eemed proper to go into a detailed account of the labors
and successes of individuals among its living graduates but it is only
fair to this comparatively youthful department of the college, to say
that as lawyers, teachers, scientists, engineers, architects, and in
other spheres of practical science, its sons have made for themselves
a wide and enviable reputation. The age demands that its institutions
of learning shall impart a scholarship that will bring the forces of
nature under the control of man, and render the student more efficient

Experience has shown that the Scientific Department of Dartmouth is

with the wants of modern society. From the first its teachers have
been able and untiring in their devotion to its permanent prosperity
and welfare, and its success has justified their efforts and zeal.

council, and four-by the Trustees of Dartmouth College, so classified
