AT COXE MEMORIAL HALL HOBART COLLEGE.
"The lecture on "Unknown Mexico" given by Dr. Carl Lumholtz January 27, in Coxe Hall under the auspices of the Geneva Political Equality Club, and through the courtesy of Hobart College, was unusually well attended. President Langdon C. Stewardson of Hobart welcomed the audience and the members of the Club and introduced Miss Anne F. Miller, president of the Club, who asked that O. J. C. Rose, vice-president of the Geneva Political Equality Club and a classmate of Charles Norton Hemiup, propose resolutions regarding Mr. Hemiup, who was one of the founders and Chairman of the Legislature Committee of the club and was a graduate of Hobart College. The following resolutions were adopted
Resolved: That the Geneva Political Equality Club recognizes in the life of its former charter member and chairman of its legislative committee, Mr. Charles Norton Hemiup, a powerful and permanent incentive to high conduct of inestimable value to our community. His self-respect and integrity, his tender and constant filial devotion, his sympathetic and practical helpfulness to those who asked of him, his wise and willing public service, his truly religious spirit these qualities have won and command our respect, our gratitude our reverence. His name is an unlift to the hearts and minds of all who knew the nature of the man, for as another has truly said: 'He has shown us a life that is worth living.' We can show our appreciation of it by renewed zeal in the many causes dear to him. And further,
Resolved: that a copy of the resolution be entered on the minutes of this club and also sent by our secretary to the family of Mr. Charles Norton Hemiup.
In introducing Dr. Carl Lumholtz Miss Miller said, "When our club was asked to stretch a motherly wing over "Unknown Mexico," I wondered as you may wonder, what is the relationship between the Geneva Political Equality Club and 'Unknown Mexico.' But relations become clear when one looks for them in subjects of human interest and in this case I was soon very sure that we who are working for the development of woman's capacity and of her sphere of usefulness, should be edified and delighted to learn of our relations to and in 'Unknown Mexico.' Moreover I discovered that the point of view of the scientific ethnologist is entirely sympathetic with our own, for to the student and investigator of the human race, woman is a factor of equal importance with man. When political scientists and practical politicians apply this natural law to the national world, political equality clubs will be changed into centers of a better citizenship than we have known.
"In the meantime we are here to listen to Dr. Carl Lumholtz, who has given me permission to introduce him to you in two ways: First as one who since his youth has devoted himself to natural science, and second, as one who since his brief sojourn in Geneva has become a member of the Political Equality Club. This ready adaptation to a new environment reminds me of his beautiful reply when asked, 'Where is your home?' he said: 'My mother is still living in Norway and I go there each summer, but my home-it is the earth.' We trust that Dr. Lumholtz will consider Geneva one of the cozy corners in his world-wide home where he can come for rest and refreshment and where he can always be sure of a hearty welcome."-From Geneva Daily Times.
