INTRODUCTION.
By President Bashford.
The Ohio Wesleyan University is a child of faith. In
1841, Charles Elliott, J. M. Trimble and W. P. Strickland
drove from Urbana to Delaware to look at the grounds and
hotel building which the citizens of the latter place had
offered to the Methodist Church for college purposes. When
the three preachers returned to the seat of the Conference,
only one of them had mdhey enough with him to pay for
the carriage in which they made the journey ; and Dr.
Trimble made the first contribution to the college by meeting
the expenses of that historic visit. Dr. Elliott's speech
portraying the possibilities of a college for Ohio Methodism
awakened great enthusiasm, and led the Conference to accept
the gift of the citizens of Delaware and to undertake to
launch a University upon faith. But in his wildest dreams
no member of that Conference supposed that within fifty
years the college would secure a larger endowment than
Yale secured during the first one hundred and fifty years of
her existence ; that during the life-time of the first teachers
the college would send out 2,200 graduates and 15,000
students with their lives touched to nobler issues by the
refining influence of Christian culture ; that in addition to
enriching every department of life, the college would send
forth thousands of teachers, and hundreds of ministers, and
more missionaries than the Methodist Church had commis-
sioned down to the day when the college was founded. The
past at least is secure, as the solid achievements recounted
in the following pages amply demonstrate.
The incipient University is still a child of faith. With
the need of a new library and a large endowment to sustain
it ; with the need of ten more professorships in the college,
and the cry for special departments, and the demand for
VI tniroducHon,
professional schools, — in a word, with the imperative need
of millions of money, of inspiring teachers, and of divine
power, — all, to develop the talents and enrich the lives and
to transform the characters of those who come to us ; the
toilers of to-day are looking on every side and upward for
help and crying with the apostle of the nations : '' Who is
sufficient for these things? "
But the toilers of to-day as little dream of the possibilities
of the next half century, as those who worked upon the
foundations dreamed of the achievements of the first fifty
years. With over twelve hundred students crowding our
halls ; with representatives now at the college from eighty-
four counties in Ohio and thirty-one States in the Union and
thirteen foreign countries; with the splendid buildings
erected and in process of erection ; with over a million
dollars now invested in the University, and the Holy Spirit
touching the hearts and turning the thoughts of men of
means toward this golden opportunity ; with our older
graduates wisely and bravely helping to shape the civilization
of the twentieth century, and our recent representatives
winning honors and taking high rank in the foremost profes-
sional schools in the land ; with the college aiming to develop
every faculty of every student to its highest power, and to de-
vote the whole to the loftiest service of humanity ; and above
all with the divine blessing resting upon us in daily work and
affording gracious manifestations of God's presence in count-
less seasons of refreshing, and the Holy Spirit eager to guide
us in the great tasks that yet remain unfinished — we boldly
prophesy that if trustees and teachers and taught remain true
to the lofty standard lifted up, live in communion with God and
devote their lives to the service of mankind, the Ohio Wes-
leyan University will become in the twentieth century one ot
the most potent factors of Methodism throughout the world.
THE OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY,
1844— 1894.
By Profe>ssor WiIvLiam G. Wii^wams.
The Ohio Wesleyan Universit}^ was founded in 1844. It
owes its location, if not its establishment at that particular
date, to the famous White Sulphur Spring in Delaware.
This spring had early attracted the attention of tourists and
seekers after health. In order to accommodate these, and to
encourage further patronage, two enterprising citizens, Judge
Thomas W. Powell and Columbus W. Kent, erected in the
year 1833, on a spacious lot, embraciug the spring, a fine
hotel, which soon became known to the citizens as the Man-
sion House. The waters were salubrious, and the locality
healthful ; and for some years the Mansion House was kept
in successful operation. But the town of Delaware was not
very widely known, and was not easily accessible ; and it
was, perhaps, too early in the history of the State to hope
for large returns from a business enterprise of this kind ;
and, at last, in the Summer of 1841, Judge Powell, who had
become the sole proprietor, concluded to abandon the
attempt to establish a Western watering-place.
The spring property being thus brought into the market, it
was suggested by the Rev. Adam Poe, the Methodist pastor
in Delaware, that the citizens should purchase it, and offer
it to the Ohio and the North Ohio Conferences, jointly, as a
site for a Methodist college, Mr. Poe's suggestion met with
8 Ohio Wesley an University:
a cordial approval, both from the citizens of Delaware, and
from the members of the two Conferences.
The circumstances of Ohio Methodism at that time made
the suggestion especially opportune. As early as 182 1, the
Ohio Conference, in connection with the Kentucky Confer-
ence, had established at Augusta, in Kentucky, the first
Methodist institution in the world vested with collegiate
functions. For many years it was the only Methodist college
in the Church ; it had able scholars in its Faculty, and it edu-
cated many distinguished men. Among them, our own
adopted sons, our honored Randolph S. Foster and William
T. McClintick are illustrious instances. But Augusta Col-
lege was unfortunately located. It was in an obscure village
in Kentucky ; it was almost inaccessible ; the '^ plant," as
we say in business enterprises, was insignificant ; but, espe-
cially, it was on the wrong side of the river to suit the grow-
ing anti-slavery sentiment of the people in Ohio ; and it was
at length manifest that the institution could never command
their patronage or their contributions. After an experiment
of twenty years, the college was a pronounced failure, and
was eventually discontinued.
The failure of Augusta College to meet the wants of Ohio
Methodism left this largest Protestant denomination in Ohio
without any denominational school of a higher grade than
an academy. Naturally, the thoughtful men of Methodism
were solicitous in regard to the educational future of their
Church in Ohio ; but, as yet, their thoughts and counsels
had not crystallized into action.
As early as September, 1840, Dr. Edward Thomson, then
Principal of Norwalk Seminary, in a long report to the
North Ohio Conference, from the Committee on Education,
said : "There is no Methodist college in Ohio, We blush to
think that it contains no institution to which our youth can

resort for collegiate instruction, without imbibing ideas at
variance with the religion of their fathers, and the Church
of their adoption. There is no State in the country in
which the Methodist Church is more in need of a college
than Ohio." This, so far as we know, was the first public,
or at least published, expression of the need of a Methodist
college in Ohio. Yet Dr. Thomson did not, in this paper,
go so far as to recommend the immediate establishment of a
college. But Dr. Elliott, in "kn editorial in the Western
Christian Advocate^ December 3rd, 1841, in alluding to the
Delaware movement, said: "For several years past there has
been much conversation among the Methodists of Ohio,
respecting the establishment of a college, or university, of
the first order, in a central part of the State." Evidently
the condition of things in Ohio Methodism was ripe for such
a movement ; it only wanted a leader.
It was this peculiar conjunction of circumstances that
led Dr. Poe to his thought. With him, to think was to act ;
and in this matter the Church followed his lead. It is need-
less now to inquire whether the whole movement was not
precipitate. No doubt, had the Conferences invited competi-
tion, they could have had much larger offers than the one
from Delaware.
The property thus proposed for a college site comprised
about ten acres of ground, lying in the suburbs of Delaware,
towards the southeast quarter of the town, and separated
from the rest of the town by the insignificant " Delaware
Run." The town has since grown quite beyond the college
campus. Of this ground, a part, on which the Mansion
House stood, was held in fee simple ; and the remainder, in-
cluding the spring, was held by a perpetual lease without
rent, from the corporation of Delaware. The investment in
the grounds and buildings was about $25,000 ; but the owner
lo Ohio Wesley an University:
offered to convey his interests in the entire property for
$10,000. This sum, it was thought, could be raised by a sub-
scription among the citizens of the town and county ; and,
accordingly, a delegation was appointed to wait on the Con-
ferences, and ascertain whether they would accept the prop-
erty, if conveyed to them as proposed.
The North Ohio Conference met August nth, 1841, at
Wooster. To this body the delegation first applied. The
Conference considered the matter favorably, and appointed
a committee of five to confer with a like committee to be
appointed by the Ohio Conference. August 25tli, the dele-
gation appeared before the Ohio Conference, at Urbana. On
the following day, Drs. C. Elliott, J. M. Trimble and W. P.
Strickland were deputed by the Conference to visit Delaware
and examine the premises. They carried back a favorable
report, and many long remembered the Irish enthusiasm
with which Dr. Elliott advocated the establishment of a
Methodist college, and the acceptance of this property. The
Conference was ready for the measure, and voted that it
was expedient to establish a Methodist college in Ohio ; that
the two Conferences (embracing the western two-thirds of
the State ) should unite in the enterprise ; and that, if the
Sulphur Spring property were conveyed to the Church, on
the terms proposed, Delaware should be selected as the seat
of the college. A committee of five was appointed to act
with the committee from the Northern Conference.
The joint committee thus constituted met at Delaware,
September ist, 1841. The committee consisted of Revs.
