The i dea of issuing this book did not originate with me, but with readers of the newspaper articles who pro fessed a desire to have the biographical and historical in formation contained in the articles preserved in a more permanent form than is afforded by scrap-books. It will be seen from what is said on page 42 how it came about that the Fifty-Year article was followed up with others; and from what is said on page 101 how it came about that the Additional Sketches have been included in the book. The S tatistics have been gathered and prepared for publication with great care, so that they might be reliable ; and it is believed that the mistakes, if any, are very few. The letters are copied from the newspaper, including the editorial headings, without change, except typographical corrections, and the insertion in brackets of a little ex planatory matter.

  • GUIDE to the HITCHCOCK FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note the Hitchcock Family Papers Have Been Received As Gifts by the Pocum
    GUIDE TO THE HITCHCOCK FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note The Hitchcock Family Papers have been received as gifts by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association from several sources over many years. The collection numbers just over 400 items, and date between 1731 and 1979. The papers are those of and relating to the descendants of Luke [d. 1659] and Elizabeth (Gibbons) Hitchcock [d. 1696] of Wethersfield, Connecticut, through their sons John and Luke. The number that accompanies names in the notes below refers to the number assigned to the individual by George Sheldon in genealogical notes on the Hitchcock family in the second volume of his History of Deerfield [1895]. Many of the following biographical notes were selected from that source and from The Genealogy of the Hitchcock Family, compiled and published by Mrs. Edward Hitchcock, Jr. [Amherst, Mass., 1894]. Biographical Notes and Description of Series John Hitchcock4, son of Deacon John2 and Hannah (Chapin) Hitchcock, was born in Springfield, Mass., on April 13, 1670. On September 24, 1691 he married Mary Ball of Springfield and the couple had 11 children, one of whom is mentioned below. He received two shares of the township granted to survivors of the Falls Fight [Turners Falls, Mass.,1676] and their descendants and bequeathed them to his son John. He died in 1751, his widow in 1760. He is represented by four items: deeds to land in Brookfield and Springfield, Mass., dated 1731, a copy of his will, dated December 12, 1750, an account relating to the sale of his estate. Samuel Hitchcock7, son of Ensign John4 and Mary (Ball) Hitchcock, was born in Springfield, Mass., on June 9, 1717.

  • Edward Hitchcock
    MEMOIR EDWARD HITCHCOCK. 1793-1864. BY J. P. LESLEY. HEAD BEFORE THE NATIONAL ACADEMT, AUG. 9, 18C6. 113 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF EDWARD HITCHCOCK. WE cherish the memory of the good and wise, not because they are rare, for the world is full of them; they exist in every society and grade of society, in every business and profession, even in the limited circle of acquaintanceship of every respectable person. But we cherish the memory of the wise and good, because it is dear to us, because we have been taught, encouraged, aided, cheered, blessed, and ennobled by them; and their memory is a continuation of their living words and deeds, and we can make it an heirloom for our children. A man to be remembered is a man to be spoken of. Even in the most barbarous aboriginal stages of the history of mankind, men here and there appeared, whose biographies, could they be written, the world could make good use of. In our own days of high civilization, almost every active life deserves a record. But the law of natural selection rules in literature also, and the struggle for posthumous fame, like the struggle for animal life, is crowned only in the persons of the best competitors. One of these favored few we celebrate this evening. A man of religion, a man of science ; in both, a docile student and an expert teacher ; in both, enthusiastic and self-saer.ficing; in both, gentle, persuasive, affectionate, sympathetic ; in both, shackled by traditions which he both feared and hated to break, yet vigorously holding up his shackles and keeping abreast and in some respects ahead of the advancing age.

  • Scientific Truth, Rightly Understood, Is Religious Truth”: the Life and Works of Reverend Edward Hitchcock, 1793-1864
    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: “SCIENTIFIC TRUTH, RIGHTLY UNDERSTOOD, IS RELIGIOUS TRUTH”: THE LIFE AND WORKS OF REVEREND EDWARD HITCHCOCK, 1793-1864 Ariel Jacob Segal, Master of Arts, 2005 Thesis directed by: Professor James B. Gilbert Depart ment of History Reverend Edward Hitchcock (1793-1864) was an important figure in 19th century American science. He contributed to the fields of geology and paleontology, and was the founder of paleoichnology. The overriding passion of Hitchcock’s life was the reconciliation of science with evangelical Protestant Christianity. For most of his career, he located all of geological time in a “gap” between the first two verses of Genesis, but later tended to view the Creation days themselves as symbolic. Hitchcock also dealt intensively with the scientific understanding of Noah’s flood. At first, he advocated a Deluge covering the entire planet. Subsequently, he held that the Deluge only affected the portion of the planet inhabited by humanity during the time of Noah. Hitchcock used evidence from science to support both natural and revealed religion. He combined this synthesizing with an increasingly extravagant romanticism, and confidently looked forward to continuing his scientific investigations in Heav en. “SCIENTIFIC TRUTH, RIGHTLY UNDERSTOOD, IS RELIGIOUS TRUTH”: THE LIFE AND WORKS OF REVEREND EDWARD HITCHCOCK, 1793-1864 by Ariel Jacob Segal Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2005 Advisory Committee: Professor James B.

