 | | In 1867 he was called to a professorship in the Massachusetts agricultural college, Amherst, where he was also acting president in 1876-'9, and president in 1880-'2. |
 | | Prior to the establishment of experiment stations he began and prosecuted during several years a laborious and extended series of investigations on the movement of sap in growing plants, especially trees, and the force that plants exert in their growth. |
 | | His writings, including the results of his researches, appear in various publications, chiefly in the annual reports of the Massachusetts agricultural college.--His brother, Henry, lawyer, born in North Hadley, Massachusetts, 31 August, 1822, was originally named Henry Smith Stockbridge, but he dropped the Smith in early manhood. |
