It is in such graduates as Dr. Brooks and Dr. Peabody that we find embodied the noblest examples of Harvard men. If it were possible to point to any two persons as types of the best and greatest which Harvard can claim as her own. we could choose none more appropriately than the two who have been taken from us so recently. The college has already mourned the loss of Dr. Brooks and is still mourning him. The sad news of yesterday but adds fresh cause for grief. We who are now in college can hardly appreciate what Dr. Peabody has been to Harvard. We can form little idea of the vast influence for good which he exerted for the college while in the vigor of his life. It is rather for those who have gone before us to have had the privilege of his personal acquaintance in the class room and chapel. Yet occasionally he has preached to us, and we have then felt the strength of his personality and shared his kind and sympathetic nature. On class day at the exercises around the tree his name has called forth the loudest cheers; and these have come from classes who have not known him personally. With all this popularity, was combined a feeling of reverence. We looked up to him as one of the links which bound us to the past of Harvard and inspired us with love and loyalty. All, then, must feel this loss with inexpressible sorrow; but the memory of the man as teacher, pastor and friend will not be easily forgotten.
