Century Memorial
Julius Sachs was a familiar visitor at the Club-house, where his quiet and serious conversation always played its part in the exchange of views. Completing more than sixty years ago his course of study at Columbia and the European universities, he conducted for thirty-five years the New York schools which he founded, first for boys and then for girls, occupying afterward a chair in the Teachers’ College. Doctor Sachs was a man of unostentatious learning and of forward-looking instincts; he has left his impression on the city’s work of education.
