Tribute to the late Dr. Frederick A Cleveland was paid by the Norwood School Committee in the following resolution adopted at the meeting Wednesday night.

‘The death of Frederick A. Cleveland on January 26, 1946, marks the close of a career which has been truly fruitful.

“Doctor Cleveland was Chairman of the Norwood School Committee during the eight-year period from 1921-1929. Perusal of town records over the period of the past twenty-five years reveals his untiring efforts in the interest of better education and public service for our community lie was a person of deep insights and profound convictions —time to him meant nothing, work was a pleasure — and the quality and completeness of his thoughts and actions identify him as a keen analyst of all problems which relate to improvement of opportunities for better living for all men.

‘‘Acknowledgment and evidence of his capacity for leadership of quality and character are to be found in his works,—as a writer, a teacher, and economist and a planning engineer.

“Doctor Cleveland was a man of the world To be sure, he worked and lived at home, but his interests knew no bounds—he knew and lived mankind. His counsel and advice were sought after my nations as well as by communities and by individual men who needed his help Here, all knew, could be found an able, helpful and willing hand.

“We arc glad that we knew him. —that we know and appreciate his works. While his shadow is silhouetted, all over our schools and our playgrounds as a living and perpetual testimonial to his valued services, he lives especially in the Henry O. Peabody School for Girls which represents the fulfillment of one of his greatest hopes—a work which was completed in the last few years of his life—an effort which, though a source of joy and satisfaction to him. must just as surely have levied a severe toll upon his failing strength.

“We resolve: That these, out sentiments shall spread upon the1 records of the Norwood School Committee.

That we would have our feeling known to the people of Norwood, through the services of the Norwood Daily Messenger, and That we shall send to Doctor Cleveland’s son, Linsay, a copy of this Resolution.
