Coffin, Ph.D., Secretary of the Alumni Association. TO WHICH IS ADDED THE HISTORICAL SKETCHES OF THE COLLEGE, By Professor WILLIAM B. OWEN, A. M. EASTON, PA. : SKINNER & FINCH, PRINTERS. I8 79 . Dedica ted To ALL WHO LOVE Our Alma Mater, Copyright, 1879, By Selden J. Coffin. INTRODUCTORY. This book has been prepared at the suggestion and repeated request of many alumni of Lafayette College, who desired some permanent record of the friends of their college days for occasional consultation. It has been no part of the plan to make it a volume of eulogy, knowing that the simple record of facts could not fail to be far more acceptable to those whose names are herein contained, than any efforts at praise, however considerately bestowed or judiciously distributed. For this style of writing the compiler of this work has no affection. Feeling confident that the men of Lafayette are content that their actions shall speak for them, this book aims only at gathering those items of personal history that belong to the public, and which all readers can peruse with satisfaction, grateful that so many careers of industrious and useful effort can here be brought together. The compilation of this work has been wholly a labor of love on my part, undertaken, continued and completed without thought of other reward than that of ministering, in some slight degree, to the gratification of those who may have occasion to peruse the volume. When I was appointed secretary of the Alumni Asso- ciation, twenty years ago, in the ardor of youthful enthusiasm, I began a scrap-book to contain printed items pertaining to the careers of those who had been students in Alma Mater. This, with its succeeding volumes — for the effort proved to be in a fruit- ful direction — has been the nucleus of the present publication. Numerous circulars and letters of inquiry, sent out during the past year, brought back replies, by means of which it became IV. INTRODUCTORY. practicable to put the material so gathered into the form in which it is here presented ; and it is hoped that it will prove a con- venient hand-book for reference. Of course the presentation of so large a number of sketches, however closely condensed, gives limited room for the record of essential and interesting facts; so that I have had to exclude a good deal that would be acceptable, had it been deemed advisable to ex- tend the size of the volume. For this reason all mention of an- cestry, marriage and family connection has been omitted, except where this had relation to those who held official position in the College. In the absence of any general catalogue the greatest task that confronted me was the proper classification of the early students and the preparation of a perfect roll. In the earlier period of the history of the College, catalogues containing the names of students, and their respective classes, were issued only occasionally ; all the other records to which I have had access were of little aid in this matter, and but for the use of the Minutes of the Literary Societies, and their lists of membership, this most necessary branch of the work would have been extremely imperfect. Had it not been for this difficulty, I should have decidedly preferred some mode of arrangement that would not have divided into two separate portions those who were classmates. The statements on pages 303-5, and 329-30*, show how nearly the roll has been per- fected ; four names appear to be still wanting from the total of 2400 who have been matriculated. The deceased are designated by prefixing a star (*) to their names. In allusions to the church and the denominations of min- isters, Presbyterian is to be understood where no other denomina- tion is mentioned. In like manner Pennsylvania is to be under- stood where no State is named. In the sketches of the graduates, *By correcting the omission noted at the foot of page 330, the entire number of matriculates is 2400 ; and by inserting the name of Rev. Thomas Wilson, page 329, the number unknown, on page 305, is reduced to four. INTRODUCTORY. V. pages 9-123, the date of their entering college is given only when they are known to have joined their class at some other time than the beginning of the course ; in the case of the Former Students, however, it has been the intention to state both the dates of entrance and departure. For many items of personal interest, the reader is indebted to the columns of the Lafayette College Journal, a monthly periodical issued by the undergraduates, and conducted by them for some years past with creditable taste and energy. All readers will unite in hearty appreciation of the great value and interest of the Historical Sketches of the College, appended to this volume, prepared by Professor Owen in 1876, at the request of the United States Bureau of Education, and solicited for publi- cation by a formal vote of the Alumni Association. I shall be glad to receive corrections and additions, knowing that in a work of this kind no amount of care will prevent the ex- istence of numerous imperfections. I cannot close without expressing my hearty sense of great obli- gation to the many kind friends who have so cheerfully aided me, in many ways, in preparing this contribution to the interests of Alma Mater.

Method of Arrangement. — In the earlier years of the College, the maintenance of several courses of study, distinct from the Classical course which led regularly to graduation, and known respectively as Academic, Scientific, and Normal, has caused no small difficulty in the proper classification of the following names : this may, therefore, not have been done with entire accu- racy. The arrangement adopted in the following pages, until these courses were discontinued, is to class the names according to the year of entrance, in a double alphabetical list; the first containing those who are known to have entered college classes, or who, after a preparatory course, reached college standing ; the second embracing those whose course is not known to have extended beyond preparatory studies.

