JSAVITARQ against his fellows. It was much to the regret and against the pro- test of the entire Faculty that Dr. Litton resigned as chemist in St. Louis Medical College and Washington University, for they felt that his high ideals and unceasing efforts had done much to raise the stand- ard of their work and advance the reputation they had gained. Dr. Litton's work, however, has been beneficial not only to the schools of the state, but alsofto the people in general. In 1854, in the employ of the Missouri State Geological Survey, he made an examina- tion of the lead regions of Southeast Missouri. He has the honor of being the first man to make a scientific investigation and complete re- port of the geological conditions of that part of the state. ' It will no doubt be of interest to our readers to know that Dr. Litton was at one time a member of the Faculty in Missouri State University, being a Professor of Chemistry here in 1849. This event awakened in him an interest in the institution which he retained until the end of his life, leading him to present to it in 1887 his large and valuable scientific library consisting of some fifteen hundred to two thousand volumes, many of which are very rare and expensive These works comprise some of the best writings of English French and German scientists The gift was not only valuable in itself but has been the means of establishing a scientific library which if properly cared for will be of mestimable value at some not far distant date He also contributed recently to the different laboratories of the Um versity several thousand dollars worth of physical apparatus This is probably the most choice apparatus of its kind which has ever been in our laboratories For all this generosity and liberality to the great University of the State of Missouri we take this means of paying tribute to the memory of that noble man 44 I l Q ' 1 I , .
