Professor Clapp graduated from Illinois College in 1875 at the head of a large class and took the degree of Ph. D. at Yale in 1886. He taught in Illinois College till 1890, when he became an instructor at Yale. His work there has been of a high order, and the Yale faculty have in vain offered him all inducements in their power in hopes that he might remain there.

Professor Clapp's resignation will take effect at the close of the present term. He will make the fourth Yale instructor at the University of California, the others being Martin Kellogg '51, the president; Rev. Thomas Bacon '72, professor of European history; Louis DuPont Syle '79, professor of English, and W. W. Heffelfinger '89, instructor in physical culture.