John H. Power, Adam Poe, Edward Thomson, James Brew-
ster and William S. Morrow, from the North Ohio Confer-
ence, and Revs. Jacob Young, James B. Finley, Charles
Elliott, Edmund W. Sehon and Joseph M. Trimble, from
the Ohio Conference. Of these distinguished men, to whom
REV, JOSEPH M. TRIMBI^E, D. D.
12 Ohio Wesley an University :
was committed this weighty responsibility, Dr. Joseph M.
Trimble was for many years the last survivor, and died
May 6th, 1891. The committee voted to accept the property
if the citizens should perfect their offer, and if the title
should be made satisfactory to the Conferences.
The way being thus prepared, a subscription was opened
by the citizens and was signed by one hundred and seventy-,
two persons.''' No subscription exceeded $500, and the
aggregate amounted to but $9,000. That the movement
might not fail, certain parties, trusting to future local sub-
scriptions, obligated themselves for the deficit. But no
further subscriptions were obtained, and some years after-
ward, $500 were raised by voluntary contributions among
the ministers in the North Ohio Conference, to relieve the
Rev. Adam Poe from the payment of a note given on this
account. Such was the difficulty, at that time, of raising
even this small sum for an enterprise, which, as the citizens
said in the preamble to their subscription, " would greatly
add to the value of property in the town and coimty, and
be of great public utility and benefit."
But the town was small ; at the United States census the
year before, 1840, the population was but 893 ; there was not
much business, and there was little accumulated wealth in
the community. The inducement they offered to secure the
location of a college, destined to be the central institution
of a great Church, was absurdly small. But the amount
'■■• A striking illustration of the advance in w^ze'j'-paper enterprise since that day is
shown in the fact that the Delaware papers of 1841 made not the slightest mention,
editorial or '' local," of this movement, the most important that has ever affected the
interests of the town. The only reference to the matter during the whole progress of
the negotiation is found in the following notice, given in the advertising columns of
The Olentangy Gazette.
" METHODIST EPISCOPAI. COIXEGE.
A general meeting of the subscribers will be held at the Exchange Hotel, this
Saturday evening, October 23rd, 1841. It is important that all be there."
Fifty Years of History, 13
raised in Delaware was the just measure of the ability of
the place at that time. The University was welcomed to
the town, and it has often since met with a generous response
from the citizens to its appeals for aid. On the other hand,
it has brought with it population, and wealth, and prosper-
ity, to the town. President Thomson, in his inaugural, esti-
mated that the University added from the first at least
$20,000 annually to the business of the town. It is surely
within bounds to say, that -now, with its yearly income of
$90,000 expended here, and with its 1,200 students who pay
for their living and expenses, not to mention the many
families that the University has attracted hither, it adds at
least a quarter of a million of dollars annually to the busi-
ness movements of Delaware. Perhaps, after another fifty
years, the education of Delaware will be so far advanced
that it will not be good form for any citizen here to die
without leaving something to the Ohio Wesleyan University.
The Conference Committee met again November 17th,
1841, and received from Judge Powell a bond for the con-
veyance of the property donated by the citizens. The title
was finally made in 1850 to the Board of Trustees. In addi-
tion to the ten acres thus donated by the citizens, the com-
mittee purchased from Judge Powell an adjacent property,
on the south of the original grounds, of five acres more, at
a cost of $5,500, and the furniture of the Mansion House for
about $2,000 more. Dr. Trimble paid Judge Powell fifty
dollars as an earnest to bind the contract for the additional
purchase, the first money given to the University, the first
money paid on its debt.
It was certainly full late in the history of Ohio Methodism
for the establishment of a university. The other denomina-
tions in the State had already good foundations for their sev-
eral denominational schools ; Catholic, Presbyterian, Congre-
14 Ohio Wesley an University :
gational, Episcopalian, Baptist. The population of the State
in 1840 was 1,500,000, and the Methodist Church in Ohio
then numbered 150,000 members. In 1844, when the school
was opened, there were within the proper territory of the two
patronizing Conferences, 107,000 members. In the many
Methodist families thus represented, besides others in the
State who might be counted on as patrons, there were many
thousand young men who needed an education ; and there
was wealth enough in the Church on which to rely for at
least an incipient college endowment.
ORGANIZATION.
Immediate steps were now taken looking to a formal
organization. A committee of Jacob Young, Joseph M. Trim-
ble and Adam Poe was appointed to apply to the Legisla-
ture for an act of incorporation. A special charter, under
the old State Constitution, conferring University powers,
was granted by the Legislature March 7th, 1842. This char-
ter was evidently drafted by Dr. Trimble. It is marked by
a lack of lawyer-like niceties and guarded details ; but it
adequately secures the legal tenure of the property, and by
its very indefiniteness grants the trustees the amplest possible
academic powers. The corporate powers were vested in a
board of twenty-one persons, from different parts of the
State. These were William Neflf, Samuel Williams, ex-
Governor Allen Trimble, Lemuel Reynolds, Thomas Orr,
William Bishop, William Armstrong, Rev. James B. Finley,
Rev. Jacob Young, Rev. Edmund W. Sehon, Rev. Leonidas
L. Hamline, Judge Patrick G. Goode, George B. Arnold, ex-
Governor Mordecai Bartley, Frederick C. Welch, Wilder
Joy, Henry Ebbert, John H. Harris, Rev. Adam Poe, Rev.
William Burke, Rev. Leonard B. Gurley. These men were
of prominence in State or in Church. They have long since
Fifty Years of History. 15
yielded their places to others. Dr. Gurley, the last survivor,
died in 1880, at the ripe age of seventy-six years.
Of these trustees, though the charter did not so prescribe,
fourteen were laymen and seven were ministers ; and this
ratio of ministers and laymen has always been kept in filling
vacancies. By the provisions of the charter, the corporators
at first held their office for life. The right of perpetuation
of the Board was vested in the two patronizing Conferences,
each appointing to all existing vacancies, alternately. These
Conferences were afterwards* divided into four, each with the
same right of appointment. This arrangement for alternate
appointment continued until the year 1869, when, by a gen-
eral law of the State, under the new Constitution, the Presi-
dent of the University was made ex officio a member of the
Board, and the remaining twenty members were divided into
four classes of five each, which were assigned, severally, to
the four Conferences, and the tenure of office was reduced to
five years, so that each Conference should annually elect one
trustee for the period of five years. In 1871, the charter
was further so modified as to give the Association of Alumni
a representation in the Board, equal to that of each Annual
Conference ; and in 1883 the West Virginia Conference was
admitted as one of the patronizing bodies, with equal right
of representation in the Board. The number of acting trus-
tees is now thirty-one. The trusteeship has been held by
one hundred and nineteen different persons. Of these, per-
haps a score had scarcely more than a nominal relation to
the Board, until they resigned or went out by expiration of
office. About twenty-five have died during their term of
office.
ACADEMIC WORK.
One of the conditions of the donation of the property was
that the academic work of the college should be begun
1 6 Ohio Wesley an University :
within five years ; but the committees from the Conferences
did not wait even until the organization of the Board of
Trustees. To provide for the safety of the buildings and to
meet the public expectation, it was thought best to com-
mence this work immediately ; and a sub-committee of
Revs. Adam Poe and William S. Morrow was appointed to
employ a teacher to open a preparatory school. This com-
mittee at once engaged Capt. James D. Cobb, a graduate of
West Point, and an ex-army officer, as instructor in the new
school for the year 1841-42. Capt. Cobb was about fifty
years of age, and was assisted by his son. It was arranged
that he should have the free use of the Mansion House, but
look to the receipts from tuition for his compensation. He
had a mixed school of boys and girls. At the end of the
school year, Capt. Cobb resigned his place and moved to the
South for his health.
The Board of Trustees held their first meeting at Hamil-
ton, where the Ohio Conference was in session, October ist,
1842. At this meeting, the Board elected the Rev. Edward
Thomson, at that time the Principal of Norwalk Seminary,
to the presidency of the University, with the understanding
that the appointment was only nominal for the present, but
a pledge to the Church and the public that a college faculty
would be appointed, and the college opened at no distant
day. The Board, however, determined that a Preparatory
school should meanwhile be maintained, and appointed the
Rev. Solomon Howard as Principal, with authority to employ
his own assistants. He was given the use of the buildings
and furniture, and was expected to get his support from the
tuition fees of the pupils. Professor Howard began his school
November ist, 1842, and continued it successfully for two
years. Both sexes were still admitted, and the attendance
was largely local. He had at first but four little boys as his
Fifty Years of History. 17
pupils, but the number for the year was 130. During the
second year of his school he was assisted by Mr. Flavel A.
Dickinson, a recent graduate of Yale College, who had
taught one year as Principal of the Delaware Academy, and
who brought his school over en masse.
Meantime, in 1843, an appeal was made to the Church for
an endowment fund, and for the sale of scholarships. It
was hoped that, by these agencies, the institution could be
safely guarded from financial failure, and a good attendance
of students secured.
By the midsummer of 1844, the Board of Trustees was
prepared to begin the academic work of a college.
