ROTARIANS PAY LATE COLLEGE HEAD TRIBUTE
Marquette Club Issues Booklet Honoring Memory of James H. B. Kaye.
Tribute has been paid to the memory of the late James Hamilton Barcroft Kaye, president for 20 years and nine years president emeritus and professor of philosophy and education of Northern State Teachers college, by the Marquette Rotary club, which has issued an attractive booklet commemorating the deeds of the well-known educator and Rotarian.
The frontispiece contains a striking photographic likeness of the late President Kaye and inside the folder the following account is given of his life and accomplishments:
"Whereas, by the death in his seventieth year of James Hamilton Barcroft Kaye on July 10, 1932, at Custer, Michigan, there has been taken from us a loyal and honored friend and fellow Rotarian;
"Resolved, that the members of the Rotary club of Marquette, Michigan, spread upon our club records the following tribute to his memory.
Joined Club in 1916
"As a member of the Marquette Rotary club since March 13, 1916, up to 1923 as an active member and from that time as an honorary member, as its president in 1918-1919, as governor in 1920-1921 of the 15th district Rotary International, which at that time comprised the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota and the upper peninsula of Michigan, and as a member of important committees of Rotary International, James H. B. Kaye, affectionately known by all Rotarians as "Jimmie" Kaye, cultivated its friendships, aided in its growth, interpreted its aims and objects, and exemplified its high ideals in all his dealings and contacts. By his zealous efforts to further Rotary's purpose "to promote a more intimate, more efficient and a more ethical relationship among men" and to foster and encourage "the advancement of understand, good will and international peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men united in the ideal of service," he exerted an influence of inestimable and lasting value.
"Trained as a boy in the schools of England, graduated from the University of Michigan in 1892 with a degree of bachelor of arts, awarded a master of arts degree by Albion College in 1902 and by the University of Michigan in 1912; successively superintendent of schools in Reed City and Cadillac, Michigan; president of the Northern State Teachers college in Marquette, Michigan, for a 20-year period, from 1904 to 1924, when his health necessitated that he lighten his labors, to the date of his death; active in teaching at the college during a portion of each of these later years; honored repeatedly during his career by election to associations and officies of distinction in the educational field, he was recognized far and wide as a man of sound achievement in his chosen profession.
Magnetic Personality.
"He was an outstanding educator, an able administrator, a great scholar, primarily interested in philosophy, literature and the languages, a devotee of art, keen lover of nature, of strong christian faith, a man who exemplified the finest type of citizenship, a forceful speaker, a most inspiring, versatile, and entertaining conversationalist, a magnetic and winsome personality, firm in his convictions, wise in counsel, considerate and just in his estimate of others, sympathetic, tactful, kind, friendly, loyal sincere--a true and noble gentleman.
"Admired for his ability, attainments and qualities of character, the life of James H. B. Kaye will always be an abiding inspiration and a treasured memory. His death has caused deep and widespread regret, for wherever he went and wherever he was known, he inspired admiration and confidence, esteem and affection. We have all lost in the death of Rotarian "Jimmie" Kaye a gentle, generous and lovable friend.
"Be it further resolved, that we, the members of the Marquette Rotary club, extend to the widow and children of Mr. Kaye our deepest sympathy in their loss, and that a copy of this tribute be sent to his family."
