One of his most marked traits was a ready sympathy that served as in the case of Phillips Brooks to hide the deep reserve of his inner nature. Dr. Everett was not a great administrator nor an organizer of especial ability, but it was in his power to reach heights of thought and inspiration to which ordinary men cannot attain. The ease with which he treated the most profound subjects showed how thoroughly...
