Excerpt from Memorial Address on the Late John Whipple Potter Jenks, A. M., Professor of Zoology Emeritus and Curator of the Museums: Delivered Before the Faculty and Students of Brown University in Sayles Memorial Hall, February 6, 1895 For the first time in the history of the University, a beloved Professor has been stricken down at his post, dying upon the College premises. President Manning, indeed, was struck with apoplexy in the midst of the summer term, but he was in his house with his family around him. In these later years Professors Dunn, Diman, Greene, Bancroft and Lin coln have all had memorial services. Professor Dunn died at his father's house in Newport during the summer vacation. Professor Diman died in term time after a brief illness of six days, and Pro fessor Greene was stricken down while on his way to College. Professor Lincoln, whom we all remember so well, died after a lingering sickness, on account of which he ceased from active instruction. The subject of my sketch, John Whipple Potter Jenks, was a native of Massachusetts. He de scended from a family not unknown to fame in the annals of Rhode Island. Joseph, his great ancestor, migrated from Buckinghamshire in England, and be came the founder of Pawtucket. Each of his four sons was prominent in the history of the Colony. Joseph, the eldest, of happy memory, was a lead ing member of the Baptist church in Providence, for several years Governor of the State, and at one time a representative at the Court of St. James. The second son became the military leader of all the forces in the Colony. The third son, Ebenezer, was an Elder in the church. His son Daniel, familiarly known as Judge Jenckes, was a wealthy merchant of Providence, and a patron both of the College and the church. For many years he was a prominent member of the General Assembly, where he ren. Dered essential service in the matter of the College Charter. His daughter Rhoda, it may be added, married a Brown, and thus became the mother of the noted benefactor who gave to the University its name. The fourth son, William, the direct ancestor of the Massachusetts branch of the family, became a Chief Justice, and died at the advanced age of ninety one.
