Biographical Notes
December 8th, 1900.
Death of Mr. G. C. Greenwell.
The President (Mr. J. G. Weeks) said that, since the last meeting, the Institute had lost one of its honorary members— Mr. George Clementson Greenwell, who was President during the years 1878 to 1881 and one of the founders in 1852. His loss was a very great one to all mining engineers, not only in this district but throughout the whole world. He was a man preeminent in his position, and his Treatise on Mine Engineering was one of the best standard works on the subject. He had contributed many valuable papers on mining and kindred subjects to the Transactions, and few engineers had done so much for the advancement of the science and practice of mining. He moved that a letter of condolence be sent to Mrs. Greenwell and other members of the family on the great loss they had sustained, a loss which was shared by the Institute.
Mr. J. L. Hedley (H.M. Inspector of Mines), in seconding the resolution, said that he was intimately connected for many years with their late friend and past President. They had lost a valued member of the Institute and a kind friend, and when ho wrote his book on Mine Enginee ring, which had proved so useful to them, it was written, not for his own advantage, but for the benefit of all who took up the profession.
Mr. A. L. Steavenson (Durham) said that he was not one of the original members of the Institute, for he joined it about three years after its formation, but for very many years Mr. G. C. Greenwell was a valued colleague and one whom the members always were glad to hear at their meetings.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
