David Sears also made an addition, large, liberal, and unique, to the Sears Foundation of Literature and Benevolence. By what considera- tions he was influenced may be seen from his letter, Il6 A HISTORY OF AMHERST COLLEGE. which was read at the dedication of the Woods Cab- inet and the celebration which was connected with it : " While the benefactors of the college are thus honored, " says he, "the faculty of the college should come in for their share of gratitude. I have been a silent, but no...t inattentive observer of them. I have been informed of their devotion to their liter- ary labors, of their self-denials, of their voluntary surrender of a part of their moderate salaries, re- serving only enough for a bare subsistence, to re- lieve the college in its necessity. Such disinterested zeal stands out brightly, and merits an honorable record. " While money was thus flowing in from individual donors and from the treasury of the state, Professor Adams presented to the college his great zoological collection, and Professor Shepard offered to deposit his splendid cabinet as soon as a fireproof building could be erected suitable to receive it.
