BIOGRAPHICAL. 17 President JOHN BASCOM, D. D., LL. D., was born at Genoa, N.Y., May i, 1827. He fitted for college at Homer, N.Y., and graduated at Williams College in 1849. After graduating, he read law for one year at Rochester, N. Y., but never entered its practice. After having attended the Auburn and Andover Theological Seminaries, he graduated from the latter in 1855. During this year he was elected Professor of Rhetoric in Williams College. On account of an affection of the eyes, which rendered him almost blind, he was obliged to perform all of his literary work through the assistance of an amanuensis. Amherst College bestowed the degree of Doctor of Laws upon him in 1873, and Grinnell College that of Doctor of Divinity in 1875. During his Professorship at Williams College, he was absent on a visit to Europe one year. In 1874 he was called to the Presidency of the University of Wisconsin. He has published “Political Economy” (1859); “Aesthetics” (1862); “Philosophy of Rhetoric” (1865); “Principles of Psychology” (1869); “Science, Philosophy and Religion” (1871); “Philosophy of English Literature” (1874); “Philosophy of Religion” (1876); “Comparative Psychology” (1878); “Ethics” (1879); “Natural Theology” (1880); “Science of Mind” (1882); “The Words of Christ as Principles of Individual and Social Growth” (1884). Dr. Bascom’s contributions to periodicals have been numerous. Among others, “Intuitive Ideas,” “Utili-tarianism,” “Conscience,” “ Cause and Effect,” “The Human Intellect,” “Instinct,” “The Influence of the Press,” “The Influence of the Pulpit,” “ The Nation,” “ Taine’s English Literature,” “ Prof. Albert Hopkins,” “Consciousness,” seven articles on “The Natural Theology of Social Sciences,” which have appeared in the Bibliothica Sacra; “ Hickok’s Empirical Psychology,” in the North American Review; “The Laws of Political Economy in their Moral Relations,” “ Review of Buckle’s History of Civilization,” in the New Englander; “ The Relations of Intuitions to Thought and 'rheology,” “Consciousness : What is it?” “Inspiration and the Historic Element in Scriptures,” “ Darwin’s Theory,” “ Evolution,” in the Presbyterian Review; “The Foci of the Social Eclipse,” in Putnam’s Magazine.
