Excerpt from Andrew P. Peabody, D.D., LL. D: A MemoirDr. Peabody had determined that when he reached the age of seventy, he would resign his position and he carried out his purpose, although some of his friends regretted it, and endeav ored to dissuade him from it. He was at once made Professor Emeritus, and this office he held twelve years, until his death. He now made a third visit to Europe, where, accompanied by his family, he spent a year, while the place left vacant in the College was occupied by different ministers, and is now filled by six clergymen of various denominations. He was so much benefited by his journey abroad, that he came back with the feeling that he had thrown off a full half-score of years. He was immediately elected a member of the Board of Overseers, and was repeatedly re-elected, until he had served ten years. He resumed his literary work, and his productions were as abundant and vigorous as ever. He published his Baccalaureate Sermons in 1885. He translated five ethical treatises of Cicero and Plutarch, adding to each volume an Introduction, a Synopsis and Notes, 1883 - 1886. A series of Lectures on Moral Philosophy appeared in 1887. This was followed by two delightful books entitled Harvard Reminis cences, 1888, and Harvard Graduates whom I have Known, 1890. Though he was not a brilliant speaker, with an impos ing presence, a commanding voice, a fascinating delivery, he was in constant demand for the supply of pulpits.