His efforts at the very outset were characterized 28 SKETCHES OF THE by that energy, prudence and tact which always master difficulties, and which for him secured at once the hearty co-operation and con- fidence of the friends of the College. President Cattell was inaugurated in the College Chapel, Tuesday afternoon, July 26th, 1864, in the presence of the Trustees, the Faculty and the students, a number of the members of Synod } Alumni, citizens of Easton, and other friends of the Institution. The occasion was one on which Lafayette felt a thrill of returning hope. Governor Pollock, President of the Board of Trustees, touched its key-note in his admirable introductory address when he said : " But the hour of darkness and gloom has passed ; and to-day, within her walls all is harmony and peace ; and at this hour, and in analogy with nature now robed in sunshine and smiling after the storm, the light of a genial sun now pouring down upon us through the riven and scattered clouds, Lafayette College stands revealed in the light of returning prosperity, and all without betokens favor, success and triumph ! " We have met to-day to witness the inauguration of one well-known and appreciated by you all ; and who has been honored by a most happy, cordial and unanimous election by the Synod and Board of Trustees. We present him to you as the scholar and the man — the highest style of man — -the Christian gentle- man, and one who combines in a remarkable degree, the quiet dignity of the Christian minister, the accomplishments of the scholar, and the no less important qualifications of an administrative officer." A new vitality was at once infused, and new vigor characterized the work of the College, both in its inner life and in the more remote points of contact with the patronage and public. Nor was the new era inaugurated without more special indications of the divine favor, A work of grace among the students took place in 1864, which was perhaps the most remarkable of the great revivals that have charac- terized the recent history.* It seemed like the seal of God set anew upon the Institution. Doubtless the time has not yet come for the full treatment of this portion of the history in its personal aspects. President Cattell is* still with us, still in the vigor of middle life, and with full heart * Scarcely a year has passed during the present administration without a relig- ious awakening in the College, more or less wide-spread and powerful. Those of 1867, 1870, and 1S73 were especially remarkable for the profound interest manifested by all the students, and the large numbers who made profession of a change of heart. During the past college year the Christian life of the College has been quickened in an unusual degree ; many of the students have professed conversion, but of the full results of the awakening it is too soon to speak. HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. 29 and strong arm, with a strength indeed that grows with growing opportunities, is pushing the important work that lies before him. The world will read in the work itself the fittest praise of the energy and ability of the man whose best work after all will not be recorded in the history of great buildings, of swelling endowments and new courses of study, but in the hearts and lives of the hundreds of young men whose characters are moulded under his personal influence. These will never forget the kind-hearted President, en- deared to them alike as a faithful friend, a wise counselor and an eminent example of a life devoted with Christian fidelity to a great and good work. Under this administration Lafayette has risen to her present commanding eminence, embracing departments of instruction, widely different in specific scope and aim, yet brought into stimu- lating contact and so into the unity of a harmonious progress. The external features of this growth may be briefly exhibited. STUDENTS. As to the number of students, the surest test of substantial pro- gress, there has been a steady and rapid advance. The successive annual reports of the Faculty for the past thirteen years, show the following numbers in attenuance upon the regular College Classes. The College has no preparatory department. In 1S63, 39. 1870, 188. 1864, 46. 1871, 233. 1S65, 51. 1872, 222. 1866, 65, 1873, 243- 1867, 101. 1874, 280. 1S68, 128. 1875, 3*9- 1869, 145. THE FACULTY.* In 1863-64 the Faculty consisted of nine members. The addi- tion of new departments of study, and the large increase of students have made it necessary to secure a much larger corps of instructors. * Some mention has already been made of the notable eminent men who were identified with the Faculty in the earlier times. It should also be added that the friends of the College feel a just pride in the fidelity and talent of those who now compose it. We who, as students, have enjoyed the advantages of their faithful instruction, would gladly accord them much more than this mere passing 30 SKETCHES OF THE In 1865-66 the number was sixteen; in 1870 it was twenty, and at the present time it is twenty-eight; as follows : William C. Cattell, D. D., President, and Professor of Mental and Moral Phi- losophy. Traill Green, M. D., LL.D., Dean of the Pardee Scientific Department and Professor of General Chemistry.

