Abstract
THIRTY years ago Dr. William Barton, Rogers, the then Director of the Geological Survey of Virginia, and a Professor in the University of that State, founded the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston. Dr. Rogers has since died, but the Institute has grown, and is now the largest scientific and technical school in the United States, and one of the largest in the world. By the catalogue of 1892–93, the number of students was 1060, and the number of teachers 125.
