Th representations (to the Classification Board) then made by me—representa- tions deliberate, dispassionate and re- sponsible—are more significant than would be any eulogy framed now. I quote them Spent Life in Service. “ ‘Beginning with his boyhood Mr. Griffin has spent his lite in the serv- jce of libraries of the scholarly type: the Boston Public Library, the Boston Athenaetim and the Library of Con- ress. He has acquired a knowledge of the literature required in research, such as could not be duplicated ex- | cept in a like period by a man of like ability and persistence. To_this bib- | liographic knowledge he adds a re- markable instinct—a “flair"—for “sub- merged” material. In his accumu- lated knowledge, his range and this instinct, he has not his superior in any American library. He is, indeed, the foremost expert in that regard in any library in the United States. “His service ed, and his loss arable.” Mr. Griffin, whose wife died a little nore than a year ago, is survived by daughter, Mi ace Griffin, and wo sons, Perry, residing in Detroit, and George, who is engaged in busi less in Massachusetts, Mr. Griffin was born at Wilten, N.