    Bifurculapes Hitchcock 1858: a revision of the ichnogenus PATRICK R. GETTY Center for Integrative Geosciences, University of Connecticut, 354 Mansfield Road, Storrs, Connecticut 06269, USA <[email protected]> Date received: 20 August 2016 ¶ Date accepted: 16 November 2016 ABSTRACT Characters differentiating the arthropod trackwayBifurculapes from the similar ichnogenera Lithographus and Copeza include the position, arrangement and orientation of the tracks within the series. Of the five species of Bifurculapes originally described, only Bifurculapes laqueatus and Bifurculapes scolopendroideus are recognized herein; the other three ichnospecies are considered to be nomina dubia or junior subjective synonyms of Bifurculapes laqueatus. Two new specimens, recovered from the Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation of the Hartford Basin in Holyoke, Massachusetts, represent only the second unequivocal occurrence of the ichnogenus outside of the Deerfield Basin. Bifurculapes is currently known only from the Early Jurassic.

  • A Harvest O F Attainments a Student's History of Amherst College
    A H a r v e s t o f Attainments a student’s history of amherst college G Produced with the support of William McC. Vickery ’57 Design: Mary Zyskowski Text: Jennifer Acker ’00 and Daria D’Arienzo Photography: Amherst College Archives and Special Collections, Mead Art Museum, and the Office of Public Affairs, including photographers Frank Ward and Samuel Masinter ’04 Cover: Amherst College in 1821 by Orra White Hitchcock, ca. 1821 Dear New Student: Welcome to Amherst! The college community that you’re joining is one with a long and distinguished history. Since the College’s founding, in 1821, as an institution to “educate indigent young men of piety,” Amherst has sought to educate men and women of exceptional potential from all backgrounds so that they may seek, value, and advance knowledge; engage the world around them; and lead principled lives of consequence. This new booklet—produced with the support of a generous alumnus, William McC. Vickery ’57—is designed to provide you with an introduction to our history, and with a sense of how the College’s traditions have evolved over time. In particular, it is designed to convey the important role that philan- ANSWERS BELOW thropy has played in the life of Amherst College. The College was founded through a Charity Fund that raised a remarkable $50,000 from 275 townspeople and other benefactors. Over the centuries, gifts have allowed the College to grow, develop new programs, and add new resources, including residence halls, athletic facilities and academic buildings. Gifts from alumni, parents and friends support student scholarships, faculty research, and paid student internships with non-profit organizations.

Spruce, B Ravenna, Ohio 44266 ABSTRACT The Hartford basin consists of a long band of clastic sediments and basalts outcropping in Central Connecticut and Massachusetts. Geologists have long considered these sediments to be deposited by uniformitarian processes. Evidence will be presented in support of catastrophic deposition of these sediments over a short period of time. A possible Flood model for the formation of the basin shall be proposed .

  • Report Geology of Vermont
    REPORT ON THE GEOLOGY OF VERMONT: DESCRIPTIVE, THEORETICAL, ECONOMICAL, AND SCENOGRAPHICAL; BY EDWARD HITCHCOCK, LL.D., ALBERT D. HAGER, A.M., EDWARD HITCHCOCK, JR., M.D., CHARLES H. HITCHCOCK, A.M., PROFESSOR OF HYGIENE AND PHYSICAL CULTURE IN AMHERST COLLEGE. GEOLOGIST TO THE STATE OF MAINE. IN TWO VOLUMES. PUBLISHED UNDER VE AUTHORITY OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE, BY ALBERT D. HAGER, PROOTORSVILLE, VT. VOL. I. PRINTED BY THE CLAREMONT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, CLAREMONT, N. 11. 1861. NQTE. The Principal of the Survey desires to state, that the publication of this Report has been entirely under the direction of Mr. A. D. HAGER. In consequence of the great increase of the matter above the original estimate, the work has been a difficult one, and demanded not only much labor, but rigid economy, and great pecuniary responsibility and sacrifice. Yet, as the public will see, it has been carried through in excellent taste, and compares most favorably with the style of analogous Reports in other States. The citizens of Vermont are certainly much indebted to Mr. Hager for his faithful, judicious and persevering efforts - without which, these volumes never could have seen the light in a form so satisfactory. It is but justice, also, to say, that Mr. Hager was fortunate in securing the services of the Messrs. Goddard, of Claremont, for the printing. Had they not possessed unusual skill in deciphering illegible manuscripts and correcting proofs, in some cases where from distance or other causes they had not passed under the eye of the authors, errors would S have abounded where now we trust they are rare.

  • GUIDE to the HITCHCOCK FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note
    GUIDE TO THE HITCHCOCK FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note The Hitchcock Family Papers have been received as gifts by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association from several sources over many years. The collection numbers just over 400 items, and date between 1731 and 1979. The papers are those of and relating to the descendants of Luke [d. 1659] and Elizabeth (Gibbons) Hitchcock [d. 1696] of Wethersfield, Connecticut, through their sons John and Luke. The number that accompanies names in the notes below refers to the number assigned to the individual by George Sheldon in genealogical notes on the Hitchcock family in the second volume of his History of Deerfield [1895]. Many of the following biographical notes were selected from that source and from The Genealogy of the Hitchcock Family, compiled and published by Mrs. Edward Hitchcock, Jr. [Amherst, Mass., 1894]. Biographical Notes and Description of Series John Hitchcock4, son of Deacon John2 and Hannah (Chapin) Hitchcock, was born in Springfield, Mass., on April 13, 1670. On September 24, 1691 he married Mary Ball of Springfield and the couple had 11 children, one of whom is mentioned below. He received two shares of the township granted to survivors of the Falls Fight [Turners Falls, Mass.,1676] and their descendants and bequeathed them to his son John. He died in 1751, his widow in 1760. He is represented by two items: a deed to land in Brookfield, Mass., dated 1731, and a copy of his will, dated December 12, 1750. Samuel Hitchcock7, son of Ensign John4 and Mary (Ball) Hitchcock, was born in Springfield, Mass., on June 9, 1717.
