lecture hall can never fade; they are fixed and lasting pictures in the chambers of memory. The helpful and inspiring influences of these high- minded and cultured men have exerted influences far reaching. They have gone forth and have been felt directly or indirectly by a large number of people in all departments of human endeavor. These educators studied to direct, instruct, inform, inculcate, train, advise, teach and enlighten. As it has been truly said, "The teacher, like the poet, must be born, and then born again; for the spirit must quicken the spirit, and life inspire life, before knowledge can grow to wisdom; and wisdom, set on fire with love, can lift the world to Him who is 'the truth and the life.' " There is no branch of learn- ing that offers a broader or more complete course of study than the law, no field that offers a deeper development of true and inspiring manhood, for the law in its different phases reaches all conditions and classes of men and when laws are justly enacted, properly interpreted, and honestly administered, they should lead all men to the highest ideals of Christian citizenship. It is, therefore, the duty of the lawyer as a faithful student of these learned and con- scientious teachers, to study carefully and emulate the highest, ethical and legal ideals; to consider well the Oath of his exalted office and all that it means to humanity and himself; to encourage calmness not tumult, order not disorder, harmony not discord, BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR 13 peace not strife; to discourage unworthy litigation; never under any circumstances to commercialize his profession; to remember that he is an honored officer of the court, that he has certain sacred duties to perform, not only for his clients, but for the community in which he lives, that he must seek for and develop the latent and dormant good and not the bad in man, that he should earnestly seek for absolute truth, for perfect justice, for the lowest as well as highest, for the weakest as well as the strongest, that his aim should be the constant betterment of humanity, remembering what has been so aptly said, "Of law there can be no less acknowledged, than that her seat is the bosom of God, her voice the harmony of the world." Frank E. H. Gary. 14 BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR B. U. SCHOOL OF MEDICINE iN November 5th, 1873, Boston University School of 0\\ Medicine opened its doors for the reception of its first II class. Up to 1915 eleven hundred and thirty (1130) students have been graduated from the School, and representatives of its alumni may be found not only in the various states of the Union, but in Japan, China, India, Turkey, Africa, and Australia. The School has always stood for co-education in medicine. It was the first medical school to demand examinations of applicants for matriculation who are not college graduates. It was also the first to offer a graded course of three years. (1873.) In 1878 it was the first medical school in this country to offer a four-years' course. In 1890 it was the first to make that course compulsory. In 1878 it offered a course leading to the degrees Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. In 1907 it was the first medical school to institute an optional five-years' graded course. In 1908 it offered, in conjunction with the College of Liberal Arts of Boston University, a six-years' combination course, where- by the two degrees Sc.B. and M.D. might be acquired. In 1912 its graduates became eligible, under certain specified conditions, to the degree of Ph.D. of the Graduate School of Boston University. It is the only medical school which possesses three medals, won (in 1904, in 1905, and in 1908) on the merits of its exhibits in open competition at national and international congresses. During the forty-two years since its inception its buildings have been more than doubled in size, its course more than doubled in length, its Faculty and subjects included in its curriculum more than doubled in number, and its clinical facilities increased more than four fold. John Preston Sutherland. BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR 15 ISRAEL TISDALE TALBOT, M.D. Born October 29, 1828— Died July 2, 1899 ^^ E was a born "captain ;" a successful leader, full of energy, T T \\ initiative and endurance; determined, persistent, but -*--*• (^ able to yield a poiiit if it seemed for the good of the ^j) cause; of quick and keen perception, and possessed of an intuition as to the probable success of a venture. He was a judge of human nature and skilful in stimulating all about him to high endeavor and earnest labor. He was a moving spirit in local, state, national and international medical associations. With high ideals of loyalty and duty and a deep sense of personal responsibility, he devoted his life with tireless energy to the wel- fare of humanity. Chiefly through Dr. Talbot's force of character, tact, methods, foresight, and ability the Boston Homoeopathic Medical Dispensary, the Massachusetts Homoeopathic Hospital, the Boston University School of Medicine and the Westborough State Hospital for the Insane came into existence and grew into firmly established suc- cessful institutions. By his contagious enthusiasm the New England Medical Gazette was brought through its critical early days and matured into a strong and influential journal, and the American Institute of Homoeopathy, at the close of the Civil War, was rejuvenated, reorganized and started on a long career of usefulness as an influen- tial national organization. Dr. Talbot was an unreserved advocate of co-education and a champion of higher medical education. As a progressive, daring surgeon, he performed the first successful tracheotomy by the Trousseau method in this country. His was not only a dominating personality, a phenomenal organizing and executive ability, but his skill and sympathy made him a typical, respected and beloved family physician, a wise counsellor and loyal friend. John Preston Sutherland. 16 BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR HENRY G. AHLBORN, M.D. 'O have lived honorably before all men; to have given ' I ^ \\ unceasingly and ungrudgingly for the amelioration of ^ others; to have contributed much to the happiness of all with whom he came in contact; to have added to the store of knowledge in the profession of which he was a loyal member, — these things, so true of the late Dr. Ahlborn, are reasons enough for this tribute. No one met him who did not appreciate his splendid manhood ; no patient consulted him who did not at once give him his entire confidence ; no friend was made who did not consider this friendship one of the rare blessings of his life. Marcus Aurelius once said, "Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it, so it is none the worse nor better for being praised." Of one thing more let me speak; and that is of the wonderful courage, the patient submission, and the abounding cheerfulness which attended his last illness. The memory of this life and its influence will not be forgotten. Frederick B. Percy. BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR 17 ANIMAE CANDIDAE THOMAS BOND LINDSAY, 1853-1909 IS colleagues mourn the loss of a teacher gifted and inspiring, a counsellor wise and sympathetic, but most of all a friend. I have never known a spirit as fine as his. Clear sighted as he was, incapable as he was of anything but intellectual honesty, he yet had the kindest tolerance for the short- comings of others. Cant and pretence he abhorred ; pettiness and vulgar self-seeking he despised. Generous in every instinct, he gave without stint of his time and strength in the service of others, thinking it his highest reward if he could help less gifted souls in the search for truth. To what he was and to what he taught, many who were fortunate enough to know him owe in large measure what they may have attained, for to few enough has it been given to see life so nobly patterned in a man of such uncommon gifts and so truly generous a nature. A. H. Rice, 18 BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR JOHN EASTMAN CLARKE, Ph.D. [T is little wonder that Dr. Clarke came to be known I ^ as the student's friend. He had a close personal interest in the lives and future of his pupils. He was singularly sensitive and forever helping poor struggling students and saying nothing about it. The struggler was to him always an object of special sympathy. This sympathy was fundamen- tally connected with his humorous appreciation of all life, its oddities, its idiosyncrasies, its incongruities. He realized that we are all fellows, that the poorest and the queerest and the worst are of like passions, with ourselves. In this sympathy and humorous appreciation of life may be read the secret of his patience, his affection, his simplicity, his wisdom. E. Charlton Black. BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR 19 BOSTONIA, ITS ORIGIN AND EDITORSHIP ^^^N answer to an inquiry, Professor Joseph R. Taylor, I ^ A.M., the accomplished and obHging Editor of our ^ & . . . j^=^^=^==^ chief University organ writes as follows: — "The facts are these: In 1898 the University established the little quarterly called 'Boston University Notes.' This was a little periodical of sixteen pages, published exclusively for the benefit of the College of Liberal Arts. In April, 1900, at the suggestion of Dr. Barker, the University began the publication of Bostonia, as a University Organ, to help him in his work of raising money. For some time the two publications ran along side by side. In July, 1902, the two periodicals were merged under the name Bostonia, and the name 'University Notes' was dropped with the publication of the issue of April, 1902. "While the 'University Notes' were published I was one of the board of three editors beginning with the first issue and continuing until the publication was merged with Bostonia. When Bostonia was established Professor Rishell was appointed editor-in-chief, and I then wrote the items from the College of Liberal Arts. In March, 1904, Professor Rishell resigned the editorship of Bostonia and the Trustees appointed me as his successor. As nearly as I can fix the date it was March 20, 1904, when I received my appointment. The first issue under the new editorship was that of April, 1904. Since that time my service has been con- tinuous." William F. Warren. 20 BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR In grateful memory of ^ BORDEN PARKER BOWNE THOMAS BOND LINDSAY JOHN EASTMAN CLARKE William Marshall Warren. Brookline, Mass.

