 Agricultural science in the United States owes much to the influences which have gone out from the Sheirield school. John P. Norton, John A. For ter, Samuel w. Johnson, William H. Brewer, each in his own peculiar way, has rendered much service. Johnson IS resentment, and in addition to his standing as a chemist, is honored as one of the first and most persuasive ad- vocates of the Experimental stations now maintained, with the aid of the government, in every part of the coun- try. We cannot forget the value of the crops" may forget how much their value has been enhanced by the quiet, inconspicuous, patient and acute observations of such men as those whom I have named, the men behind the men who stand behind the plough. They are the followers in our genera tion of Jared Eliot, the colonial advo- cate of agricultural science.
 In the thirties there was an informal association which may be called vol untary syndicate for the study Of astronomy. It's members were young men of talents. enthusiasm and genu- inc desire to advance the bounds Of human knowledge, but their time was absorbed by various vacations, and their apparatus seems lamentahly made uuate in these days of Lick and Yerkes, of spectroscopes, heliometers and photography. Yet we may truly claim that the example and success of these Yale brethren initiated that zeal for astronomical research which distin- guishes our countrymen.
 The most brilliant lumihary in the constellation was Ebenezer Porter Ma son, a genius, who died at twenty-tWo, having made a profund impression on his contemporaries by discoveries, ob- servations, computations and delinea- tions. Under the leadership of Olmsted, Herricll, Bradley, Loomis and Hamil- ton l.. Smith were associate observers, and they were afterwards re-enforced by Twinne, Lyman and Newton. Chauvenet became a writer and teach CT of ren6wn and Stoddard carried to the Nestorians the telescope that he had made at Yale under the syndicate's influence.
 The astronomical syndicate of Olm- sted and his pupils was long ago dis solved, but it's spirit hovers near us, and beyond Sachem's Wood, in the Winchester Observatory, skilled as- tronomers with their great heliometer are engaged upon problems which were not even thought of by the discerning intellect of Mason and his brilliant con- freres,
 In the science of mineralogy Yale has long maintained the American leader ship. Every one of us had heard the story of the candle box of specimens, which Silliman carried to Philadelphia to be named and every one of us has seen the subsequent accretions to the nucleus, beginning with the Gibbs cabi- net, now shown in the Peabody Muse um In view of it's recent acquisition, I am tempted to speak of the Museum as the House of the Dinosaur' It's choice collections give an epitome of the sciences of mineralogy, crystal lography, meteoroids, geology palaeon- toIogy, and natural history, from the days of Silliman to those of the Danas, Brush, Marsh and Verrill.
 The heart of university is it's li- brary If that is vigorous, every part of the body is benefited Our college began with books; the incunabula were given by tie founders, good books no doubt. if not a single volume relating to classical literature or the sciences were among them. Noteworthy access sions came at an early day, some or them from Elihu Yale.
 Photographers and librarians are the servants of the temple-servi servorum academoe-and such as Edward C. Herrick, Henry Steven Stevens, Will jam r. Poole and James Hammond Trumbull, are rare men, conspicuous among the promoters of historical re- search
 Scant justice has been done in this discourse to the sciences promoted at YaIe-and the deficiency is the more apparent when I think of the men now living whose work has been precluded from our scope. The next centennial discourse may do justice to them. Among the departed whose careers were made outside the walls of Yale, Percival, the geologist of Connecticut and Wisconsin; J. D. Whitney, the geologist of California; Chauvenet, the mathematician; Hubbard, the astrono- mer: Sulivant, the chief authority in mosses as Eaton is in ferns, F. A. P. Barnard. the accomplished president of Columbia Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin, and S. F. B. Morse, whose name is familiar from it's rela- tion to the electric telegraph--are especially entitled to honorable men, ton in this jubilee. So is much older graduate, David Bushnell, the inventor of submarine explosives-the precursor of the modern torpedists.
 This honored and reverend seminary has taught thousands of men of talent to be wise and good citizens, avoiding avarice and pretense, ready for service wherever Providence might call them, in education, philanthropy, diplomacy, statesmanship church work, literature and science: not a few men of genius have submitted themselves to her dis cipline and acknowledged the inspira ton derived from her counsels; some of her sons have laid down their lives
