Thomas Jonathan Burvtll H.flD., fl b.2 ., %%.2 . Dean of the general faculty, was born in Pittsfield, Mass., April 25, 1839. He graduated from the Illinois State Normal University in 1865. He then became superintendent of the Urbana schools, which position he held for three years. In 1870 he was ap- pointed professor of botany and horticulture, his present position. In 1878 he was made botanist of the Illinois State Laboratory of Natural History. In 1882 he was appointed vice president of the university; was acti ng regent of the university from 1889 to 1894; served as horticulturist and botanist of the agricultural experiment station since 1888. Professor Burrill early adopted his chief specialties, cryptogamic botany and the parasitic diseases of plants. He was the first among American investigators to give special attention to the latter subject. His writings have for the most part been confined to reports upon his investigations. Probably his pamphlets on Bacteria (7882), and that upon the Parasitic Fungi of Illinois (1885 to i887), have attracted the most attention. o flatban CUtfotb IRicfcer, JS.S., fll . Hrcb. Professor of architecture, and dean of the college of engineering, was born in Acton, York county, Maine, in 1843. He entered the University of Illinois in 1870, pursuing an architectural course as far as practicable at that time, making up the deficiencies by studies in civil engineering. During his last two terms as student he was placed in temporary charge of the architectural department. Immediately after graduation in 1873 he left for Europe, spending a semester in study at the Barr Akademic in Berlin. While in the old country he visited the Vienna Exposition, Dresden, Paris, London and numerous other cities, studying the historical buildings. He returned in 1873 to take the position of instructor in architecture. In 1876 he was made professor of archi- tecture, and in 1878 he was appointed dean of the college of engineeiing, which posi- tion he has admirably filled. Taking charge of the architectural department in its infancy, he has seen it grow to be one of the best, not only in the university, but in the United States. He has written works on Trussed Roofs, History of Architecture, Architectural Drawing ; also a translation from the French of Planat ' s Heating and Ventilation, and a translation from the German of Redtenbacher ' s Architektonik. I am the very pink of courtesy. — Fred Halt,.

as he was not a pedagogical expert, only for the period of reorganization. In two years, feel- ing that the fundamental principles of the new organization had been firmly established, he announced his purpose to resign. Every newspaper in the city expressed regret, but his judgment was unalterable. At about the same time he was elected to the presidency of the State University of Illinois. His administration there has kept pace with his previous work. Appropriations have increased and buildings have multiplied. The instructional force and the number of students have doubled. President Draper was President pf the National Association of School Superintendents in iSSg- ' go and iSgo- ' gi- He was chairman of the sub-committee of the celebrated Committee of Fifteen on the details of school organization, and prepared the report of the Committee which has become a standard document upon that very intricate and important subject. He has written much upon many phases of educational work and has made addresses before edu- cational assemblages in nearly every state of the union. And she is fair, and fairer tlian that word, of wond ' rous virtue. — Phoebe Parker.
