Origin of the Corps Of Professors Of '"eJ Il

.r.~,-yF - Mathematics.
Before the Naval academy was es-
tablished midshipmen -receiyedt their.
education entirely on board ship Their
technical education was obtained in
the school Of seEperfefiteit ohAbeR Sati
occasionally by the Gy8lu hteanrtyyo Efforts
Of the Older. line ,offieers.,9f'nT' heiIEa' gen
eral education was at first neglected,
but later instructors were appointed
for service on ships that carried mid
shipmen. These were appointed by
the secretary Of the navy for stated
periods, much as civilian instructors
at the Naval academy are appointed
at the present time. In 1912 general
order was issued providing that they
should live and mess with lieutenants.
They were commissioned in 1913, but
specific rank was not given them until
the general reorganization of all staff
corps during the civil war
The late Professor Fl. ii. Lockwood.
q. S. ~, in some very interesting rem
iniscences read before the Naval
Academy Graduates association in
1893 relates how the corps of profess
sors of mathematics came to be form
ed. In the early days of the Naval
academy he was one of it's instructors.
He had had service in the army, and
in the development Of the course of in
structiOn he determined, after consul
tation with the superintendent. - give
the midshipmen little infantry drill
This did not suit the proud spirits Of
the young gentlemen of that day, and
to show their disapproval of this and
other efforts of the professor they hung
him in effigy. An investigation and a
court martial followed on the charge
of insulting a superior officer.
The defense put up the plea that the
instructor was not superior officer
Such a condition is hard to understand
at this time, when the status of Off
GERS, instructors and midshipmen at
the Naval academy is we'll defined, but
at that time midshipmen were officers,
while instructors had no official stand
ing The plea was technically correct,
and to punish the guilty midshipmen it
was found necessary to substitute
charges IN which the anOuudiOuS posi-
ton of the professor in the naval serv-
ice could not be made to enter Upon
these the guilty midshipmen were con-
demned and punished.
This incident led to an amendment
in the naval appropriation bill of 1913
giving authority for the commissioning
of twelve professors of mathematics

still retain their popularity in the east

these vessels were made Of carefully

called jackboots. Owing to the popu-

The Greeks of Pergamus are said to
the skins Of the goat or sheep. They
were curried, deprived of all fat,
thinned uniformly by the knife, dyed
or whitened and finally rubbed down

even surface. Called pergamenum from
the city of its origin, the new mate
rial became parchemin in archaic
French and parchment in the English
tongue.-National Magazine

One Of the most interesting sights of

grewsome one is the Chapel Of Bones.
Guides who show visitors round the
island never fail to point this out The
whole Of the sides, arches and about
the altar are the skulls and crossbones
Of the long departed monks. In inches
round the chapel stand skeletons of
monks in their habits. On either side of
the altar stands a skeleton represent
ing Father Time with scythe. Stand

not but admire and wonder at the reg
ular manner in which the skulls and
