Dr. Bessey was a senior while t he w r i t er was a sophomore, and as his detail was t h at of collecting plants for the class in botany, I doubtless handled m a ny specimens t h at he h ad b r o u g ht from the fields, and woods, and thereby may have t a k en second h a nd from h im a proclivity for plants.

Prof. Beal was at to whip me into shape for life's work by keeping me largely stock of microscopic upon grasses with a great m o u n ts added as a relish—and so I dined w i th t he honored guests and the small group of botanists. t i me t r y i ng t h at P e r h a ps two years later Dr. Bessey a nd I were table mates in Dr. Farlow's laboratory, where a fine filling collection of Iowa fungi had been brought for in of a w i n t er vacation. in Iowa was in such good After other years there came the transfer of Dr. Bessey to the University of Nebraska, and another M.

He opened their eyes to the measureless world around they became t r u th seekers for t r u th sake. He led them to love life intensely among all its higher values as inter preted through the eyes of a botanist, and it is no wonder in his footsteps as inspiring t h at so m a ny followed teachers. t h em and the world, while thankful Dr. g-essey's impress upon science was grand, and botanists throughout for t he courageous exponent of all things truly phytologl- cal, must needs pause, wistfully, with moistened eyes, a nd realize t h at t h is earthly life h as ended—abound ing in the works of the Lord.