Dr. Lyman Coleman, our venerable Professor of Latin, the friend of Neander, the ripe Biblical and classical scholar, whose books are known and used alike in this country and in England ; Dr. Traill Green, by whose efficient labors, extending through forty years, the department of Chemistry has reached its present renown ; Dr. Francis A. March, ranked among the leading philo- logists of the age, and Dr. Thomas C. Porter, recognized as authority along with the leading naturalists of our time ; these are well known : nor should it be for- gotten that among the younger professors, there are not a few who, already eminent as instructors, are winning their way to scholarly distinction in their several departments. HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. 3 1 RECITATIONS AND LECTURES. There has been a corresponding increase in the amount of actual class-room work. From 1859 to 1865 there were given annually in the four classes 2070 recitations and lectures. In 1 865-' 66, when the Scientific Department was added, more than half the exercises of the new course were coincident with those of the old, 913 were not so, making the total for that year 2983. The annual number of recitations and lectures at the present time, not including the working sections, or the post-graduate courses, is 9263. This large increase has been caused partly by additions to the curriculum, but mainly by the division and sub-division of large classes. The policy of hearing classes in sections so small that each student shall be sure of daily drill is strictly adhered to, and will account in some measure for the exact and thorough character of the work done at this College. The Freshman class, for example, in Mathematics recites this term in five sections. The classical Freshmen recite in three sections, each in Greek and Latin, and the scientific Freshmen in three, each in French and German. The advantage of thus dividing into sections of from twelve to twenty men, is well known to all thorough teachers; besides the benefit of the actual recitation, the student has the incitement of knowing beforehand that he will be called upon to recite at every exercise, and the instructor is better able to ascertain the progress and the particular needs of each member of the division. THE COLLEGE GROUNDS. The College grounds have been enlarged by successive purchases, to include about thirty-three acres, most of which has been greatly improved within the past few years. The work, carried on accord- ing to the plans of Mr. Donald G. Mitchell ("Ik Marvel"), and under the supervision of Mr. S. L. Fisler, A.M. (class of 1861), has consisted of grading, terracing, ornamental planting, and the laying out and construction of walks, drives, etc., and is so far completed that the campus already presents a picture of rare beauty. This is not, of course, a work of mere aimless adornment, but is carried on under the deliberate recognition of the educational influences of art. The authorities regard it as a matter of great importance that the surroundings of young men, while in the process of edu- 32 SKETCHES OF THE cation, should be such as to engage the mind, not only with the most pleasing aspects of nature, but also with the finer forms of beauty into which nature may be wrought by the skillful touch of man. The students are thus brought under the refining influences of a constant aesthetic culture. Attention has already been called to the natural advantages of the location in this respect, and it is the design to complete the artistic improvements that have already made College Hill the admiration of all beholders. THE NEW BUILDINGS. The most noticeable feature of the external growth, however, is seen in the buildings. Twelve years ago, the original edifice and the small building to the west of it, built by Dr. Junkin for the Model School, were the only structures. Since that time these have been thoroughly renovated and others added. The old college (now South College) has been so completely transformed as to appear scarcely the same building. The old hip-roof has been replaced by a neat Mansard, and the east and west wings added. The East Wing contains Eastonian Hall, which is fitted up as a reading-room, and is supplied with the best newspapers and peri- odicals of America, England, France and Germany. Dictionaries, Cyclopaedias and other works of reference belonging to the Library, are also placed in this room. It occupies the first floor and the second story in galleries, making a spacious, light and airy hall. It is adorned with literary treasures and portraits of honored benefactors and officers of the College. Among these collections is a Papyrus Scroll five feet long, from a mummy at Thebes, with a hieratic inscription pronounced by Seyffarth the finest he has seen, presented by Hon. John W. Garrett, of Baltimore. There is also a full-length portrait of Lafayette, painted by Healy at the Chateau La Grange from Ary Sheffer's famous pointing, and presented by Dr. Thomas W. Evans, of Paris. Above are the President's room and three lecture halls. This wing is 35 by 66j4 feet, and is connected with the main building by a bell tower So feet in height. The entire cost was $23,400. The West Wing is 44 by 84 feet in size, and like the east wing is of brick, rough-cast, trimmed with brown stone quoins and water table. The new chapel occupies the first floor, a double story, 26 feet in height, above which are Dr. Porter's lecture-room, the College HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. 33 Herbarium, the Botanical Laboratories, and the Museum of Natural History. The clock tower, surmounted by a spire, is 125 feet in height, and forms the connection between this wing and the main building. The whole cost was $33,800. The Model School Building (afterwards known as West College) has also been refitted, the first floor as the Treasurer's offices and the College Archives, and the second floor as the lecture-room for Prof. March, with adjoining room as a private study A short distance south-east of South College stands Jenks Phy- sical Hall. It is a T shaped structure of blue limestone, two stories with Mansard roof, sixty-four feet front and seventy-five in depth. It was originally designed for the Chemical Department, and was fitted up with laboratories, lecture-room and cabinet. It has been recently transferred, however, to the department of Physics, and remodeled for this purpose. The first floor contains a recitation- room and small laboratories for sections ; the second floor, a large lecture-room and apartments for apparatus and professors' study ; and the third, the large Physical Laboratory, Microscopic-room, and the hall of the Society of Physics and Engineering. It was erected at a cost of $22,000. The Astronomical Observatory, north of Jenks Hall, and of the same material, is the gift of Dr. Traill Green, and was erected at a cost of $15,000. It consists of a Tower and two Transit-rooms, with lecture-room attached. It is fitted up with a revolving dome and telescope, a transit instrument, and other apparatus for the ob- servation of astronomical facts, and for the thorough study of Astronomy. By far the finest structure, however, on the grounds is Pardee Hall. This magnificent building stands on the central plateau of the campus, and was erected and equipped for the uses of the Scientific Department by its munificent founder, Mr. Pardee, at a cost of nearly $300,000. The building, begun in 1871, was completed in 1873, an d on the 21st of October of that year, was formerly handed over with its scientific equipment to the Trustees, in the presence of His Ex- cellency, Governor Hartranft ; the State Superintendent of Educa- 3 34 SKETCHES OF THE tion, Hon. J. P. Wickersham, LL.D. ; the Synod of Philadelphia, and a great assemblage.