a great asset to a teacher. I don't think he has a superior, and I 

 am sure he has few equals as a teacher. Since Dean Rusby has 

 been connected with the College it has prospered. Each year new 

 courses have been added, new members added to the f aculty, and new 

 facilities provided for the students. This has resulted in an in- 

 creased attendance. In conclusion, I hope Professor Rusby will be 

 here to celebrate his half -Century with the College." 



Dr. William J. Schieffelin said : " It is an anti-climax for me to

 connected with the College as well. It is really my good fortune to 

 have the opportunity of addressing those here assembled concerning 

 one about whom so much that is good can with truth be said. Pro- 

 fessor Rusby is so well known to all present that my further re- 

 marks concerning him will, I am certain, be endorsed in every detail. 



" During my long and at all times pleasant and cordial associa- 

 tion with Dean Rusby two qualities of the man have impressed 

 themselves upon me more than any others. They are honesty of 

 purpose and unselfishness. I need say nothing here concerning his 

 many other admirable qualities, nor about his reputation as a scien- 

 tist and teacher. A correct estimate of the two qualities referred 

 to can only be made in case of any man, after long-continued asso-
