So far as the observation of "Ye auxiliary" goes this may also be said with refer ence to members of the Faculty. Prof. Nicholson deseives credit for the untiring labor which he has expended in cleaning and repairing the ap. paratus in the laboratory, since August 1st. Since Prof CoUhr's time this department has had no regular repre senlative for any considerable length of lime; consequent ly the machinery has suffered much. Rev.

No lack of talent on our part.
