A TRIBUTE TO HERBERT F. DAVIS6Ii At the one hundredth meeting of the New England Association of Chemistry Teachers a committee, consisting of Lyman C. Newell, Arthur 1%.Berry, and Shipley W. Ricker, presented this tribute to Herbert F. Davison. It was read while the members stood with howed heads. At the close it was voted t o spread it upon the minutes of the meeting and t o send a copy to Mrs. Daviwn. "The death of Herbert F. Davisou has removed from the New England Association of Chemistry Teachers a man whose generosity and ability had wan our deepest admiration and genuine esteem. "As Chairman of the Southern Division and later Vice President, he was an industrious and energetic officer of this Association. His many contributions to our programs, always so willingly made, will long be remembered by us for their specific originality and immediate usefulness. "As a demonstrator of lecture experiments. Mr. Davison was unsurmssed. As a college teacher, t w , he was a constant inspiration to his students and maintained their interest not only by his skill as a lecturer but also by his keen appreciation of their needs as learners. His success as a teacher was due largely . . to the fact that his mastery of his subject and skill in presentation did not cloud his conception of the difficulties of beginning students. "Mr. Davison was a modest man and no doubt this trait delayed somewhat the professional recognition of his marked ability as a teacher. "The New England Association of Chemistry Teachers desires a t this time and in this way to make a formal and permanent record of its loss." ~
