JAMES JOSEPH SYLVESTER.
1814-1897.
Professor Sylvester died in London, March 15, 1897. He was the Pro-
fessor of Mathematics in the Johns Hopkins University from its foundation
till 1883. He was the first editor of the American Journal of Mathematics,
and one of the principal contributors to the early volumes of these Circulars.
The numbers of the Circulars from 1879-1883 contain numerous and
valuable notes from him.
The following biographical sketch is reprinted from Nature, London,
March 25. It is written by Major P. A. MacMahon, of the Koyal Artil-
lery, Professor in the Artillery College at Woolwich, a friend of Professor
Sylvester, and a conspicuous contributor to the same field of mathematical
science.
PROFESSOR SYLVESTER.
By Major MacMahon, R. A.
He is dead, and it becomes a sad duty to give a brief account of his long
life and great work.
Born in London September 3, 1814, he was the youngest but one of
seven children of Abraham Joseph Sylvester. Three sisters lived for
many years at Norwood, and of his three brothers two, Frederick and
Joseph, lived for the most part in America, whilst George resided at
Worcester.
He obtained his early education at private schools in London ; thence
he went to the Liverpool Institution, and in 1837 graduated at St. John's
College, Cambridge, as Second Wrangler. The first five names in the
Mathematical Tripos of the year are Griffin, Sylvester, Brnmell, Green,
Gregory. It is astonishing to think that Green, of immortal memory, has
been dead for nearly fifty years ! Sylvester was keenly disappointed at his
failure to be senior of the year. He was always of an excitable disposition,
and it is currently reported that, on hearing the result of the examination,
he was much agitated. Being of the Jewish persuasion, he was unable
to take his degree at Cambridge, but later he obtained a degree at the
University of Dublin. On leaving Cambridge he at once commenced the
long series of mathematical papers, which he was to contribute to scientific
periodicals all over the world, by the publication, in vol. xi. of the Philo-
sophical Magazine, of an analytical development of Fresnel's optical theory
of crystals.
This was followed by some articles upon subjects of applied mathematics,
and it was not until 1839 that he brought his intellect to bear upon the
analysis of continuous and of discontinuous quantity, departments of pure
mathematics which well-nigh monopolised his attention for the remainder
of his life. He was appointed Professor of Natural Phil phy at Univer-
sity College. London, and Liter on held the post of Professor of Mathematics
in the University of Virginia. He returned to England in the year 1 - 1",
and the first period of his scientific career may be said to have cl<
had published some thirty paper-, and was already well known in both
hemispheres as an original and imaginative man of science. The sub-
jects dealt with comprise "Dialylic .Method of Algebraical Elimination,"
"Sturm's Functions," "Criteria for Determining the Roots of Numerical
Equations," "The Calculus of Forms" (afterwards known as the
of Invariants"). "The Equation in Integers At* -f 11,/ -|- C
The latter problem was a favourite subject of thought throughout his life, and
the first problem in the theory of numbers that he attacked. The theory of
invariants sprang into existence under the stmng hand of Cayley, but that
it emerged finally a complete work of art, for the admiration of future
generations of mathematicians, was largely owing to the flashes of inspira-
tion with which Sylvester's intellect illuminated it. The nomenclature
of the theory is almost entirely due to him. The words "invariant,"
"covariant," "Hessian," "discriminant," " contravariant," ■* combinants,"
"commutant," "concomitant," are a few of tho-e introduced by him at this
time, which have been part of the stock-in-l radeof mathematicians i ver since.
A beautiful theory of the rotation of a ri^i.l body about a fixed point,
after Poinsot, should be mentioned. It is one of the few papers that he
wrote on dynamics.
For ten years after his return from Virginia he was occupied with a firm
of actuaries. He founded the Law Reversionary Interest Society, and also
accomplished a considerable amount of mathematical research. In 1853
appeared his first important memoir in the Philosophical Transactions of the
Koyal Society, bearing the title, "< >n a theory of the syzygetic relations of
the rational integral functions, comprising an application to the theory of
Sturm's functions and that of the greatest algebraical common measure."
This is a masterly exposition, covering 170 quarto pag< s.
In 1855 he was appointed Professor of Mathematics at the Royal Mili-
tary Academy, Woolwich. This was;- • 5 the work of an
was manifestly unsuitable, and had indeed been most distasteful to him.
He held this professorship for fifteen years. It was a time of great activity.
Year by year his fame increased, and recognition by foreign academies was
liberally bestowed. In addition ti ntinual work at the theory of invari-
ants, he laboured at some of the most difficult questions in the theory of
numbers.
Cayley had reduced the problem of invariant enumeration to that of the
partition of numbers. Sylvester may lie said to have revolutionised this
part of mathematics by giving a complete analytical solution of the problem,
which was in effect to enumerate the solutions in positive integers of the
indeterminate equation —

JOIINS HOPKINS
[No. 129.
