6. Prof. Sanborns, b. in Stoddard, Jan. 13, 1827; m. at Milford, July 30, 1855, Abby A., dau. of Jacob and Abigail Hook (Sanborn) Gove, who was b. in West Amesbury (now Merrimac), Mass., May 8, 1836. Professor Tenney was graduated at Amherst college in 1853, and was for several years instructor in mathematics and natural history at the normal school at Lancaster, Mass., which was under the direction of Prof. William Russell, and he was also lecturer on natural history before the teachers' institutes of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and other states. He was during these years a close student under the direction of Professor Agassiz, in Cambridge. On the opening of Vassar college, in 1865, he was elected professor of natural history in that institution, and in 1868 he was elected to the same chair in Williams college, which position he held until the close of his life. He gave two courses of lectures before the Lowell institute in the city of Boston, and at the time of his death was under engagement to give a third course there. He was the author of "Geology for Teachers, Classes, and Private Students " (1859), "A Manual of Zoology " (1865), "Natural History of Animals," "Natural His- tory Tablets," "Elements of Zoology," and other works "that have been largely adopted as text books, and have been accepted as valuable contributions to the educational appliance in all these departments."
Professor Tenney was an enthusiast in his work, and he was able to inspire his pupils with enthusiasm, as I can testify from expe- rience. He knew nothing of any conflict between science and Christianity ; on the contrary, he discovered in science a help to the teachings of Christianity, and on every available occasion made this thought prominent. He d. at Buchanan, Mich., July 9, 1877. His wife, who has kindly furnished information in regard to the Tenney family, but has been reticent concerning her own work, is also an author, having published "Pictures and Stories of Animals for Little Ones at Home" (New York, 6 vols., 1868), and also con- tributed to the "Natural History of Animals."
