In addition, to hi bachelor ' s degree, Dr. Buchanan took a C.E. at Cumberland University in 1853 under Gen. A. P. Stewart, who was head of the Department of Civil Engineer- ing- at that time. When the war broke out he joined the Southern army as an engineer. Here he won his spurs and obtained wide note among his corps. In fact his surveys and reports were relied upon implicitly, never being ques- tioned. For twenty years he held a position on the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. To him also is due the magnificent geodetic survey of the State of Tennessee. He formed one of the parties which observed the solar eclipse of 1900 from Thomaston, Ga. His particular problem was first to get the length and direction of the streamers of the corona; second, to observe the shadow bands, their direction and velocity ' ; third, to make observations of the darkness, all of which was done accurately and satisfactorily. For the laLt two years he has served as Tennessee ' s representa- tive on the board to settle the dispute over the Tennessee-Virginia line. He was elected to the Chair of Mathematics in Cumberland University in 1870, and Dean of the College in 190O. Jas. S. Waterhousc, A.M., Natural Sciences Jamks S.

During this year also he received his Master ' s degree. On the resignation of Dr. Hinds he was elected to the professorship of Natural Sciences. In addition to the work Prof. Waterhouse has taken in Cumberland, he has spent several summers in the University of Chicago. In 1901 he was elected a member of the American Chemical Society and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
