Michigan By. H. G. Wells
With an abrupt manner, and never intending to make ex-
hibition of his scholarship, yet he was really distinguished for his learning, and it has been said with seeming authority that his suggestions as to the arrangements for professorships and courses of study in the University were received by the Regents with marked favor.
