Through the efforts of Mr. E. P. Powell, of College Hill, Mr- Shepard was retained in the College after graduation as Curator of the Cabinet of Natural History, 792-3. During the year he also pursued studies in Philology and Biology for the degree of A. M., presenting' theses, which have been preserved in the College Library, on The Structure of End-buds in Fishes, and HA Study of the Vowels in the Ohazzsonr de Roland. ln commenting upon the latter Work, Professor Brandt said that it was fully equal to many theses presented in this or any foreign country for the degree of doctor of philosophy. During the spring term Mr. Shepard was given additional work by the College as Instructor in Botany, and became a member of the Faculty. On the 22d of February, 18510, Mr. Shepard received the degree of Ph. D., magna cum laude, at Heidelberg, Where, under Professors Osthoff and Neumann, he had pursued his favorite study of Philology since the fall of '93. The subject of the thesis presented by him at this time Was, A Contribution to the History of the Unaccented Vowels in Old French. He also heard several lectures at the Sorbonne, Paris, and spent some time in Florence, Italy, studying Italian. At Heidelberg he was a member of' the student association, .LV-8Zl-.PlLZAtUlOff'Z'SC7LC'7' Ve?-ein. In the spring of 796 Dr. Shepard returned to Hamilton College to- assist in the department of modern languages as Associate Professor of French, Italian and Romance Philology. This position he is abundantly able to ill, and it is an open secret that the students admire his work and respect and love the man. The HABIILTONIAN desires to pay him the highest compliment in its power, and is glad also to present to its readers his photograph, which. appears as the frontispiece of this volume. 9
