versary Of the installation of the Rev.
Samuel r. Calthrop, ID. D., the eminent
divine who so long has ministered to them
spirituality as pastor of the Church.
Mr.. Calth-op was born in England and
caieed his preparatory scholastic training
q, S.. Paui's School, London. Entering
Trinity College, Cambridge. he sooa became
o bright figure in that brilliant coierie OF
scholars, literary men and wits that followed
in the traditions of Maeaulay and his associ-
ates at the university. In the mil lie of the
century he visited Syracuse and received
his first impressions of the young city that
nelrlya score of years later he was to choose
as his home and in which his labors have
been 50 long and effective. The mastery
pulpit aldrcSses of DR.. Calthrop have had
their fundan nntals drawn from the deepest
research. His people have hcen instructed
by him, not only in things spiritual, but IN
the elements of the broalest culture, in lit
erature, in art and in science. His young
mea have been taught muscular system OF
ni1rality. In these aaa in many other ways
has he enleared himself to his congregation.

anil wealthy in the city.
Dr. Calthrop has a striking personality.
To the eye he is a most picturesque figure
Ills haid and face, framed in luxuriant mas
SIS OF silky, snow white hair and beard, are
of the type of Bryant and Longfellow. Al
though over seventy years old, his rather
spare figure is firm and erect, and every
movement is active and graceful. His who'll
life long he has been an ardent admrer ans
rrarSter of athletic sports, and even at hi
advanced age, plays tennis with all the vigo
and skin Of young man. To Syracusans
perhaps this remarkably versatile man !
most widely known, apart from his profes
sion, rs q scientist.
