18923 Additional Professors 



assistant professor in the University of Edinburgh, came di- 

 rectly from that institution to our chair of Pure Mathematics, 

 which he has held ever since. Though deahng with a narrow 

 professional field, he is a man of generous culture and wide 

 literary interests. Lionel R. Lenox, a graduate of Columbia, 

 a former colleague of Richardson's at Lehigh, came as professor 

 of Analytical Chemistry, work which he has successfully and 

 faithfully carried for twenty-seven years. Arley B. Show was 

 called from Doane College, Nebraska, of which he was a gradu- 

 ate, to our chair of Medieval History, a field in which he did con- 

 sistently solid work up to the time of his sudden death in 1920. 



Mrs. Mary Sheldon Barnes, wife of our then professor of Mary 

 Education, and formerly teacher of History in the State Normal Sheldon 

 School at Oswego, New York, joined the Stanford faculty as ^^''^^^ 

 assistant professor of History. A woman of remarkable in- 

 tellectual insight and unique temperament, of frail health but 

 serene, indomitable spirit, she worked always to the highest 

 possible limit of her strength, and impressed her personality 

 strongly on students. She died in London in 1898. 



William Henry Hudson, a literary scholar, at one time 

 secretary to Herbert Spencer, came to us from Cornell as 

 assistant professor of English Literature, but returned to London 

 in 1900. One of his several books of popular essays dealt with 

 the Spanish Missions of California. Walter Miller, a former 

 student in the Classical School at Athens, was called from the 

 University of Missouri to our chair of Classical Philology, 

 which he held until 1902. From here he went to Tulane Uni- 

 versity, and is now dean of the State University of Missouri. 



Vernon L. Kellogg, afterward one of the most important Kellogg 

 factors in the University's development, also came at the time 

 of which I write, as assistant to Professor Comstock, under 

 whom he had studied at Cornell. Lecturing the preceding 

 spring at Kansas University, I had been most favorably im- 

 pressed by the personality and work of this young man. He 

 was then state entomologist as well as secretary to Chancellor 

 Snow, and although an intense specialist in certain little- 

 known groups of insects, he had at the same time a fine literary 

 taste and a ready pen. Coming to Stanford at my insistence, 

 he rapidly rose to an independent professorship in Entomology.
