 two rooms over the Laboratory, which were occupied by 

 Mr. Masters, and which after my death will be the property

 visitation be appointed by the President to examine into the 

 state of the Collections from year to year.' Extract from 

 Dr. Daubeny's Will. Proved January 18, 1868.

 in College in St. John's Quadrangle, near the west door of 

 the chapel. A white marble tablet upon the west wall of the Memorial 

 ante-chapel preserves his memory : Tablet.

 he was elected under the powers given to the College by

From 1869 to 1894 Mr. Chapman, first as Lecturer and