* .It consists of one centre building five stories in height, fifty-three feet front, and eighty-three feet deep, and two lateral wings, one on each side of the centre building, measuring sixty-one feet in length and thirty-one in width ; four stories in height, including a Mansard roof, the whole terminating in two cross wings, forty-two feet front and eighty-four feet deep, and four stories in height. The entire length of front, in a straight line, is two hundred and fifty-six feet. The material is the Trenton brown stone, with trimming of the light Ohio sand stone. It is heated throughout by steam and lighted by gas. * The dedication of Pardee Hall was a signal event, not only in the history of the College, but in that of the whole surrounding region. The day Was observed as a general holiday in Easton, South Easton and Phillipsburg, and thousands of the people participated in the festivities of the occasion. Professor R. W. Raymond, Ph. D., a member of the College Faculty, United States Commissioner of Mining Statistics, and President of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, delivered the oration of the morning iii the auditorium, after which a collation was served in the building. In the afternoon the authori- ties of the borough and of the adjoining towns, together with the various civic and military organizations of the valley, the schools, the fire departments and many citizens, formed an imposing procession, and after parading the streets, visited the College grounds. At two o'clock P. M., in the presence of this vast throng of nearly ten thousand people, Mr. Pardee, in a modest address, formally handed over the keys to President Cattell, who responded in a few fitting words. Dr„ Coleman then invoked the blessing of God, after which the whole assembly united in singing the Doxology, " Praise God from whom all blessings flow." Then followed several short and enthusiastic addresses ; Governor Hartranft, Edward H. Green, President of the borough council of Easton, Major A. B. Howell, Chief Burgess of Easton, Edward F. Stewart, President of the Easton School Board, and Ex-Gov. Pollock, President of the Board of Trus- tees, were among the speakers. Later, the exercises were resumed in the auditorium, where addresses were delivered by J. P. Wickersham, LL.D., Rev. Dr. John Harris Jones, President of Trevica College, South Wales, Rev. Dr. Robert Knox, of Belfast, Ireland, Hon. B. G. Northrup, Secretary of the Connecticut Board of Education, Hon. Heister Clymer, of Reading, Pa., Ashbel Welsh, of New Jersey, Rev. Dr. Charles S. Robinson, of New York, Dr. A. J. Woeikof, of the Imperial Geographical Society of Russia, and others. Many congratulatory letters and telegrams were also read from colleges and universities all over the land. The exercises of the day were closed by an informal reception in the evening, when the grounds and buildings were again thronged by an enthusiastic multitude. HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. 35 The first floor is mainly devoted to the study of mining and metallurgy ; the second contains the geological and mineralogical cabinets, a spacious auditorium, and smaller lecture-rooms, reading- rooms, and professors' studies. The third floor is devoted to the engineers. The right wing is occupied by the mining engineers. A large drawing-room occupies the lateral wing, while the cross wing embraces rooms for models and various professional purposes. The left wing is occupied by the civil engineers. The lateral wing comprises a drawing-room, and the cross wing is divided into rooms for lectures, working models, collections and the like. On the fourth floor, the same ample provision has been made for the chemist. The centre building contains Professors' and Assistants' rooms, Technical Collections, Stock-rooms, etc. The lateral wings are intended for qualitative and quantitative analysis. The cross wing at the extremity of the building is occupied by additional laboratories, lecture-rooms, and professors' studies. The fifth floor of the centre building is occupied by the laboratories for general chemistry. In determining what rooms were needed and the best arrange- ment of them, similar buildings in Europe, as well as in this coun- try, were carefully studied, and liberal provision has been made in all the departments of instruction for every aid which has been devised for the most thorough and attractive teaching, and also for the prosecution of original researches. Provision has been made in part for the accommodation of the large number of students by the erection of " Students' Homes." Six of these occupy the north campus, five of them bearing the names of those by whose liberality the College was enabled to pro- vide them. They are in their order from west to east, Blair Hall, Newkirk Hall, McKeen Hall, Marti en Hall, Powel Hall, and East Hall. Except McKeen Hall, which has brown stone quoins and window trimmings, with porch, ornamental cornice, and a balustrade around the entire roof, they are plain brick build- ings, fitted up in suites of rooms for the occupancy of students, and for the residence of a family with whom the students may board, if they so desire. There have also been erected on the College grounds, nine houses designed for the residence of Professors, and those previously built have been improved and enlarged. 36 SKETCHES OF THE THE FUNDS OF THE COLLEGE. The citizens of Easton at their first meeting in 1824, to take some definite steps towards the establishment of the College, ap- pointed a Committee to draft a Memorial to the Legislature for aid, but the account I have already given shows that their expectations from this quarter were not fully realized, and the College from the start was mainly dependent upon the contributions of its friends. These sums were generally small. In the first published list of con- tributors (1834), the sums range from several contributions of fifty cents to one of five hundred dollars- Seventy were below five dollars. The aggregate amounts to $5,103, of which the citizens of Easton furnished more than two-thirds. The most generous donors to the College in its early history were Col. Thomas McKeen and James M. Porter of Easton, and James Lenox of New York City. The appeals made to the Legislature were based mainly upon the necessity for the State making some provision for the education of teachers, and all the aid the College ever received from this source seems to have been due to this port of its work, in which, as I have already observed (see page 15), Lafayette College anticipated the present system of State Normal Schools To prepare the student for " teaching as his ultimate employment for life," was an object the Trustees had much at heart, and their report in 1834 asks the significant question, " Will the day never come when the profession of teachers will be both honorable and profitable, and this class in our Colleges be filled with the first men in our land ?" The minutes of the Board, however, mention but one appropriation received from the State. This is at their meeting April 4th, 1834, where they acknowledged the warrant of "Gov. Wolf for the sum of #4,000." The report for that year refers to an additional grant promised by the Legislature for " $2,000 a year for four years," but whether these amounts were paid, the Treasurer's books, which are incomplete for these years, do not inform us. It is a remarkable fact that Lafayette College in all its history has never received a dollar by a direct bequest. In 1871, it received a residuary or reversionary bequest of $1,716 from the estate of John Beveridge, one of the Trustees. The College was also made the resi- duary legatee by one of the Alumni, H. T. D. Kerr (class of 1856), but the estate was exhausted before the specific bequests were paid, so that during the last fifty years, a period fruitful in bequests to our HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. 37 higher institutions of learning, Lafayette College has received only the above-mentioned sum, less than eighteen hundred dollars ! As a part of the financial history of the College, the following summary of the Treasurer's books, from 1850 to 1864, prepared with great labor by Prof. Coffin, and embracing the period from the time the College became connected with the Synod until the close of President McPhail's administration,* will be not without interest to the friends of the College. .

