 Geological Survey of Canada.

 Gentlemen, 
 
 Understanding that my friend, Dr. Thomas Stcrry Hunt, is ;i 
 candidate for the chair of Geology about to be established in the 
 School of Mines, in Columbia College, I am desirous of stating that I 
 consider him pre-eminently fitted for the appointment. Having 
 worked together as colleagues for the last nineteen years in the 
 investigation of Canadian Geology, I have had ample oppo)-tu- 
 uity to know that few equal him in the attainments required for the 
 proper study and promotion of the science, and that he applies his 
 knowledge with rare genius and skill, and with that unremitting 
 industry and perseverance which is derived from a love of tlie 
 .subject. 
 
 Being an accomplished chemist and niineralogist, Dr. Hunt has 
 especially distinguished himself in investigating the difficult prob- 
 lem of rock-metamorphism, and his numerous publications on the 
 subject, illustrated by his analyses of minerals and mineral waters, 
 have received the commendations of the leaders in geological science 
 both in Europe and America. 
 
 Economic Geology is a branch to which great attention has been 
 [)aid by the Canadian Survey, and the experience of Dr. Hunt 
 will enable him to point out, with effect, the various applications 
 of geological science to the useful purposes of life, which is one of 
 the chief objects in view in a School of Mines. 
 
 ]^r. Hunt communicates his knowledge with clearness and preci- 
 sion. He would enter upon t'le duties of his chair already prepared, 
 by the courses of lectures which be has for some years past been 
 accustomed to give in the University of IMcGill College at Montreal.

 and that of Laval at Quebec, upon tlio very subjects which he would

 T have the honor to be.

 To the Trustees of Columbia College. 
 
 Gentlemen, 
 
 Understanding that Dr. T. Stcrry Hunt is a candidate for the 
 Chair of Geology in Columbia College, I have much pleasure in 
 stating that I have been intimately acquainted with Dr. Hunt for 
 the last ten years, and have thus enjoyed special opportunities of 
 appreciating his great ability and success as an original investiga- 
 tor in some of the most difficult questions of Theoretical Geology, 
 and also his skill as a practical geologist and as a teacher of Geology 
 and allied subjects. On these grounds, as well as from my know- 
 ledge of his personal character, and of his deservedly hi^h scientific 
 reputation, I have no hesitation in stating my belief that he is 
 eminently fitted to adorn the Chair for which he is an applicant. 
 
 I have the honour to be

 From Prufessor James IIali,. 
 
 Tij tlu rrcsideiit and Trustees of Columbia Coilegr. 
 
 ^TJentlkmen, 
 
 r have recently learned that Professor T. Stcrry Hunt, F.ll.S., 
 (if the Geological Survey of Canada, will be a candidate for the 
 Chair of Ceology to be filled in the Mininj^ School connected with 
 Columbia College, and T beg leave to offer my most cordial reconi- 
 mcndation in his favor. I have known Mr. Hunt personally for 
 many years, and have been familiar with the course of his studies^ 
 and investigations: and it is not too much to say that lie has done 
 more than any other person to advance and cstablisn uppn a clear 
 ;aid indisputable I'oundation, the science of Chemical Geology and 
 Mineralogy. In his knowledge of Structural Geology, also, I regard 
 Mr. Hunt as holding a pre-eminent position. But his statvs 
 among scientific men is not to be left to the opinion of his immc- 
 <liatc friends and co-laborers : the record of his published investi- 
 gations is quite sufficient to place him in the front rank among all 
 those cultivating chemical and geological science. The courses 
 of investigation pursued by Mr. Hunt arc especially applicable to 
 the teaching ret|uired in a School of Mines. 
 
 I conceive it to be of the first importance to all institutions 
 where science is taught, to secure the services of men who can 
 show to the world by the published record of their investigations, 
 that they are not only capable of keeping up with the progress of 
 science, but of advancir^ our knowledge of the departments in 
 which they arc working. It is by this means that the world 
 becomes aware of the sources of progress in science; and to such 
 places and such teachers will those students resort who wish to 
 prepare themselves to enter the arena, whether for scientific investi- 
 gation for its own sake, or for its practical application to the wants 
 of civilized life. 
 