Thereafter he attacked the similar problem connected with two such
simultaneous equations (known to Euler as the Problem of the Virgins),
and was partially and considerably successful. Iu June, 1859, he de-
livered a series of seven lectures on compound partition in general al Sing's
College, London. The outlines of these lectures, printed at thi
distribution amongst bis audience, are now being published for the first
time by tin- London Mathematical Society. He was assisted in the prepa-
ration of these lectures by Captain (now Sir Andrew) Noble, with whom
from that time forth he was in sympathetic friendship.
The year 1864 may be regarded as the time of bis greatest intellectual
achievement, which caused him to be considered as one of the foremost of
living mathematicians. < >n April 7, 1864, he read a paper before the Royal
Society of London, bearing the title " Algebraical B itaining a
disquisition on Newton's rule for the discovery of imaginary roots, and an
allied rule applicable to a particular class of equations, together with a
complete invariantive determination of the character of the roots of the
general equation of the fifth degree, &c." In the "Arithmetics Univer-
salis," Newton gave a rule for discovering an inferior limit to the number
of imaginary roots in an equation of any degree, but without demon
Neither did he give any indication of the mental pi - by which he was
led i" conji dure the truth of the rule, nor did be set forth the evidence
upon which ii rests. For years the question of proving or disproving the
rule bad been a crux of the science. Euler, Waring, Maclaurin and
Campbell were amongst those who sought in vain to unravel the mystery.
The only step that bad been gained was to Bhow that if any n< gative terms
occur in the quadratic elements involved in the statement, there must be
some imaginary roots. This, however, was not a great step, as a slight
consideration renders it apparent. Sylvester, in the paper quoted, estab-
lished the validity of the rule for algebraical equations as far a> the fifth
degree inclusive. The method employed wis that of" infinitesimal substi-
tution," which he himself initiated, and had previously employed in an
essay, "On the Theory of Forms," in the Cambridge and Dublin Mail
Journal. It proceeded upon the principle that every finite linear substitu-
tion may be regarded as the result of an indefinite number of simple and
Separate infinitesimal variations impressed upon the variables. He also
discussed the probability of the specific superior limit to the number of real
roots in a superlinear equation equalling any assigned integer. This valu-
able me ir contained only a small instalment of the desired result. It was
not till the following year — 1865 — that he fully established and generalised
the conjectured theorem of Newton. On June 19, be communicated the
of his discoveries to the Mathematical Society of London, Prof, de
Morgan being in the chair as its first president ; and on the following June
28 he gave a public lecture in King's College, London, taking as his title,
" I in an elementary proof and generalisation of sir Isaac Newton's hitherto
undemonstrated rule for the discovery of imaginary roots." Sylvester's fame
with posterity will, perhaps, be principally associated with this yreat intel-
lectual triumph. It may be observed that, subsequent to the demonstration,
Dr. J. R. Young claimed to have proved Newton's rule twenty yean before.
Sylvester contested this assertion in a characteristic manner, and mathema-
ticians are, I think, in agreement that he showed it to be without basis. He
always wrote well and with considerable power of expression ; but, perhaps,
he was- strongest when attempting to demolish any one who questioned or
denied his claim to priority in a particular mathematical discovery. In the
case in point he wrote: ''It is such stuff as dreams are made of, and culmi-
nating as it does in a palpable petitio prineipii do a il m d a detailed refu-
tation at the bands of the author of this lecture. It is not l.y such vague
rhetorical processes, but by quite a different kind of mental toil, that the
truths of science are won, or a way opened to the inner recesses of the
reason."
When the Lritish Association for the Advancement of Scien
Exeter, in 1801), Sylvester was the President of the Mathematical and
Physical Section. Huxley had recently written in 1/ . >
"Mathematical training is almost purely deductive. The mathematician
starts with a few simple propositions the proof of which i- SO obvious that
they are called self-evident, and the rest of his work consists of subtle
deductions from them;" and again, in the Fortnightly Review: " Mathe-
matics is that study which knows nothing of observation, nothin
inent, nothing of induction, nothing of causation.'' Ii may be safely said
that any man engaged constantly in mathematical research would find no
difficulty in refuting these statements to the satisfaction of any representa-
tive body of scientific men. Sylvester devoted a considerable portion of
ing Huxley's statements, and put in a
powerful ami eloquent plea for mathematics as being a science of observation
and experiment, and as affording a boundless scope for the exercise of the
Sbrtt of imagination and invention. Huxley, I believe, made no
reply ; and I think there can be no doubt that, like many other remarkable
men in other branches of science, he had no conception of the real nature
of the life-work of mathematicians of the high order to which Sylvester
belonged. Amongst other matters in his address, he remarks upon the
extraordinary longevity of the masters of mathematics. Amongst these
long-lived ones he himself now takes an honourable place.
lie left Wo ilwich (for years he occasionally wrote from his house on the
Common, n de plume "Lani Yieencis") in 1S70, and for some
years was without a professorship. During this time he was much ii
in the problems of link-motion and conversion of motion generally. He
wrote several valuable papers, and invented the skew pnntigraph. The
title of one of his papers of this period is characteristic — " Mode of con-
struction and properties of a new sort of lady's fan, and on the expression
of (lie cut I by any given system whatever of link work under
the form of an irreducible determinant."
