Note 214 — Chapter XXXV · FINAL WORK DAYS
Reading edition
In the summer of 1846 Baird's nominal position in Dickinson College had been changed to an active one by his election to a professorship of chemistry and natural history, and his marriage had followed in August. The college had about one hundred students enrolled at that time, and the grammar, or preparatory, school attached to it, about half as many more. See Ruthven Deane (Bibl. No. 51), The Auk, vol. xxiv, p. 65 (1907).
