His age was 57. He had been suffering from high blood pressure since an attack of influenza a month ago.

Ever since his graduation from Dickinson College in 1893 the career of Dr. Furst was concerned directly or indirectly with education. Throughout thirty-seven busy years he was either teaching, writing books of interest to teachers and pupils or serving as an executive in a university or an organization engaged in providing funds for retired teachers.

In the period of this country's participation in the World War he was an advisor to the War Department's Committee on Education. Since 1918 he had been secretary of the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, and on many occasions he had been consulted as an expert when various plans for pensions were being developed. Dr. Furst was a trustee of the Harmon Association for the Advancement of Nursing, Spence School Retirement Fund, of the Boy Scouts National Council and the National Committee on Education.