According to the Treasurer's statement, submitted at the last meet- ing of the Board of Trustees, the total value of the College pro- perty is now #817,414.75, distributed as follows: I. — Non-productive Investments. i. Buildings and grounds, $431,413 87 2. Apparatus, .......... 87,754 67 3. Libraries and Scientific Collections, ..... 40,266 83 Total, II. — Productive Investments. 1.

Amount of other investments, at their par value, (after deduct- ing the entire indebtedness of the College,) Total, It will be seen by this statement that the College possesses its magnificent buildings and grounds, its extensive and valuable libraries, apparatus, scientific collections, etc., clear of all incum- brances, and that it has in addition over #250,000 of productive funds, yielding an annual income of about #13,000.* *It should, however, be known to all the friends of the College that this sum, added to the fees from the students, is very far from being sufficient to meet the current expenses of the College. The great and rapid increase in the resources of the Institution has created a very general impression that Lafayette College is immensely rich. It is rich, perhaps beyond the fondest expectations of its founders and early friends ; but in the great and wida field it now occupies, the expenditures, even upon the most economical basis, are far faeyond even its large income. The various departments of instruction at Lafayette, with the Post- Graduate, Special and Elective Courses of Study, and the necessity, on account of the large number of students, for sub-dividing the classes in sections small enough to insure thorough drill in the daily recitations, render a large body of professors an absolute necessity. Last year the Faculty, exclusive of the Law Department, consisted of twenty-eight instructors. It has been the policy of the Board of Trustees to maintain in all the departments a complete and effective corps of instructors, notwithstanding the large annual deficit which has existed #559.435 37 $67,726 37 69,049 29 121,203 72 #257,979 38 HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. 39 In the history of this remarkable progress we find conspicuous examples of most wise and far-seeing munificence. Among those who have nobly aided in this work may be mentioned the following gentleman, who, besides minor benefactions, have endowed pro- fessorships in the sum of $30,000, William Adamson, of Philadel- phia, Thomas Beaver, of Danville, George B. Markle, of Philadel- phia, and John Welles Hollenback, of Wilkesbarre. Mr. Benjamin Douglass, of New York City, has endowed for a term of years the for some years past, and which has been made up annually by special contribu- tions from the friends of the College, mainly from the Trustees themselves. This annual deficit, however, is regarded as a serious hindrance to the further develop- ment of the College. It cannot be reduced by diminishing the number of Pro- fessors without seriously crippling the thoroughness and efficiency of the instruc- tion ; nor can the salaries of the professors be lowered, as they are already upon a scale of extreme economy, the salary of the senior professors being (in addition to house rent) only $1,600, Moreover, it is certain that the deficit will increase with the increasing number of students, as the tuition fees in all Colleges are below the cost of the instruction. The Trustees have therefore resolved to pursue the only course left for them, and appeal to the friends of the College for a large increase of the permanent endowment. The noble benefactions already made to the College hive established it upon so firm and broad a basis that those to whom God has given wealth, and who feel an interest in Christian education, have here an inviting field for investments that are sure to yield great and grow- ing results in the good cause. The Trustees at their last meeting adopted the following minute, and it is hoped that the College may share liberally in the large gifts annually made by wealthy people to the cause of education, and thus relieved from the necessity of providing year by year for a large deficit, may be free to expand in certain directions where improvements are still needed: " 1st. The Board of Trustees gratefully recognize the increasing prosperity of the College. They witness with pleasure the large number of students upon its rolls, and the evidences of marked efficiency, not only in the departments of instruction, but in the administration of all its affairs. " 2d. In view of the large expenditures which have been necessary to bring the College to its present eminent position among the leading institutions of the land, it is essential that there should be careful economy in all its disbursements, and that the work of instruction sholud be divided among the members of the Faculty in such equable manner that the number of professors be reduced to the lowest point consistent with the proper working of the several departments ; but the Trustees, after a full examination of all the resources and the necessary ex- penditures, are also of the opinion that, to maintain the College in its present efficiency, an addition to its present endowment of at least five hundred thousand dollars in productive funds, is absolutely necessary, " 3d. The Trustees of the College, therefore, recognizing the great labors and success of President Cattell in securing funds for the endowment, as well as his distinguished and successful administration of the affairs of the College, entitling him to the thanks of all friends of Christian education, would respectfully request him to undertake this great additional work, pledging to him their fullest confi- dence and sympathy, and every aid which it may be in their power to bestow," 40 SKETCHES OF THE chairs for teaching the Latin and Greek in the elective course of Christian authors (see page 50), with abundant provision for prizes, for the publication of text-books and for the increase of the library in this special department. The citizens of Easton contributed, in 1872, $22,624, to complete the east wing of South College, and in 1S72, $4,700, towards the new chapel, to which also Mrs. W. C. Ferriday and Mrs. Ellen J. Welles (Wyalusing, Pa.) contributed each $5,000 ;* Dr. Traill Green erected and furnished the astronom- ical observatory. The Treasurer's books, among other contributions to the funds of the College, show the following : John A. Brown, $20,000 ; John I. Blair, 17,000 ; William E. Dodge and Joseph H. Scranton, each $15,000; Barton H. Jenks, Thomas L. McKeen and Mrs. William C. Cattell, each $10,000; Selden