HOSE OF US who knew Professor Herbert Newman in his prime T (and thi includes hundreds of Colby graduates) will remember him first of all for his persistent and unfailing Christian charity. It i hard to think of another person o completely devoted to his friends. It is hard, also, to think of another who e circle of friendship in­ cluded so many kinds of people. He once confessed to me that it was the non-believer the person outside the pale, the one who found it diffi­ cult to conform, to whom his heart really went out and on whose be­ half his efforts were most active. �Iany a Colby student, new to the ' ays of college, came to recognize the contagious chuckle, the easy mile, and the warm handcla p as the outward signs of a deep personal intere t, and discovered in Professor Newman's friendship a steadying force helping hi own growth toward emotional maturity and peace of mind. To write of him in this way may seem to suggest that he was a kindly soul whose real service to the college consisted of his extra-curricular activities. One of the most remark­ able things about him, however, was that his broad tolerance for the creeds and deeds of others was combined with moral and intellectual standards for himself of the most rigid sort. He spent a great deal of time associating with students and directing student activi­ ties, but he never neglected his life a a cholar. This was possible only because he was a prodigious worker who did not know what it meant to spare himself. His graduate work, for example, was done under Professor E. S. Brightman of Boston University, a thorough­ going philosopher and a somewhat severe though just critic of his students' work. I felt it was no idle compliment to Professor ewman when Dr. Brightman once remarked to me that the thesis which won him the doctor's degree was an accomplishment of which his col­ lege could be proud. Although most of his teaching was in the field of Biblical Literature and the history of religions some of his best re earch wa in the area of recent idealistic philosophy with special reference to the great British thinker Bernard Bosanquet. In his writing a concern with abstract philosophical ideas combined with and strengthened the warm­ hearted evangelical interest that characterized everything he did. In the fact that his was the first funeral to be held in the new Lorimer Chapel there is a kind of tragic aptness. To a large extent the arrangements of the chapel itself were the result of his careful and imaginative planning. For a period of years before it was built he had corresponded with religious leaders the country over. The information he received about college chapel programs was tabulated and served as the basis for the discus­ sions of the committee which determined the religious policy for Mayflower Hill. It was a bitter disappointment for him and for his friends that a physical ailment which developed in the summer of 194 prevented his complete participation in the work to which he had so long looked forward. The final service was Protestant in form appropriately to his own beliefs and the tra­ ditions of the college. It was attended, however. not only by those who shared his own theological convictions but also by many of his friends from the Roman Catholic and Jew­ ish groups. This seemed particularly fitting in view of his lifelong effort to break down the barriers by which men are cut off from one another. We shall miss him especially in these days of strident partisan clamor. But we shall ever be thankful that we knew him and mind­ ful of the influence he had in helping us to realize that we are children of a common Father.
