to Russia was to benefit his health; and ·that has been done, so he will soon return again to America, where he will still pursue his vocation-Engineering. While in Russia,he gained such a valuable knowledge of the country, that he is enabled to write a "History of the Youngest Nation." This will not appear in print for several years, but then it will prove one of the best histories on the market." When I saw Eugenia's name at the top of the page, I stopped and thought of what Doctor James said in class one day. "Miss Chiswe1l,one is able to see by your silence and unassuming ways that you have a remarkable brain and that you will make your mark in the world." We all wondered what she would do; she certainly was a very bright girl. I read to see what she is doing: "Miss Chiswell taught a public school for two years, during which time she studied carefully many scientific beoks, The foundation that she had formed at W. M.

It so far surpassed any that had ever been written, that immediately all Colleges used it, and in most all of the private homes of our land, where there is any love of science, this book was introduced.

This recalled to me his love for the dead languages when at college, this made me think of how he brought his book to the dining-hall to study, but used to smile across the room instead. Although the roll did not mention any- thing about his home-life, I will take the liberty to say that now he smiles at the same young lady across his own table. "The record of Edith Greenlee's life travelled very far, but it has not been altered in the coming. Go down to Houston, Texas and there walking up Congress street you will notice a sign, "Kindergarcen-MiEs Greenlee," and that means no other than the Edith you all knew at college. Here she has a very large class and teaches them all things useful for little folks. Her patience is amazing, she rules them by persuasion, and not by harsh language; 80
