Messages Read.
Tho high esteem in which the late
Professor Phillips was holfl by tho
faculty and students of tho Unlvor-
slty of Nebraska was testified to by
tho largo number present at tho mem
orial sorvlcos last evening at 5 o'clock.
Between fifty and sixty members of
tho forestry department attended In
a body.
Mrs. Raymond played a beautiful
organ proludo. "Abido With Mo" was
sung by tho congregation., Tho open
ing sentences woro read in unison, tho
chancellor leading. Tho University
chorus sang tho anthem, "The Lord
Is Mindful of His Own."
Chancellor Avery told of tho losses
of tho university and some of -his ob
servations of Professor Phillips. His,
remarks woro as follows:
"On occasions like this tho linos
como to my memory:
"'So whono-er-Itura my eye
Back upon tho dayB gone by,
Saddening thoughts of friends come
o'er mo,
Friends who closed their course be
fore mo.
Yot what binds us friend to friend
But that soul with soul can blond;
soul-llko woro thoso hours of yore,
Lot us walk in soul onco more.'
"Of thoso who have passed to tho
boyond during thoir actual tlmo of
sorYico in tho university faculty, I can
think of but eight. MoBt of those I
know personally, all, more or less by
reputation. Tho number 1b not largo
when wo think that tho university is
forty-two years old, and now has ap
proximately two hundred and fifty on
its permanent staff. Wo may bo thank
ful that wo havo beon spared more be
reavement. "Tho first loss camo in tho 70's
when Professor Drako passed away.
Tho next bereavement camo nearly
twenty years later when wo lost Mrs.
Monzoiidorf, ono of tho moBt inspiring
teachers in tho University School of
Music.
"I remember in '97 tho flno military
figure of Lieutenant Jackson, who was
with us only a few months, and his
successor, Col. Stotsonburg, who, dur
ing his detail at tho university, fell
'tifibn tho" 'battlefleld-in leading -tho
First Nebraska regiment against tho
insurgents in tho Philippines. A lit
tle later a young doctor of philosophy,
Dr. Solomon, passed away, and in '03
wo lost tho ever to bo lamented Dr.
Brace, ono of tho greatest scientists
of the country. Two years later the
scholar and poot, Jeffrey Hrtiek, dis
appeared'' from i among us, and now
Frank Phillips is added to tho roll of
the departed.

thorn and their deeds, tho associations
with them, thoir work, their oxamplo,
inspire us. to renewed devotion, and
though to us they havo become only
a memory wo cannot but feel that
somehow, somowhoro in tho unlvorso,
thoy" aro filling a not loss worthy part
than they filled hero in our univorslty
life.
"Wo havo come especially to day to
recall, together the memory or Tiim
who has departed last. ' This is not
tho time or tho place to recall tho last
Bad weekB of illness, or tho slow ap
proach of tho strange- malady which
mado him different from what he had
always boon, but rather to view him
as ho was in the fullnesB of life, and
health, and vigor, and unbounded
hope, as wo saw him from day to day,
and in such a way I shall try to recall
him to your sight.
"Professor Phillips was ono who
nover mado, so far as I recall, a single
request for his own personal advance
ment or. recognition. Laudably anx
ious always to securo tho best thing
for his department and his boys, thero
was never tho slightest taint of per
sonal selfishness. Ho never appeared
except with a jovial smile. Ho would
often como to my office to talk over
the needs of forestry, and our plans
always took tho form of serious com
plimentary Joking about his work, not
but what tho plans woro serious, but
the conversation was cast in tlfe guiso
of humor. Phillips was an optimist.
In vision ho could boo tho , pines
stretching ovor tho sand hills, and his
boys guarding tho trees, dear to him
as children, against fires and acts of
.marauders. Ho was an Idealist who
would havo converted every waste spot
of ground into groves llko God's first
-temples. To those whoa-know him
best ho was a. boon companion, a gen
erous friond. No cloud on his linger
ing hours, can obscure to us who knew
him bo well, tho memory of what ho
really wad, a youthful leador of the
young men who loved him so well."
Dean Burnett told of Professor Phil
lips' work, after ho became a member
vof tho faculty of the agricultural col
lege. ,Ho told of his strong, resource
ful efforts to improve conditions along
