"It is hardly necessary to say that the influence of such a man was an
important factor in the last two years of our college life. His noble
bearing, his handsome face, his impressive manner, his uniform
kindness and courtesy, and, especially, his manifest appreciation of
young men who were struggling against heavy obstacles in their course
of study, will never be forgotten by those who were so fortunate as to
be under his tuition. Nor can it be doubted that the power of his
refined intellect and taste has been felt in many places where his
name has never been heard."

Richard Kimball, of Lebanon, N. H. He died at West Lebanon, N. H.,
January 15, 1861.

William Chamberlain, the successor of Professor Moore in the chair of
Languages, was the son of General William and Jane (Eastman)

his relations, beloved and honored, he filled up the measure of a
short but useful life, and died with humble confidence in the Divine
mercy, through the atonement of Jesus Christ, July 11, 1830, aged 33."

He gave to the college for ten years the unremitting labor of his
life, and we may say his life itself. To his abundant and complete
work as a teacher he added the labor of overseeing the material
affairs of the college,--a labor devolved upon him, perhaps, on

vacation, in travelling over what wa