The Trustees felt great confidence in the final success of a
school supported by the large numbers and the growing
wealth of the Methodist Church in Ohio. Relying upon
these, the Board, September 25th, 1844, resolved to organize
a Faculty, and to open the institution with a college curricu-
lum and college classes. Dr. Thomson, who had recently
been elected editor of the Ladies^ Repository^ was re-ap-
pointed President, though again with the understanding that
he should not immediately enter upon duty. As it was fore-
seen that the school would for a while be small, and the in-
come limited, the Board established but four additional
places in the Faculty, and made the following appointments :
Rev. Herman M. Johnson, Professor of Ancient Languages ;
Rev. Solomon Howard, Professor of Mathematics ; William
G. Williams, Principal of the Preparatory Department ;
Enoch G. Dial, Assistant in the Preparatory Department.
The salaries paid, or rather promised, to these men were
gauged by the resources which the Board hoped to have at
their command by the end of the year. The President's
salary, when he should enter upon duty, was fixed at $800 ;
the Professors were to be paid $600 each, and the teachers in
1 8 Ohio Wesley an University :
the Preparatory Department $400 and $350 respectively; but
it was many years before even these meager salaries were paid
as they became due.
Wednesday, November 13th, 1844, was the day appointed
and advertised for the opening of the school. The weather
was disagreeable ; the day was rainy and chill ; the sur-
roundings were not comfortable, and the prospect was not
encouraging. Dr. Thomson was present but for a day or
two, and did not enter upon duty for nearly two years after-
ward, and Prof. Johnson was detained from duty until after
the winter holidays. The other three teachers of the five
who were appointed to positions in the Faculty reported for
duty. They met in the basement of the Mansion House,
once the dining-room, which had been temporarily fitted up
as a chapel. This room might, if crowded, have held a
hundred and fifty students, but only twenty-nine presented
themselves for enrollment. This attendance was not as large
as the teachers had hoped, or reasonably expected. But the
students now were all males, of a maturer age, and more ad-
vanced standing, and most of them were from other parts of
the State. From this small number the Faculty were able
to organize all the college classes below senior, though the
representation in the upper classes was very small. By the
end of the year, there were only two juniors, two sophomores,
fourteen freshmen, and there were ninety- two in the Prepara-
tory and other courses. Such was the initial catalogue of a
university, which, long before its jubilee year, enrolled more
than forty times the first number of students, annually, and
graduates a hundred at a time. It was the beginning,
though humble, of a momentous movement, whose influences
have been felt around the globe.
But it is long before an unpretending and unheralded
movement such as this can conciliate and concentrate on
Fifty Years of History. 19
itself all thoughts and all resources. The Conferences and
the Board of Trustees found that before the University could
gather many students or much money, the Church at large
needed to be educated to the just conception of a college ;
and to the special claims which the new college presented
for their support. It may be doubted, indeed, whether the
education of the Church, in these respects, is yet complete.
DELAWARE IN 1844.
Delaware in 1844 was a little village of twelve hundred
inhabitants, away from the lines of travel, of commerce, of
intercourse. There were no railroads in the State, and but
few good pikes. In bad weather it took the tri-weekly stage
a whole day to plough its way hither from Columbus. There
were no paved walks or graveled roadways in the town ;
and in the Winter the Faculty and students extemporized
walks of tan-bark, or else literally waded through the mud
to their lodgings down town, to the post-office, or to church.
There were no street lights, and on dark nights lanterns
were necessary. There was no town-clock ; but the court-
house bell w^as rung at 6 o'clock in the morning and at 9
o'clock at night. There was no bookstore in town ; there
was a single weekly newspaper. There were two small
common school buildings ; the Delaware Academy built ten
years before by a stock company, in the interests of a better
education, had completely failed, and was standing empty.
There was not a good church building in the place. But the
several congregations, Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal,
were prosperous, and their pulpits were well filled. The
experienced and venerable Rev. Henry Van Deman was the
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church ; Dr. Tuttle, (after-
wards President of Wabash College), was the pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Church ; Rev. William L. Harris, (after-
20 Ohio Wesley an University:
wards Professor, Missionary Secretary, Bishop), was the
pastor of the Methodist Church ; and the able and catholic
Dr. Bli H. Canfield was the rector of the Episcopal Church.
These men and their successors would have honored any
pulpit in the land. Under such impulses, all these congre-
gations within a few years afterwards erected good and
commodious church edifices.
The University grounds, while not a public common, were
often the common pasture of the town, overrun by cows
and hogs ; the surface was mostly as nature left it, rough,
ungraded, brushy, and in the low ground, swampy. The
sulphur spring was, of course, the chief attraction. To
strangers, the taste and the odor of the water are not invit-
ing ; but the water is wholesome and refreshing ; and peo-
ple soon forget its sulphurous character, and acquire a fond-
ness for the water which they never lose. The condition of
the spring in its natural state was that of an almost inacces-
sible marsh. Later, about 1830, the citizens filled in around
the spring, and put in a modest stone basin, level with the
surface. This was its condition when it came into the pos-
session of the University. The present attractive appearance
of the spring, its fine marble basin, and the pleasant ap-
proaches, are due to the public spirit, many years ago (1870),
of Mr. Sidney Moore, President of the Delaware County
National Bank.
The Mansion House, now renamed '* Elliott Hall," was
the only building available for Academic purposes, and was
ill adapted to this end. It was of frame, lathed and cemented
on the outside ; but in the interior finely finished in walnut
and tastefully decorated with plaster mouldings. The
drawing-room and parlors on the first floor, and some of the
large rooms on the second floor, were converted into recita-
tion rooms or the professors' studies. The chambers on the
Fifty Years of History. 2i
third floor were let to students, vmtil, some years later, they
also were needed for general purposes. In the basement, the
old Mansion House dining-room was reconstructed into the
college chapel ; and the large kitchen, with its huge fire-
place and brick oven, became the lecture-room and labora-
tory for the Professor of Natural Science. On the south side
of the main building was a large two-story annex, which
was let as a boarding-house to a steward for the accommoda-
tion of two or three of the Faculty and a half-score of students
who had rooms in the building. In the rear of the Mansion
House, on the east side, were long, wide porches, level with
the first and second floors, 12 and 25 feet from the ground.
In 1848, the boarding-house was discontinued ; the cement
outside of the main building was replaced with a good close-
jointed covering. The lofty and unsafe porches were torn
down, and the annex removed to a location near the spring.
Here it was let to students, and, happily, was soon burned
down. With this exception, and the exception of the first
Monnett Hall of the Ohio Wesleyan Female College, as
further mentioned, no one of the college buildings has ever
been destroyed by fire, or even seriously damaged.
ENDOWMENT.
Education, the world over, is largely a gratuity, and es-
pecially so in the higher institutions of learning. In the
older and better-endowed colleges, no student pays a tenth
of the actual cost of his education. Grounds, buildings,
cabinets, libraries, endowments, and all the educational ap-
pliances of science and art, are the gifts of the founders of
the school to the students who attend it. A college, to be
eminently successful in its work, should have all these before
it opens its doors to the public. Fortunately, this is some-
times realized in the benefactions of wealthy men. But in
22 Ohio Wesley an University :
former times, in this Western country, neither State nor de-
nominational schools could afford to wait for the accumula-
tion of all these before beginning their work ; and the result
was, that most of our schools were started upon very meager
foundations. Such was the case with the Ohio Wesleyan
University. The Board of Trustees started with nothing,
and were in debt. To secure a present support and a future
growth, was, of course, a matter of immediate and vital con-
cern.
The only resources of the institution were the contribu-
tions of its friends ; and these, at first, came slowly and spar-
ingly; and it was not until 1849 that the indebtedness of
$7,000 for the purchase-money was all paid. We have seen
that the Conferences early devised plans for the endowment
of the University. In 1843, the Ohio Conference appointed
Revs. Frederick Merrick and Uriah Heath, agents to raise
funds from donations to the University, or by the sale of
scholarships entitling the bearer to tuition, at the rate of $100
for five years. The following year, the North Ohio Confer-
ence appointed similar agents to work within its bounds.
These agents, in the course of two years, obtained sub-
scriptions and notes for scholarships to the amount of about
$30,000, and some donations of land worth perhaps $15,000
more. The interest on these notes, and some tuition fees,
constituted the sole revenue of the institution for the support
of the Faculty. Tuition for the regular Academic studies
was early fixed at $30 a year; and it has never been changed,
though, since the era of cheap scholarships, no student has
paid tuition. Art studies alone are not covered by the schol-
arships. As the sale of scholarships progressed, the tuition
gradually fell to nothing. Perhaps two or three hundred of
these higher-priced scholarships were sold, mostly " on time ;"
but, unfortunately, many of them were never paid for, though
Fifty Years of History. 23
the tuition had been promptly claimed and enjoyed. The
Faculty was then wholly dependent on the income from the
endowment notes. But, though agents were continued in
the field for the sale of scholarships, the aggregate did not
perceptibly increase. At the end of six years, the total net
assets were estimated at only $70,000, and, of this, the en-
dowment money and subscriptions reached only $54,000.
