Appleton Chapel.

Appleton Chapel was completely filled last evening by an audience who came to hear the eulogy on Professor Gray, delivered by Dr. Alexander McKenzie. The speaker touched briefly on the principal points of the life of the deceased. He spoke of his early fondness for the study of natural history, of his yearning for books and travel, and of his love for integrity and truth. He dwelt with particular emphasis on his career during the forty-five years of his connection with the University. He said that even from the beginning of this period he was recognized as one of the rising men in the scientific world, and that later by his indefatigable labors on the flora of America, he became recognized as the leading botanist of his generation. Dr. McKenzie was peculiarly fitted for his task of giving an estimate of this naturalist's life. He was his friend and ardent admirer, and, thoroughly understanding and appreciating him, was able to throw much valuable light on the character of this gentle and learned man. The choir sang first the hymn "Son of My Soul" and then the anthems, "Come Unto Him," by Tuckerman, and Foster's "But they are in Peace."
