APPRECIATION OF THE LIFE OF DR. MACLAURIN.

"Dr. Maclaurin's death takes away from us a very striking figure. Although not yet fifty, and having spent only ten years here, he had become one of the leading men in our old community. Learned and sagacious, he was also a man of great practical ability. He seemed gifted with a marvelous power of gathering wealth for the institution over which he presided; and from a structural point of view he created it anew. The great buildings beside the Charles will be an enduring monument to his capacity of forming a great conception and carrying it out, and to how much he was able to accomplish in the few short years in what was to him a foreign land."

Funeral services will be held at the Old South Church, Copley Square, Boston, at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The body of the deceased will lie in state under the dome in the main building of M. I. T. between 12 and 1.30 o'clock the same afternoon.
