THE CANADIAN HANDBOOK AND TOURIST'S GUIDE. INTRODUCTION. The Nooks and Corners of Canada, and. more especially of the Lower Province, in addition to the interest they awaken as important sources of Commercial and Agricultural wealth, are invested with no ordinary attraction for the Naturalist, the Antiquary, the Historian, and the Tourist in quest of pleasure or of health. We have often wondered why more of the venturesome spirits amongst our transatlantic friends do not tear themselves away, even for a few months, from London fogs, to visit our distant but more favoured clime. How is it that so few, comparatively speaking, come to enjoy the bracing air and bright summer skies of Canada ? With what zest could the enterprising or eccentric among them undertake a ramble, with rod and gun in hand, from Niagara to Labrador, over the Laurentian Chain of Moun- tains, choosing as rallying points, whereat to compare notes, the summit of Cape Eternity in the Saguenay district, and 6 Introduction.

For details of the work of improving the water-front under the new plans adopted, together with the work of repairing the wooden piers and bulkheads, performed by the Department during the quarter ending June 30, 1875, you are respectfully referred to the following report from the Engineer's Department : NEW YORK, July 1, 1875. EUGENE T. LYNCH, Esq., Secretary of the Board of Docks : SIR—I have the honor to submit for the consideration of the Board of Commissioners governing this Department the following condensed report of work performed under the direction of the Engineer-in-Chief, during the three months ending with June 30, 1875. The winter had been one of unusual severity, and at the beginning of the quarter the weather was still of too unsettled and inclement a nature to permit the immediate resumption of work on the water-front. The greatest activity of the Department in the early part of the season was, in fact, in the repair and renewal of piers damaged by floating ice and otherwise. At new Pier No. I, North river, up to the 1st of April, ten arches had been completed, with the exception of about 1,200 square feet of decking, ana the crib for Arch No. 11 placed in position, DEPARTMENT OF DOCKS. fillea with concrete up to the formation level, and two courses of beton blocks placed thereon.

  • Charles Townsend Olcott
    Charles Townsend Olcott March 28, 1890 — August 1, 1966 Dr. Olcott, Professor of Pathology, Emeritus, Cornell University Medical College, and Consultant Pathologist to The New York Hospital, died at his country home in Orillia, Ontario, on August 1, 1966. Charles Townsend Olcott was born in New York City on March 28, 1890. He graduated A.B., Princeton, in 1911, and M.D., Cornell, in 1916.

After the armistice he was medical officer with the American Expeditionary Force in Siberia. In 1920, Dr. Olcott taught at the Medical School of the University of Colorado and served as resident physician at St. Luke’s Hospital in Denver.

The original researches of the compiler have resulted in the classification of about one thousand members of the family in America not contained in the Talcott and Wynkoop histories, but it is regretted that, owing to a lack of co-operation on the part of many persons to whom circulars of inquiry were ad­ dressed, the latest generations are necessarily incomplete.

    Memorial Statements of the Cornell University Faculty 1960-1969 Volume 4 Memorial Statements of the Cornell University Faculty The memorial statements contained herein were prepared by the Office of the Dean of the University Faculty of Cornell University to honor its faculty for their service to the university. P.C.Tobias de Boer, proofreader J. Robert Cooke, producer ©2010 Cornell University, Office of the Dean of the University Faculty All Rights Reserved Published by the Internet-First University Press http://ifup.cit.cornell.edu/ Founded by J. Robert Cooke and Kenneth M. King The contents of this volume are openly accessible online at ecommons.library.cornell.edu/handle/1813/17811 Preface The custom of honoring each deceased faculty member through a memorial statement was established in 1868, just after the founding of Cornell University. Annually since 1938, the Office of the Dean of the Faculty has produced a memorial booklet which is sent to the families of the deceased and also filed in the university archives. We are now making the entire collection of memorial statements (1868 through 2009) readily available online and, for convenience, are grouping these by the decade in which the death occurred, assembling the memorials alphabetically within the decade. The Statements for the early years (1868 through 1938, assembled by Dean Cornelius Betten and now enlarged to include the remaining years of the 1930s, are in volume one. Many of these entries also included retirement statements; when available, these follow the companion memorial statement in this book. A CD version has also been created. A few printed archival copies are being bound and stored in the Office of the Dean of the Faculty and in the Rare and Manuscript Collection in Kroch Library.
