1873. 373 [Hagen. 
The President announced the death of Prof. Wm. C. 
Cleveland, of Cornell University, a Corresponding Member 
of the Society. 
Mr. W. H. Niles said that Prof. Cleveland was well known 
to several prominent members of the Society, who were not 
present this evening. Prof. Cleveland was best known as a 
civil engineer, and it was in this profession and its associated 
studies that the merits of his scholarship and work became 
most prominent. But he also had a genuine love of nature 
and truth, which he never failed to cherish. He made fine 
collections of minerals, plants, mollusca and fossils; and these 
were to him more than curiosities, for he studied their na- 
ture and affinities as a professional naturalist would have 
done. He often surprised his friends by his familiarity with 
the natural history of the region where he resided, and a 
number of the professors at Ithaca were astonished at the 
readiness and proficiency with which he instructed the 
classes in paleontology and geology, during an absence of 
Prof. Hartt. Mr. Niles had often sought his company for 
geological rambles, and had frequently derived valuable aid 
from him while considering certain difficult geological ques- 
tions Whoever knew him well, found him thorough in his 
investigations, accurate in his information, and clear in his 
reasoning.