The institution was still on the borders of inanition. It was
evident, that, unless a m5re effective policy were adopted,
the school was destined to failure, or, at best, to a feeble ex-
istence.
At length, in the Summer of 1849, the Faculty, upon the
suggestion of Professor Johnson, devised and proposed to the
Board of Trustees a system of scholarships at a much cheap-
er rate than those at first sold. It was hoped that these
would be popular, and be sold to an extent sufficient to give
the institution both money and students for, at least, all
present necessities. The trustees held a special session to
consider the subject, September 24, 1849, at Dayton, where
the Ohio Conference was in session. The measure was felt
to be perilous ; a failure would jeopard all ; and they deliber-
ated a long time before they came to any conclusion. Final-
ly, with the approval of the Conference, the Board adopted
the plan, and ordered the sale of scholarships, entitling the
holder to tuition, at the following rates : (i) for three years'
tuition, $15 ; (2) for four years' tuition, $20 ; (3) for six years'
tuition, $25 ; (4) for eight years' tuition, $30. Unlike the old
series of scholarships, the new ones were to be paid for in
full before they were used.
The system was needlessly complex ; the second and fourth
rates alone would have been better than the four ; and the
price could have been one-half higher without lessening
their salableness. But the success which crowned the effort
24 Ohio Wesleyan University :
quieted all criticisms. Three agents were appointed by each
Conference to put the new scholarships upon the market. In
two years, they had sold nearly three thousand, and paid
into the treasury of the university, besides the expense of
the agency and the support of the Faculty meanwhile, a siim
sufficient to raise the nominal endowment, in 1854, to a
round $100,000.
The exact number of scholarships sold was 3,740, calling
for a little more than 25,000 years of tuition. It was es-
timated that an average annual attendance of 500 students
would exhaust this large aggregate in fifty years. As the
attendance has not averaged this figure, the period for the
final retirement of the scholarships may be somewhat pro-
longed. Subsequently, the agents, under the authority of the
Board, issued a few hundred additional scholarships to the
full value of money or lands ostensibly given to the Uni-
versity, but for which the institution paid a full equivalent.
But this policy has now been stopped; and the Board has
ordered that no more scholarships be sold. After the issue
of the cheap scholarships, the Board, to obviate complaints
by the purchasers of the old higher-priced scholarships, with
unbusiness-like facility extended the time of the old scholar-
ships at a ratio equal to the new. This added many hun-
dred years of tuition to the obligations of the University.
In 1890, there were still due, on all these series of scholar-
ships, fourteen thousand years of tuition. At the present
average attendance of students, this large obligation may be
cancelled in twenty years.
Part of this amount was still in unproductive land, and
part in uncollected scholarship notes. But the income for
the following year, 1855, was estimated to be $8,500, which
the Committee of Ways and Means, in their report to the
Board, say " will be amply sufficient to meet and defray all
Fifty Years of History. 25
current expenses." In view of this hopeful condition of the
finances, the salaries of the Faculty were now increased as
follows : the President was paid $1,400; the professors, $1,000
each ; the tutors, $500 each."^ The value of the real estate,
and other property of the University, had also largely in-
creased ; and may be estimated at another $100,000. Thus,
the end of the first decennium saw the institution in a
healthful financial condition, and with good prospects for the
future.
But the most gratifying result of the new scholarship sys-
tem was the increase in the enrollment of students. In
1850, before the effort began, the number of students was
257; in 1851, after the agents had been a year at work, the
number was 506, nearly double the attendance of the pre-
vious year. This was not an unexpected result; indeed, one
of the dangers that had been predicted was that of over-
whelming numbers. But the friends of the measure relied
on the general laws of average in such cases, and the Faculty
anticipated just about the number that came. They could
readily enough instruct this number, or even more.
This sudden influx of students, brought about by the offer
of cheap scholarships, revealed what was, and is, a constant
condition of things throughout the land ; it revealed the
hunger of the people for just such opportunities as the Uni-
versity gladly put within their reach. There are, all the
time, five thousand, perhaps ten thousand, young people, in
our Methodist families in Ohio, who need only a wise sug-
gestion from their pastors or from other friends, to turn their
■■• In 1857, the salaries were again raised by an addition of $200 each, all round. During
the war, the salaries were reduced to their former figure ; but, after the return of business
prosperity, they were restored to the rate paid in 1857 ; and, later, again, and again, in-
creased. For twenty years past, the President has been paid $3,000 a year, and a house
free of rent, and the professors have been paid, on an average, $1,600 a year. But there
is scarcely a member of the Faculty who has not been offered larger salaries elsewhere.
26 Ohio Wesleyan University :
thoughts in this direction, and to arouse their ambition to
make the most of their largest possibilities.
The greatest inconvenience from this sudden increase in
the students was due to the want of a chapel large enough
to hold them. This was a want that had already been seri-
ously felt. As early as 1847, an effort was made to raise the
means for the erection of a chapel, by the publication of a
volume of sermons "by the Bishops, and the Senior Preachers
of the Ohio and North Ohio Conferences." The volume was
published, and about a thousand copies were sold. The ef-
fort was, of course, a failure. As the sum of $1,000 would
not have laid even the foundation of a building, the Board
the next year devoted the amount to the repairs already
mentioned of the Mansion House ; and the hope of a build-
ing was for the present abandoned.
Meanwhile, after the great increase in the attendance, the
old basement chapel was far-away outgrown, and the relig-
ious services of the University were temporarily transferred
to the basement of William Street Methodist Church. Even
this was too straitened for the army of collegians that gath-
ered for morning prayers. One day. President Thomson
read at these services, for the morning lesson, the first
chapter of Haggai : " Is the time not come, the time that
the Lord's house should be built?" i\s he read, his heart
was touched, and a few minutes after, he came, deeply
moved, to Professor Merrick, with a written proposition to
sell his modest home, in Cincinnati, worth a thousand dol-
lars, and give it all to aid in erecting a suitable chapel for
the University. It was a word that burned like fire, a trum-
pet call to duty, to which the Church was quick to respond.
Professor Merrick, liimself, now kindled to enthusiasm,
went out with his old skill as an agent and in a few weeks
brought sixteen thousand dollars back for the new chapel.
Fifty Years of History. 27
On Saturday, July 26, 1851, during Commencement week, the
corner-stone was laid of a building large enough for a chapel,
and a number of recitation-rooms. The building, which cost
about $20,000, was dedicated the following year. The struct-
ure was three stories in height, and measured eighty-five feet
by fifty-five. The main audience room, twenty-three feet
high, covered the entire upper floor. The capacity of this
room was about six hundred sittings, which was then thought
the utmost probable need of the institution for long years
to come. The building was afterwards named Thomson
Chapel, in honor of the first President.
The Conference agencies for the endowment and building
fund were continued for some years ; and it will be seen by
reference to the table of statistics further on that the endow-
ment slowly increased for a number of years. At length, in
1866, the centennial year of American Methodism, a general
advance was made throughout the connection. Educational
interests were everywhere the foremost ; and, in Ohio, the
result of the effort was a large addition to the funds of the
University. A portion was devoted to building and general
improvement ; and the endowment was increased to consid-
erably more than $200,000. Unfortunately, the resources
for building and grounds did not prove as ample as was
hoped; and, after the " hard times " of 1873 set in, it was
deemed necessary to draw upon the endowment fund for
these purposes. About $40,000 were thus consumed. The
growth of this fund has, nevertheless, been so constant, that
the heavy draft on it was soon more than made good.
Of the amounts given by individuals to the University, it
is proper to name a few. Mr. Jedediah Allen early gave a
tract of ground in Marion County, which he estimated at
$15,000 ; it was finally sold in 1856 for nearly $18,000.
Thomas Parrott, Esq., of Dayton, one of the trustees, be-
28 Ohio Wesleyan University:
queathed in 1864, $18,000, which was devoted to the endow-
ment of the chair of Mathematics. John R. Wright, Esq.,
of Cincinnati, another trustee, and an alumnus, paid in 1866,
$25,000, and obtained subscriptions from others to the amount
of $5,000 more, for the endowment of the chair of Greek
Language and Literature. Phineas P. Mast, Esq., also a trus-
tee and alumnus, has paid in $10,000, besides other benefac-
tions. Mrs. Eliza Chrisman, now of Topeka, Kan., paid
$10,000, and has subscribed an additional $10,000 to the chair
of Biblical Literature. Judge D. J. Corey, of Findlay, O.,
paid $10,000. Mrs. Rebecca Brown, of Bellefontaine, O., gave
a tract of land adjacent to that town, which yielded $6,000,
toward the endowment of the chair of Latin. Mr. John B.
Kessler, of Troy, O., left a bequest (1868) which yielded about
$8,000. Mr. William L. Ripley, of Columbus, O., bequeathed
(1880) real estate to the University, which yielded $10,000.
