300 TRIBUTES TO HIS MEMORY. manhood which every Bengalec father would like to sce his son attain. The resolution was carried unanimously, all present standing. The Hon'ble Sir Devaprasad Sarvadhikary. It is now my melancholy privilege to place before the Senate for acceptance a resolution that naturally follows the resolution which we have just adopted in solemn silence standing. No memorial that we could think of raising to perpetuate the memory of the late Sir Gooroo Dass Banerjee could be fitting in the larger sense for he by his life and character and by his teachings and example has left behind him a memorial all his own much more telling and effective than would be ever in our power to secure. To those who were associated with him in the work here or in the larger world outside, the memory of his life will be alway's dear and sacred and the vacant chair to my right to which reference has already been made will, pointedly remind us of what we have lost. It will always remind mus not merely of the gap that the loss has caused to the Senate, but of the greater gap in the community of which he was an ornament, guide and inspirator in a real and unconventional sense. And for those who were privileged to sce how it is given to a good man and true to die bravely, calmly, almost cheerfully the remembrance of Sir Gooroo Dass's last hours will be a memorial for all life. Simple life and high thoughts are mostly supposed to be people's ideals, but to end his days in the way that was Sir Gooroo Dass Banerjee’s high privilege was worthy of sago, Rishi and ascetic indeed.
