brary is extended to those not connected with the University, and its doors are open every week day, except legal holidays, from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M. (2 P. M. during vacations). As we leave the library, we may see the President's house on the elevated ground to the east. This building is of brick and was a gift to the college from Mr. Peter C. Brooks of Boston. The old mansion house in the corner, next to the one just mentioned, is known as the Dana homestead. In 1823 the family of Chief Justice Dana lived there, and after the cupola was added to it, astronomical observations were made here until the present Observatory was completed. The next family to occupy the house was that of Dr. A. P. Peabody from which fact it is sometimes referred to as the Peabody House. At present it is the home of Professor Palmer and his charming wife, Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, formerly President of Wellesley College. Facing Quincy Square which lies to the south of the Dana House, stands two dor

work upon the Peninsula, at the battle of Malvern Hill he worked down nearly the whole medical force of the army, and performed more amputations and other operations than any other, as my surgeon told me, who worked at the hospital with him. The services of Dr. Revere upon the Peninsula were appreciated by the medical officers of the army. His zeal, ability, courage, and discretion were stated, and he was recommended to promotion to a Surgeoncy by Dr. Dougherty, formerly Brigade Surgeon, Dana's Brigade, and Senior Reserve Surgeon, Sedgwick's Division; Dr. D. W. Hand, Brigade Surgeon, Gorman's Brigade; and Dr. John A. Lidell, Surgeon and Medical Director, Second Corps. After the army reached the James River, the malarial poisons began again to develop their effects upon the systems of the men. Dr. Revere, though himself a sufferer from disease, would not yield to its debilitating effects, but continued with the army in the zealous and faithful discharge of his duties. He accom

nt with his regiment at West Point, when the Rebel General W. H. C. Whiting made his unsuccessful attempt to force the position occupied by Franklin's division and Dana's brigade. The army was greatly hindered in its advance by the condition of the roads; and it was not till towards the last of May that General McClellan found hiation with James River. Franklin's division had been left at White-Oak Swamp to protect the rear, and about noon had become engaged with the enemy. Two brigades, Dana's and Gorman's of Sedgwick's division, were hastily marched to Franklin's support, but upon a fierce and successful attack of the enemy made in the afternoon upon Glendale, in front of the Quaker road, were sent back at double-quick to aid in recovering the position. It was an oppressively hot day, and the leading brigade, Dana's, was immediately hurried into action on its arrival from the swamp, for the exigency was most imminent. The men were panting with exhaustion; many of them had f

ghts by the sound of martial music, but deliberately, for the defence of the law and the support of a cause which he solemnly considered to be just. The Hon. Richard H. Dana, Jr., said of him, after his death:— He had that combination of qualities which led to success in whatever he undertook. . . . . His love was for thatt difficult to secure; but we felt that he would succeed, and he did succeed. Every step he took towards the prosecution of his work illustrates the truth of Mr. Dana's words,—He had determined to become a soldier. Adapting his means to his ends, he began by associating himself with two gentlemen of West Point education and with me, as an escort for the burial of their companion. Thus was he occupied during the week when he was reported missing and mourned as dead. The Hon. Richard H. Dana, Jr., in illustrating his talent for success, says:— When he was made a prisoner at Winchester, and the Rebels were taking all their prisoners to Rich<

Dana and Mason, while selecting a house for the accommodation of the wounded, just outside the lines ohen he was captured, and that he refused to give up his pistol until he was ordered to do so by Dr. Dana, his immediate superior, who expressed great admiration of his assistant. Dr. Mason told mith a destructive fire. Sumner at once hurled at him the head of his gallant column, composed of Dana's and Gorman's brigades,—five excellent regiments in all.

The troops streamed with fixed bayonets into the woods, amid great enthusiasm, checked the enemy's course, drove him back in confusion, and saved the day at Fair Oaks. That one act of heroic dutyreet, surging up against our rear, were repulsed with great loss in the battle of Glendale. Here Dana's brigade was conspicuous, and the Twentieth Massachusetts plucked fresh laurels, though with the
