The question now a l-ises who will take his place. This grand old nun of journalism was born in Winnsboro. ?. C., in After finishing VIT^ g+rrTTTUniorTin Richmond, he stu uied Mathematics aid Pnysics a. the newly created graduate schoo. ji John Hopkins in Baltimore. Ir. 1900 he entered upon hi3 duties al Howard university where he serv ed as Professor, Departmental Chief, Dean and* Dean Emeritus, intil {he H-me nf his Haath, Kelly Miller was loved and respected by all Vvho Knew him. Hi.position at Howard brought him into intimate contact with thous Amis of young people from every section of the nation, and possib iy, a score of foreign countries lie manifested a keen interest in and an aptitude to grasp the core-of problems which were common a tne groups of all sectionr.s. He treated with the proud easterner, and suffered the " whims of the noisy westerner, without the forgctiulness of the shy southernot Ahom he had an infinite-sympathy Cor. l et if thaLJwere- all -bis life Ka7 meant,?Kelly?Miller would . only stand first in a large company of scholastic dignataries who, in every coflege, and under all condi lions, are persistently kind to- the.1 pupils. It is not all. There is something else whirh wns niiflihliin his unaffected voice, is in th< tyle of his writings, : nd was the special element in his influence. It ivas the quality within him which made it possible for him to protest agaitlst unrighteousness in righ places without retreat into radicalism. He knew and under, stood the complexities of the Anierican r;> o ui'thlum.' and ex-. plained?them-sq1 well. [Tiat where ?ver the epic of the Negro is rented, wrether inn New "York, or Now uricnns. mo i nuosopny o: Kelly Miller is placed ou a high )lanc. When it comes to thP intellect le was the most renow(ed thinkei is betwcenn Booker T. Washingon ar.d W. E. B. DuBc/is. Kelly Mrller was perhaps a . bit revolu:ionary in some of his thoughts iut he was always able to tempei lis suggestions wit V. n f.r^ 4 values f.rul a discriminating in telligencc. He sympathized with the fellow-members of his underprivileged race, but was equally :on? "ious that there are divergent Jer ard3 growing out the highly kvnnical "'vilizntion in which wc i\e, a: <j which all will not measne up to at nil times. That, I think, is why he was a oast-master st peruisng thP prob lerr.s of his people, and a genius t guidance. It is to renew men'; faith, so hard to hold, so easy t< o-'-o that heroes are born as wyt nesses and as examples. Kelly Mille rwas a witness that serenit* and unrlerta' (ding not merely "orce end ambition ard wilfulness an overcome the obstacles of a strong but uitderprivilogqd, peo pie. Mr. Miller took high rank in rhe craft as author of "Race Ad" "Pli-rf nf rKo TToiiso'- of P-ondagc??' "The Di grace of A' ' '^rican Democracy," "The World War for Human Rights" and 'Choosing a Profession." He also stood o?t prr/mine-jtly imong the reformers of American politi-cs. He was among the first olorcd-men to "denlore thr apostacy of the Repuhlk-H?) pHrty ir I 0.T2. His private-life, nfter he had re Hred from actual service, was | simple and quiet. His leisure time after making his weekly releas cs to more than a hundred weekies. was spent amidst literary environment among work of thought ind taste. And, although no ore will cvci ae able to put into words th whole long record of his accomplishments, all America can hni! aim as a scholar, and an upright nan, who was devoted and loya to the cause of his fellow men.