He gave a Friday evening lecture at the Royal Institution, entitled "On
Recent Discoveries in Mechanical Conversion of Motion."
His acceptance, in the year 1876, of an invitation to become the first
Professor of Mathematics in the new Johns Hopkins University at Balti-
more, in Maryland, may he regarded as concluding the second period of
his career. He could hardly expect to further increase his reputation,
which was extraordinarily high, and most of the honours that can fall to
the lot of a scientific man had long been in his possession.
In Baltimore he booh founded the American Journal of Mathematics, and
was surrounded by a knot of enthusiastic students, whose researches he was
able to influence, and in some cases to entirely direct. His final investiga-
tions in the theory of algebraic invariants, various questions in diophantine
analysis, the i onstructive theory of partitions, the theory of universal algebra,
and the commencement of his researches on differential invariants, were
principally the outcome of his residence in Baltimore. He was assisted,
followed tip, and frequently also inspired by his students in an ideal manner.
Perhaps the most permanent impress he left on the path of American
research was in the subject of universal algebra, the vigorous offspring of
Cayley's memoir, of 1858, on matrices. He established the nomenclature
of the subject and surveyed the unknown country. He showed the con-
nection between linear transformation and quaternions, and further arrived
easily at a generalisation of quaternions. Since then Taber, Metzler, and
others in the New World, have made valuable additions to the theory.
In 18S3 he was elected to succeed Henry J. Stephen Smith in the chair
of the Savilian Professorship of Geometry at Oxford. His inaugural lecture
was on the subject of differential invariants, termed by him reciprocants.
This work was extensive and important, and its elaboration, with the able
assistance of James Hammond, was the last valuable contribution he made
to mathematics. With increasing age infirmities came upon him. He
suffered from partial loss of sight and memory, and in 1892 he obtained
permanent leave from his duties, and the University appointed a deputy
professor.
Henceforth he lived for the most part in London, and was a familiar
figure in the Atheneeum Club, bul he was never in good health. At intervals
he would go down to Tunbridge Wells and live at the Spa Hotel, but he
did no mathematical mirk, and his frame of mind was not happy. Early
in 1896, his condition caused alarm to his friends. In August he quite
suddenly became again interested in mathematical subjects, and this
appeared to make him calmer and happier. On February 26, whilst work-
ing at the theory of numbers, he had a paralytic stroke and never spoke
again. lit- died peacefully at ;i.30 a.m. on Monday, March 15, 1S97, at
5 Hertford Street, Mayfair.

pages. Its quality, however, is of a very bigh order, as he always preferred
to labour at difficult questions; problems which for centuries have been a
challenge to the human intellect had an especial attraction for him. His
last thoughts were concerning the distribution of the prime numbers; the

it was unfortunately removed whilst the hall was undergoing repair.
His writings an Bowery and eloquent. He was able to make the dullest
Bubject bright, fresh, and interesting. His enthusiasm is evident in every
line. Hi' would get quite close up to his Bubject, bo that everything else
looked small in comparison, and for the time would think at
others think that the world contained no finer matter for contemplation.
His handwriting was had, and a trouble to his printers. His papers were
finished with difficulty. No sooner was the manuscript in the
hands than alterations, corrections, ameliorations and generalisations would
suggest themselves to his mind, and every post would carry further directions
to the editors and printers. His usual custom was to send early notice of
his discoveries to the Academy of Sciences in Paris. Subordinate theorems
he would despatch at once to the Educational Times. He frequently also
made announcements in the columns of Natube. lie gave so i ly names
to mathematics that he used playfully to speak of himself as the Mathe-
matical Adam. It has been remarked by Professor Forsyth thai hedn w
almost entirely upon Latin for new names, whilst Cayley as invariably drew
upon ( Ireek. In 1870 he published "The Laws of Verse," dedicating it to
Matthew Arnold. The composition of sonnets, hoth in English and Latin,
was a relaxation that he much enjoyed; these have been, and no dotiht will
be, criticised in other places.
He was fond of billiards, whist and chess, lie liked occasionally going
into the society of ladies, but was never married.
He appears in the series of portraits of Scientific Worthies for the year
1889, to the accompaniment of a sympathetic notice from the pen of Cayley.
His portrait in oils, by Elmslie, was exhibited in the Royal Academy a few
years ago, and now hangs in the hall of St. John's College, Cambridge.
His physiognomy was striking, never failing to impress deeply at a first
meeting. Latterly his appearance was venerable and patriarchal.
In this short notice justice cannot be done to his character. His temper
was somewhat quick on occasions, but he never cherished angry feelings
beyond a very short time; he was anxious to forget and forgive. Only
those who understood him were aware that anger or displeasure was with
him a transient phenomenon, and that charitableness of feeling and kind-
ness of heart were characteristics deeply engraved upon his nature. To
vounger men he was sympathetic and generous.
