Norton, trying to do double work at Albany and New Haven, fell a victim to the exposures of winter 18 travel; and Silliman was led to seek remunerative occu- pations elsewhere. Those were the days of which Louns- bury thus speaks: " The college had no money to give, but even if it had it is more than doubtful if it would have given it. No one at that time, however enthusias- tic, ever dreamed of the supreme importance which the natural sciences were soon to assume in every well-de- vised system... of education. The impression prevailed that chemistry, like virtue, must be its own reward. " The youth of this school was spent like a f oundling's, its future was precarious. At length, new forces came to its support. Certain obstacles, elsewhere encoun- tered, made it easy for Professor William A. Norton to bring to Yale his classes in civil engineering, and he was followed by his colleague, Professor John A. Porter, then devoted to chemistry. These appointments were invigorating. Norton was an admirable teacher, well trained at West Point, painstaking, accurate, thorough, well acquainted with the progress of his favorite science and always commanding students of ability.