 1 am, very respectfully, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

From l*rores.sor Benjamin Silliaian. 
 To tin- Trustees of Columbia College. 
 Gentlemen, 
 
 Professor T. Sterry Hunt, lor many years eunnected with the 
 Geological Survey of Canada, under Sir William Logan, is, I under- 
 stand, a candidate for the Geological Chair about to be established 
 in your institution. It gives me pleasure to have an opportunity 
 to bear my testimony to the remarkable attainments of Professor 
 Hunt in Geology, Mineralogy and Chemistry. Nineteen years of 
 active service in the field and the laboratory, in the prosecution 
 of the Canadian Survey, have given to him a fund of experience 
 as an original observer second to that of no other Geologist in 
 America. I have known him intimately since 1845, when he was 
 for a time associated with me as assistant here, and can speak from 
 personal knowledge of his high attainments in many departments 
 of physical science, of the fertility of his genius, and of his great 
 power of acquiring, retaining and communicating knowledge. He 
 has also had several years of experience as a teacher, both in ihe 
 Laval University at Quebec, and in McGill College at Montreal, 
 
 His reputation is equalled in P^urope by that of few Amer- 
 ican scientists of his age, us is evinced by the honorable notice 
 taken of his various scientific labors, and his membership of many 
 noted Scientific Societies. The list of his original contributions 
 to Geology, Mineralogy and Chemistry, in the journals of this 
 country, is of great extent, and will doubtless be submitted to yon. 
 
 In appointing Mr. Hunt to the chair in question you will, in 
 my humble judgment, .secure a most able and efficient officer, and 
 add new lustre to your honored institution. 
 
 Respectfully yours,

 Professor T. Sterry Hunt is one of the first Geologists and 
 Chemists of America, both practical and theoretical, and ha.s done 
 
much in the way ol' viginul investigation. Ho has also had long 
 fxperience as a. lecturer in the Universities in Canada. His name 
 will bring scientific reputation to any institution witli which he 
 may be connected.

 To the Trustees of Columbia College. 
 Gentlemen, 
 
 Having recently learned that my esteemed friend T. Sterry 
 Hunt, Ilsq., of the Geological Survey of Canada, is a candidate for 
 the new Chair of Geology about to be established in the School of 
 Mines in your University, I take the liberty of expressing my 
 conviction of his high qualification for that professorship. Culti- 
 vating and teaching for many years past some of the very branches 
 of science for the successful pursuit of which Mr. Hunt has made 
 himself eminent among Chemists aud Geologists, as well in Europe 
 as in America, I have had occasion to study his scientific publi- 
 cations, and I take pleasure in testifying my high admiration of 
 his learning, and his capacity in teaching the subjects to which \m 
 has applied his talents. Residing for several years chiefly in 
 Great Britain, I am aware of the excellent reputation which Mr. 
 Hunt has in Europe, not only for a rare originality in research, 
 but for an uncommon lucidity of diction in his scientific writings. 
 
 Feeling assured that his superior endowments will make Mr. 
 Hunt a valuable acquisition to any scientific institution which may 
 invoke his talent and assiduity, I do not hesitate to earnestly 
 recommend him for the Geological Chair in your School of Mines. 
 
 Yours respectfully,

 Gentlemen, 
 
 I have bcccn requested to give my testimony to the qualifica- 
 tions of one of the candidates for the chair of Geology in Columbia 
 College, Pr. T. Sterry Hunt, formerly of Connecticut, and now 
 of the Geological Survey of Canada, and Professor of Chemistry 
 and Geology at Montreal and Quebec. I do so most willingly, for 
 it has been for some years my cherished wish to got Mr. Hunt 
 hack among us. I sincerely trust that his high reputation for 
 past work, and his great genius for observation and induc^'on will 
 induce you to obtain his services for the rest Oi his life, ibr what 
 r cannot but look upon as the great central chair of Geological

 your students, and will inspire ttn m to original discoveries. 
 
