leasly isolated from one another by
great distances and bad roads, the desire for knowledge was so great among
students that they would travel on
foot from university to university. One
ofthese zealots was Andrew Melville, a
Scot, who afterward returned to his
native land, and became a disciple of
the stern Calvinist, John Knox.
With his staff in his hand, and for
baggage a Hebrew Bible slung over one
shoulder, he trudged over Europe. His
biographer quotes from a quaint chronicle, which relates how he and a friend
eventually reached Geneva, footsore

whom he always regarded with evident affection, and during the civil war
his energetic support was given to the
union cause. Lampson was no less
zealous than Cyrus W. Field in his labors in behalf of the Atlantic cable, and
it was his zeal in that cause which secured for him the honor of a baronetcy.

George succeeded to the title and es
