Distinguished Haverford Pro
fossor of English Literature
Expires Suddenly at Home
HAD COME FROM MEETING
Dr. Francis Bnrton Uummcrc, pro
fessor of English literature nt Haver
ford College, tiled suddenly nt midnight
t his home, 1 College circle, Haver
ford. He was sixty-four years old.
Doctor Oummerc appeared to be in
excellent health last night when he at
tended a college committee meeting. He
went to bed at about 11 o'clnrts. Near
midnight he called his wife. lie wn in
pain nnd could hardly speak. In n few
minutes he was dead. Heart disease
Is said to have been the cause of death.
The funeral will be held Monday
afternoon at his home.
Professor Gummcre was a dofiecudant
of a lqng line of prominent educators
nd was an authority on the history of
poetry and ballad forms. He wrote ex
tensively on those subjects.
A son, Ma'jor Samuel Gunimere, who
wbb on General Pershing's stnff, is now
at: sea, homeward bound. Efforts nre
being made to communicate with him.
The professor had .two other sons, Dr.
Richard M. Gummere, headmaster of
Pcnn Charter School, and Krancis R.
Gummcre, Jr.
Doctor Gummere's w idow,. who wns
Amelia Smith Mott, of Burlington. N.
J., is an authority on the history of
New Jersey and the history of the
Friends In this country.
Doctor Gummerc's Career
Dr. Francis Barton Gummere was
born In Burlington, New Jersey, March
6, 1855. He was the xon of Samuel
James Gummere, the president of Hav
erford College 1802-74, and his child
hood was passed on the college, campus
with which his family has been asso
ciated for sixty years. He graduated
from Haverford College in 1872 nnd
then spent three jears at Harvard.
After four years of school tcaihiug iu
Providence he studied philology in Ger
many 1870-81, t the universities of
Leipzig, Berlin, Strassburg nnd Frei
burg, taking his doctorate in philosophy
at Freiburg in 1881.
Returning to this country he wns an
instructor in English at Hnrvard for
a year, and then accepted the hend
mastership of the Swain School nt New
Bedford, Mass. In 1887 he became
professor of English nt Haverford,
which position he held until the time
of his death.
Although many attempts were made
by larger institutions to 'xccure his
brilliant services, he preferred to re
main in the quiet little college com
munity where he had grown up. In
1009 Harvard conferred upon him the
honorary degree of Doctor of Letters.
'Inspired at Harvard
It was as a pupil of the famous
N Francis James Child at Harvard that
Francis Gummere first became an eager
student of the old English ballads ami
the communal origins of poetiy, n field
which h? made entirely his own and in
which tils brilliant and suggestive.
scholarship was unsurpassed. Upon
the enthusiasm instilled by Professor
Child he added the severe philological
exactness of the German universities in
the days when all the world looked to
those" institutions as pioneers in the
sciences of language. But no intensity
of study could quench the unique vi
vacity and charm that made Doctor
Gummere so inspiring a teacher. He
was one of those rare scholars who are
able to cast a spell' of enchantment
over their pupils a spell that none
who sat under him will ever forget.
His enthusiasm was cast in no narrow
mold: it used to be said by his stu
dtats that Doctor Gummere could havo
lectured to them on science, history,
biology, economics or philosophy and
made any subject he touched upon
for the moment the most interesting in
the world.
Loved by'Students
Doctor Gummere's students never
knew whether to be more delighted nt
the extent of his scholarship and infor
mation or at the radiant charm of the
man. His fiumor and social grace were
exceptional and confounding to those
accustomed to think of a great scholar
as one burled only in books. He was
never too busy to spend his time in
helping the humblest student. Himself
looked up to by scholars all over the
world as an authority on the deepest
problems of the history of language and
literature, he knew how to temper his
teaching o the capacity' of his hearers.
"His appearance on the Chautauqua
platform a few summers ago marked (he
introduction of genuine scholarship into
that characteristic American enterprise,
and he was always delighted by the re
ception ho received from those who lis
tened to him at that time.
Lived Quietly at Haverford
"His quiet home looking over the
cricket field at Haverford was, a port
of call for distinguished scholars from
'many; lands. What marked Doctor Gum
mere among scholars was hjs abound
ing virility and his rich charm of per
sonality. Those who knew and loved

him may be pnrdoned for thinking that
there was never miy one like him. To
hear him read the old English ballads
aloud in his deep strong voice was to
catch n glimmer of the beauty nnd
romance of life, and of the echoes of
human passion that rome throbbing
down the1 great stream of English litem
ture. As the medlcal inset Iptinn
carved over his fireplace snjt, 'lie is
the better lover who henis something
sung nboiit love,' those who listened to
Doctor Gummoie's lectin c. nnd knew
the. endless richness of lus quicK spirit.
were mndc better lovers of life nnd
truth. He used to sa that the tmest
epitaph for n scholar was the line of
his well -loved Chaucer 'And gladly
would he learn, and gladly teach ' "
Dr. Elihu Grant, of the Biblical lit
erature department, said of Doctor
Gumniere, "He wns one of the most
brilliant conversationalists that 1 have
ever been privileged to know; he had
a brilliant imagination, biilliniitly
trained. He wns n true friend and a
man among 10,000."

retain the present inmmissioiieis and
add enough so thnt the present inciim

regarded favorably because it would

Another suggestion is to appoint a

plane which also proved "STABLE" and
"SAFE."
The Unstable and Dangerous Airplane was
again exemplified at Atlantic City, on May
24th, in the death of two flyers: Beryle H.
Kendrick, pilot, and James H. Bew, Jr., a
passenger. Kendrick's business associate
and flying partner said he could give no
explanation for the tragedy other than that
it was due to accident.
But there was a reason, and there is a
remedy, that if generally known, would
cause a public demand to substitute these
dangerous types with a stable and safe ma
chine that will not "nose-dive," somersault,
"side-slip," upset or "tail-spin" to such
. numerous and unnecessary deaths.
Send for the REASON and REMEDY today and
get posted, then boost for the safe airplane.
