service rendered to the cause
of science by Henry Fairbanks and John R. Varney, while professors at
Dartmouth, escape our notice.

A proper estimate of the value of the services of those who are now
manfully and successfully bearing "the burden and heat of the day,"
and bidding fair to do so for years to come, in this important field,
with its slender pecuniary rewards, of Samuel C. Bartlett, Henry E.
Parker, Elihu T. Quimby, Charles H. Hitchcock, John C. Proctor,
Charles F. Emerson, and John K. Lord, must be left to a future
historian.

The tutor's chair at Dartmouth has been filled by many men of high
promise, some going to premature graves, others to what they deemed
more inviting fields. Among them we find such names as Calvin Crane,
Moses Fiske, Asa McFarland, John Noyes, the value of whose instruction
was gratefully acknowledged by Dartmouth's most illustrious son a
quarter of a century after his graduation, Thomas A. Merrill,
Frederick Hall, Josiah Noyes, Andrew Mack, John Brown, Henry Bond,
William White, Rufus W. Bailey, James Marsh, Nathan Welby Fiske, Rufus
Choate, Oramel S. Hinckley, John D. Willard, Henry Wood, Ebenezer C.
Tracy, Ira Perley, Silas Aiken, Evarts Worcester, Jarvis Gregg, and
Samuel H. Taylor. We cannot dwell upon individual merit, nor give even
the names of all who have rendered valuable service in this sphere.

The "Indian Charity School," also has had many teachers of
distinguished worth. Among them we find such names as Benjamin
Trumbull, the historian, to whom we have referred heretofore; Ralph
Wheelock, the favorite son of the honored founder, who would doubtless
have left to him his official mantle, but for the early failure of his
health; James Dean, whose name is indelibly engraven upon the earlier
periods of our national history, Jacob Fowler, who well illustrated
the value of Christian civilization to the Indian; Caleb Bingham and
Elisha Ticknor, whose names are closely interwoven with the
educational history of New England's metropolis, Josiah Dunham, Judah
Dana, Caleb Butler, William A. Hayes, the intimate and honored friend
of Francis Brown, Joseph Perry, John S. Emerson, and Osgood Johnson.