The revival of the mathematical reputation of England, dating from the
Queen's accession to the throne, is to a large degree due to his genius; and
those who were present on March 19, at the simple, yet impressive ceremony
at the Jewish cemetery at Dalston, must have realised that one of the giants
of the Victorian era had been laid to rest. The Royal Society and the
London Mathematical Society were represented at the funeral by Prof.
Michael Foster, Sec. R. S., Major MacMahon, R. A., F. R. S., Prof. Forsyth,

PROFESSOR H. NEWELL MARTIN.
At the ninth annual meeting of the American Physiological Society, held
in Boston and Cambridge, December 29 and 30, 1896, Professor W. 11.
Howell proposed the following resolution regarding the work of the late
Professor II. N'cwcll Martin: —
"The members of the American Physiological Society have heard with
profound regret of the death of Professor II. Newell Martin. In com-
memoration of his distinguished services, the Society adopts and places
upon its official record the following expression of its appreciation and
esteem. In the death of Professor Martin, the Society has lost a member
to whom it owes an especial debt of gratitude. He was actively concerned
nidation and organization, and during the critical period of its
tory he gave much time and thought to its interests. He served
for six years as its secretary and treas„r,.r, anr] strove always with entbu-
■ inning of an enterprise which he believed
would foster the spirit of scientific research in physiology, and bring its
■ kers into stimulating fellowehi|
condition, and its prospei ;s of future usefulrj thai it is
largely indebted to his wisdom and energy. In a broader held his influence
upon the science of physiology ha- been deeply felt. His own splendid
logy will have an enduring value,
while the stimuli] , :l||,| w;n continue to
be, an infl
and research it untry. As an investigator and tea her he was dis-
tinguished, not only by his originality and ability, but ly many noble
traits of character. Hi- modesty, hi- genuine interest in all kinds of
idy insistence upon the highest ideals of scientific
inquiry, his chivalrous conception of the credit due to his fellow workers,
and the generous sympathy an '.ay- felt and shown by him
for the work of younger investigators, are some of the qualities which will
endear his memory to those who wen he brought into
intimate association with him as a teacher or as a friend."
ling the resolution, said : —
" Probably few of the younger members of the Society are aware of the
great di la which we owe to ]ir. Martin for establishing the high standard
which the Society has always maintained with regard to the qualifications
of the members. It was always Dr. Martin's contention that a candidate
for admission to our ranks should he required to demonstrate hi- I
enlarge the bounds of our chosen science, and not merely to display an
intere I in thi ubjeel ami an ability to teach text-book physiology to
medical students. To his wise counsel in I hi- matter the present prosperity
of the Society is, 1 think, largely to he attributed. 1 trust that the resolu-
tion will he adopted, and placed upon the records of the Society."
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
COMMEMORATION DAY.
The twenty-first anniversary of the Johns Hopkins University was cele-
brated on Monday, February 22. The public exercises of the day were
held in McCoy Hall.
At eleven o'clock, the procession entered the hall. The President of the
Trustees and of the University, accompanied by the ( iovernor of Maryland
and the Mayor of Baltimore, the Chaplain and the Orator of the day, the
Trustees, the Faculty, and invited guests headed the procession and were
followed by the alumni and students.
The exercises were opened with a chant, Benediclus, sung by a quartette.
Prayer was offered by the Right Rev. Henry V. Satterlee, 1>. D., 1. 1.. D,
Bishop of Washington.
The hymn Lord of all being! throned afar, was sung by the assembly under
the leadership of the University (ilee Club.
The address of the day was then given by the Rev. Francis L. Patton,
D. D., LL. D., President of Princeton University. His subject was "The
Place which the Theistic Theory holds in Intellectual Inquiry."
The object of the address was to show that all rational thought regarding
the universe proceeds upon assumptions and presuppositions that arc es-
sentially theistic. The place which the Concept of God has had in the
thought of the world, as seen in the great constructive systems of philosophy;
the forms which the theistic argument has taken in the hands of Aristotle,
Anselm, Descartes, Kant; belief in God as the only possible means of pro-
viding a rational basis for science, an intelligible end for history, an adequate
authority for morality; the traditional arguments as affected by contempo-
rary scientific and philosophical criticism; the points
touched upon. The treatment was bo lucid and skillful, and the abstractness
of the discussion was enlivened by such brilliant and telling wit, that the
audience followed the reasoning with delight, and with profoui

French Source, Aliscans."
The University song Veritas Vm LiberabU was then Bung by the Glee Club.
Dr. E. II. Spieker, as chairman of a committee of the present and former
pupils of I ildersleeve, presented his portrait, painted by Mr.
Louis ('. ('. Kricger of Baltimore, to the University.
Dr. spieker, addressing the President of the University, spoke as follows :
Daring the course of the present academic year the honored head of the
department of Greek at this university, Professor Gildersleeve, attained
his cloth birthday, having but a sbort time before completed a period of
forty years of active service in the cause of classical philology : twenty
years at the University Of Virginia and twenty at the Johns Hopkins
University.
