characterized by great farness-high praise without
unmeaDing eulogy. 1t was the caDd aud thoughtful
estimate of wel-known friend. The great work Of
Prof. Gibbs TO have been to begin, along wnh

grounds, and obscured the view of Alumni Hall and

removed since the new Scientific buildings have re-

Alumni Hall. This is now being agitated among the
friends and officers OF the University.