T. Scranton, $7,500; Alfred Martien and Benjamin G. Clarke, each $6,000; Morris Patterson, Rev. Matthew Newkirk, John Taylor Johnston, Alexander Whilldin, Thomas Dickson, G. Dawson Coleman and Matthew Baird, each $5,000. But it remains to mention the most munificent benefactor of the College, one, in fact, to whose gifts and wise counsels the College really owes so largely, not only its present efficiency, but its very existence. In 1865, when the College was again struggling for its life, Mr. Ario Pardee, of Hazelton, Pennsylvania, gave President Cattell his cheek for $20,000 ! At the time this donation was made, it was the largest sum given by any one man to any educa- tional institution in Pennsylvania. This, however, was but the beginning of his noble benefactions, which, by successive dona- * The efforts made by the Synod of Philadelphia to raise funds for the College chapel by collections throughout the churches within its bounds, were not attended with much success. In his speech before the Synod in 1S70 (previ- ously referred to), President Cattell says: "When the Synod met at Easton, four years ago, the committee to whom this subject was referred made an earnest appeal that 'some scheme be devised by which the entire Synod will unite in erecting among the new buildings now crowning College Hill a Memorial Chapel;' and upon their report, it was re- solved unanimously, ' that on the day of prayer for schools and colleges, or the week following, a collection be taken up in all the churches within our bounds for the purpose of commencing a fund for the building of a College Chapel.' At the meeting next year in Lancaster, it was found that this effort had resulted in securing the sum of $360.21. That year, still stronger resolutions were passed, and a special committee of one minister from each Presbytery was appointed to carry out the plan. The second and last effort, after deducting the expenses, resulted in the additional sum of #320.60!" HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. 41 tions as the needs of the College enlarged, have amounted to half a million of dollars ! Such princely gifts to the cause of education by one actively engaged in business life, have been rare indeed, and Mr. Pardee's name is not only enshrined in the hearts of all the sons of the College, and of all the friends of edu- cation, but it must ever be honored by all men who can appreciate such noble and unselfish use of wealth. It was well said by Dr. Raymond, at the dedication of Pardee Hall, "Nothing is more beautiful than the spectacle of wealth wielded with the strong hand and generous heart ; of skill and sagacity brought to bear upon the question how to benefit society. Such wealth breeds no danger to the community, and ought never to rouse the faintest sigh of envy. Every poor man in Pennsylvania has reason to be glad and give thanks to-day that Ario Pardee is rich." LIBRARY. The library was founded in 1832, by contributions of books from the friends of the College, and it grew slowly by gifts and small 1 purchases. In 1865, the whole number of volumes reported was only 2,645. -A- f ee °f #1.00 3- term for the increase of the library, and afterwards of $2.00 a term for the reading-room and library has since been paid by each student, and the fees for matriculation and graduation have also in part been appropriated to the same object. The income from these sources is now somewhat more than $2,000 a year. The librarian last year reported the addition of 989 volumes, of which 797 were bought for $2,007.16. This income has been expended almost wholly in books irnmediT- ately connected with the studies of the course, with a view to buy- ing all the working books needed for original investigation in the special direction in which each professor has wished to push his work. It does not, therefore, add rapidly to the number of volumes, but in certain specialties it has served to accumulate one of the best working libraries in the country. The departments in which it is best are, Anglo-Saxon, Early French, Early and Dialectic English. Christian Greek and Latin. American History. Natural History. Chemistry and Mining. Large donations of books have been received, among which may 42 SKETCHES OF THE be mentioned those from Rev. David Bishop, at the founding of the library ; from Hon. T. G. Clemson, a set of the Annales des Mines and French works of science ; from Edwin Miller and Ferdinand de Lesseps, engineering works ; from Dr. John Curwen, works in Natu- ral History and Classical Antiquities. The class of 1871, established a fund for the purchase of Early English Texts. The heirs of C. L. Ward, Esq., presented to the College his well-known library of about ten thousand choice volumes of general literature, his law library and all the books and pamphlets of his American historical collection, with his extensive collections of autographs, engravings and curiosities. The Hon. Joseph Casey has presented valuable series of American Annals and State Papers, and of Legal and Congressional Reports. Mr. Benjamin Douglass has made a dona- tion for the department of Christian Greek and Latin, from which about one thousand dollars have been expended in the purchase of the best working editions of such authors and of critical apparatus for this study. Messrs. R. L. and A. Stuart have also made valuable gifts to this department. About 6,000 volumes, consisting of the Dictionaries, Cyclo- paedias, Historical and Scientific Serials and other works of refer-' ence or frequent use, belonging to the library, are displayed in cases in the reading room of the College. These books are kept accessible to all members of College daily, Sundays excepted, for con- sultation during study hours and general reading out of study hours. Adequate provision has not yet been made for the proper display and use of the rest of the books. The whole number of volumes is now about 16,000, scattered through different College buildings, and a new building for the library is one of the most pressing needs of the College. The Washington and Franklin Literary Societies have, in addi- tion, well selected libraries aggregating about 6,000 volumes. THE CURRICULUM. The historical development of the curriculum shows important changes in the old classical course arising mainly from the intro- duction of the Modern Languages and Natural Sciences.* The records do not furnish the material for as complete an analysis with respect to the proportional distribution of studies as might be * For an account of the Pardee Scientific and Technical Departments, estab- lished 1866, see pp. 46, 47, and 52-55.

