from the University of Missouri, Uni versitv of Pennsylvania, Yale Univer- sity and from Princeton University A. NJ, P. H. D., Brown University and from the University of Jena, Germany.
 Dr. Harris was truly q great man, great in mental capacity, great in planning and great in endurance and achievement. With all his greatness he was one of the most modest men l ever knew, simple in his tastes, plain but neat in dress, he lost no time in considering the changes of fashion or the demands of the social world.
 To stranger he might have seemed cold and reserved, but those who knew him best believed him to be warm friend and wise counselor.
 He had nothing to do with partisan politics and was no office seeker, but he was ever ready to explain iucidly the principles of political economy. He would clearly point out the func- tions of the school, the state, and the church, and show the duties of each in a great government
 eThough seldom speaking of religious matters, and holding strongly to the opinion that mans relation to his maker was a personal matter to De de- cided by himself in accordance with the dictates of his own conscience, II IS well known that he was believer m the christian religion aud in measures for its extension.
 He was an interpreter of history, an analvzer Of political institutions, de fender of civil and moral law, and friend Of the true and right wherever found.
 Though perhaps but little known, or appreciated, in his native stale while living. the time may come when hts contributions to education. philosophy and the higher knowledge may give him his true rank among the great men of his country.

Specifying and describing these e. isses, he then shows that there fs a class oi subjects and diseiplines which cannot on any account be permitted to foreign nations, and this defined the limits of cooperation. He then pro eeeds to show what truths and prinei. pies are common, and on what lines there may be GO operation and to what extent our methods and teaching may be introduced in European nations and the nations of the East.
 His reports as U. S. Commissioner of Education were marvels for fulness and accuracy His work in other or. ganizations was evidence of his untir- ing industry.
 He was elected member of the American Historical Association and a fellow of the American Association for the advancement of science. He founded The Philosophic Society of St. Louis and in all these societies was an active member.
 He founded, edited and published the Journal of Speculative Philosophy, was one of the editors of Johnson 8 Universal Cyclopedia; the sole editor of Appleton's International Series, of the translation of Fichte, Science of Ethics and he was editor in chief of Webster's New International Diction- ary recently published and the author Of several philosophic and educational works.
 Besides the necessary consultation of books for his regular work, he was a great reader. Some months before his death he said to friend, al have now commenced the reading of Hegel's Philosophy of History for the seven- teenth time and shall get more out of 1t at this reading than al any other time.h
 His learning and high attainments were recognized by literary institu- lions. Receiving the degree of X. NJ. from Tale in course in lse9, he after wards received the degree of IL. D.