Within the last decade, the contributions to the endow-
ment fund of the University have been more frequent, and
some of them on a generous scale. Of these donations, in
cash or realty, may be mentioned the following, a large part
of which, however, are subject to life annuities to the donors
or some member of their families. The list is given here
without reference to the dates of the donations or bequests.
Rev. Dr. Joseph M. Trimble, for twenty years President of the
Board of Trustees, $46,000 ; Rev. Dr. Gaylord H. Hartupee,
an alumnus and trustee of the University, $30,000 ; another
honored alumnus, long one of our Faculty, $27,000 in cash,
besides other large provisions ; Amasa Bishop, $23,000 ;
James S. Brittain, $30,000 ; Clinton J. and Sarah J. Howard,
$22,000 ; James S. Mitchell, $16,000 ; Henry Amrine, $9,000 ;
Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Leonard B. Gurley, $13,000 ; Rev. Stephen
C. Frampton, $8,000 ; Rev. Dr. David Rutledge, one of the
agents of the University, $6,000; and the Association of
Fifty Years of History. 29
Alumni, for an Alumni Professorship, $12,000 in cash and
$6,000 in interest-bearing notes.
A number of smaller gifts, of the value severally of $5,000
or less, but aggregating perhaps $35,000, are equally worthy
of special mention, but must be grouped in this general state-
ment. But besides these amounts, already paid in, towards
the endowment of the University, the Board has been form-
ally notified of two subscriptions, of $30,000 each, soon to be
paid, for the establishment of new professorships, by two of
the trustees, Morris Sharp, Esq., of Washington C. H., O., and
Zenas L. White, Esq., of Columbus, O. We know of other
friends who are devising even more liberal things for the
University, and who purpose to become their own executors,
but are not yet quite ready to carry out their intentions ; and
still others who have executed their wills with generous be-
quests to the future wants of the University.
In addition to these gifts for the permanent endowment of
the institution, many noble gifts have come into the treasury
for various other specific objects. President Merrick, some
years before his death, transferred to the University his
whole estate, valued at $18,000, for the foundation of an an-
nual lectureship on Practical Religion. David S. Gray, Esq.,
of Columbus, the president of the Board of Trustees, gave
$27,000 to the completion of Gray Chapel in the Univer-
sity Hall. This magnificent structure, whose total cost
reaches nearly $200,000, was paid for by the gifts of many
others, equally generous, though from smaller means. And
within the present year, Charles E. Slocum, M. D., of Defi-
ance, Ohio, now one of the Trustees of the University, has
generously provided for the erection of a library building
on the University campus that will cost from $50,000 to
$60,000. His gift is one of the largest single gifts ever re-
ceived by the University ; and the Slocum Library building
30 Ohio Wesley an University:
will long stand as a monument to the generosity of the
giver, and of his wise provision for one of the great wants
of the institution.
From the foregoing, it appears that no chair in the Uni-
versity, with the single exception of the professorship of
Greek Language and Literature, has yet had a living endow-
ment. Five or six other chairs have received the names of
generous donors, but not one of these foundations is self-sup-
porting, and several of them have less than half of a mini-
mum endowment, and the salaries have to be paid from the
miscellaneous endowments of the University. Clearly, the
policy of the Board hereafter should be to give no name to
any professorship, in recognition of a sum less than a suffi-
cient support of the incumbent. The minimum for the en-
dowment of a chair is now thirty thousand dollars, and sev-
eral new professorships have been promised at this rate.
But the minimum ought to be raised to fifty thousand dol-
lars ; and even this amount will, in the near future, prove too
little to pay the salary of competent men. Already many
colleges, and even common schools, pay much larger salaries
to experts and specialists ; many of the pulpits and offices in
the Church pay from three to five thousand dollars ; and the
Ohio Wesleyan University has already felt the draft upon its
Faculty from both these quarters.
As we have seen, the University has no income from tui-
tion fees. Most of the large colleges in the East charge
from $ioo to $150 a year for tuition, and a large part of their
income arises from this source. For example, in 1891-92,
Harvard University received from the students in the College
of Arts, with an enrollment but little larger than ours, over
$300,000 in tuition fees. The Ohio Wesleyan aims to make
education as nearly free as possible. With no revenue from
the fees of students, the institution relies on the endowment

32 Ohio Wesley an University :
for the support of the Faculty. Yet from the meagerness
of its income, the University has never had as large a
force of teachers as it needs, and has never paid its teachers
as large salaries as they could get in other schools or in
other professions.
The amount of the endowment at the successive periods in
our history is shown by the statistical table at the end of
this history. The growth of the fund has been slow, but
secure, and it now reaches the sum of five hundred thousand
dollars, of which, however, two hundred thousand dollars is
still subject to annuity, and yields but little to the present
maintenance of the school. The endowmeut fund has been
guarded by the trustees with scrupulous care, and but little
that has come into their control has ever been lost to the in-
stitution. One very liberal provision in behalf of the Uni-
versity, which had been secured to the institution by will,
carefully executed many years before the death of the testator,

was finally lost to the cause for which he had long toiled, by
his revocation of the will in extreme old age if not dotage,
and at the point of death.
students' aid fund.
By the contributions from the Conferences and the Churchy
Board of Education, the University has an annual sum ol
about four thousand dollars for the help of worthy students
The amount given to each is small, and usually in the foq
of a loan. The late John Taylor, of Zanesville, Ohio, left
the University for this cause a property worth $10,000, whi
will be realized, however, only at a future day. The
William Glenn, of Cincinnati, left a bequest to the Univerjty
which yields $350 a year to the same object. The institupn
greatly wants some immediate provision of generous amant

for a students' aid fund, like that found in some of the
Eastern colleges.
Occasional prizes for excellence in scholarship have been
offered by friends, but no systematic provision of this nature
has yet been made.
LIBRARY.
For the first ten years, the institution had nothing that
was worthy of the name of library. A few hundred books
of a very miscellaneous character, old and refuse, mostly
second-hand school books, had been slowly gathered by the
agents. But they were rarely referred to and never read. In
1853, Mr. William Sturges, of Putnam, Ohio, offered the
University a liberal subscription for a library, on condition
that within the year a further subscription of $15,000 should
be secured for a suitable library building. Professor Merrick
undertook the agency for this, as he had for the chapel, and
raised the amount within a few weeks. The building was
finished and dedicated in 1856. Meanwhile, President
Thomson visited Europe and purchased a valuable library of
about three thousand volumes with the money — $6,600 —
paid by Mr. Sturges. But this foundation by Mr. Sturges,
valuable as it was at that early date, now constitutes but a
small part of the present library of the University. Two
large alcoves in the library are the contributions respectively
of Dr. Joseph M. Trimble and William A. Ingham, Esq.,
members of the Board of Trustees. Since Dr. Trimble's
death, his widow has placed in his alcove about five hundred
volumes from his private library. The widow of the late
Rev. Dr. Charles Elliott has given the bulk of his private
library, rich in patristic and controversial literature, to the
University. The widow of Dr. James F. Chalfant, of the
Cincinnati Conference, has given his select library to furnish
an alcove bearing his name. The late Dr. Benjamin St.
34 Ohio Wesleyan University :
James Fry, editor of the Central Christian Advocate^ St.
Louis, Mo., left his unique library of Methodist Church his-
tory to the University. The late Bishop Isaac W. Wiley be-
queathed to the University his valuable library, which now
fills an alcove bearing the inscription, '' The William E.
Wiley Memorial Library," in memory of his son who died
in September, 1883, while a member of the senior class of
the University. The friends of the late Rev. John N. Irvin,
B. D., an honored and scholarly alumnus of the class of
1870, have purchased his valuable library for the University.
It stands in an alcove bearing his name. The late John O.
McDowell, M. D., an alumnus and trustee of the University,
bequeathed his select medical library of over 300 volumes as
a foundation for " The McDowell Medical Library." This
has been supplemented by a donation from Mrs. Philip
Roettinger, of Cincinnati, of about two hundred volumes
from the medical library of her father, the late A. C. Mc-
Chesney, M. D., of Cincinnati. These bequests of profes-
sional, theological and medical literature are especially nota-
ble as gifts which point to the coming post-graduate depart-
ments of the University.
John W. King, Esq., an alumnus of the University and
long a valuable trustee, has undertaken to secure for his
Alma Mater complete sets of all the great quarterly reviews
and monthly magazines of the English world; and he has
already placed about four hundred volumes of this choice
literature in " The King Periodical Alcove." The Rev. Dr.
David H. Moore, editor of the Western Christian Advocate^
has furnished for the University library a complete set in
thirty-nine large volumes, of Hubert H. Bancroft's History
of the Pacific States, and of Mexico.
Several of the University clubs, especially the Delaware
Association of Alumnae, have contributed liberally to the

riches of the library ; and other persons have made special
additions of books in English Literature, Historical Research,
Criticism and Art, for " seminary work " in the several de-
partments. The library has received for many years copies
of all the publications of the United States, and of the State
of Ohio. Some of these, such as the " History of the War
of the Rebellion," of which perhaps sixty volumes have been
issued, and as the Ohio Geological Reports and the State
*' Roster of Ohio Soldiers'" in ten volumes, are unequalled
in the publications of any other government. The publi-
cations of the Smithsonian Institution are among the most
valuable additions made annually to the library.
