12 EEPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 



Eegent, and by General William T. Sherman, a Eegent. The exercises 

 were concluded with prayer by the chaplain of the Senate, Bev. Dr. 

 Byron Sunderland. 



In addition to the Senators and Members of the House assembled, 

 the President of the United States, members of the Cabinet, justices of 

 the Supreme Court, and other dignitaries, were present ; and the pro- 

 ceedings were solemn and impressive, as befitted the occasion. 



By joint resolution of Congress, these memorial addresses were 

 ordered to be printed in the " Congressional Becord," which was accord- 

 ingly done on the 4th of March following. The same resolution also 

 directed the printing of fifteen thousand copies of the said proceedings 

 in a "Memorial Volume," which volume should include also "such arti- 

 cles as may be furnished by the Board of Begents." A selection has ac- 

 cordingly been made by the special committee of the Begents appointed 

 January 17, 1879 (consisting of Messrs. Gray, Parker, and Baird), em- 

 bracing a few commemorative discourses delivered elsewhere, to form a 

 concluding portion of the memorial volume. This material is now in 

 the hands of the Public Printer, and it is hoped will soon be published. 



Among other gratifying illustrations of the respect in which the mem- 

 ory of Professor Henry is held by the community, we may mention the 

 efforts made to perpetuate it by means of works of art. Beference has 

 been made in previous reports to the life-size portrait, painted, at the 

 request of the Board of Begents, by Mr. Le Clear, of New York ; and, 

 also, to a similar portrait as to size and general character, by Mr. Henry 

 Ulke, of Washington. A copy of the latter has been ordered by gen- 

 tlemen in Philadelphia for the American Philosophical Society. A 

 crayon portrait, also by Mr. Ulke, and considered an excellent likeness, 

 has been furnished by him to Princeton College and other institutions. 



Mr. Clark Mills, the well-known sculptor, has modeled a bust of Pro- 

 fessor Henry partly from a cast taken after his death. A copy of this 

 in plaster has been placed in the Smithsonian Institution. 



Mr. C. V. Burton spent some time during the year at the Institution 

 in modeling a small-sized bust, of which he has disposed a large number 

 of copies. 



A medallion likeness was made by Mr. Barber, the engraver of the 

 Philadelphia mint, and a medal has been struck with this as the obverse 

 side. 



A likeness has also been engraved on steel at the Treasury Depart- 

 ment, to accompany the Memorial Volume, an appropriation of five hun- 

 dred dollars having been made by Congress for the purpose. 



Another steel portrait has been engraved and published by the Messrs. 

 Appleton, of New York, in their Annual Cyclopedia for the year 1878. 



The Institution is also in possession of an oil painting of Professor 

 Henry, painted from one or two sittings only, and presented by the 

 artist, Mr. Ingalls. Excellent photographs have been taken of him by 

 Gutekunst, of Philadelphia, and by Messrs. Smillie, Gardner, Brady, 

 and Fassett, of Washington.
