In his case the old saying was eminently verified, " The child is father of the man. " Cured of the reckless fancies of his boyhood, that prompted him to follow the roving life of a sailor, he settled himself in the quieter paths of learning. The first taste of the sweets of knowl- edge in an humble Western institution, inspired this man, who from first to last believed in thor- oughness, with a desire for broader culture, such as Eastern colleges afforded. All honor to Mark Hopkins, on whose w...hite hairs so many other honors cluster, that his kindly heart prompted him to send words of welcome to the stranger boy, that 24 brought him to Massachusetts to receive in our own Commonwealth that liberal education of which he afterward made such splendid use. WilHams College drilled him and armed him for his grand career. At twenty-five he was a Pro- fessor of wide repute in the West, and a little later the President of the institution where he began his work as a student. His prospect of eminence in the ranks of scholars w^as fair before him, but the common gravitation of able men in America towards public life drew him out of the quiet retreat of learning into the turbulent arena of politics.
