he proposes that I devote the first year to lectures & text-book work (which I will not do), such as is done in high schools. As he was a biological prof himself once and did diametrically opposite to what he proposes I shall do. I think he is trying "to work me." He in fact wishes to carry the idea that chemistry needs more mature minds than biology. I hardly think he can force the matter over my protest but if he does I shall need to seek for pastures new. He cites those elementary courses in Botany and Zoology in Freshman year at Harvard. I have made out a list of prominent western colleges and universities and very few indeed of them dabble in such kind of Unnatural History.
Can you give me any advice on the subject? What has become of my paper on Grindelia? Delayed on account of the plates I suppose.
Have you noticed who succeeded Coulter at Nebraska? M. B. Thomas, a Cornell graduate of '90. He was a chum of mine at Cornell, but he doesn't know much beyond Histological Botany.
I am having a good time on the whole. I enjoy my work. No jar or disturbance has occurred yet. I am extremely busy though.
Tho I like my work here still there are many little things that render | 383 2
