tained a few days ago in Pans
France a glorious and unprece-
dented huccchh having sustained a
thesis for the doctorate of sciences
in the National Uuiversity of
Francp in the ancient and fnnous
center of letters and sciences the
Pal ico of the Sorboune. The
French papers aro full of partiou
lars about and eulogies of Miss
Klumpke1 and lrom them vo ex-
tract the following:
Miss Klumpke wa3 born in

bution to it which is not to be

selves to the study of mathematics.
In the last century Mile. Marie Ag-
neai gave a treaties on differential

time Sophie Germain as great by

with au unfailing application and
interest tho most arduous lectures
on tho highest or deepest branches
Not only her assiduous presence at
their lectures was noticed by the
professor who wore not used to
count any representative of tho fair
sex among their students but her
great capacity equally woudertul
in so young a student won for her
their love and respect and they
offered her an enviable situation in
tho olnervatory of Paris. And
now sho is the first of her sex who

is thuHO who have succeeded in
reaching it can bo couuted on the

On tho day Miss lilumpko came
to the bar of the academy to sustain
her thesis the room and even the
vestibule wore pae.k-d by tho elite
of tho s-cientih' ) public of Piris old
celebroties of science as well as
youug students; and when aftor two
hours of soutenauce M.s Klumpke
was proclaimed a doctor with white
balU in every department of her
trial the general enthusiasm was
unbounded and tho applause
deafening. Certainly the French are
courteous and indulgent to foreign-
ers and particularly to Americans
more than to their own countrymen
in evory circunntancc of life but
their respect for letters science and
art is such that thoy do not permu
thoir courtesy and friendship to m.
lluonco aud cheapen their judge
ments in such mattois. So Amori
ems who receive praise and
recompense in Franco as scientists
artists or litterateurs must be cju
sidered a fully deserving them.

before our faculty for tho degree of

glad to proclaim that you are worthy
of tho degree of dcoteur with all

It wa? after that allocution
that the publio enthusi-
asticilly applauded it ss Klumpke.
When finally the hurrahs had sub
sultd a reporter approached the
young lady and inquired how tho
avoation of mathematics had come
to her.
