Professor W. R. Harper Accepts Yale Oriental Languages Chair
We notice that Professor W. R. Harper, of the Union Theological Seminary, Morgan Park, Ill., has accepted the chair of Oriental languages at Yale College. He had previously declined the presidency of Chicago University. In Professor Harper, Yale College will have a valuable accession to her faculty. He is an enthusiastic teacher, and has the faculty of begetting enthusiasm in his pupils, even through the medium of correspondence. And he is not content with merely imparting a knowledge of the Hebrew and its kindred languages; he is devoted to the Old Testament, and is doing a good work in directing attention to that too much neglected portion of the Bible.
