There is an earnest movement on foot among Harvard men in New Xork to secure the nomination and election of Dr. John S. White to the board of overseers. It is a significant fact that there is not a single teacher at present in the board.

In 1849, to the class of which President Eliot was a member, was given the first instruction in chemistry in any American college. At that time Professor Cooke was the sole lecturer and teacher in the department of chemistry, and the accommodations for carrying on the work were exceedingly limited.
