honored Cabinet Minister.

Amos T. Akerman has been similarly honored, as Attorney General of the
United States.

The names of Charles B. Haddock, George P. Marsh, George G. Fogg, and
Edward F. Noyes, deserve honorable mention in connection with public
service abroad.

The names of Samuel Dinsmoor, the younger, John Hubbard, Ralph
Metcalf, Peter T. Washburn, Nelson Dingley, and Benjamin F. Prescott
should be noticed, as State Governors, in addition to several who have
added this honor to others, of which we have already made mention.

In Judicial life many names attract our notice beside those, which
have been mentioned in other connections; among them Nicholas Baylies,
Nicholas Emery, Nathan Weston, Ira Perley, Jonas Cutting, Benjamin W.
Bonney, Isaac F. Redfield, Robert R. Heath, Andrew S. Woods, William
H. Bartlett, John S. Sanborn, and Benjamin H. Steele, of the deceased,
and William G. Woodward, Timothy P. Redfield, George F. Shepley, James
Barrett, Jason Downer, Jonathan E. Sargent, Lincoln F. Brigham, Oliver
Miller, and Charles Doe, among the living. Nor should we forget that
of living members of the American Bar few names have been honored more
in the East than that of Charles B. Goodrich, and few names have been
honored more in the West than that of James F. Joy.

Labaree and Calvin B. Hulbert among its honored presidents.

Zephaniah S. Moore, as president of Williams College, gave to it the
fruits of his valuable experience at Dartmouth, and materially
enhanced its usefulness; nor should we omit the name of its earnest
friend and guardian, Alvan Hyde.

In naming the leading founders of Amherst College, Professor Tyler
does not hesitate to place first, Rufus Graves, and next, Samuel F.
Dickinson. The value of Dr. Moore's services as first president has
been referred to in a previous chapter.