Since the purchases made from the Sturges gift, the Uni-
versity has not been in circumstances to expend much
money for books. There is a small sum of $30 a year for
books for the Biblical Department, from a bequest of Mrs.
Dr. Mann, and a varying sum of possibly $70 a year, arising
from special examination fees, which is appropriated to the
library. Further, the Board, by trenching upon other equally
urgent necessities, has been enabled to appropriate a few
hundred dollars annually for periodicals and other require-
ments of the reading-room. We are thus able to keep the
tables well supplied with the current literature, and to make
the use of all these free to the students. The library and
the reading-room are open for about eight hours daily. Aside
from these insignificant amounts, the library has been de-
pendent on the miscellaneous contributions of its friends.
Still, as we have seen, there has been a continued, though
slow, and uncertain, growth ; and the library now, including
a good collection of books at Monnett Hall, perhaps two
thousand in number, catalogues about seventeen thousand
volumes. Other valuable additions are definitely promised.
John Williams White, Ph. D., Professor of Greek in Harvard
36 Ohio Wesley an University:
University, one of our honored alumni, of the class of 1868,
has arranged to put on our shelves, from time to time, within
the near future, a complete working library in the depart-
ment of classic learning ; and the Rev. Dr. Michael J.
Cramer, of East Orange, N. J., also an honored alumnus,
of the class of i860, has notified the Board of his purpose to
leave the University his valuable professional library of five
thousand volumes. Other friends have intimated their
thought of similar testamentary arrangements. We hope it
may be many years before these bequests become available ;
but we also hope that other immediate provisions may be
made for our needs in this direction. Perhaps the greatest
special need of the University now, is of a liberal endow-
ment, with a good annual income for the regular enlarge-
ment of the library, as the current wants of the various de-
partments suggest. To furnish the coming Slocum Library
building with a library to start with, adequate to the im-
mediate wants of the institution, or equal to the libraries of
the great schools of the country, would swallow up our en-
tire income for years to come. Any amount of money could
easily and wisely be expended for books ; but we ought to
have, at once, a permanent fund of at least thirty thousand
dollars whose annual income should be devoted to this one
purpose. A library so endowed and wisely used would be
as efficient for good as any professorship in the University.
Has the University any friend who will put such a boon
as this within the reach of the Faculty and of our thousand
collegians ?
The Ohio Methodist Historical Society, with its head-
quarters at the Ohio Wesleyan University, was organized in
1859. The movers in this organization were a number of the
older preachers and laymen of Ohio who desired that the
early denominational history of the State and of the Church

at large should be recorded and preserved in some central
and safe place. The society had anniversaries during Com-
mencement week for a number of years ; and some of the
appointed addresses were exceedingly interesting and valua-
ble. The Faculty assigned an alcove in the library for the
collections and archives of the society. Some contributions
to this were made, especially by the late Samuel Williams,
one of the incorporators of the University, and an early
resident in Ohio, who left jt his valuable library of Method-
ist historical books and periodicals.
I.ECTURES.
In connection with Mr. Ingham's contributions to the
library, should be named the liberal provision made by him,
in 1870, for a course of ten lectures on the Evidences of
Natural and Revealed Religion. In pursuance of his wish,
the Faculty selected some of the ablest thinkers they could
find- to deliver such a course before the University. The
lectures were heard with profound interest and satisfaction
by very large audiences ; and, after the completion of the
course, were gathered and published in 1872, in a volume,
entitled, " The Ingham Lectures," which will long remain
among the ablest discussions known to the Church.
There have been other courses of lectures delivered before
the University, and heard with equal interest and profit. In
1884, ex-President Merrick transferred his entire estate to
the trustees as an endowment of an annual lectureship on
Experimental and Practical Religion. This foundation will
amount to $18,000, but was subject to an annuity during his
life. But as the donor desired that the lectures should be-
gin before his death, he arranged with the Faculty to invite,
from year to year, distinguished lecturers for this appoint-
38 Ohio Wesley an University:
ment, at his own private expense. Five of these courses
have been thus delivered, as follows :
In 1888, by Dr. Daniel Curry, five lectures on " Christian
Education ; " in 1889, by ex-President James McCosh, of
Princeton College, on " Tests of the Various Kinds of Truth ; • '
in 1890, by Bishop Randolph S. Foster, on "The Philosophy
of Christian Experience; " in 1891, by Dr. James Stalker, of
Glasgow, Scotland, on " The Preacher and his Models ; " in
1894, by Dr. John W. Butler, of Mexico, eight lectures with
the title, " Sketches of Mexico." These several courses
have all been published in volumes, entitled, " The Merrick
Lectures." The volumes thus far published, and the lectures
yet to be delivered and published, will long perpetuate the
name and influence of the founder.
Still other courses of lectures, or important single lect-
ures, have been delivered, by appointment, before the Uni-
versity, or before select classes. Among these may be men-
tioned especially, a course of six lectures in 1890, by Dr.
John Bascom, ex-President of Wisconsin State University,
on "Socialism;" a course of six lectures, in 1891, by Dr.
John T. Gracey, of our missions in India, on " Comparative
Religions," and a course of five lectures, in 1893, by Rev.
Richard T. Stevenson, Ph. D., of the class of 1873, ^^^ ^^^
Professor of History and English Literature, on " The
English Race in the Eighteenth Century."
CABINETS.
In January, 1859, the University purchased from Dr. WilU
iam Prescott, of Concord, N. H., his cabinet of natural his-
tory, valued at $10,000. This cabinet was large, and, in
some of the departments, very complete. But there was no
place on the premises large enough for displaying its riches,
except the chapel. This room, which already seemed small
Fifty Years of History. 39
for the wants of the institution, the trustees, at a special
session, at once appropriated to the uses of the cabinet. It
was fitted up for this purpose, and so remained until 1874.
Meanwhile the chapel services were held, at first in the
lecture-room of the William Street Methodist Church, but
afterward, by dividing the students into two sections, in one
of the large lecture-rooms of the University.
In 1869, the Board began the erection of a large stone
building on the high ground Jiear the spring. This was in-
tended for recitation rooms and for chapel. A failure of the
building fund delayed this building till 1873. Its cost was
about $40,000, a large portion of which was finally taken
from the endowment fund. It bears the name of President
Merrick — "Merrick Hall." Upon its completion, it was
thought that the room on the third floor designed for the
chapel afforded a more convenient place for cabinets and
museum, and they were finally arranged there ; and Thom-
son Chapel was reconsecrated to the religious services of the
University.
Large additions have been made to the cabinets. In
1867, R. P. Mann, M. D., of Milford Center, Ohio, at large ex-
pense of his own time and money, made for the Univer-
sity a collection of many thousand fossils and rocks, illustra-
tive of the geological ages, especially the Silurian and De-
vonian in Ohio. These are arranged in a separate cabinet,
adjacent to the Prescott cabinet. About the same time, the
Rev. Herman H. Herzer contributed a large number of rare
and valuable specimens of fossils found by himself in the
septaria of this locality and elsewhere. Some of these fos-
sils are unique, and of great scientific interest to paleontolo-
gists.
William Wood, Esq., of Cincinnati, contributed in 1870, at
the expense of about $3,000, a full set of the Ward casts of
40 Ohio Wesley an University :
fossils. These wonderful and monstrous forms are faithful
reproductions of originals from the best scientific museums
of the world.
In 1885, Drs. Merrick and Trimble, of the Board of Trus-
tees, contributed a very complete series of crystalline miner-
als, and several thousand specimens of the more common
mineral forms.
The Rev. William Kepler, Ph. D., of the class of 1868,
one of the most indefatigable paleontologists in the State,
has contributed a number of typical fossil fish collected by
himself.
The Rev. Charles H. Warren, of the Ohio Conference, an
enthusiastic naturalist, contributed a very complete suite of
the native grasses of Ohio, and specimens of all the native
woods of our forests.
Mr. Charles E. Copeland, of the class of 1892, missionary
at Singapore, in the Straits Settlements, sent to the museum
in 1892, four large cases, containing several thousand speci-
mens, representing the marine life of that wonderful district.
Rev. Dr. Thomas J. Scott, another of our graduates, of the
class of i860, of the India Mission, has sent to the University
a complete pantheon of the idols of Hindustan. They are
in marble, gilt, about sixty in number, and constitute, per-
haps, the finest collection in the United States. The Uni-
versity has many other symbols from heathen lands.
