He was, however, by choice a cooperator in the work of other students ; and Britton suggests Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club," July, that his tendency to help others, his almost over-generous nature, militated against his own original work becoming as prominent as its importance warranted.

Porter when he was puzzled, and in many instances the material thus secured was subsequently appropriated with- out acknowledgment. Sometimes, I know, Dr. Porter was justly indignant when his correspondents plowed too freely with his heifer. In the class-room Dr. Porter was always interesting, sometimes eloquent. He was fond of lecturing, and many of his former students remember his animated description of the carboniferous era, when the ferns which are now a foot or eighteen inches high were fifty or sixty feet high, as high as the tallest oak.

It is certain, however, that after such an experience, we never forgot what the pro- fessor desired us to remember. As a literary critic Dr. Porter was no less clear and 38 The Pennsylvania- German Society, keen. In its earliest issue the poem begins: Porter first read these lines in Dr. Weaver at his loom is sitting — is that Jim Weaver or Bill Weaver?

Harbaugh was indignant, and under protest explained the purpose of his lines. Harbaugh took the hint, and it is thus that the poem appears in his published volume. A year ago I pleaded with Dr. Porter to prepare a bib- liography, giving the titles of his most important writings. He fully intended to do this, but the work was never accomplished, and now we are partly left in the dark with regard to the extent and order of his literary productions. Augus- tine," and a Life of Zwingli," from the German of Hot- tinger.

Porter was an accomplished translator is evi- dent from the almost innumerable versions which he pro- Eulogy of Late President Porter, 39 duced. No one in this country could equal him in repro- ducing the lyrics of Riickert, Geibel and Lenau, and in some instances his versions have been declared by com- petent judges to be equal to the originals. The main cause of his success — apart from his poetic nature — was the fact that he regarded translation as a fine art, and spared neither time nor toil in the reproduction of the minutest shades of meaning.

His versions of German and Latin hymns — contributed to Schaff's Christ in Song " and to several hymn-books — are among the best that have been published. Porter's literary work, however, was by no means limited to translation. In the earlier volumes of the Mer- cershurg Review I have counted no less than twenty articles from his pen. It was in that Dr. That Indian Edda," as its author termed it, had but recently appeared, and had everywhere been greeted with extravagant laudation.

It was supposed to be original in substance, form and meter, and had been declared the crown and glory of American genius. Porter was examining Professor Koeppen's library, and there he found a recent German version of the Kale- Tvala, the national epic of Finland. How great was his surprise when he discovered that not only the form and meter of Hiawatha, but many of its most striking incidents were unquestionably derived from the ancient Finnish poem.

Becoming interested in the subject Dr. Porter im- ported the book, and his convictions were strengthened by studying it in its original language. Hiawatha was not a plagiarism — he never said it was — but it was decidedly an imitation of the song of Kalewala. It was this view that Dr. The purpose of the writer was fully ac- complished. Hiawatha has taken its proper place in American literature.

Its de- scriptions of nature are found to be wonderfully accurate, even when subjected to the severest scrutiny. The lan- guage and rhythm are faultless — raised to the highest pitch of refinement and elegance. The latest of Dr. Porter's articles, which we have seen, appeared in the Reformed Church Review for January, It was an essay on the English Versions of the Dies Irae. He referred to the defective Eulogy of Late President Porter, 41 rhymes which appear in favorite hymns — and these he regarded as nature regards a vacuum.

And I hope by thy good pleasure pleazer Safely to arrive at home hum. Porter — with much of his early energy and vivacity — dwelt on the defects as well as on the beauties of our hymnology. It was a theme in which he especially delighted, and to the end it never failed to af- ford him solace in his sorrows.

For thirty-five years Dr. Porter was pro- fessor of Botany and Zoology in Lafayette University, and for seven years — from to — he was also pastor of the Third Street Reformed Church of Easton.

