' Frequent visits to these native haunts have kept Professor Marshall in touch with as distinctive a life as exists in America. New England is an open book to Professor Marshall. And now he plans to spend next year, possibly the next two years abroad, in places in England and on the continent, in Italy and in France, which he needs only to reside in for a time to have full possessiontiso of the spirit of their history and associations Professor Marshall is the senior professor in_the University, holding this distinction as the result of twenty-eight years of service, which, beginning happily when he was but thirty years of age, bring him now to the full tide of his powers and so mark but a chapter in the record of service which will be his.
