|/AWe regret to announce the death
Of Professor r. ID. G. Robbins, which
took place at his residence at Newton
Highlands, Massachusetts,, on Friday,
the. Sd instant. Professor Robbins was
a graduate of Middlebury College, of
the class of 1885, and of Andover The
illogical Seminary. His health, how
ever, was never firm and he never APP
piled for ordination to the ministry.
He devoted himself to linguistic stud
les, and was for many years professor
of Greek in Middlebury college, and
most of the time he filled the chair of
Latin also. His we'll known Xeno-
phon's Memorabilia, which has long
been favorite text book in many COL
leges, was prepared during his
pofesorate here. He severed his
connection with the college in 1872,
and removed to Massachusetts,, where
he has devoted himself to literary la
bors, portion of the time teaching
Hebrew at Andover Seminary. lie
contributed frequently to the Biblio-
theca Sacra and other publications, and
edited the works of Professor Stuart.
Professor Robbins was pleasant, re-
fined gentleman, though of retiring
disposition, and many generations Of
students of the college remember him
with kindly thoughts. His age was
seventy years. The sympathy of many
warm friends is extended to his accom-
plished wife and daughter in the loss
they have sustained. II
