By courtesy of Greaves Publishing Company THE LATE WILLIAM J. GAYNOR William J. Gaynor, Mayor of the City of New York since 1909 and as such a member of the Board of Trustees of the American Museum of Natural History in its capacity as an educational institution of the city. Mayor Gaynor died sud- denly on the "Baltic" on his way to England, September 10, 1913 And I have got to that point where nothing said about me affects me much. Nothing that could happen to me would affect me much. I think I would be satis- fied under most any circumstances. I think we all ought to feel that way — espe- cially if you are going into political life, young men. Whatever God's will may be of me, I am content." From address to Politics Club of Columbia University. "Consider that the great universe of which thou art only a trivial speck, is gov- erned by fixed laws, and be therefore content in all things, and especially to die at any time, and abide God's will of thee, whether of individual future life, or dissolu- tion into universal mind and matter." From letter to Dr. Finley after rending Marcus Aurelius. 260
