In point of professional ability and experience,

know lodged to bear favorable comparison with any

creasing practice, with habits of close study and re-
search, which many of their juniors would do well to
emulate, identifies them with the onward march OF the
science in their respective departments. Several of
them have filled positions of influence in other insti-
tutiens others known to fame by their contribu-
tons to the treasury of scientific lore and polite lit
