PROFESSOR OF BOTANY.
The ancestry of the professor OF botany,
Edward Lee Greene, were among the early
colonists OF what is now the State OF Rhode
Island. having settled there from England
before the middle OF the seventeenth cen
tury. Prof. Greene was born near HopkiH-
ton in that State, in 1S43.
Removing with his parents in early boy
hood to Southern Wisconsin, he obtained
his literary and scientific education at
Albion Academy, from which institution
he received the degree OF bachelor of phil
osophy in 1866.
After the completion of his college
course, Mr.. Greene engaged for few years
in teaching, though continuing the pursuit
of special botanical studies; branch
of science in which he had been deeply in
terested, and which he had pursued zealously
almost from childhood.
In the beginning of the year 1870 he
made a journey to the Rocky Mountains OF
Colorado. having chiefly in view the bo-
tanical exploration of that new and in
viting field for research. Eleven years
later he was called to give a winter course
of lectures on botany in the University of
California, and in 1888 he was invited by
the Board of Regents to assume charge
of the department of botany in that instr
tuition.
This professorship, after ten years of
eminently successful occupancy, he has
resigned recently to accept the chair OF
botany in the Catholic University of Amer
lea.
Prof. Greene is a member of various
learned societies in leading cities OF
America and Europe, and the following
are among the number of his somewhat vo-
luminous botanical writings: "Pittonia,
illustrations of West American Oaks"
Flora Franciscanar and The Manual
of the Botany of the Region of San Fran
cisco Bay" ' -'-' i-'-'
