Emilius Oviatt Randall

Emilius Oviatt Randall.             109

 

Then, with my waking thoughts

Bright with Thy praise,

Out of my stony griefs

Bethel I'll raise;

So by my woes to be

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee

The meeting was concluded with prayer.

 

BENEDICTION.

 

BY DR. JOSEPH S. KORNFELD.

To the departed Emilius Oviatt Randall, whom we now af-

fectionately remember, may peace and bliss be granted in the

realm of eternal life. There may he find grace and mercy before

the Lord of Heaven and earth. May his soul rejoice in that

ineffable good which God has laid up for those who love and

revere Him. A never-failing inspiration in life, may his memory

be a never-dying benediction.

May our Heavenly Father vouchsafe unto the bereaved His

gracious care and may the light of His love lead them through

the darkness that surrounds them.

Peace to the dead, power to the living. Amen.

 

 

 

EMILIUS OVIATT RANDALL, PROFESSOR OF LAW.

The characteristic feature of the present day in education

seems to demand a highly specialized study in a rather narrow

area as a preparation for teaching. Perhaps more than any other

one thing the academic man feels that his equipment for teaching

is not quite complete until he has demonstrated his power of

original research and has received the testimony of that fact in

the form of a degree known as the Doctor of Philosophy. In

the absence of such testimony there is a disposition to assume a

certain superficiality in the work that men do. The older days,

therefore, are often looked upon as less critical and more super-
