At a meeting of the students of iiohart College. held November 1. 1872. tin following expression was given to their retiret at the loss liv death of the Kew I)r.

While we recognise in litis bereavement the hand of Him ■•whodocth all things well,'' we mourn the loss of a wise eounsellor, a faithful friend and a devoted insimetor; whose many acts of kindness and friendship will ever be cherished with fond and grateful memory in the hearts of his pupils. In the loss of l)r. MKTi'.vt.F. our college has heeu deprived of a benefac- tor to whose numerous acts of self-sacrificing devotion, in many a dark hour of ad versify, she is indebted beyond expression. In the long and useful life of our revered Professor, crowned with many Christian graces and devoted to the service of Christ and His Church, and finally consummated in a triumphant victory over death, we find an exam- ple of the exemplary citizen, the finished scholar and the Christian gentle- man, well worthy of our highest emulation. As a faint expression of our sorrow and as a tribute to his memory, Ave will wear a badge of mourning for thirty days. G. A. C-VKSTKKSKN, ) Q„„; G]•'.(), N. Eastman, | Semor ( laSb' John G.

During this year Ilobarl has been alilieted with the loss ol one ot her noblest, friends and benefactors. The Itev. Dr. Metcalf, who with his remarkable sincerity as a Christian gentleman and wise educator never lent an aiding hand without the prospect of some future good. The College was his heart, she always found in him a ready supporter, and one who wish oil, not to please the idler, but rather press on in the hcaten path to the noblest fields, which lie beyond. At bis separation front the College the students feel the loss of one of I heir best ami truest friends and one of their ablest and most faithful professors. During the last year it became necessary for the health of one of our most valued professors, Professor McDaniels, to go abroad and spend tin’ remaining part of the year, but we are only too happy t o welcome him hack again to take the chair of his department with restored health and ua- diminislied freshness and ability. We deeply regret the loss of our professor of rhetoric under whose instruction so many have been trained in the laws of oratory, and have hereby been rendered eloquent speakers, but we have only to wish that no1 more such calamities will cross the shining path of Hobart’s prosperity and success. We are greatly pleased to welcome to our faculty Professor Vail with whom we hope to spend many a happy hour, and we duly appreciate Ins sincerity and eagerness for the future weal of the College. The Faculty of Hobart has suffered no other diminutions, nor has it hern strengthened by any new addition. With the Faculty she now lots, the friends of Hobart can well be proud, and may we by our annual publication of the “Reno, and monthly maga- zine, awaken in her friends a sense of their high and noted positions among the learned both home and abroad. Hobart is constantly pressing onward in Ilic beaten path towards tlie great temple of fame. Many are her sons, and many of them have gained the noble prizes she oilers, but there are prizes yet. as many and as great ns before, which none but the earnest scholarly and honorable alone can win. which will be perennial.