On the morning of his birthday the committee which now stands hefore
you, quietly and without ostentation, went to his room in McCoy Hall and
■ I to him in the name of his present and former pupils an engrossed
letter of -congratulation and good wishes, and at the same time informed
him that those whom they represented, in honor of the important combi-
nation of events in his life, desired to have his portrait painted and hung
at some appropriate place in McCoy Hall. Had the decision rested with
Professor Gildersleeve we feel sure that his natural modesty would have
prevented our giving any publicity to the matter; but we believed that
it was due to us and to him that the final act should he a public one, that
all might know that we, who know him best, admire him most and love
him best
It is not our intention to pronounce a eulogy on the man; his record is
open to all ; the educational and the educated world know it well. To us
that record has ever heen a joy and an inspiration: as we have seen parts
of it developing we have been made to feel that nature endowed him
lavishly, making him a man most versatile; hut we have also learned that
to natural endowments he added an infinite capacity for labor, for toil and
application, which makes more men capahle than does nature.
The portrait, sir, for which Professor Gildersleeve kindly consented to
Bit, is now completed, and we take great pleasure in presenting it to you
and through you to the Board of Trustees, with the request that you assign
to it some fitting place on the walls of this building; that there it may
serve not only to recall the career of a great scholar, investigator and
writer; but also, and above all, that it may hear witness to the admiration,
affection and gratitude of his pupils towards their teacher.
Professor Welch, on behalf of friends and associates of Professor New-
comh, asked that he sit for a portrait to be given to the University. The
remarks of Professor Welch were as follows:
The custom which prevails in many foreign universities of celebrating,
by some memorial, epochs in the lives of distinguished teachers and investi-
gators connected with the university is one which can only he commended.
A similar custom is finding increasing favor within recent years in this
country, where so few material honors attend success in university and
scientific careers.
The colleagues and other friends of Professor Newcomb desire to manifest
their affectionate regard and their high appreciation of his services to science
and to this University, and to mark an epoch in his life, by asking him to sit
for a portrait to he painted in oil and presented to the Johns Hopkins
University. It is just forty years since he left the work of a school teacher
in the State of Maryland to engage in the mathematical service of the
United States Government, It is twenty years since he became senior
professor of mathematics in the United States Navy and editor of the
American Ephemera and Nautical Almanac. For many years he held the
post of astronomer in the Naval Observatory at Washington. With the
Johns Hopkins University he has heen closely associated since its founda-
tion. I le has heen honored in unusual degree by academic distinctions and
by election to membership in learned BOcieties both in this country and in
Europe. Bis numerous contributions to science have received the highest
possible recognition, This is not the occasion, nor am 1 tie i to attempt
to estimate in detail, the significance and the value of thesi nt rihulions.
The judgment of one's own peers is the test of the worth of discoveries in
pure science. The great mathematician, Professor Cayley, has pointed out
the rare combination in Professor Newcomb's publications of mathematical
skill and power and of good hard work devoted to the furtherance of mathe-
matical science, When the blue ribbon of science, the Copley medal, was
conferred upon our colleague by the Royal Society of I>ondon, attention
was publicly called to the fad that he had won his distinction especially
by his contributions to the science of gravitation and that his name was
worthy to he remembered in the domain forever associated with the illus-
trious Isaac Newton.
Professor Newcomb, your friends and colleagues now ask permission to
place your portrait by the side of that of your colleague, Professor Gilder-
sleeve, that thus there may he here silent and enduring tokens of the
honor which this University bestows upon the man of letters and the
man of science.
Professor Newcomb responded briefly acceding to this request, and Presi-
dent Gilman accepted the gifts in behalf of the University.
The announcement was made by the President of the University of the
establishment by Mr. J. I'.. Noel Wyatt, of Baltimore, of an annual course
of lectures upon German literature, history or art, to he known as the
"Wehrhane Memorial Lectureship" in memory of the late Mr. William
II. Wehrhane, of Baltimore.
Postmaster General Wilson and Governor Lowndes were introduced to
the assembly and briefly responded.
The exercises were closed by the singing of Integer Vitae by the Glee Club.
Orchestral music was rendered at intervals by Wright's Orchestra of
fifteen pieces.
In the afternoon, the physical laboratory and the libraries in McCoy
Hall were thrown open to the public.
A meeting, in favor of the pending arbitration treaty, was held in McCoy
Hall in the afternoon. The Governor of Maryland presided. Mr. Isaac
Brooks, Jr., acted as Secretary. Addresses were made by Mr. Joseph
Packard, President Gilman, President Patton, and the Hon. John P. Poe,
and resolutions were adopted.
MEETINGS OF THE ALUMNI.
The Baltimore Association met in the morning of February 22 in McCoy
Hall and selected officers, as follows: — President, John Hemsley Johnson;
Secretary, Alfred J. Shriver ; Treasurer, Henry O. Thompson; Members

The Johns Hopkins University will observe its twenty-first annual com-
memoration day this morning at 11 o'clock in McCoy Hall.
The university was opened for instruction in the fall of 1876. Judge
William A. Fisher, in a recent gathering of friends of the un
referred to the many avenues of city life iu which the university's influence
had been all-pervading. This suggestion led to some further inquiries by
Dr. Jacob H. Hollander, of the Hopkins faculty, who has written much
recently upon local history.
