 having in charge the various museums, libraries, etc., 

 that cluster around this venerable university, a party, 

 consisting of members of the Institute and their friends, 

 spent a very profitable and pleasant day in examining 

 these several collections which, for the most part, have 

 been gathered together during the past thirty years by a 

 few devoted friends of science and of the University.
