F mm 1894 to 1897, in addition to being President of the University of Tennessee, Dr. Dabney was Assistant Sec- retary of Agriculture, and in 1897 he was appointed Special Agent of Scientific Investigations for the Department of Agriculture. The people of the South are thoroughly acquainted with his work as a member of the Southern Education Board, and also with the part which he has played in the development of the Summer School of the South. Dr. Dabney is a member of numerous societies and organizations throughout the country, and is a trustee of the Washington Memorial Institution. He is a member of Phi Gamma Delta, and was one of the leaders of the movement which led to the estab- lishment of the honorary fraternity of Phi Kappa Phi. In recognition of these manifold services to science and educa- tion, in 1901 the degree LL. D. was conferred upon Dr. Dabney by Yale and John Hopkins Universities. As Dr. Dabneyis connection with the University is of especial local interest, let us look at some of the facts of this connection. Some idea of the growth of the University of Tennessee under Dr. Dabney's administration may be gained from a statement of the increase in the number and value of its buildings and equipment. There are at present nearly three times as many buildings on the Hill and 8 F arm 8 as there were in 1888, and their value has increased seven.- fold. Furthermore, the income of the University has been more than doubled. This statement has all the more significance when it is recalled that all these improvements and building have been obtained without one dollar of appropriation from the State. No institution in the country can show a greater productiveness in proportion to the amount of its funds than the University of Tennessee, and when we consider the vastness of the undertaking and the necessity of increasing the expenditures to maintain the work in a respectable manner, the results appear truly remarkable. The development of the University from other points of view has been equally gratifying. Beginning with a corps of eight professors and seven instructors in 1887-88, the faculty has steadily increased until it now includes forty-iive members, twenty-three of whom are professors. Moreover, the Experiment Station, which commenced with a corps of seven, now has a staff of thirteen experts and assistants, and the development in its work has been not less remarkable than what has already been noted in the case of the University. It has been very favorably mentioned in the reports of the United States Department of Agriculture, and the Station is now regarded as one of the foremost in the country. After sixteen years of faithful and devoted service, Dr. Dabney leaves the University of Tennessee, with our sincerest regret, to labor in a new field for the cause he loves so well; and we do not doubt but that he will soon develop the efficiency and influence of the University of Cincinnati quite as rapidly as he has done in the case of the University of Tennessee.
