 dent Rogers had no time to become the public apostle of his 

 immortal idea. But whenever he did appear as the representa- 

 tive of his beloved school, his voice used to ring with the utter- 

 ance of it like the voice of a prophet, and his face to glow with 

 a light which no one who saw it could ever forget. He stood for 

 loyalty to absolute truth. He gave himself to this thought with 

 an intensity and consecration which made it like a religion. To 

 hear him speak of his great idea was to realize something of the 

 divine right of science." 



_ Professor Rogers published many original papers in various 

 lines of research, in physics, in analytical chemist rv, and in 

 geology. A list of his chemical papers, both alone and in 

 company with his brother, Robert E. Rogers, will be found in 

 the writer's address at Northumberland, in 18*74.* A full list 

 of his contributions to the various departments of science remains 

 to be compiled.