Talking yesterday of some of his results in this direction, Dr. Hollander
said: "The material development of the city within the period of the
university's activity is familiar, but its remarkab] • growth in many
other directions, tending to increasing attractiveness as a city of resi-
dence and to increasing influence upon American society, commonly
escapes notice.
"The most remarkable development of Baltimore in other than material
and industrial affairs within the past twenty years has unquestionably been
in the educational field. Without losing any ot'its distinctive charai teristics,
the city lias Income one of the meat educational centres of the country,
recognized as such in every quarter of the globe, and attracting large bodies
Of students from widely removed localities.
"The activity of the Johns Hopkins University, coincident in time with
the period considered, has doubtless been the paramount force in this develop
ment. The story of the institution forms a unique chapter in the history of
American higher education. Almost within the years which similar institu-
tions have devoted to mere tentative efforts, Johns Hopkins lias attained
the front rank among higher institutions of learning. The relation of the
university to the city and its residents has throughout been intimate.
Academic currents penetrate every stratum of Baltimore society and
exercise wide and far-reaching influences upon its intellectual life.
"In the higher education of women the extraordinary growth of the
Woman's College has already made Baltimore an important centre for a
large section of the country and the source of noteworthy influence upon
the educational development of the South.
'Local medical instruction has undergone marked improvement, cul-
minating in the opening of the Johns Hopkins Medical School as a
post-graduate department. Ampler facilities for clinical and laboratory
work are afforded and a larger and better equipped body of students have
been attracted to the city. In law, dentistry and pharmacy local institu-
tions have fully kept pace with scientific advance in methods of instruction
and research. Preparation for college has been simplified. A number of
well-conducted preparatory schools are in operation, and a link between
the public-school curriculum and college matriculation requirements has
been formed. The Bryn Mawr School, with its finely equipped building,
serves as an admirable preparatory school for girls.
"Almost as remarkable," continued Dr. Hollander, "lias been the
development of educational apparatus — libraries and library facilities.
The past twenty years have witnessed the collection of the library of the
Johns Hopkins University, now numbering about 80,000 volumes, gradually
and carefully chosen from every department of science and literature and
including several noteworthy special collections, as the Me! loy library, rich
in works illustrating the history of art ; the Bluntschli library, in historical
and political science ; and the Dillmann library, in Semitic lair
biblical literature.
" Within the same period the library of the Peabody institute has grown
from 60,000 to a noble collection of more than 125,000 volumes. An
admirable catalogue of the library has been printed and better facilities
for investigation and research have been afforded.
"The munificence of the late Enoch Pratt has supplanted tl
collections by the creation of a well-chosen circulating library of 170,000
volumes. The special libraries of the Maryland Historical Society, the
iation, the Whittingham Library of the Diocese of Maryland, the
Medical and < hirurgieal Library and the New Mercantile Library have
ions and ha\ rally accessible.
" President Oilman has < timati I tl Baltimore hi

"The annual courses of lectures and entertainments of th
School Teachers' Association, the Young M u's Chri
and of various church and other organizations have exerted similar
influences for good.
" In close association with these several educational forces is to
tioned the greater literary productiveness of Baltimore. A bibliography
of the other than ephemeral writhe nan- within the past
twwty years would show a result far greater in volume and in content
than that of any earlier period. In the office of the president of the Johns
Hopkins University a ret ti maintained, containing books
published by the university and its officers and by those "ho have been
educated hen-, and already containing several hundred volumes.
"The humanities as well a the sciences have received noteworthy
contributions from Baltimore, and the present activity of a group of
gifted writers suggests a conscious acceptance of the heritage of John
Pendleton Kennedy, of Severn Teackle Wallis and of Sidney Lanier.
"The University Club has been and continues an important influence
in the cultivated life of the city. Although formally organized only ten
years ago, it is a direct outgrowth of the old Johns Hopkins !
Club organized in 1879, the genu of which in turn were the informal
Saturday evening sessions of certain instructors and fellows, dating almost
from the opening of the University. The purpose of the University Club
has been described by Professor Gild' irst and only president,
as 'the furtherance of social relations and intellectual interchange among
those mejijbers of the community who are in sympathy with university
views and university methods.' In this direction much has been accom-
plished, even though the results can not be precisely estimated.
"A remarkable development of what might he called 'the larger life'
of Baltimore within the pa I twentj years," Dr. Hollander continued, " has
been the greater activity of women in intellectual and practical affairs.
The formal expression of this activity is to he found in the growth and
influence of such organizations as the Arundell Club, the Women's Literary
(.luh, the Lend-a-Hand Club and the Quadriga Club. At first merely
stimulating agencies of self-culture, these bodies are rapidly !
important influences in the communal life of the city. Indirectly they
have aroused and sometimes shaped public opinion in the direction of
needed reform, and the growing desire to give women representation upon
municipal hoards is out one aspect of this inllut n
"The activity of the Conservatory of Music of ihe Peabody Institute
has effected marked improvement in musical study and appreciation in
Baltimore within the period. Much, very much, remains yet to
plished, but it will hardly be denied that musically Baltimore is a very
different city from what it was twenty years ago. In the face of ignorance,
apathy and activi ho tility, a corps of tale: has persisted in
the work of musical education — to a limited student body by direct in-
struction, io ti;.' i omi iiiuity at largi' by series of recitals and concerts.
