DR. MENGER DROWNED IN EUROPE
News of the death of Dr. Louis Menger, formerly of Clinton, was received yesterday afternoon. He was in Europe and while in bathing at one of the resorts was drowned.
Dr. Menger was perhaps one of the greatest scholars of his age in America. He was born and reared at Clinton, this county, and acquired his education in Mississippi college, graduating with the bachelor’s degree while still in his teens. He took his doctorate at Johns Hopkins College.
At the time of his death, at the age of thirty-two years, he was head professor of romance and languages in Bryn Mawr college.
Prof. Menger was a brother of Mrs. B. T. Hobbs of Brookhaven and his mother still lives at Clinton. His death causes universal sorrow, not only at Clinton, his old home, but wherever he was known.
Ending of a (very long) Appreciation, Modern Language Notes Vol. xviii, No. 7:
... he entered after long meditation on the need for, and the importance of, such a synthetic treatment. Steadily, untiringly, he gathered and digested his material, and after six years he felt that he had reached the point when it became desirable to submit a section of the work to Romance scholars, in order that in the continuation of the series he might profit by their criticisms. After printing a preliminary article to indicate his purpose and method, he placed the manuscript of "A Manual of the Anglo-Norman Dialect" in the publisher's hands. The first proof reached him and he corrected it. He was not destined to see his work in book-form. Death came to him suddenly, without warning. When life was joy indeed, in the fullness of healthy, manly strength, on August 4th, 1903, he was drowned in Lago Maggiore. They laid him to rest in the little churchyard at Ghiffa, a beautiful spot in the land he loved so well. A young wife, a loving mother, and many admiring friends, mourn him and cherish his memory.
