THe Harris MemoriaL TABLET. 
On Friday, December 31, the final day of the recent entomological 
meetings in Boston, delegates from the various Societies represented 
in those meetings went out to Milton village, and with brief ceremony 
unveiled a simple marble tablet placed on the old ‘Suffolk Resolves 
mansion” to commemorate the residence there of Thaddeus Wil- 
liam Harris. 
The inscription, composed by Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higgin- 
son, who in his student days was a pupil of Harris, reads as follows: 
IN THIS HOUSE FROM 1824 TO 1831 DWELT 
THADDEUS WILLIAM HARRIS M.D. 
BOTANIST, ENTOMOLOGIST; AND FINALLY 
LIBRARIAN OF HARVARD COLLEGE 
IN EACH CAPACITY HE WON 
FOR HIMSELF FAME AND GRATITUDE 
HE HAD THE MODESTY AND UNSELFISHNESS 
OF TRUE SCIENCE 
WITH WHAT MAY RIGHTLY BE CALLED 
ITS CHIVALRY OF SPIRIT 
Besides the entomologists, there were present representatives of the 
Milton Historical Society and the Science Club of Milton Academy.
