Simplicity Marked Service For Prof. Hibberd V. Kline
Deepest simplicity marked the closing rites for Prof. Hibberd V. Kline in the Garfield Chapel, 513 Westcott St., yesterday. He wanted it that way.

The Rev. Dr. Charles C. Noble, dean of Hendricks Chapel, Syracuse University, officiated. He read Scripture selections that are basic to our Christian civilization:

"The Shepherd Psalm," the triumphant faith of St. Paul – "All things work together for them that love God… Neither life nor death can separate us from the love of God."

Life and death were alike sublimated in the glowing imagery of Isaiah:

"They that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with sings as eagles: they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."

Prof. Kline was well-balanced, alert and active to the last. His passing has left a wealth of happy memories. Especially he was remembered yesterday by neighbors, and by those who taught and studied with him through his 25 years as head of illustration in S. U. College of Fine Art.

Older acquaintances recalled early years of his career when he enlivened the covers and pages of national magazines with pictures representative of the "flapper" age.

Dean Noble noted his love of nature; his skill in the use of form and color to bring out its deeper meaning.

"For friends who walked with him, life is more beautiful," said the dean. "This is particularly true of the home circle where he is remembered as father, husband and the head of a considerable family."

Prof. Kline was carried to his grave by Dr. Erick Faigle, dean of the College of Liberal Arts; John Cook (Joe Beamish), Dr. Warren Shepard, Dr. Earnest Reed, Dr. Francis Beall and Prof. Edward A. Smith.

Hibberd V. Kline
Professor Kline, long one of the most popular teachers on the Hill loved everything that was good and fine in life.

He brought much of it to permanency with his paintings and drawings, many of which will be cherished for years by those who have them.

But he loved as well the world of outdoor sports, the glow of good competition, the skill of baseball and other sports, the walks through Onondaga's hills, the evenings of good conversation, the company of old friends.

A graduate of Syracuse University 51 years ago he made a name for himself as an artist and won scholarships giving him further study in New York City, then became a professional illustrator for magazines, later returning to his Alma Mater to form its College of Fine Arts in 1926, post he served as chairman until his retirement in 1951.

He also was the founder and enthusiastic supporter of the Associated Artists of Syracuse. Prof Kline was a man all loved and esteemed, an honor to his university and the city.
