pointed the first principal of the State Normal
School at Albany, Ny. On accepting the ap-
pointment, he was heard to say in view Of bis re-

tered upon and prosecuted his work with the same
determined spirit Indicated by this expfession.-
The enterprise was new and unpopular in the State,
but under bis judicious management, and with his
enthusiasm and perseverance. the school was a
perfect success. He had accomplished his object,
and gained an enviable position, as one Of the
leading educational men of the age. But excessive
labor and crushing cares at length proved too much
tor his feeble constitution and he sank to his rest.
The following beautiful lines by Mrs. Sigournsy,
were written as a tribute to his memory, soon after
