the seventh quinquennial election of
the college of electors of the Hall of
Fame Comprising 106 men and women,
representing all the States of the
Union), names have been added to
the Hall Of Fame-those, namely, of
James A. Mcneil Whistler, James

dates" included j. Willard Gibbs, our
greatest man of science, indeed among
the supremely shining lights of science;
Thoreau, one of the half dozen greatest
American names in literature and con-
sidered by many the greatest Of all
nature writer's; William Penn; Stone
wall jackson, perhaps the greatest corps
commander the world has seen, and
Nathaniel Greene, whom some not too

promote the development of adequate
oceanic weather charts and to facilitate
