...December Monthly is to be commended perhaps more for its variety than its quality. Even geographically reckoned, the range of subject-matter is passing great; from China to the shores of Lake Michigan; from Canada to the other world of Orpheus. This is as it should be; the undergraduate mind has ever felt free to embrace the world entire, both fact and fancy. One expects to find, however, in that embrace more real grip than is evident in the present instance.

His labor was unremitting even in illness, when his great fortitude banished discouragement and inspired him to continue his splendid service. Thorough as was his scholarship, his genius was by no means purely academic. As a writer, he achieved fame in no mean degree; as an editor of important histories, his work was of immeasurable value; as a teacher he was admired and respected. His name stands high on the long list of men who have brought honor to Harvard...