That he was a man of extraordinary energy is evident from the fact that he could simultaneously serve an important congregation and conduct a department in a great literary institution. In years gone by it was on several occasions my privi- lege to share in Dr. I remember the cheerful household which gathered around him, and espe- cially the intellectual conversation which rendered every moment spent there a season of delight.

Porter was a 42 The Pennsylvania- German Society, woman of eminent talent and extraordinary culture. She was not only able to appreciate the literary labors of her husband, but herself produced works that manifested un- usual philosophical and theological ability. Their children were promising, and in their education their parents dis- covered a constant source of pleasure. Of all the family six grand- children alone remain. Porter's life the most admirable period embraces its concluding years.

With unwavering faith he bore his troubles, and to the last sought no exemption from labor.

Until he was actively engaged in the duties of his important professorship, and was subsequently emeritus professor and curator of botanical collections. When he retired from active duty eminent scholars delivered ad- dresses in his honor. He was President of the Board of Visitors of the Theological Seminary of the Reformed Church, and nothing afforded him more pleasure than his annual visit to Lancaster, to preside at commencement.

Gradually his strength decayed and on the 27th of April last, while he was writing a letter to a friend, there came a stroke that ended his long and noble life. Porter was a man of varied talents and he used them all. His chief purpose was to advance the highest inter- ests of his people, and it cannot be doubted that his work was well done. We knew and loved him, and it is with the profoundest reverence that we bring this tribute to his memory. Secretary s Report, 43 Secretary's Report.

The annual report of the Secretary, H. Richards, was then presented. It cannot be otherwise than a source of much gratification to us all to know that the past year has been one of continued prosperity to our Society. Our total membership has now reached the respectable total of Of these 53 have been received as new members, includ- ing 24 applications passed upon by the Executive Com- mittee at the present meeting.

Nine of our number have been called from our midst during the year. We have especial cause for sorrow, at this time, in the loss of our ex-President, Dr. William Henry Egle, one of the founders of the Society and always actively interested in its welfare, as well as in the death of our President, the Rev. Notwithstanding the feebleness of advancing years Dr. Porter at no time failed in his duty to the Pennsyl- vania-German Society, which was ever dear to him, and one of the last acts of his life was his attendance on the meeting of its Executive Committee.

The new annual publication will be in the hands of the members within a comparatively short time. We have had just cause to be proud of the work hitherto done by us in making public the noble deeds of a worthy ancestry, and it will be so much the more gratifying to know that our present volume will fully sustain the reputation gained in the past. At its last annual meeting the attention of the Society was called to the unfortunate condition of numerous old 44 The Pennsylvania- German Society. The whole subject has been carefully considered by them, and has received the earnest attention of a sub- committee appointed for special inquiry, consisting of the Hon.

Eby and Luther R. Their report is subjoined hereto, and is now presented to the Society for such action as may be deemed proper. The appointment of an experienced archivist would certainly seem to be most desirable, and, in view of the scattered condition of the papers, would appear to be the remedy needed to prevent further loss and destruction. The subjoined report of sub-committee mentioned in the Secretary's report, together with report of committee to which it was referred, is as follows: Your committee appointed to ascertain the character and condition of the unpublished Records of the State, beg leave to present the following brief state- ment, viz.

From the fact that documents of like import are to be found in two or more departments and in un- classified condition, it is impossible to place before you a business-like report. The citizens of our commonwealth have but a faint conception of the wealth of unpublished material lying in the attics and basements of the several departments in our capital city.

It is the accumulation of over two centuries, upon every variety of subjects, from the registered birth of a child to the recorded history of some of our ablest statesmen. Everything that tends to make the progress of our State, and much relating to the Secretary's Report, 45 nation as well, is to be found on the hill. The great mass of this material has never appeared in print, at least in the Colonial Records, and the first, second and third series of the Pennsylvania Archives.

Are You an Author?

The rapid growth of our State, not only as regards its population, but along industrial and commercial lines with the almost universal use of the typewriter, is responsible for a vast correspondence, and in order to make room for the new, the old papers are relegated to the rear. The Assembly should create the office of archivist, bond- ing the appointee, placing him under the control of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, giving him authority to remove from the various departments all manuscripts bound and unbound, not in active use. These should be arranged chronologically and then subdivided as to matter.

