One of his latest enterprises was the study of color in the deparment of fine arts, a work so highly appreciated that he received an appropriation from the American Academy, the youngest recipient of such an honor. He also interested himself in the higher mathematics, in illuminating manuscripts, in paleography, and was a member of the university chess club, winning the novice chapionship in his freshman year.
