AUGUST HJALMAK EDGBEN, son of A. EL and J. H. (Berger)Edgren, was born at Ostana, Wermland, Sweden, on October 18,1840. He graduated from the Lyceum of Stockholm in 1858,entered the Swedish army the same year, and graduated fromthe Royal Military School of Sweden in 1861. On the outbreakof the Civil War he came to the United States and joined theUnion army, enlisting in the 99th Regiment, New York Volun-teers, and was in many engagements with the Army of the Poto-mac. He was promoted to the office of Second Lieutenant in 1862,and, for meritorious conduct, to that of First Lieutenant in 1863,and served as engineer of the fortifications at Yorktown. Whilestationed at Hampton Roads he witnessed the fight between theMonitor and Merrimac. At the close of the war he returned andentered the 22d Regiment of the regular Swedish army as Sec-ond Lieutenant. In 1867-68 he obtained leave of absence forstudy in France and Germany. On his return to Sweden he wasadvanced to the rank of First Adjutant, but not desiring the lifeof a soldier longer, he resigned from the army, and coming backto America entered Cornell University, then just opened, forwork in science, and received the degree of Bachelor of Philoso-phy there in 18*71. The following year he taught science in theMilitary Academy at Riverview-on-the-Hudson, and then enteredthe Graduate Department of Yale for philological study underProfessor Whitney, receiving the degree of Doctor of Philosophyin 1874.

From 1873 to 1880 he was Instructor in French in the Shef-field Scientific School, and during the absence of Professor Whit-ney abroad in 1878-79 taught his classes in Sanskrit and Philol-ogy In 1880 he was privat-docent in the University of Lund,and then studied in Beihn In 1885 he accepted the chair ofModern Languages in the University of Nebraska, and during thesummers of 1886 and 1888 lectured*at Chautauqua.

402

tive Philology, and in 1896 was made Dean of the GraduateSchool His whole service at the University of Nebraska coveredfourteen years, and his enthusiasm and sympathy with his studentsmade him most successful as a teachei. He continued there until1900, when he accepted the high honor of membership in theNobel Institute of the Swedish Academy. This necessitated hisreturn to Sweden

From 1874 to 1877 Dr Edgren was the able and efficient assist-ant of Professor Whitney in the preparation of his German Dic-tionary, and in 1878 made a most important contribution tophilology, " On the Verbal Roots of the Sanskrit Language andthe Sanskrit Grammanans," which was published in the Journalof the American Oriental Society. He was the author of San-skrit, German, French, Italian and Spanish Grammars, and editorof masterpieces of literature and text-books in several languages.He wrote many poems in his native tongue, and his versions inSwedish of Longfellow's Evangehne, Kahdasa's Hindoo DramaShakuntala, and selections from Tennyson and other poets possessmuch literary merit. He also contributed many valuable papersto scientific and educational penodicals.

Dr Edgren died very suddenly of heart disease at his home atDjursholm, neai Stockholm, Sweden, on December 9, 1903, at theage of 63 years

He man led Miss Steendoif, who survives him with a son andtwo daughters

CHARLES ESIERSOX BEECHER, son of Moses and Emily E.(Downer) Beecher, was born on October 9, 1856, m Dunkirk,N Y., prepared for college in the High School in Warren, Pa., andgraduated iiom the University of Michigan with the degree ofBachelor of Science m 1878. For ten yeais following he was anassistant to Professor James Hall of the Geological Survey ofNew York, and his success as a collector and his ingenuity andskill in preparing and mounting invertebrate fossils were earlyshown in the many specimens now in the State Museum atAlbany.

In 1888 he came to New Haven to take charge of the collectionsof invertebrate fossils in the Peabody Museum, and for three yearswas Assistant in Paleontology. The next year he was Instructorin Paleontology, and during the illness of Professor James D. Dana,conducted his classes in geology for him. From 1892 to 1897 he

403

was Assistant Professor of Historical Geology in the SheffieldScientific School, and was then appointed Professor of Historical

jGreology and a member of the Governing Board of the SheffieldScientific School In 1902 his title was changed to that of Uni-versity Professor of Paleontology. In 1899 he succeeded Pro-fessor Marsh as Curator of the Geological Collections, and as amember of the Board of Trustees of the Peabody Museum.Later he was chosen Secretary of the Board of Trustees and amember of the Executive Committee. In the same year he waselected a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a corre-sponding member of the Geological Society of London, and afellow of the Geological Society of America. In 1900 he waschosen President of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sci-ences, and filled this office for two years. For a number of yearshe was assistant editor of the American Geologist,

He devoted many of his summer vacations mainly to theincrease of the collections of the Museum, and gathered treas-ures of great scientific interest. In 1889, soon after he becameconnected with the University, he personally obtained, in Con-verse County, Wy., one of the large Triceratops skulls now in theMuseum. In 1903, the last summer of his life, he made impor-tant collections in Canada. One summer he studied the collectionsin the British Museum, and in other years visited the YellowstonePark and the Grand Can von of the Colorado. In 1899 he pre-sented his entire collection of fossils, containing over one hun-dred thousand specimens, to the Peabody Museum.

Professor Beecher contributed " Studies in Evolution " to theYale Bicentennial series of publications, and assisted in the ti ansla-tion of Zittel's "Text-book of Paleontology." His first paper onfossil forms was published by the Geological Survey of Pennsyl-vania in 1884, and was a study of a rare class of Crustacea calledPhylloearida, based principally on specimens which he foundabout Warren in that State. He afterward returned to the samesubject, and in 1902, in a paper published by the GeologicalSociety of London, included all that is known of the UpperDevonian Phyllocarida of Pennsylvania. He gained high rankamong biologists and paleontologists, and was especially distin-guished by his work on Brachiopoda and Trilobita. Of elevenpapers on the former the most important was the "Development ofthe Brachiopoda," Of perhaps even greater scientific value werehis studies and classification of Trilobita resulting from discoveries

404

in the Lower Silurian shale deposits near Rome, N Y., of specimenspreserving antennae, legs and other oigans These studies wereembodied in thirteen papers on Triarthrus and Trinucleus. Heplanned a thorough tieatment of this subject later. A philo-sophical paper of special worth was entitled "The Origin and Sig-nificance of Spines ; a Study in Evolution " In all, his scientificpapers number about sixty-five

Piofessor Beecher died very suddenly of heart disease at hishome, on February 14, 1904, at the age of 47 years

He man led, on September 12, 1894, Mary Salome, daughter ofSalome and Lawrence (Deming) Galligan. Mrs. Beecher sur-vives him with two young daughters.
