with enthusiasm the studies of his depart
ment. He now returns to his Alnla Ma
ter, and will have as a colleague in the
Faculty his former instructor in Natural
Science, Prof. Traill Green, NJ. d. 1t is
enough to say Of Prof. Porter that he is
a worthy pupil of one of the most emf
nent scholars and one of the most thor
ough instructors that our contry has pro-
duced. The Rev H. S. Osborn, LII. D.,
who takes the chair of Mining and Met
allurgy, was formerly Professor in Roanoke
College. He is widely known among men
of science for his original researches, and
for many valuable discoveries He has
published a number of books of great
learning, and the Trustees of the College
may we'll congratulate themselves and the
public on having secured his services
Prof. Charles III. Hitchcock, A. NJ, of
Amherst College, and recently Chief of
the Geological surveys of Maine and
North Carolina, takes the chair Of Geol-
ogy and Mineralogy. No one is unac-
.quainted with the name of his honored
father, President Hitchcock, one of the
pioneers in Geology, and one of the ablest
sauans in this or any other country
Prof H. is said to possess much of the
genius and enthusiasm Of his father,
though young has already achieved
distinguished reputation in his favorite
department. Mr.. Meigs, the Tutor in
Engineering, and a graduate of Lafayette,
we hear good accounts. He has been
connected nearly four years with the En-
gineering department of the Reading Rail
Road, in which he has won deserved and
rapid promotion.
Of course, all the members of the
present able Faculty share in the instruc-
ton to be given in this scientific course,
and we must not omit to say that Tutor Sell
den Coffin, A. NJ, was promoted to the Ad-
junct Professorship of Mathematics, a
position he has fairly earned by his ac-
quisitions in this department, as, well as
his original ability and skill as an Instruc-
tor.
Taking therefore the present members
of the Faculty with the new Professors
elected, and the three to be chosen in
July, Lafayette College will have Board
of Instruction not surpassed In numbers
or ability by any Institution in the coun-
try so that the value of Mr.. Pardee's no.
bic gift is greatly enhanced. In no 9TH
er way could he have invested, his mo-
ney SO advantageously to the caues Of
semitic education. The Philadelphia
Telegraph in recent editorial highly
eulogistic of Mr.. Pardee, refers to this,
and says,
"He has done wisely, too, in connect
ing the scientific school with an existing
college rather than in founding new
one. The multiplication of colleges is
not always an advantage. They may be
so crowded as to interfere with each 9TH
er, and so retard, rather than advance,
the work of higher education. Moreover,
this arrangement secures the colleteral
aid of the professors already at their posts
in the College, and thus, without addi-
tional expense, contributes large and
experienced working force to the new
Faculty"
