Oscar Clute, President of the College from 1889 to 1893, died at Los Angeles, California, Jan. 27, of pneumonia. It has been known here for some while that Dr. Clute was in failing health, but the an nouncement of his death came as a shock to those who knew him and loved him in the earlier days. schools. . Dr. Oscar Clute was born near Albany, N ew Y o r k, March 11, ^e w as °f Dutch decent. 1837. Up to the age of 17 he divided his time between the farm and school, teaching, but at that age he began his first work being done as princi pal of the Binghamton T wo years later he entered the Sus quehanna Seminary as both student In 1857 he came to and teacher. Ionia, Michigan, as a teacher, being chosen the following year as princi pal. In 1859 he resigned to become a student at the College, entering the sophomore class. W h i le yet an under-graduate he was appointed as teacher in the preparatory depart ment of the College, and immediate ly upon graduation, '62, he was tutor afterwards professor chosen of mathematics, holding that posi tion till 1866. As a teacher it is said that he was exceedingly popu lar, possessing a rare power of the best work out of his getting students. After leaving the college he en tered Meadville Theological Semi- n ? '" w h p i -p he crrnduafed t he f o l- lowing year. Upon graduation, he accepted a call to the First Unitarian church at Vineland, N ew Jersey. W h i le at Vineland, Dr. Clute helped to organize, and was elected presi dent of the famous Vineland F a r m ers' Club, which during his presi lim dency, gained a reputation not ited even to the United States. In 1868 he was married by Pres. A b bot to the President's sister-in-law, Miss Mary Merrylees. He remained at Vineland for six years, and from there was called to the first church at N e w a r k, N. J. T wo years later Dr. Clute received a call to the First Unitarian church at Keokua, I o w a; and, after serving there four years, was called to the larger field of Iowa City, serving for seven years the First Unitarian church of that city. F r om this church he removed in 1887 to the First Unitarian church at Pomona, California; and it was while engaged in building up this church, that he was called to the presidency of this College. He remained as president until September, 1893, when he accepted the presidency of the Florida Agri this state cultural College. From he returned in 1897 to Michigan broken in health, and after a short stay, removed to California in the hope that the climate might restore him. H e re he engaged in preach ing again, as his strength would permit. But his health continued to son-in-law writes: " F or the past year he has been in that he has not such poor health dared to leave California, and for the last eight months he has been treatment at a hospital for kidney disease. Recent letters indicate that he was comparatively fail. His receiving comfortable and felt that he was in competent hands. Rodney Abbot was with him." Dr. Clute was a prolific writer and an enthusiastic student of agri culture. While at Vineland he edited the agricultural department the Vineland weekly. While in N e w a rk he was for a time editor of the Liberal Christian of N ew York City. His book, T he Blessed Bees, went through four editions, and he wrote for various bee journals. He was president of the Iowa Bee Keepers Association and editor of the Iowa largely and helpfully of the most scholarly men the Col lege ever knew among its officers. To the writer of this he was always a kind, considerate friend, a wise and safe adviser, a just and courte ous superior in office. Dr. Clute leaves a widow and six children.

