PROFESSOR R. j. MORRISON.

historical chair Of Wilrio- mary So"eee'~
Mr.. Morrison's trends may we'll congratulate him
on such q merited success. He has attained
. position second to none in literary requirement
among all the high places Of scholarship in
Virginia. Indeed. il would be scarcely possible to
constitute a PROFESSIONAL chair, more urgently requir'
ing the incumbency Of u man armed at all points
No branch Of study, 10 course Of reading whatever,
osn fail TO add efficiency to the labors of a professor
of History. That one department of LEARNING COM
prehends, partially at least, every branch OF science
Law and government, ethnology, classic lore
nns srts, social peculiarities and progress. the exact
sciences, Religions all this, and more, must be dill
gently studied to comprehend in philosophical com
p~leteness the science of history, which may itself be
called the compendium of science. A complete his.
torisn must fiji up the measure of the ideal man OF
ancient philosophers. :
To be deemed worthy Of the position which has
been assigned to Morrison by a board Of distinguish.
ed citizens, ia a most enviable compliment. We
have every assurance that it is we'll deserved. The
guerdon has been won by q long and earnest devc-
ton of the best energies OF a vigorous mind and a
powerful physique to the cultivation of a wide range
Of scholarship.
So far as the interests of the College are concern
ed, it is matter Of congrstulstion that Mr.. Morrison
IL not a mere closet man. He is a teacher by profes.
sion, and has busted himself equally in the task Of inn
parting as Ia that of acquiring knowledge. More-
over, he is a man of social habits, a Virginian with a
large circle of friends in the State. and thus eminent.
y qualified to popularize the institution with whose
interests he identifies his own. We have many rea-
cons to reverence and cherish old William and Mary,
and We call upon our accomplished and fortunate
tDwnsman to spare no effort in her behalf. He has
accepted a high task, for which we believe him emf
pentiy competent, and We intend to hold him to a
strict account of lie thorough performance. For

ANOTHER CONTRIBUTION TO THE MOUNT
VERNON FUND.

Mrs. EI.President Tyler during her recent visit
to Richmond, paid into the Mount Vernon Treasury
500 which che had collected by her ~exertions in
Charles City county. This lovely and accomplished
lady, 10 one of the chiefornaments Of the Association,
and the contribution she has just made proves the
energy with which che has espoused the cause, and
the spirit of patriotism which adds its lustre to her
other grsces. II her worthy example were followed
by aome prominent lady ia every county, there would
no longer exist g doubt that the full payment for
Mount Vernon would be made before the next 22d Of
February. A few more such ladies is all that the
cause now demands.
We were pleased TO find that Ex-President Tyler,
who passed a few days in Richmond, was much i'm
proved In health and seemed to enjoy his usual fine
dov of spirits.