This 46 The Pennsylvania- German Society, being done the editor of the Archive could do this work in a manner much more satisfactory to the general public, and with a great saving to the State as well. Respectfully submitted, Maurice C. Your committee to whom was referred the report of a certain sub-committee relative to the character and condi- tion of the unpublished Records of the State named in said report, begs leave to announce that considerable in- quiry made amongst the members of the Pennsylvania- German Society is to the effect that the general tenor of the report of said sub-committee is heartily approved of by the Society.

That your committee recommend to the Society the sending of a formal petition to the next Pennsylvania Legislature to provide for a plan by which said unpublished records, scattered as they now are in various parts of the public buildings of the state capital, may be brought to- gether into one place, or building, for safe keeping and systematic storing.

That the State Legislature's power be further petitioned to provide some plan by which said Records, after having been so gathered together into one place, or building, may be catalogued, or a bibliographical list of the same be con- structed, by means of which catalogue or bibliographical list ready reference to all and singular of said records may be had. That to these ends the State Legislative power be petitioned to appoint for a temporary or a permanent term, some one, or a number of persons known as experts in bibliographical work, who shall supervise the matters sought Donations Received, 47 to be accomplished in the first and second clauses of this report.

After listening to the reading of papers, which will ap- pear fully in future publications, the members and their ladies were regaled with an excellent luncheon, served under the direction of the Harrisburg Ladies' Reception Committee, after which followed the Greetings of Imperial German Consul. A most interesting feature of this session was a paper by Julius F.

This music was beautifully illustrated by Mrs. Binnix, of Harrisburg, the gifted soprano of Grace M. The Society was honored by the presence, at their ses- sion, of G. Greetings of Imperial German Consul. When, about a year and a half ago, I arrived at Phila- delphia from New York, where I had been stationed for ten years, I knew very little about the Pennsylvania-Ger- mans, and what I knew or believed to know, had been derived from historical works written by Englishmen or by Americans not of German descent.

You are aware how the Pennsylvania-Germans are spoken of in those writings, and will therefore not wonder that I was somewhat surprised when in Philadelphia society I met people, bearing names apparently purely English, who told me, with pride, that they were of Pennsylvania- German descent. This experience, and other casual observations, made me suspect the correctness of what I had read about the Pennsylvania-Germans, and wish to learn more about them and about your Society, of which also I had heard in the meantime.

When last spring I bought the stately row of volumes that contain the proceedings of your Society a simple look at them sufficed to show me that these writings could not have emanated from people such as I had found the Penn- sylvania-Germans usually depicted by authors of other 50 The Pennsylvania- German Society, races ; and my study of the contents of those volumes, although necessarily so far only cursory, convinced me that much injustice has been done by American historical writers to this part of the population of the United States.

I felt highly interested in the aims and achievements of your society and am happy to be able to say that my august master, his Majesty the German Emperor, feels a like interest. And the same is shared by all Germans who hear of what you have done and are doing. As their representative in this commonwealth I desire to tell you how proud I have felt in learning from your his- torical researches of the important part men and women of German race have had in the settlement and development of Pennsylvania, and how glad I have been to find that although the nationality of your ancestors was merged in the great American nation, their descendants have pre- served so many of the best characteristics of the German race and a kindly feeling towards the old Fatherland, which was in ruins when your ancestors left it but has since arisen, like the United States, splendent with political power and foremost in the march of intellectual and material progress.

I desire to express my thanks for the opportunity ex- tended to me of meeting to-day, assembled here, the rep- resentatives of the Pennsylvania-Germans, and my sin- cerest wishes that your Society, which in the comparatively short time of its existence has already taken the first place among the historical societies in the United States, will continue in its successful and brilliant career.

