The resolutions of the faculty referred to above, prepared 

 by Professors W. B. Scott and Rankin, state 



Through . . . [thirty one] . . . years he gave his energies 

 with scarcely an intermission to the teaching of Botany and Zoology as 

 long as they were required studies, and then to smaller and specialized 

 classes in elective biological subjects. Not only was he an enthusiastic 

 teacher of Natural History but he also taught the formerly required sub- 

 ject of the English Bible, and was also the examiner of the Latin required 

 of the entering School of Science students . . . Bred as a theologian 

 he was nevertheless in sympathy with the then new doctrine of Evolution, 

 and throughout his life was a firm upholder of the essential harmony of 

 Science and Religion. 



He is described as an omnivorous reader, having a keen 

 interest in mathematical, physical and linguistic studies, a 

 promoter of Esperanto, author of an Elementary Botany and 

 of a Flora of Patagonia in three volumes, based on material col- 

 lected by Princeton expeditions. 



In entomology his interest was chiefly morphological and 

 anatomical, as the following list shows.
