WILLIAM BAKTON ROGERS. 



Richards, a graduate of the first class 

 of the Institute of Technology, related 

 interesting events connected with the 

 early beginnings of the institute. 



At the close of these exercises an an- 

 nouncement was made that the cor- 

 poration of the institute, out of funds 

 in its control, had founded a scholar- 

 ship of $300 yearly to be filled by a 

 graduate or student of William and 



Mary College to be designated by the 

 faculty of that institution. The ex- 

 ercises throughout were such as to im- 

 press upon the student body the nobil- 

 ity and loftiness of Mr. Rogers's char- 

 acter and life and to give a new esti- 

 mate to those who knew him of the 

 permanence and warmth of the memory 

 in which he is yet held.