" If the results thus far attained have 1 ecu disproportionate to the effort
expended, signs are not wanting that the long-delayed musical awakening
is in sight. -The organization of the graduates of the Peabody Institute,
30

the erection of the Music Hall, the formation and revival of various musical
societies are distinct expressions of this tendency.
"The artistic resources of the city have been notably augmented within
twenty years," said Dr. Hollander. "The Maryland Institute,
inconspicuous, but effective in activity, lias licen the important educational
force in this direction, serving as a local cradle of art. The Kinehart fund
for the promotion of the art of sculpture has come into operation under the
auspices of the Peabody Institute. Two European scholarships are annually
awarded, and at the Maryland institute, a school of sculpture, under a highly
qualified artist, is maintained. The* barcoal Club since its inception has
imparted stimulus and inspiration to a maturer class, ami lias fostered the
informal association of artists and art -lovers. I Vcorativc art lias been de-
veloped by the opportunities afforded by the Decorative Art Bocii t;
to the superb collections of tin' Walters Gallery, to the Peabody Institute
Gallery and to the public exhibits held periodically under various local
auspices have created a larger Btudenl body and have done much t
the artistic sense of the community, As in music, a limitless vista of further
opportunity need not prevent recognition of the noteworthy advance already
made.
"Little need be said of the marked improvement in the tl aspeel
of the city within the past twenty years. The business quarter has been
virtually reconstructed by the demolition of many of the oldest, and the
erection of attractive modern structures Residential sections have been
and attractive suburbs have sprung up. Our parks and squares
have been carefully developed, and a notable addition has recently been
made thereto. The generous gifts of William T. Walters, Robert Garrett,
and W. W. Spence have adorned the city with noble expressions of the
r's genius.
" In many other directions residence in Baltimore has become ny>re
attractive than it was twenty years ago — in the development of its social
life, in the incidental features of university activity, in the organization of
its charities, in the progress in local journalism. In all these directions the
outl iok is rich in promise, and it needs no unreasonable optimism to remind
us that our own poet Lanier has sung, less, perhaps, as the minstrel than as
the seer —
" ' a fairer Athens tUan of yore
In these blest hounds of Baltimore"'
THE TOCQUEVILLE MEDAL.

Viscount de Tocqueville, Count de Rochambeau, and the Count Jacques de
Pourtales. M. le Baron Pierre de C'oubertin, President of the Union, has
offered on its behalf to bestow annually upon a prize essayist of the Johns
Hopkins University a medal, to be called "The Tocqueville Medal," in
honor of the illustrious Frenchman. Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859),
author of the well-known historical anil political studies, "Ancien Regime"
and " Democratic en Amerique."
i he following rules will govern the award :
1. The medal will be given to that student of the Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity who shall have written the best essay on some subject in historical
or political science taken from French history or- politics from 1815
< 'ompetitors may select any desirable theme, historical, political, diplomatic,
economic, social, or biographical, within the period specified,
2. Students who have left the University, either graduates or not, cannot

ays must be legibly written or typewritten, on one side
ordinary thesis-paper, unbound. Not less than S,000 nor more than HI, (1(11)
e desired. Papers must be sent, in completed form, to tin B
of the 1 niversity, on or before Jam.
4. A committee of award will be appointed by tin President of the
University. If there is a sufficient competition of meritorious essays, the
Tocqueville Medal will be publicly awarded, for the first time, on the 22d
of February, 1898. The University will withhold the prize if no thesis
worthy of it is presented.

The following letter is reprinted from The Critic, New York, March 20:
V.. FERDINAND BRUNETIERE.
(By Tit. Bentzon.)
You ask me to write an article on M. Brunetiere, who has been invited
to give this year's series of lectures on poetry at Johns Hopkins University.
Will you permit me to reply in the epistolary form, anil thus avoid giving
this paper the importance of a biography, as M. Brunetiere is almost as
well known in America as in France? The mere fact of his having been
chosen to speak in one of your great universities sufficiently proves this.
It is probable that everyone knows that he was horn at Toulon in 1849,
ami that this native of Provence has pure Brittany blood in his veins,
which accounts for the compound of ardor anil steadfastness, conscience
anil passion to he found in him; that he intended to devote himself to
teaching, hut turned towards literature, and that as far back as 1875 he
became an assiduous, as well as admired, collaborator of the A'mn ilex lhnr
Mondes. His power for work is prodigious, as he proved from the outset,
when, as assistant editor, he really managed that most important publica-
tion, long before he bore the title of director. In 1886 he was appointed
Maitre de Conferences on French language and literature, at the Ecole
Normale. In 1887 he received the Order of the Legion of Honor, and
entered the French Academy, while still very young. All this can he
found in any encyclopedia.
