In accordance therefore with a proposition of Your Excel leney and the Director of the College, my appointment to the additional office of Civil Engineer to the Depart ment was determined upon, and Mr. C. H. Peabody was immediately engaged to take active charge of the department of Mathematics and Civil Engineering.Prof. Peabody, beside receiving three years instruo tion in Massachusetts Agricultural College, was graduated at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the department of Mechanical Engineering.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
