Preferring to run every risk rather than encounter the horrors of Anderson- ville or Libby, a desperate effort \\as made to escape, but all were shot down except himself.

Six children. HENRY JAMES CLARK, B.A., B.Sc., the first professor of Natu- ral History at the Mass. Agricultural College, was the son of Rev. Henry Porter and Abigail Jackson (Orton) Clark, and was born 22d June, 1826, at Easton, Mass. His father removed to Brook- lyn, N. Y., where he lived many years and where his son received much of his early training. He received his collegiate education at the University of the City of New York, graduating B. A., in 1848. Immediately after leaving college he taught for some time at White Plains, N. Y. He commenced the study of botany under Dr. Asa Gray, at Cambridge, in 1850. While a student at the Botanic Garden, he taught in the academy at Westfield, Mass., for a single term, apparently achieving much success as a teacher, and forming life-long friendships. Soon after this he became a student of Professor Agassiz, and for several years was his pri- vate assistant. Professor Agassiz, early in 1857, spoke of him enthusiastically, remarking to a friend, "Clark has become the most accurate observer in the country." He graduated from the Lawrence Scientific School, Cambridge, in 1854, taking the de- 104 MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. gree of B.Sc. Between 1856 and 1863 he was associated with Agassiz in the preparation of the anatomical and embryological portions of the "Contribution to the Natural History of the United States." In June, 1860 he was appointed adjunct Professor of Zoology in Harvard University, which he held until the expiration of his term of office in 1865. He gave a course of lectures on his- tology at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, in 1861, and delivered a course of twelve lectures on "Mind in Nature ; or the Origin of Life, and the Mode of Development of Animals," at the Lowell Institute, Boston, in 1864. He was appointed Professor of Botany, Zoology, and Geology, in the Agricultural College of Pennsylvania, in December, 1<S66. Here he remained until April, 1869, when he was appointed to the chair of Natural History of the University of Kentucky. He lived at Lexington, Kentucky, until February, 1872, when he was elected Professor of Comparative Anatomy and Veterinary Sci- ence in the Massachusetts Agricultural College. Busy with his work at Amherst, and struggling with the fatal disease, tabes mesenterica, he wasted away, and died on the 1st July, 1873, in the forty-eighth year of his age. He was a member of most of the learned societies in this country, while his works have been recognized and referred to by the leading zoologists of Europe. In 1856 he was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 1870, an associate fellow of the same. In 1857 he became a member of the Boston Society of Natural History. In 1865 he was chosen a corresponding member of the American Microscopical Society ; in 1866, corresponding member of the Essex Institute, and in 1868, correspondent of the Phila- delphia Academy of Natural Sciences. In 1872 he was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences, which, at that time, was limited in membership to fifty of the foremost scientists of the country. He married, 29th September, 1854, at Boston, Mary Young Holbrook. Seven of their eight children are living, one daughter having died in infancy. Mr. Clarke's first love for science seems to have grown from his fondness for flowers. After he became a student of zoology his love for botany remained undimiuished. "The influence of his knowledge of botany on his zoological studies was marked. It prepared him for his studies on spontaneous generation, on the GENERAL CATALOGUE. 105 theory of the cell, on the structure of the protozoa and the 'nature of protoplasm. In the use of the microscope he showed not only mechanical skill and ingenuity, but a patience, caution, and expe- rience in difficult points in histology, which undoubtedly placed him at the head of observers in this country, and rendered him, perhaps, inferior to few in Europe. He used the highest powers with a skill that few if any living observers have surpassed. His worfc entitled ' Mind in Nature ' is, in all respects, for its usually sound and clear thinking, its breadth of view, and the amount of original work it contains, perhaps the most remarkable general zoological work as yet produced in this country. If the author had left us no other work, this alone would testify to years of the severest labor and independent thought. It anticipated certain points in histology, and the structure of the Protozoa and sponges especially, which have made the succeeding labors of some Euro- pean observers notable." Dr. A. S. Packard. Jr., in a Memoir read before the National Academy of Sciences, in 1874, speaks of Mr. Clark as follows: k - Within the year past we have lost a member who may be said, without disparagement to others labor- ino- in the same field, to have been the foremost American histolo- O gist and microscopist, and one of our most skilful and accom- plished biologists ; one the rule of whose scientific life was a practical application of experimental philosophy. A true natu- ralist, he was an enthusiast, and yet in his methods of study severe, exact, and in all respects scholarly." A list of the scientific writings of Henry James Clark is here subjoined.

The first effort to establish in Massachusetts an institution where scientific and practical agriculture should be taught, was made in 1849, by Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, in an address deliv- ered in September of that year, before the Norfolk Agricultural Society upon the subject of agricultural education. The sugges- tions contained in this address were received with so much favor, that the following year (1850) a bill was prepared providing for the establishment of an agricultural college and an experimental farm. This bill passed the Senate without a dissenting vote but was rejected in the House. The next step was the creation of a Board of Commissioners, whose duty should be to report, at the next session of the legislature, upon the expediency of establish- ing agricultural schools or colleges. This commission which con- sisted of Marshall P. Wilder, Edward Hitchcock and others, made their report to the legislature in 1851. This report embraced the investigations of Dr. Hitchcock in regard to the agricultural schools and colleges of Europe, and contained an account of more than 350 of these institutions. Nothing further was done towards organizing a college of agriculture till 1856. In that year several of the gentlemen who had been most active in the project for planting a college, now associated together for the establishment of a school, and obtained an act of incorporation under the title of the Massachusetts School of Agriculture. Of the persons named in this Act, the name of Marshall P. Wilder heads the list. In 1860, its charter was transferred to several enterprising citi- zens of Springfield, who determined to raise by subscription $75,- 000 for the opening of the school in that city, relying upon the legislature for a further endowment. This project would probably have succeeded, had not the call to arms absorbed public atten- tion. In 1858, Hon. Justin S. Merrill, representative from Ver_ GENERAL CATALOGUE. 109 mont, submitted a bill to Congress, donating a portion of the public lands for the endowment of a college in each state, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts. This bill, after prolonged discussions for two ses- sions, passed both houses of Congress, but was vetoed by Presi- dent James Buchanan. The measure was finally enacted July 2, 1862, being approved by President Abraham Lincoln. 1863, April 18. Acceptance of congressional grant by the Legislature of Massachusetts. 1863, April 27.
