R. 40 MEMORIAL OF NATHANIEL HOLMES MORISON. Uhler, of Baltimore, brother of the librarian. The lectures were given in the evening, with the intention of accom- modating young men engaged in active business, as well as the higher classes in public schools where physical experiments were seldom performed. A fee of $5 was charged for the scientific course, as in the case of Colonel Johnston's course on literature. In his report Dr. Morison said : " Very few of the class we aimed to reach attended,... while nearly all women were cut off, from the inconve- nience of attending at night. " The usual hour for all class lectures at the Peabody was consequently fixed at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The examples of the univer- sity lectures at Cambridge, those at the South Kensington Museum, and those at the Royal Institution in London, were quoted by Dr. Morison as precedents for day-lectures. A syllabus was printed for the class in physics, giving an outline of the course of instruction. It is an interest- ing fact that written examinations were set on this course and certificates were awarded.