Were some one here on earth to say — I sang of thee. For this alone I ask for fame — That, in the summer eves to be, ' Lovers may meet and name thy name, And tell how thou wert loved by me. With love above reproach and blame, Serene in perfect constancy, The while out of a heart of flame I sang of thee. £. Charlton Black, LL.D., Glasgow, Professor B.U.C.L. A. Cambridge, Mass.

John E. Macy, LL.B., LL.M. Lecturer B.U.C.B. A. West Roxbury, Mass, 384 BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR December 29 I RESENT day tendencies in journalism mean three M >^ things of importance to women journalists: (1) that women themselves are growing and demand better papers : (2) that there is a growing demand for women writers who alone can furnish the new and better journalism for women: and (3) that a trivial society column or a sentimental woman's page is no longer the highest goal which a sensible woman journalist may hope to attain. A high-grade, uplifting woman's page, which men as well as women may read with profit, a page requiring more ability, more character, higher ideals, greater faith in women, greater expectations for women than have been seen is the logical outcome for the near future. It is the journalism which is surely on the way, and for which it is worth while for women journalists to prepare. Agnes E. Ryan, A.B. (B. U.) Winthrop, Mass.

Won't an extra effort make the coming year a little more distinctive, a little more worth while? What is wanted is not ninety- nine percent, efficiency, or an average performance that is going to show up well and make us self-confident.
