His Hair Turned White

The Detroit Sunday News tells how the hair of Rev. Andrew Ten Brook, of this city, turned white (in a single night. He ñlled the chair of intellectual and moral philosophy in the University from 1844 to 1851. In the words of the News: "He gave up his chair in the University, expecting to become the editor of a religious paper in New York. His partners, however, lelt him in the lurch, treacherously shutting him out at the last moment. His distre'ss over this outcome of misplaced confidence was so great that in one night his hair changed to white, He made au extended tour in Europe and when he returned he became tbe librarían of the University, retaining that position till 1864. He thei) retired from all pedagogical pursuits. It is a mistake to suppose, however, that he has ceased to work. There are few busier men in Ann Arbor than he. He is the author of a work on state universities which has attained wide popularity, and is the translator of Grindley's famous "Thirty Years' War." He is now preparing a work entitled "Our Four Centuries," which will be especially welcome in this, the year of the Columbian quadri-centennial."