What is more interesting is the account of his writings, such as his
Critical Studies on the History of French Literature, in which one of the
strongest, most original and most logical minds is mirrored. He is, by far,
the leading critic of the day, notwithstanding that, in France, this is pre-
eminently the age of criticism. I will add that he is besides, among all
the writers and lecturers of our country, the one who has the greatest
number of reasons for appealing to the sympathy of Americans. His
enemies themselves — for he has some, and boasts of the fact, as he has
never courted popularity, — his very enemies, as well as his friends, have to
acknowledge that he has one master quality — authority. He always knows
exactly what he is saying, as well as all that pertains to what he says, and
this rests on solid principles and so extensive an erudition that it seems to
include every branch of human knowledge. All others seem shallow by
comparison. No historical, philosophical or other question is strange to
him, and this enormous wealth is classified with scrupulous precision in a
mind that, by merely filtering them, knows how to give to the most abstract
subjects the limpidity of a crystal spring. This incomparable perspicuity
seems to me the first condition for success in a foreign country, even when
one's audience is composed of a perfectly prepared elite, understanding
French as well as it can be understood when it is not one's mother tonj tie.
And the French that M. Brunetiere speaks in his distinct, incisive and
ringing voice has all the classic purity, a rare thing as times go! There
are no neologisms, and yet there is nothing insipid or antiquated about it.
I assure you, instead, you will find a rare felicity of expression
he docs not tax the resources of the vocabulary, --dash, brilliant paradox,
and an indefinable something whose sharpness and spiciness stimulate, and
will give an American audience the impression of humor, at times even of
grim, Puritan humor. For there is a tart flavor in both the eloquence and
the writings of M. Brunetiere. His contempt for all the humbug, snobbish-
ness and affectation in the judgments dictated by fashion, easily finds vent
in the most original and tier, a mi I nality are
equally hateful to him. Far from i e kg it, and knows
how to give hi- adversaries a thorou erving the

Who an tin The adept- of a certain mannerism which
aowadays is trying to pass current as talent— inq rshippers
of thi Japanesqu and unwl li me minds that seek their inspiration in
Btrange or ignobl udelaire,
have felt his clutch. He i fi
established reputations. He spoke his mind to Victor Hugo hit
went to the very bottom of things, stripping him "ii the way, exactly as he
does with tin- new nan. [n a fine book on tl rcl, he has lashed
the imitator- of Flaubert and Zola, which, however, does not mean that he
nize that tin- formi < ■ cious ele-
ments into novel-writing, nor that he doe- not appreciate the all
breadth of the latter; bul he i a when analysing
a masterpiece like " M Ian
art for art'- sake will never forgive him this. Still < y will do
more than forgive it in America, whi I ' English litera-
tim have always thought, as be would ha\ ink, that a work
is not great merely by tin- talent of its author, but by the quality of the
ideas it brings forward and the inlet est of 1 1

In French literature, M. Bi itury best,
because it was the highest expn i ood taste and good sense, which
does not signify that h li up in the artificially
clipped gardens of Versailles and rel the charm of
even hazardous paths. He does not shut himself up anywhere:
big word cosmopolitanism does nut frighten him. lie knows as much
about foreign literature as about everything else, and at time- a
unhesitatingly to the pages of the /.' er carried away,
either by impulse or by infatuation, and when people talk about daring
forms and subjects, he easily proves I Pascal and Mol
more audacious than many another. Comparing classical authors with
those of our day, be will take the occasion to show you that the former are
at least as truthful, as bold and as passionately human as the latter, with-
out adding that most of them ly familiar with matters now-
considered recent psychological discoveries.
Jules Lemaitre, the sceptic, tin- very antipodes of M. Brun itiere, having
for his gift as a writer a languid and subtle M. Brunei iere's
share is power, has said something witty about the hitler, as is. in fact,
nearly all he says: — "His orthodoxy is as hold and defiant as heresy."
This orthodoxy refers to literary matti I in M. Brunetii I
merely signitii s, I believe, the contempt of a healthy and robust in
for morbid fancies, hysteria and nous. -use. Nevertheless, this admirer of
Kenan, this follower of Darwin, for he ha- undertaken a vast work, on the
Evolution of Species in the History of Literature, in which Darwinian
principles are applied to literary production! — thi- very free mind, in
short, looks upon llossiiet as the great genius of the period lie considers the
greatest. He has published an annotated edition of B
minis, whence it must not be inferred thai his dogmatism, it he has any from
a scholarly point of view, extends to ri I to belong
to any church, although he has the deepest respect for divine things, and the
conviction that all the science in the world will never make up for it.
Tho^c who have only read M. Brunetiere will he surprised to notice how
his very peculiar style, with its Ion I phrases,
which keep attention on the alert, bends to the requin ments of speech and
the familiarity of conversation. Heisa dazzling talker. Itisalw

is a moralist, a thinker, a philosopher, an historian, a writer, a lecturer. He
is (and everyone agrees on this point, as well as on his talents as an orator)
