President Andrew D. White, of Cornell University, the newly appointed Minister to Germany, was one of the United States Commissioners to the late Paris Exposition, and has written some valuable chapters on exhibitions in general, and especially upon the subject of education as there illustrated. He has long been an intimate friend of the President. Two of the President's sons have gone through Cornell, and one of them is now at that institution.
The new Minister is in his 47th year. In his youth he was connected for a short time with the United States Legation in Russia. He studied at the University of Berlin in 1854-55, after his graduation at Yale. He has been a New York State Senator, and was sent by President Grant to San Domingo, to study the question of annexation, in 1871. He has been a prominent advocate of civil-service reform, and has written much on that subject.