 I cannot but think that it would be particularly desirable, and 
 redound greatly to the future prosperity and reputation of Colum- 
 bia College, to secure an acknowledged master in this special 
 branch of Geological .science, because it is nowhere taught in 
 America by any geologist cxeopt Mr. Hu..^. Structural Geology 
 has several admirable teachers; Paleontological Geology can be 
 learned nt several of our Colleges and Universities ly the help of 
 fmc museurjs alrcu ly in existence ; but the new and most impor- 
 tant branch of Chenncal Geology, in the present a .cptation of the 
 term, as formulated jy Hunt and a few of his lellow-vv'orker.s 
 abroad, is nowhere expounded in the United States by competent 
 authority. This makes it all the more desirable that the great 
 future university of .science in the metropolis of the United States 
 should have it, taught, ;md by its best master. 
 
 With great respect,

 Gentlemen, 
 
 Having been informed by Mr. T. Sterry Hunt, of the Geological 
 Survey of Canada, tliut he is a candidate for the chair of Geology 
 in the new School of Klines in your College, I have great plea- 
 sure in recommending him as one whom I consider eminently 
 (pialified to fill that place. I know that my friend Sir William 
 Logan has always en^ertained a high opinion of him, as a most 
 efficient inomber of his ^ ps ; and I have myself derived great 
 
advantage IVoni the study of his numerous incuioir.s, in which he 
 has brought to bear his profound knowledge of Chemistry and 
 Mineralogy on the classification of rocks, and on various theoretical 
 problems in Geology. In addition to his labors in the laboratory, 
 and his observations in the field, we are indebted to Mr. Hunt for 
 many bold and original views and speculations in several depart- 
 ments of Geology, by which the progress of that science has been 
 
 greatly advanced. 
 
 I have the honor to be, 
 
 Gentlemen, 
 
 Your obedient Servant,

 16 Bei-orave Sqfare, London, 12th Jan., 1866. 
 
 My Dear Sir, 
 
 x\lthou!:jh T am sorry to hear that you think of leaving Canada, 
 (for by that means my eminent friend, Sir William Logan, will lose 
 his right-hand man,) I shall always rejoice to hear that you 
 succeed in obtaining any appointment that you desire to hold, and 
 I am sure that the great and important city of New York will bo 
 most fortunate if it is provided with so sound a teacher of geol- 
 ogical science as yourself. 
 
 Few geologists combine, as you do in your own person, a tliorougli 
 acquaintance with chemistry and greet experience in the field- 
 that experience gained in conjunction with and under the eye of a 
 teacher who is assuredly shown to be second to none by the talent 
 and perspicacity with which he has determined the geological 
 structure of Canada. 
 
 Wishing you every success, and thanking you on my own part 
 for your clear elucidation of the structure of my dear Silurian 
 rocks where they have undergone metamorphism, 
 
 T remain yours sincerely,

 -My Dear SrERRv Hunt, 
 
 I have nuicli pleasure in bearing testimony that 1 consider that 
 your appointment to the professorship of Geology in the New 
 .School of Mines is in every way desirable. The clearness and 
 precision of your style, both in speaking and writing, is very 
 marked, and would be oi great importance to the students. In my 
 opinion you possess the faculty of explaining difficult subjects in a 
 manner that is not at all common. Your numerous memoirs also, 
 on many geological questions of the highest scientific and practical 
 value in Geology and Mineralogy, have gained you a wide and well 
 deserved reputation both in America and in Europe ; wliile your 
 great knowledge of Chemistry has enabled you to bring that 
 science to bear upon the solving of many geological problems in a 
 way that unfortunately few geologists are able to emulate. 
 
 I shall consider the School of Mines fortunate if they succeed 
 in obtaining your services. 
 
 Lver sincerely yours,
