McGovern CLARENCE BUCKINGHAM ON the twenty-eighth day of August, nineteen hundred and thirteen, the Trustees of the Art Institute lost by death one of their most high- ly esteemed associates, Clarence Buckingham. He was bom in Zanesville, Ohio, on the second day of Novem- ber, eighteen hundred and fifty- four, but spent all save three years of his life in Chicago. He was attached to the City and was one of its useful citizens. He gave freely of his time and energy to the encouragement of its welfare. This he did in such a quiet, unassuming way that comparatively few of his fellow citizens were aware of his broad sym- pathies. As a business man he was noted for his sagacity and integrity, and was called upon to serve as a Director in many corporations of importance in the financial world. He was greatly interested in the wel- fare of the children of the community and took an active part in the establishment of the Public Playgrounds and other institutions for their pleasure and develop- ment. He was a staunch friend of the University of Chicago Settlement and gave generously for the support of its good work. He devoted much time to the Home for Old Men on Garfield Boulevard. As a Trustee of the Glenwood School for Boys he was one of its active promoters. He was a lover of the Fine Arts and devoted to the advancement of the artistic life of Chicago. For thirty years he was a Governing Member of the Art Institute, and served it faithfully as one of its Trus- tees for more than eleven years. Here his fellow Trustees soon recognieed the value of his cheerful and animated presence, his quiet and sane judgment. He was a zealous supporter of every branch of the varied work of the Art Institute, and enriched its Museum by repeated gifts of money, paintings, etchings and Japanese prints. He was a man of rare artistic taste and for many years found his greatest pleasure in bringing together the remarkable collection of etchings and Japanese prints that is now placed on exhibition for the first time. To his intimate friends this collec- tion is a living witness of his infinite patience and lov- ing care, the result of which is visible in the quality of the prints hung upon these walls.
