Obituary - Dr. Clyde Bowman Furst, fifty-seven, who died at his home, 200 Riverside Drive, had been secretary of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching since 1911, and from 1902 to 1911 was Secretary of Teachers College, Columbia University.
He died of a heart attack while asleep in a chair in his home. He had recovered from an attack of influenza a month ago.
Dr. Furst was an advisor to the War Department's Committee on Education while this country was in the World War, and since 1918 had been secretary of the Teachers' Insurance and Annuity Association.
He was the author of a number of books, including "The Observations of Professor Maturin," "American Literature," and "A Group of Old Authors." He was a contributor to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, The Encyclopedia of Education, and the International Year Book.
Dr. Furst was a member of the executive committee of the New York Public Association and a former member of the National Council of Phi Beta Kappa. He was a graduate of Dickenson College.
He was a trustee of the National Committee on Education, the Boy Scouts' National Council, the Harmon Association for the Advancement of Learning and the Spence School Retirement Fund. He was a former trustee of the City and Century Clubs, and a member of the Grolier and Faculty Clubs.
He will be buried at Brookhaven, L.I., following funeral services in St. Paul's Chapel of Columbia University at 10 o'clock Monday morning.
Also - Furst, Clyde Bowman, father of Lowry and Breading Furst, on Friday, March 4, 1931, at his home, 200 Riverside Drive, in his fifty-eighth year. Funeral services Monday, March 9, at 10 a.m. in St. Paul's Chapel, Columbia University. Interment private at Brookhaven, L.I.
Also - Clyde B. Furst - In the delightful little volume of essays entitled "The Observations of Professor Maturin," in which Dr. Furst expresses his own philosophy of life, he tells of an astronomer who spent so much time in making calculations, that he had not looked in a telescope for years. Not so Dr. Furst. While he is known chiefly for what he did by his calculations helping to put pension systems on a sound actuarial basis, he was ever looking into the life of humanity about him with a genuine and informed sympathy. His professorial friend and associate of other days, William H. Carpenter, was but describing him when he said of "Professor Maturin" that he "thought much and well" and spoke with understanding and weight not only bearing of his own experience but of the wide problems of existence, yet with "no pedantic air of professorial sophistication." He was a philosopher of cheerful mind, a modernist who had freedom of the past as well as the present. Among his Maturinian observations to be most cheriched are those which picture the Hudson River, with its "epic" breadth and power, its embellishments of light and shadow and its clouds rising above the Palisades, "better than any Alpine mountains"; which discuss the mystery of dress and the measuring of mind, and which, interpreting the message of psychology, declares it to be richer and more original that that of the Renaissance. But above all else, many will be grateful to him for the intimate and inviting depiction of the campus life of the "small college," whose future seemed to him bright rather than dark. Dr. Furst's early death, which will be lamented throughout the academic world, no actuarial calculation, such as he had made for the great group of teachers, could have anticipated. But it must have been like one of which "Professor Maturin" speaks- "unaccompanied of pleasure when it is natural."