SCIENTIFIC COLLECTIONS. These are extensive and valuable, and are rapidly increasing from year to year by gifts from societies and individual donors, and by special appropriations in addition to the fees for registration and matriculation. Among the most valuable of the collections may be mentioned the extensive Herbarium, collected mainly by Prof. Porter and his assistants during thirty years of enthusiastic labor ; it is specially rich in Mosses, and is believed to contain the most complete Flora of Pennsylvania in existence ; the series of Ward's cele- brated casts, illustrating Geology and Palaeontology, together with the specimens purchased for the College by Prof. Hitchcock in Europe ; the valuable collection of Coal Fossils presented by the Scientific Association of Pottsville, and the Models of the coal region made and presented to the College by P. W. Shaefer, Esq. ; the splendid Mineralogical collections of Rev. Dr. E. R. Beadle of Philadelphia, and of Dr. Joseph K. Swift of Easton ; also the Jane- way collection ; the collection of Northern Antiquities, pur- chased by Dr. Beadle in Denmark ; and the complete collection of Swedish Iron Ores, with the products of their reduction, presented by the Jern Kontaret of Sweden. The apparatus in the Departments of Physics and Applied Me- chanics, the instruments used in the Departments of Astronomy and Engineering, and the scientific equipment of the numerous and extensive laboratories, fairly meet the demands of advanced in- struction in these Departments ; a special feature, however, is the series of one thousand three hundred and twenty-two Wall Charts, executed at the College by Mr. G. Gamier, under the the direction of the Professors in the Departments of Astronomy, Chemistry, Physics and Applied Mechanics, Metallurgy, Engineering, and Natural History. In addition to Schroeder's Models in Descrip- tive Geometry, there are valuable models in Machine Drawing, Stone Cutting, Crystallography and Architecture. THE PRESENT ORGANIZATION COURSES OF STUDY. The old standard curriculum of under-graduate studies has been adhered to throughout with a judicious regard for the interests of classical culture. Changes have occurred, it is true, and important additions have been made to this course, but only such as have seemed necessary in view of the just demands of changing times. In her recent remarkable growth, however, Lafayette has far ex- ceeded the limits of this single course, and has indeed, by her vari- ous Schools or Departments of Instruction, advanced to the rank of a University. The schedules now offer seven distinct courses of study, leading to degrees, as follows : I.— THE CLASSICAL COURSE. The graduates in this course receive the usual degree of Bachelor of Arts. The main characteristics of this course may be seen by reference to the historical outline of it in the foregoing pages. In its present relation to the other departments, it is kept in its integrity, and left free to its own development. It is, however, regarded as em- bodying the standard means of liberal training, and is therefore the course to which the others conform, so far as is consistent with their specific aim, in their general spirit and design. It is fully equal in organization and thoroughness to the under-graduate course of our best Colleges, and affords the amplest facilities for the study of the Ancient Languages. II.— THE GENERAL SCIENTIFIC COURSE.* Graduates receive the degree of Bachelor of Science ; or, for those taking the elective course in Latin, Bachelor of Philosophy. This course is parallel with the Classical Course of the College, except that the Philological Study of the English and other Modern Languages takes the place of the Ancient Languages. It is de- *This and the three courses which follow are endowed by Mr. Pardee, and constitute the Pardee Scientific Department of Lafayette College. 46 HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. 47 signed, therefore, for those who wish to study the Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Modern Languages and Literature, History, Mental and Moral Philosophy, Rhetoric and Logic, as a substantial basis of knowledge and scholarly culture, and who would be glad to enjoy the cultivation and learned habits and associations of College life, but who will not study Greek and Latin.* III.— THE COURSE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING. Graduates receive the degree of Civil Engineer. This course is designed to give professional preparation for the location, construction and superintendence of railways, canals and other public works ; the trigonometrical and topographical surveys of States, counties, etc. ; the surveys of rivers, lakes, harbors, etc. ; and the direction of their improvement ; the design, construction and use of steam engines and other motors, and of mechanics in general ; and the construction of geometrical, topographical and machine drawings. IV.— THE COURSE IN MINING AND METALLURGY. Graduates receive the degree of Mining Engineer. This course offers the means of special preparation for exploring undeveloped mineral resources, and for taking charge of mining and metallurgical works. It includes instruction in Engineering as connected with the survey and construction of mines, with the construction and adjustment of machines, and with machine draw- ings; also, instruction in Chemistry and Assaying as applied to the manipulation of ores and other minerals. V.