Prof. C. J. Moore
From Jacksonville, Fla., comes the news of the death of Professor C. J. Moore, brother of William A. Moore of Flint Hill and Mrs. John W. Sours of Castleton.
Prof. Moore died at his home in Jacksonville January 25, after an illness of two months. He was 74 years old.
Professor Moore was head of the chemistry department., Hunter College, New York, for 24 years until his retirement in June 1945.
Surviving are his widow who was Sophie Schwartz at their marriage in 1919; a daughter, Mrs. Hubert L. Worsham of Dublin, Ga.; a son, Charles J. Moore, Jr., of Athens, Ga.; and a sister, Mrs. C. A. Sours, of P,entonviile, in addition to the brother at Flint Hill and the sister at Castleton.
Born in Flint Hill, a son of John Randolph Moore and the former Elizabeth Green Professor Moore received a B.S. from V.M.I. in 1895; a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 1901, and a Master of Arts degree from Harvard in 1909.
Ilis research work in soil analy* sis led to his appointment in 1920 as chief chemist of the Bureau of Soils, United States Department of Agriculture, a post he held for a year.
After he had been at Hunter for 15 years, Professor Moore confessed to a reporter that he had come there with some misgivings as to the quality of girl students. He found them easier to work with than boys. “In general ” he said, “the girls are superior to boys as chemistry students. The girl is not distracted by the extra-curricular affairs she enters, has her aims clear in mind and knows how she is going to accomplish them. Girls are good sports, too. They can stand all sorts of inconveniences without whimpering. Although many have been burned by acids at various times, they always finish the experiments. Girls have never received the credit due them.”