After the delivery of the above greeting the Rev. Resolved That the thanks of the Pennsylvania-German Society be ten- dered the German Consul for his visit, and that he be assured that the Society will be delighted to see him and and other representatives of his government at future meetings of our Society. The early part of the evening was spent in looking at lantern slides, prepared by W. This very delightful and highly successful annual gath- ering came to a close with a reception followed by an un- usually fine banquet, at which the music was rendered by Froehlich's Orchestra.

He is the oldest of four living brothers, the sons of John Seiss, and his wife Eliza nee Schuler. John was the oldest son of Godfrey Seiss and his wife nee Kramer. Godfrey was the son of John George Suess, and his wife nee Dock. John George was born in lower Alsatia Elsass in After serving nine years as a grenadier in the French army, he emigrated to Pennsylvania in to join his brothers, Balthaser and Frederick, who had preceded him to America by ten or more years, and had located in Heidelberg Township on the Tulpehocken Creek.

John George there married Miss Dock, also from Alsatia, and thus founded the family of which the subject of this notice is a descendant. He took up land west of the Blue Mountain, and there built himself a house which the Indians destroyed in the outbreak of Subsequently he bought and settled upon land near the Moravian village of Graceham, where Godfrey his son and John his grandson were reared. The primary education of Dr. Seiss was mainly in the Parish school in Graceham. His further education was partly in private, with Rev. Ambrose Rhonthaler as Sketch of Rev, Josef h Augustus Seiss, 53 preceptor, and then as a student in Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, from which he subsequently received the de- grees of A.

His study of theology was com- menced, irregularly, in the Seminary at Gettysburg, and was pursued in private while in charge of an academy at Westminster, Md.

Barnitz, descended from a family active in the Revolu- tionary War, who died May 6, Seiss was called to the pastorate of the Lutheran congregations in Martinsburg and Shepherds- town, W. He next became pastor of the Lutheran Church in Cumberland, Md. John's Lutheran Church in Philadelphia, Pa.

This resulted in the formation of the Church of the Holy Communion, which he founded and has served as its first and only pastor from its beginning in present time. He was elected a member to every one of its meetings from the beginning. He framed its Rules of Order, and has served as its presi- dent.

As early as , the late Dr. Krauth, Vice-Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, wrote of them: Considered as an out- come of a life spent, not in the cloisters of the scholar, but in the midst of exhausting practical labors, the works are wonderful. He has thus become known by reputation to thousands upon thousands of the Christian public in all parts of the world. Seiss has been before the world as an author. His books and pamphlets number more than one hundred titles, and cover nearly all departments of literature. They are not mere ephemeral publications. His books look down from their shelves upon the most eminent theologians of all branches of Protestantism, and are freely quoted on both sides of the Atlantic.

Seiss' bound volumes are as follows: Seiss has always been active also in educational and benevolent institutions and organizations. He has also travelled extensively through Europe and the East, including Syria, Palestine and Egypt, He still serves as pastor of the Church of the Holy Communion, now in the sixty- first year of his ministry. His surviving family consists of two sons and two daugh- ters. The younger son is a physician and specialist and married ; the others are unmarried, and abide with their father in his home.

His nature was frank and open ; his temper even and judicial ; his judgment clear, cool and dispassionate, and his decisions universally respected. He possessed the loftiest ideals of the sanctity of the bench, and had neither friends to reward nor enemies to punish. He was richly Obituary Record, 6i endowed with common sense which legal disputation could never becloud nor befog.

When he came to the bench he found the calendar crowded with cases and the wheels of justice greatly clogged, but his unflagging industry, un- wearying zeal and wholesome discipline soon accomplished wonders and speedily cleared the overburdened docket. Judge Albright took great pride in his Pennsylvania- German ancestry. Plain, simple, unadorned man as he was he delighted in the sterling, homely virtues of the race from which he had sprung.

Rutter was a prominent citizen of New Holland and held in great respect by all. He possessed, to a large de- gree, the qualities of amiability and geniality, to which were added those of charity and generosity.