— THE COURSE IN CHEMISTRY. Graduates receive the degree of Analytical Chemist. This course includes text-book study, lectures and laboratory practice, every facility for which is found in the extensive labora- tories of Pardee Hall. Particular attention is given to the Chemis- try of Agriculture, Medicine, Metallurgy and the Manufacturing Processes. VI.— POST-GRADUATE COURSES. Designed for graduates of Colleges or Scientific Schools, and others having suitable preparation. Such persons may pursue ad- * For further remarks upon this course, see page 52. 48 SKETCHES OF THE vanced studies in any Department, under the direction and instruc- tion of the Professor in that Department, and may have use of the laboratories, apparatus, collections and libraries of the College while prosecuting their researches. Those who complete a three years' course in these post-graduate studies receive the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. VII.— THE DEPARTMENT OF LAW. Graduates receive the degree of Bachelor of Laws .* This department is designed to furnish a thorough, liberal and practical system of legal education. The plan embraces the vari- ous branches of the common law, equity, constitutional and public law. Particular attention is also given to the civil law, medical jurisprudence, and such historical and philosophical subjects as are closely related and necessary to a thorough and scientific legal training. The courses of instruction in these several schools, together with the methods of teaching, the facilities, text-books, and other par- ticulars, are given in the annual catalogue, to which the reader is * It appears from the records that a Law School in connection with the College was a feature of the plan, cherished by the authorities even from the first ; and so early as 1841, and for several years thereafter, the name of Hon. James M. Porter appears in the catalogues as " Professor of Jurisprudence." In the enumeration of students also during that period, several are set down from year to year as "Law Students." Several years later, about 1850, Hon. Washington McCartney, who was also connected with the College, carried on a Law School in Easton for several years with much success. In recent years the Alumni and friends of the College have more and more felt the need of such a department, and last year the authorities established the Law Course. It was formally opened in the auditorium of Pardee Hall, October 6th, 1875, at which time an inaugural address was delivered by the Dean of the Faculty, Hon. W. S. Kirkpatrick, formerly President Judge of the Third Judicial District of Pennsylvania. The following members constitute the Faculty : Rev. William C. Cattell, D. D., President. Hon. W. S. Kirkpatrick, A. M., Dean of the Law Department, and Pro- fessor of Elementary Law and History of Jurisprudence. M. H. Jones, A. M., Professor of Municipal Law. Traill Green, M. D., LL.D., Professor of Medical Jurisprudence. Francis A. March, LL.D., Lecturer on Constitutional and Public Law and the Roman Law. E. S. Barrick, A. M., LL.B., Instructor in Municipal Law. HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. 49 referred for further details. I shall now speak only of a few topics in which Lafayette College presents distinctive features : and first with reference to BIBLICAL INSTRUCTION. The systematic and thorough study of the Holy Scriptures throughout the courses at Lafayette, is a fact that has frequently been noted with pleasure by the friends of sound learning. Any attempt to trace this feature of the curriculum to its origin, takes us back to the very beginning. The College was founded and fostered, as we have seen, by men of eminent piety, who had a pro- found sense of the worth of the Bible, not only as a book of moral guidance, but as one whose study was admirably adapted for the purposes of liberal culture. With such reverence for the book, and such views of its educational value, they were not likely to neglect its claim to become an important feature of the curriculum. Later in its history, the College came under the care of the Synod, and important changes were made, mainly, however, in the direction of systemizing the Biblical studies. That these early traditions have not been forgotten in the recent growth of the College, may be seen at once from the present schedule of studies. Indeed, President Cattell's inaugural address in 1864 was mainly devoted to this very subject. From this mas- terly plea for the introduction of the Bible as a text-book in a course of liberal studies, I may be permitted to quote here a single sen- tence : "Whatever may be the value of other books, we contend that the Bible surpasses them all, and that the course of study in every Christian College should be so arranged, that, while its general contents should engage the attention of all candidates for the first degree, certain portions of it, in the original tongues, should be studied with at least as much thoroughness as is given to any classic writer, and that this special study of the Book should be an addition to such collateral instruction as may be given in the other departments, especially Mental and Political Philosophy, Ethics, Archaeology and History." The scheme of Biblical instruction at present will be seen from the following paragraphs, which I take from the catalogue : The New Testament is used as a text-book for the regular daily recitations in Greek during the two terms of the Classical course. The Gospel according to Mark is the study of one term, and a Greek harmony of all the Gospels of a 4 5
