A good many people in this part O
Vermont, and especially in this town
will regret very much the fact an
nounced i'll the last COngregatiOnalist
as follows "The appointment of a
competent educator to fill the import
ant place just vacated by Prof. Charles
o. Thompson, at the head of the WOr
cester Free Institute of Technology,
is a matter of more than local import
ance. The choice has fallen on Prof
Homer r. Fuller, Phi. d., graduate OF
| Dartmouth and student of theology at
| Andover, of high rank in both institu-
tions, and before this sought for prom
inent New England college professor
ships. His most considerable work as
teacher has brought the st. Johns
bury (Vt.) Academy to Il high place
among New England schools. He en-
tiers upon his Worcester field in the
autumn" We have no doubt that Mr.
Fuller makes this change expecting
the new position will be easier for him,
| his duties here having been Il severe
tax upon his somewhat impaired health
but the loss to the place and to the
Academy will be great.
