hours and strength to private study and give the students only the drippings of their wisdom. This fact explains why so many specialists are poor teachers. The class of teachers to which Professor Comstock belongs, look for reward less in books which bear their name, than in the manhood ofthe students they have helped to develop. It is the writeris conviction that of the hundreds of students who have been under the instruction of the Professor, there are none who would not bear glad witness to his untiring devotion to their best interests. To the narrowness of the specialist he may not plead guilty. Educated in a college of liberal arts, he has ever been an advocate of culture. Lectures on literature would not seem quite in the line of scientific work, but for a well- read, broadly educated man, the task has proved light. For him, literature is the handmaid of science, a sweet and comely maiden, whose companionship relieves life of its monotony. In the University Extension Movement he has delivered several courses of lectures which have been well attended and well received. A swift, quiet worker, he turns off work easily. Pos- sessed ot Dame Nature with a philosophic temperament and a goodly supply of self-confidence-not too much-he meets daily duty with equanimity. Of serious ministerial mien, his countenance doth yet belie his disposition. Tradition saith his college pranks were many. Certain it is, his jokes are part of current history. Of his scientific attainments and his training, the courses he offers, the well-ordered museum and library of his depart- ment are the best proof. Politically he is a Republican of the independent type. In his church affiliations, a Presby- terian, of the liberal type. In the life of the Greater Case,we may well believe that the Professor of Natural I-Iistory will bulk more and more largely 5 new honors will come to him, new responsibilities 3 and when he shall have taught his last class, and cracked his last joke- on this side--the sons of the boys who now dedicate this Annual to him as a token of their esteem, will inscribe on his tomb : A Good Man and a Wise Man 5 Our Friend and Our Daddies' Friend.
