The event proved their intention, for the retiring Board, on June 25, 1863, without warning, and only giving him a few hours to offer his resignation, summarily removed him from the offices and duties of President and Professor of Philosophy. At the same meeting Dr. Tappan's son was also removed from the position of Librarian, which he had held most successfully for some years, while Dr.
I heard her and Julian talking together about their father's smile, the other day. They had been speaking of some other person's smile Mr. Tappan's, I believe; and presently Una said, "But you know, Julian, that there is no smile like papa's!" "Oh no," replied Julian. "Not like papas!" Una has such an intuitive perception of spheres, that I do not wonder at her feeling about her father.
While the liberal policy which laid the foundation for this expansion of the University's field may properly be said to have been formed during President Tappan's administration, it was continued and wisely expanded under his successors.
Here for the first time, the books were properly shelved and arrangements made for their daily use in an adequate reading-room under the charge of Dr. Tappan's son, John L.

"Concerning what?" snapped Tappan with a grim stare. "Concerning my stockings and my underwear," said Geraldine fiercely. "I'm tired of dressing like a servant!" Mr. Tappan's rugged jaw opened and shut with another snap. "I'm opposed to any such innowation," he said. "And my coming out this winter? And my quarterly allowance? Answer me!" "Time enough when you turn twenty-one, Miss Seagrave.
Lack of funds and co-operation from the Legislature seems to have been the only reason which led to the abandonment of plans for the creation of departments of Agriculture and Military Science which were seriously considered at that time. The inauguration of these different schools was all a part of Dr. Tappan's scheme for the development of a true university.
At the Arsenal, City Hall, and Bazaar, large bodies of troops were assembled, ready to march at a moment's notice; and it was evident that the coming night was to witness a trial of strength between the rioters and the city authorities. As soon as it was fairly dark, large crowds gathered in front of Arthur Tappan's store, and began to stone the building.
