As there will be a curiosity among students to know something regarding the new professors, the Courier will anticipate the impressions derived from personal contact in the class room by giving a short sketch of their past work. Both Prof. Smith and Prof. Patrick, who have just left us, enjoyed the warmest friendship of the students, who look upon their departure with deep regret. Both, we believe, are on the road to scientific fame, and would have built up for their departments a worthy reputation. But, coupled with sorrow at their loss, our students will feel delighted at knowing their successors are men whose past experiences give every proof that they will add to the luster of this institution.
PROF. E. A. S. BAILEY, Ph. D.-At their last meeting during commencement the regents selected Professor Bailey to take the chair of Professor of Chemistry, calling him from a similar position in Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he is considered as a proficient scientist, and able instructor. He was educated at the Sheffield Scientific School, of Yale College. While there, and for one year after graduation, he was an assistant in the chemical laboratory. In 1874 he was elected instructor in chemistry at Lehigh, where he gained an excellent reputation as a finished scholar. His attention has been largely occupied in investigations on commercial ores, such as those of iron, zinc, etc, For several years he has furnished
articles for leading chemical journals and is regarded as a very able writer. In 1881 he spent considerable time in travel and study in Europe, attending lectures and working in the labratories of Prof. Tittig and Kundt, at the Kaiser Wilhelm University, Strasburg, Germany. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy was conferred upon him upon examination by the Illinois Wesleyan University.
PROF. EDWARD L, NICHOLS, PH. D. We are sorry that Prof. Nichols' talents are not to be supplied with facilities equal to those offered Prof. Bailey. But after all it is the teacher and not the apparatus that mostly incites the students to higher excellence. Moreover, one may bring the other, and our legislature may yet absorb the idea that one of Prof. Nichols' eminence is worthy better instruments than a smoke-house for an observatory, and a stove-pipe for a telescope. The Professor came from Central College, Kentucky, to accept the chair of astronomy and physics in our University. His education has been long and thorough. Graduating high at Cornell, he crossed the Atlantic, for several years made researches under the direction of Germany's distinguished physicist, Helmholtz, and received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Berlin University. Returning to this country he placed himself under the instruction of America's prodigy, Edison. John Hopkin's University honored him with a scholarship. Some of the most prominent scientific journals of this country and Germany secured him as a regular contributor. Altogether our institution may feel proud at having obtained his services.
