Although he allowed himself very little social enjoyment, he was a highly valued member of sev- eral informal societies, where he was warmly welcomed as a man brilliant in literature and conversation ; as an affectionate and delightful companion. To quote the words of an old friend, '' Pure in heart, knightly in conduct, he was thoroughly a Christian gentleman. " 13 EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OP BROWN UNIVERSITY, JUNE, 1895. Much to the pain of his colleagues, Professor Eli W. Bla...ke has felt obliged, owing to Mrs. Blake's ill health, to resign the Hazard Professorship of Physics, which he has held with such credit to himself and to the University since 1870. It is no disparagement to the exertions of President Wayland, Dr. Caswell and Pro- fessor Greene, to name Professor Blake as in effect the creator of the department of physics as it exists in Brown University to-day. He devised and launched the general courses in physics now taught ; he devised and for years personally conducted the special courses for laboratory students — work never done here until his time ; he selected nearly all our valuable physical apparatus, much of this being of his own invention and constructed by his own hands ; and he has re- paired and rendered of service many of the then useless instruments which were in the University's possession when he came.
