individually, to observe for themselves the working of the various

Laws. They have,

likely to prove eminently satisfactory to the friends of
the institution, enabling the College to meet more fully the wants
and thereby more nearly to fulfil the end for which
was originally established.
It has been a prominent object of the Board to secure the further
extension and development of the scientific course.

and also, as far as possible, by natural specimens from our museum.
The establishment of a proper system for the continuous and
orderly collection and arrangement of objects needed to illustrate
these several branches of Natural History, has engaged the especial
attention of the Managers, and a Committee has recently been apillustrated

Dr. Joseph Leidy, our Professor of Natural History, who has had
much
experience in such matters, and is acquainted with most
Amei-ican collections, has lately visited Vassar College, at the request of the committee, to inspect the arrangement of cases and objects in the
