and the truly scientific man can abide nothing that does not fit its place. It was not true that you could hear, as Holmes has said, the cog-wheels working in his brain. They were so perfectly meshed that there was no sound connected with their motion. Dr. Mendenhall resigned from the Institute in 1890 to take charge of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, a position in which his signal ability as a scientist will find a more extensive field for practical application. DReas RAB DDY. Dr. Eppy, who succeeded Dr. Mendenhall in 1891, at the zenith of the latter’s popularity in the school, has had, for that very reason, a difficult position to fill. There is nothing more difficult than to successfully follow a man who has resigned when at the height of success, who has, as it were, gone off in a blaze of glory, and carried all thoughts with him into an uncertain region of indefinite possibilities. Such a man has not only reaped the crop of his own cultivation, but he has ex- hausted the fertility of the field, to a certain extent, for response to succeeding efforts in the same direction. Dr. Eddy has been successful, and, for the short time he has been in the Insti- tute, that is saying a great deal. He has been called upon to decide several questions which could not have been decided so as to please every one, and we think it will be found that, in the long run, his decisions are not only for the best interests of the school, but also for the best interests of the student himself. Dr. Eddy is a scholarly man, a student of books; perhaps inclined a little to abstract speculation, yet thoroughly practical in school affairs. Somewhat re- served and undemonstrative by nature, we think his warm interest and sympathy with the students, in whatever they undertake, has been abundantly demonstrated. With such a man at its head, there is no fear but that the Institute will develop as rapidly and progressively as could be desired.
