Rossiter Worthington Raymond: A Memorial (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Rossiter Worthington Raymond: A Memorial
This memorial volume is meant-to serve. As a permanent record of the services rendered by Rossiter W. Raymond to the American Institute of Mining Engineers and to the mining profession. The description of the Memorial Service and the formal biography are reproduced from the official bulletin of the Institute. The volume would have been larger and more comprehensive if Dr. Raymond had not outlived three of his most distinguished contemporaries, Clarence King, James D. Hague, and S. F. Emmons. Fortunately one of his oldest friends, Dr. Lyman Abbott, has added greatly to the value of this memorial by contributing an inti mate account of his work for Plymouth Church. Mr. James F. Kemp, Professor of Geology in Columbia University, speaks for the geological branch of the mining profession, although he writes also on other phases of Dr. Raymond's life. Major Arthur S. Dwight, a nephew of the Doc tor, represents the metallurgical branch of the profession in both its civil and military capacities. Mr. Charles W. Goodale, of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, touches upon the litigation in which Dr. Ray mond took a leading part. Capt. Robert W Hunt has been twice presi dent of the Institute and was one of Dr. Raymond's most valued col leagues. Dr. Henry M. Howe is Professor of Metallurgy in Columbia University and likewise an ex-president of the Institute. Mr. Alfred R. Bellinger is a grandson of Dr. Raymond; his contribution expresses the feelings of the young people for whom Dr. Raymond was ever willing to spend his time, his talent, and his love. To Mrs. Bellinger, Dr. Ray mond's daughter, the reader will be grateful for a biographic sketch which suggests that the literary inheritance is subject to no Salic law. To her I am indebted for much wisely sympathetic and, keenly intelligent assistance in the preparation of this volume.
