====== Natural History ======

During the first quarter century or more of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, prior to the extensive departmentalization, a number of faculty members held the title of Professor of Natural History.  The first, the protistologist [[c:clark_henry_james|Henry James Clark]], was appointed in 1872, but succumbed to tuberculosis barely a year later.