A very good beginning of an archaeological museum has
been made. In 1888, the Rev. Joseph Weber, the evangel-
ist, an undergraduate of the University, who spent some
time in the Holy Land, contributed a large number of ob-
jects of rare value, containing several hundred mounted
birds and animals of Palestine, specimens of the rocks and
minerals, and many curiosities representing the daily life of
the people of that interesting land. It is Mr. Weber's in-
42 Ohio Wesley an University :
tention to continue his contributions until the museum of his
Alma Mater shall contain complete illustrations of the his-
tory, customs, natural products, geology, and mineralogy, of
the Bible Lands.
In 1891, Mr. William R. Walker, of Columbus, O., gave
the University a collection of many hundred of the very
choicest relics of the Mound Builders. It is the purpose of
the donor to bring together a collection that will give a full
and complete view of the life and customs of this strange
people, and will prove of educational value in ethnological
studies.
These collections in the cabinets and museums, cata-
logue, probably, over a hundred thousand distinct and rep-
resentative objects.
BUILDINGS.
We have seen that the old chapel was restored in 1874 to
its former use. The Lecture Association of the students
contributed $800 toward the furnishing of the chapel ; and,
by the efforts of the Faculty and the senior class, a fine organ
was placed in the chapel at an expense of over $1,600. This
audience room has capacity for about six hundred sittings;
iDut had even then grown too small for all occasions, except
daily prayers. The Sabbath lectures were delivered here
for a while; but soon had to be transferred to the City Opera
House, which, also, soon could not accommodate the congre-
gations that attended those services. For other public
occasions, Thomson Chapel was too small from the begin-
ning. The Commencement exercises were held here a iew
times in the first years after it was built, but it was always
uncomfortably crowded ; and thereafter, for many years,
these exercises were held in one of the groves on the college
campus. Excursion trains were sometimes run from the
neighboring cities; and the attendance was often estimated
Fifty Years of History. 43
as high as five thousand. After a while, as early as 1885,
the chapel became so straitened for daily exercises that it
was necessary to excuse a number of the students from
attendance. But at last even this undesirable measure was
ineffectual, and for some years — 1889-1891, relief was sought
by transferring the daily chapel services to the auditorium
of St. Paul's Church in South Delaware, in the immediate
neighborhood of the University.
This arrangement was found inconvenient and expensive ;
and in September, 1891, occupation of Thomson Chapel was
resumed, but with the now definite prospect of final and
adequate relief in the immediate future. Already the Board
of Trustees, at the session in June, 1890, had ordered the
immediate erection of a University Hall that should furnish
first and foremost the much-needed college chapel ; and also
more and better accommodations for the academic work of
the institution. Mr. McClintick's report to the Board says :
"The time has arrived when a commanding structure, some-
what in consonance with the reputation which the Uni-
versity has established for itself, should be erected to meet
the wants that are already very pressing, and that will be
more so in the immediate future."
Well-considered plans were adopted, and the contracts let
for a building which ranks among the largest and most com-
plete college edifices in the country. The corner-stone was
laid June 18, 1891, and it took two years to complete the
building. It is a massive stone structure, 160 feet long, 150
feet deep, and four stories high. The entire pile bears the
name of University Hall. It includes the chapel, now called
Gray Chapel, in commemoration of the noble life of the
Rev. David Gray, a venerable pioneer preacher in Ohio, the
father of David S. Gray, Esq., of Columbus, O., President of
the Board of Trustees, who gave $27,000 toward the building
44 Ohio Wesleyan University:
fund, and through whose generosity and leadership the erec-
tion of the building was so promptly assured. This beauti-
ful auditorium seats 2,000 persons, and can be enlarged by
the opening of the adjacent lecture-room for the accommo-
dation of 400 persons more. The chapel is octagonal in form,
with the floor rising from the rostrum with a gentle slope.
The seats are arranged in seven sectors, with aisles radiat-
ing from the pulpit as a center. A spacious gallery, with
seats placed in ascending tiers, extends two-thirds of the
circumference of the room. The dome in the center of the
chapel rises to the height of 56 feet from the floor. It is
lit from above by day, with beautiful opalescent glass, giving
a softened tint to the inflooding light, and, by night, from
dome, gallery and walls, with hundreds of incandescent
electric lamps. The splendid organ was built by the Roose-
velts, and cost $15,000. The beautiful case of the organ is
only surpassed by its marvelous perfection as a musical in-
strument. The University Hall contains, besides the chapel,
a commodious and well-furnished hall for the Young Men's
Christian Association, capable of seating 500 persons ; sev-
eral lecture rooms, ten recitation rooms, six society halls,
the administrative offices, professors' studies, ladies' par-
lors, wide corridors, and other needed conveniences.
In anticipation of the new building, in 1889, a year before
the action of the Board ordering its erection, the Rev. John
M. Barker, Ph. D., of the class of 1874, was appointed Finan-
cial Secretary of the University, with this interest as his spe-
cial work. The subscriptions secured by him were generous
and encouraging; but the crisis in the business affairs of the
country came, unfortunately, just in the midst of his efforts.
Nevertheless the building went on, and money was given
for the larger part of the expenditure, and the rest was
borrowed from bank. When the building stood finished,
Fifty Years of History. 45
the cost aggregated about $180,000; but there was a debt
of about $45,000 unprovided for by collections or subscrip-
tions.
Such was the situation at Commencement week, June,
1893. ^^^ completion of the building was anticipated with
rejoicing, but also, in view of the heavy debt, with grave
anxiety. On Tuesday afternoon, June 20th, Governor
William McKinley delivered, in Gray Chapel, before a mag-
ni6cent audience, an eloquent and masterly memorial ad-
dress, on President Rutherford B. Hayes, late one of the
University Trustees ; and on Wednesday morning, June 21st,
the Hon. John Sherman, the distinguished senior Senator
from Ohio, delivered the formal University address before a
great and gratified audience. Everybody was delighted ;
everybody was full of enthusiasm. The chapel more than
met the most sanguine expectations ; and the anxiety about
the debt began to abate. At two o'clock in the afternoon,
the hour appointed for the dedication of the University Hall
and of Gray Chapel, an immense audience was present.
The dedicatory sermon was preached by Bishop Henry W.
Wan en, of Denver, Colorado; and then, under the skilful
management of Ex-President Charles H. Payne, amid un-
bounded enthusiasm, the whole amount due on the building
was raised, and University Hall and Gray Chapel stood free
from debt. The formal and impressive service of dedication
was conducted by Bishop John M. Walden, of Cincinnati,
one of our honored trustees.
On Thursday, the Commencement exercises of the Uni-
versity were held in the same place. A great and long-
desired work was at last accomplished, and the expressions
of satisfaction, and the congratulations of all present,
trustees, faculty, students, alumni, friends, were most hearty
and unbounded.
46 Ohio Wesley an University :
The completion of the University Hall gives the institu-
tion accommodations for two thousand students. We can
gather into one central and convenient room all the students,
for daily devotions, and our greatly larger audiences for the
Sabbath lectures, for the annual revival services, and for
Commencement exercises. And we have now lecture halls
and recitation rooms, sufficient in number and in size, to
answer all our present needs. These enlarged facilities for
academic and religious work will, with the blessing of God,
be enjoyed, and the results of them realized for centuries to
come.
On the site of the University Hall, the foremost and
finest location on the campus, originally stood the " Mansion
House," later the " Elliott Hall," which was the first and for
some years the only building on the grounds. It served an
excellent purpose where it first stood for nearly half a
century; but in 1891, it was removed to a new site, south
and east on the campus, and refitted for a new service. The
physical laboratory rooms occupy the first floor, and the
commercial department rooms the third floor. Professor
Williams retains the rooms on the second floor, which he has
occupied since the opening of the school, now fifty years ago.
GROUNDS.
The original college campus included the ten acres
donated by the citizens, and the five acres bought by the
Conference committees. Additional purchases of ground
were subsequently made, from time to time, at an expense
of a little over $20,000, until now the campus contains about
twenty-five acres lying in one continuous tract, besides the
ten acres to be further described, the premises of the Mon-
nett Hall of the University. In addition to these tracts, the
University has recently bought, at an expense of a little more
Fifty Years of History. 47
than $10,000, a most eligible lot of about five acres, some-
times called from the former owner, ^' The Barnes Prop-
erty;" and we now, by the gift of President Merrick, have
come into the possession of Oak Grove Park, three acres of
forest and dell.
On the added lot of five acres, purchased from Judge
Powell, was a comfortable cottage near the street, the home
of Mr. Powell. This was subsequently occupied by the
President of the college, or" by one of the professors, until
1856, when it was sold and moved off the campus. In the
rear of this cottage, and in front of the present Sturges
Library building, was a row of a half-dozen or more Summer
cottage rooms, built for the accommodation of the guests of
the Mansion House during the watering season. These
were afterwards rented for some years to the students ; but
all these buildings were removed in 1855, leaving the space
in front of the University buildings unincumbered, and
open for the planting of additional shade trees.
The college campus has a diversified character, which art
has greatly improved. In 1872, Messrs. Wright and Mast,
of the Board of Trustees, spent about $5,000 in reconstruct-
ing the surface, making walks and drives, draining and
planting. These improvements were on the northern part
of the grounds. It was in the plan of these generous alumni
to slope the front of the lot to the level of the street ; but
this would require the removal of many beautiful shade
trees ; and they have not yet seen their way to resume the
work. Since that time the low ground in the late additions
has been filled and regraded.
