His is | illness was so weakening that he had been unable to participate actively in the university’'s work, and at the April meeting of the Board of Regents, that he might be relieved of some of his burdens, he v tus. He did not resume his work ever, when the fall term began, as he became gradually weaker. A hemor rhage three weeks ago decid and hastened the end that came early hour this morning.

She had | lately been unable to care for her hus- | band and lies a hopeless invalid. Professor Paget had h»r"‘l a member | of the facul fornia fcr s came to the university in 1887 as an instructor in French and Spanish, being the first instructor in the department of Ro- manic languages, which was enlarged from time to time under his direction. In 1891 he was promoted to an assistant | professorship, in 1893 to an sciate | professorship and in 1894 he was ap- pointed professor of the French and Spanish languages. In 1898 his title | was extended to include the French and Spanish literatures, as well as the languages, and in 1900 the wording was | changed to “Professor of the Romanic | 1anguages and literatures.” During his | long service Professor Paget endeared himself to his many associates and stu- dents ard was much revered for his kindliness and generosity. The nativity of Professor Paget was Petit-Villard, France, where he was born on June 27, 1833, his age being, | therefore, 70 years. His was an old and | honorable family of Franche-Comte. He studied at the University of Stras- bourg, which gave him the degree of Bachelier des Lettres on November 6, 1862. The University of Grenoble grant- ed him the degree of Bachelier des Sci- | ences on November 7, 1865. In his col- lege education his attention was de- voted particularly to the classics and history, his researches carrying him to many places about Europe. When the Franco-Prussian war broke out, young Paget joined the French army as an officer in the Francs Ti- reurs. In 1879, while in Paris, he mar- ried Emmanuel Marie Jacquet, who survives him. At the close of the war Professor Paget came to America and later to | S8an Francisco. He taught the French i and Spanish languages and lectured. | He was particularly interested in the exposition of Victor Hugo and the phi- lology of old French. In collaboration with Professor Edward T. Owen of the University of Wisconsin, formerly professor of French at the University of California, he published annotated editions of the “Les Travailleurs de la Mer,” by Victor Hugo; of *“Ursule Mirouet,” by M. de Balzac, and of “Cinqg-Mars,” by Alfred de Vigny.
