Excerpt from The City College Quarterly, 1909, Vol. 5 Ussell sturgis was the one man to whom the Col lege of the City of New York has given an honorary degree. It conferred upon him in 1893 the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. It honored itself in honoring him. No graduate of the College has done more to educate all English speaking people and especially those of this country, in the love of what is really true and beautiful in all the arts of design. Indeed, is there any American who has done more in this fruitful field? His works remain - carefully considered, the result of thorough study, and sympathetic insight - to speak to us the words that he loved to speak while he walked among men. Thus he yet speaketh, though he has been taken from us to the larger scope and more perfect insight of the world to come. He was born in Baltimore on the sixteenth day of October, 1836. He came with his parents to New York at an early age, studied in the public schools, entered the Free Academy (as we called it then) in 1852 and graduated with the degree of bachelor of arts in 1856. His father was a shipping mer chant and at one time Commissioner of Pilots, a public spirited citizen, useful and active in cooperating with his fel lows in making the city of New York what it ought to be.
