THE students lose in Dr. Peabody, moreover, not only a kind friend, but a positive benefactor. Many needy young men, without regard to rank, used to receive from him annually sums ranging from fifty to one hundred dollars. It was understood that he received funds from wealthy friends for such aid to needy scholars. It now turns out, however, that by far the largest amount of these funds was given to Professor Peabody - by Professor Peabody himself; in other words, that with the departure of our pastor from the College, it loses one of its most effectual benefactors. Greatly as we respect the modesty of Dr. Peabody, we deem it our duty to show how great is the loss the College sustains in his resignation.
