The following from the Boston
Journal is an appropriate compliment
to a highly accomplished scholar and
gentleman. We congratulate our
sister State that she lias at last re
ceived the services of so learned a
President to take the direction of her
principal literary institution. We
predict that it will at once assume a
leading position among the colleges
and universities of the Northwest:
“It is both with pleasure and regret
that we make the announcement that
Professor Chadbourne ha* resigned
the Presidency of the Massachusetts
State Agricultural College, and ac
cepted the Presidency of the Wiscon
i sin State University, which he declin
ed a year ago, but which has again
been unanimously tendered by the
Regents. We regret the loss ofa gen
tieman whose attainments and culture
are so marked that through his ef
forts our Agrcultural College promis
ed to realize the expectations ot’ its
warmest friend*, but it is with plea
sure itiat.wc hear of his acceptance of
another position, as it is an assurance
of approaching restoration to health.
Which is most gratifying to hi- many
friends.
