college in 1896 was called to lehigh in 1899 and was in active service up to the time of his death any attempt to evaluate in words the service of a scholarly and successful teacher is futile it is

blake exerted a powerful and far-reaching influence at lehigh university along cultured lines he represented in an institution largely devoted to en gineering education the value of the studies of the

of this memorial tablet in the university chapel is very fitting it is a constant re minder of a great teacher and of a great man notice junior class meeting the lehigh soccer team played to a 1 to 1