[Article read before Natural His evening tory Society Wednesday J a n u a ry 22, by R T. Stevens.] About four years ago I had the good fortune to be invited to ac company a friend of mine, a young Englishman, on a trip to Alaska. It was the regular excursion trip made for a couple of months of the year beginning with the last of J u n e. We rode by rail as far north as Tacoma, Oregon, and there went aboard our steamer, " T he Cottage City," which was to be our home for the next t wo weeks or more. We stopped at many interesting places on the way—Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, F o rt W r a n g e l, Juneau, where the largest gold stamping mills in the world are located, Skaguay and Dyea the entrance to the Klondyke gold fields —and on the fourth morning were winding our way among the ice bergs of Glacier Bay. As we ad vanced they became more and more numerous, until it was with difficulty that the ship could be steered clear of them. On our right were immense per About 9 o'clock we pendicular cliffs, descending straight into the sea without any beach or shingle. To the left could be seen a high range of snow-capped moun tains with the peaks Fairweather, Crillyon and many others reaching 14,000 feet or more above the sea. turned sharply to the right entering an arm of the Bay, and beheld before us the object of our trip to this locality, the famous Muir Glacier. It was probably three miles away extend ing from side to side of the inlet we had turned into. T he Muir, while perhaps not the largest of the seven liisffihstr.crs t he h?.\ is the most accessible and hence the most visited by excursionists. It was discovered by Prof. J o hn Muir while on an exploration of this bay in a canoe. T he cabin in which he lived while exploring the glacier is still to be seen. **R t h at ttG Seen from the inlet at a distance of a mile or more the glacier ap peared massive and comparatively regular in outline; but as we ap proached we saw that it was far from smooth. Deep rifts and hol lows alternated with broad plain bastions which were ever changing the icebergs were dircharged, as while it was roughened along the top with innumerable spires, pyra mids, and sharp-backed blades lean ing and toppling or cutting straight into the sky. T he Muir moves from 5 to 10 feet per day in its more central part. Soundings have been made at the base showing that the bottom Of the inlet is 720 feet below its surface, and that this wall of ice extends down into the mud and rock of its bed. As this wall extends from 250 to 300 feet above the surface, were the water and rocky debris removed there would be presented a sheer precipice of ice a mile and a half wide and 1,000 feet high. It has been observed that more chips or bergs break off at low tide, hence the theory that the water washes away the ice a little below the surface, and when it recedes the ice above, having less support, breaks oftener than when upheld by the tide. T he larger water at high masses of ice come up from the bottom of the wall. Muir says these come from that part of the wall that is below the effect of the waves, ^ F E B R U A RY 4, 1902. T HE M. A. q R E C O R D. 3 He calculates and having no ice above them rise to the surface by their own buoy ancy. that bergs large enough to be heard from one the to two miles away break off of in glacier on an average of one every .5 or 6 minutes. Some of them cad be heard at a distance of ten miles or even more. W h en these immense masses of ice weighing hundreds of tons, fall from a height of perhaps 300 feet into the water below there is at first a keen pierc i ng crash; then a deep deliberate thundering roar which slowly sub sides into a comparatively low, far- reaching, muttering g r o w l; then come a crowd of grating, clashing sounds from the agitated bergs that dance in the waves about the new comer as if in welcome; and these again are followed by the swish and roar of they reach the shore and break among the boulders. Some of these even rocked our ship anchored a mile or more down the inlet. But the larg est and most beautiful bergs instead of falling from the exposed upper part of the wall rise from the sub merged portion with a still grander commotion; heaving aloft nearly to the top of the wall with awful roar like i n g, tons of water streaming hair down they their sides while heave and plunge again and again before they gain their equilibrium and sail away as blue crystal islands after being held in captivity as a part of a slow crawling glacier for •centuries. the berg-waves as taken ashore In order that we might visit the -glacier we were in whale-boats and landed near Muir's hut.

Arriving at the foot of the glacier we were confronted by a rapid stream of milky-white water which flowed Its color was between caused by the crushed and powdered it contained which had been rock pulverized by T he coloring of the ice was superb. All shades of blue and pink were pres ent intermingled with streaks of dark green and black. Seeing no way to cross the stream and scale the perpendicular wall before us we "started inland. We soon came to a place where we could cross over. T he part of the wall we succeeded in mounting was comparatively smooth on top, for the sides do not move as rapidly as the center and hence are not as badly broken up. But what a sight lay stretched out before us. A thousand square miles of dazzling white. A grand lake or sea 25 miles wide and 50 miles long, containing more ice than all the 1,100 glaciers of the Swiss Alps combined. like a great white sheet sagging in the middle, while the edges were upheld by lofty peaks between which the ice in seemed immense to be pouring white rivers, sweeping in majestic their buttresses and curves around at the main part or trunk of the glacier. These last are the glacier's tributaries, of which there are seven principal ones from 2 join t he trunk, and 20 or 30 miles long, Tunning away back in the mountains a nd probably lost in the perpetual s n o w. to 6 miles wide where length gaining It was they W a l k i ng out over the level por t i on we often came across great to holes seemingly filled with a clear crystal blue making them appear bottomless in extent.

T h en we would come small blue lakes resting right on the ice, while farther out were much larger ones surrounded by crystal line peaks and pyramids. We soon the came the broken part of glacier. It is impossible to describe this wilderness of peaks, cones, bot tomless fissures, and gulches. T he whole vast expanse and is into a bewildering net crumpled rough, work of ridges, blades, and unspeakably broken beautiful and there are streaks running away up the slope and dis appearing behind some rugged peak or ridge, the medial moranes.
