REV. OR. JAMES NT COSH, The Venerable Es-PraMent of Priaeetoo College, Fane* Peacefully Away At**** a Long and Useful Life. Nkw York, Nov. 18.—Rev. Dr. James. McCosh, the venerable ex-president of Princeton college, died Friday evening: at the institution which he did so much* to build up, aged 84 years. Dr. McCosh had been critically ill for two weeks.

McCosh, the attending surgeon of the Presbyterian hospital in this city, were with the venerable* educator when the end came. The distinguished patient passed away calmly, without pain. Dr. McCosh will always be remembered as the mah that did more tham any other to make Princeton a great, university. He assumed the presidencyin 1868, coming direct from Queen's college, Belfast, Ireland, where he filled the chair of logic and metaphysics. Hisvery first message to the trustees resulted in an almost immediatebroadening of the scope of Princeton's, education. It contained eight recommendations, on of which,- the suggestion that the growth of a scholarship fund for needy students be fostered,, has played a prominent part in the life of the college. It was at once carried out and Princeton is now almost unrivaled in this respect. Another recommendation of equal importance was that which led to the establishment ot a number of elective courses. Money began to pour into the empty coffers of - the institution and the number of students increased until accommodations were outgrown. Then came the array of building* which sprang up during Dr. McCosh’* time, among which may be mentioned Halstead observatory, 1869; the gymnasium, 1869; Reunion hall, 1870; the* library, 1873; the school >ot science, 1873; University hall, 1876; Witherspoon hall, 1877;, observatory of instruction, 1878; Murray hall, 1879; Marquand chapel, 1881, and the biological laboratory, 1887. In 1887 Dr. McCosh, feeling -that he could not long fulfill his arduous duties as president, retired voluntarily* and was succeeded by Dr. Patton. He still, however, continual his relations with the college, giving a series of lectures in philosophy for several years,. Although advanced in age his mind 1 continued as clear as ever, and only a slight bowing of,*ttte frame and a few furrows in thdcheek indicated the ravages of time. Only last spring he completed a valuable work on ethics. y INDIANA’S VOTE, What the Completed Official Returns of the* Recent Election Show.
