THE Anniversary exercises of the Sheffield Scientific School were 

 held on Monday, July 15, 1867, in Sheffield Hall. The theses and 

 prize essays of members of the Graduating Class wore read in the 

 presence of His Excellency the Governor, His Honor the Lieut. 

 Governor, and other members of the State Board of Visitors, the 

 President and several of the Fellows of Yale College, and an assembly 

 of gentlemen and ladies. These exercises were followed by the 

 delivery of the following address. 



Those who are not already acquainted with this department of 

 Yale College, may be interested in knowing that by the liberality of 

 Jos. E. SHEFFIELD, Esq., of New Haven, and other gentlemen, and 

 by the grant of public lands appropriated to the State of Connecticut 

 in aid of scientific education, opportunities are here afforded for the 

 professional study of the various branches of Natural, Physical and 

 Mathematical Science. A report is annually made to the Legislature, 

 setting forth the operations of the School.
