take charge of the work of construction. All were filled with rejoic- 

 ing when, two years later, the handsome and commodious building was 

 publicly dedicated to the noble purposes for which it had been erected. 

 During the ceremonies of dedication, Mr. Albert Thresher, of Dayton, 

 acting on behalf of Mi. Barney and the Building Committee, pre- 

 sented the keys of the building, with well chosen words, to Dr. H. F. 

 Colby, President of the Board of Trustees. Dr. Colby responded ap- 

 propriately and felicitously. The dedicatory address was given by 

 Prof. ]. J. Stevenson, Ph.D., LL.D., of the University of New York, 

 and a most eventful occasion in the history of Science at Denison Uni- 

 versity was happily closed, the only regret being that the generous 

 donor of the building was unable to be present.
