Memorabilia 



MY personal acquaintance with 

 Clarence King began in 1862, 

 when, at the age of twenty, he was 

 studying at the Yale Scientific School. 

 He was my junior by several years 

 and we were not intimately associated 

 there as fellow-students ; but I well 

 remember him as he was then, an 

 active, sprightly youth, quick to ob- 

 serve and apprehend, full of joyous 

 animation and lively energy, which 

 always made him a leader of the front 

 rank, whether in the daily exercises 

 of the classroom and laboratory or in 

 an impromptu raid by night on Hill- 

 house Avenue front fences, with the 

 mischievous purpose of lifting off and 

 swapping around in neighborly ex- 

 change the door-yard gates of lawns
