OF DENISON UNIVERSITY IQ 



The growth of the work in Professor Herrick's department, both 

 in the College and Academy, made it necessary to secure assistance in 

 1888, and W. G. Tight, a graduate of Denison in the class of 1886, 

 was employed as Instructor in the Academy. During Professor Her 

 rick's connection with the University of Cincinnati and studies abroad, 

 Professor Tight had charge of the collegiate work. Upon Professor 

 Herrick's return to Denison the work of the department of Natural 

 History was divided. Professor Herrick being Professor of Biology, 

 and Professor Tight being Assistant Professor of Geology and Natural 

 History. Later Professor Tight was given full charge of his depart- 

 ment under the title of Professor of Geology and Botany. Since 1890, 

 Professor Tight has been Editor of the Bulletin of the Scientific 

 Laboratories, mentioned above as founded by Professor C. L. 

 Herrick. 



Upon Professor C. L. Herrick's resignation in 1897, the depart- 

 ment was placed in charge of his brother, Professor C. Judson Her- 

 rick, who had performed a large part of the duties of the chair since 

 January, 1894, with the exception of a year spent in special work at 

 Columbia University, during which time the work was conducted by 

 Mr. H. H. Bawden.
