Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

James Clarke Welling, graduate of the Princeton class of 1844, and professor in 1870, was born in Trenton, N. J., on July 14, 1825. While in college he attained distinction as a classical scholar and graceful writer, and for general excellence stood among the first in a class of sixty-five. The professor of Latin and belles-lettres, Dr. James W. A lexander, discerned in him those rare literary qualities by which he was always distinguished, and specially commended his essay on the Causes of Historical Discrepancy, for its maturity of thought and style. He was also proficient in natural philosophy as then taught by Professor Joseph Henry, whose magnetic discoveries he was afterwards able to vindicate against rival claimants in Washington. The Princeton of that day, as represented by Professors Henry and Stephen A lexander, with President Welling, has had a moulding influence upon the Smithsonian Institution from its origin. After his graduation, Mr. Welling at first turned his thoughts to the law as a profession. No doubt his legal studies and tastes, which he never quite abandoned, aided in fitting him for the career of journalist and educator, to which he was destined. He began his life work in 1848 in New York City, as principal of the Collegiate Institute and writer on 1R eprinted from the Princeton College Bulletin, A pril, 1895.
