Eartntuutli, LUHGEQHHX 7 To such an all-round scholar, and yet'one always a specialist, devoting the greater part of' his time to the routine work of instruction, while spreading knowledge in his general field-to which, had circumstances permitted, he would gladly have devoted his whole time-all honor is due. The scholars of the generation now turning to remain- ing years of well-earned rest or renewal, are the first and most generous in their apprecia- tion of what is done, and is to be -done by their successors, enjoying tenfold greater ex- ternal advfantagesg but, after all, it remains to be proved whether the new workers will in all ways surpass their predecessors. The little Harvard faculty of half a century ago, numbering no more than twelve or fifteen men, receiving salaries of 951,500 a year, in- cluded such names as those of Agassiz, Gray, Lowell, Sophocles, Lane, Bowen, Child, and Peabody-names which it would be hard to parallel among their three hundred successors. So too, in the New Dartmouth-in which, indeed, Professor Hitchcock effectively worked for fifteen years-we gladly extend to him the assurance that our gratitude will follow him whirthersoever he may go, and that we shall look to him, in his freedom from academic drudgery, for new and valuable contributions to the literature of science.