Another friend of the University, and of science, Rev.
Joseph H. Creighton, M. i\., of the Ohio Conference, has
given largely of his money, and yet more of his time, to the
establishment of an arboretum on the college grounds.
48 Ohio Wesley an University :
This contemplates the planting of at least one specimen of
every tree, domestic or exotic, that can be made to grow in
this climate and soil. Since i860, Mr. Creighton has, nnder
singular difficulties, gathered, planted, and properly labeled
nearly one thousand varieties of trees and shrubs. If this
plan be completed, the collection will add greatly to the em-
bellishment of the grounds, as well as give them a scientific
value found in but few instances in the United States.
CO-EDUCATION.
The fact that for thirty years none but male students were
adm^itted to the University is worthy of a moment's notice.
At the date of the organization of the University, the co-
education of the sexes in the higher schools of learning was
almost unknown, and the question of a departure from the
usage of former years and of older institutions was not even
mooted in the Conferences, or in the Board of Trustees.
It was taken for granted by them that this college was to
fall into line in this respect, as in all the other usages of col-
lege organization. But this subject, which was so quietly
ignored by the Conferences and the Board of Trustees, was
already making its entrance into the discussions of profes-
sional educators, and could not be so summarily disposed of
by them. The advancing sentiment of the country was
bringing women more and more prominently, not only into
social life, but into public and responsible positions in the
educational, religious, professional, and secular, fields of
labor; and both Church and State began to demand a higher
education for their daughters as well as for their sons, to fit
them for these larger duties. The experiment of co-educa-
tion was in successful trial in one of the large schools of the
State.* In view of these facts, the subject became for years
'■•• Oberlin College, organized in 1S33.
Fifty Years of History. 49
one of frequent and earnest debate in the Faculty of the
University. President Thomson expressed very decided
views against what some regarded as advanced ground on
this subject ; and his position, if there had been no other
obstacle, prevented any public agitation or effort in the mat-
ter. At length, as will be seen further on, the problem was
solved for the University by the founding of a women's col-
lege in Delaware. Thenceforward the courtesies due to a
sister school, if not a convictfon of policy in regard to co-ed-
ucation, forbade the introduction of women into the Uni-
versity, and the question long ceased to be agitated in the
councils of the institution. But years after the subject had
been thus practically shelved. President Thomson took occa-
sion in one of his baccalaureates, to declare that his views
had undergone a revolution on this subject, and that he had
come to favor co-education. Yet he did not live to give his
potent advocacy and his suffrage to the measure which
finally united the two schools, and made co-education a
prominent feature of the University.
THE OHIO WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE — MONNETT HALL.
In the establishment of the University, while no provision
was made for the education of women, there was a felt want
that the daughters of the Church should have the same
privileges of education as were afforded to the sons. The
rapid growth and the success of the University increased
this sense of want, especially in the case of families whose
sons were entered in the University. The first to attempt to
supply this demand were the Rev. William Grissell and wife,
who came to this place in 1850. Encouraged by the citizens,
Mr. Grissell bought the old Academy building in South Del-
aware and opened a ladies' school in September of that year.
50 Ohio Wesleyan University :
The attendance was encouraging; but, in 1852, Mr. Grissell
found that he could no longer carry on the school with suc-
cess. At this time the idea of a college for ladies was tak-
ing hold of the public mind, and several meetings of citizens
who were interested were held in relation to the matter.
Just at this time, in 1852, the parish now known as St.
Paul's, in South Delaware, had been constituted of a small
colony of about thirty members, mostly from William Street
Methodist Church, of which the Rev. John Quigley was
appointed pastor. They met for worship in the chapel of
Mr. Grissell's school ; and, in order to retain their place of
worship, and for other local reasons, encouraged the move-
ment for a college on this site. Accordingly, the property
was bought from Mr. Grissell, and an organization effected
under the name of '' The Delaware Female College."
But it was felt by many that the location for a successful
college must be more eligible, and the accommodations
more ample than the old Academy and two-fifths of an acre
of ground could present. To Dr. Ralph Hills is due the
first suggestion of the homestead of the late William Little
as the most desirable site in Delaware. This suggestion
met with instant favor, and, when it was found that the fam-
ily consented to sell the property, an organization was at
once efifected, articles of association were adopted, and a
subscription was opened to obtain the needed amount. The
result was, that in April, 1853, "l^he Ohio Wesleyan Female
College" acquired "a local habitation and a name."
Among the incorporators, twenty in number, were Dr.

The property which the incorporators bought contained
seven acres, to which three acres were subsequently added
Fifty Years of History. 51
( 1867). The price paid for the original purchase was $7,000,
and for the addition nearly as much more. The grounds,
lying within the corporation at the western head of the
principal cross street, were beautiful and romantic ; and the
house on these grounds was large and commodious. The
property was at once offered to the North Ohio Conference,
and accepted by that body, with the right of perpetuation
of the Board of Trustees. S^ibsequently, the Central Ohio
Conference and the Ohio Conference became joint patrons
of the school with equal rights.
In the course of the first year, the necessity for more room
was felt, and a two-story wooden house with chapel and
large recitation rooms was erected as a temporary relief.
This served the purpose for a few years, but the continued
growth of the school led, in 1855, to larger plans. The
southern wing of a building which was supposed to be large
enough for the probable wants of the school was first
erected ; then, after some years, the central block and the
other wing.
The means for all this expenditure were raised mostly
through the labors of agents appointed by the patronizing
Conferences. Of these, the Rev. Joseph Ayers, at that time
Presiding Elder of the Delaware District, was the first ; and
a large part of the initial labor of founding the school was
done by him. These agents did not have an unreaped field
in which to gather, as the University agents were also at
work during the same years. But, by indefatigable effort,
the means were gradually obtained, and the end was at last
reached. Of the many who contributed to this cause, par-
ticular mention must be made of Miss Mary Monnett, after-
wards Mrs. John W. Bain, a pupil of the school, who, in
1857, gave $10,000 toward the building fund. Her timely
help made the completion of the building certain and im-
^2 Ohio Wesley an University :
mediate ; and, in recognition of her benefaction, the entire
building bears the name of "Monnett Hall."
About 1870, the south wing of this building was injured
by fire. The roof and the upper story were destroyed, and
other parts deluged with water. But the operations of the
school were not suspended, and the parts burned were
immediately replaced, better than before.
The school was always self-supporting, and, for most of
the time, the tuition and the boarding fees not only paid the
Faculty, but yielded some revenue for the general purposes
of the institution. A scheme for an endowment by scholar-
ships, similar to that of the University, was at one time
attempted, but the attempt was soon abandoned, and no
permanent fund was ever secured.
In 1866, certain ladies, mostly alumnae of the institution,
organized themselves into an association to raise a fund for
a college library. In pursuance of their plan, they soon
raised about $2,000, which sum the trustees borrowed for the
completion of the College buildings, as being just then a
more pressing want than the acquisition of a library. But,
in 1869, Mr. William A. Ingham, of Cleveland, who had
undertaken to fill an alcove in the University library, gave
this College also $1,000 worth of books, in honor of his wife,
formerly Miss Mary B. Janes, who, in 1858-62, had been the
teacher of French and belles-lettres in the College. In view
of this donation, the Board ordered the Executive Com-
mittee to fit up a library and reading-room in the central
building, and to invest $1,000 of the ladies' library fund in
books. The balance of the loan, the Board had not repaid
to the association when the union of the schools took place ;
and, in view of the large University library which thus be-
came accessible to the ladies, and the inability of the Board,
the association forbore the formal collection of the amount.
54 Ohio Wesleyan University :
Aside from these generous provisions of the alumnae and
of Mr. Ingham, no movement was made for the internal
wants of the school.
The first President of the College was Prof. Oran Faville,
M. A., of McKendree College, Illinois, and Mrs. Maria M.
Faville was the first Preceptress. Their united salary was
fixed at the sum of $i,ooo. A number of other teachers were
appointed in the academic and musical departments. The
first term opened August 4th, 1853, and the calendar was
arranged to agree with that of the University. The enroll-
ment the first year was 159, and the number of pupils
attending each year afterwards generally largely exceeded
200, and sometimes reached 300, In 1855, President Faville's
health compelled his resignation, and he removed to Iowa,
of which State he was subsequently Lieutenant Governor,
and Commissioner of Public Instruction. He died in 1872.
His successors were the Rev. James A. Dean, who re-
mained but a short time, and Rev. Charles D. Burritt, who
also resigned before the end of a year. The Rev. Park S.
Donelson, D. D., was elected in 1856, and remained Presi-
dent for seventeen years, until 1873, when he resigned to
engage in pastoral work. The next President, and the last
before the union of the two institutions, was William Rich-
ardson, M. A., who had been favorably known in the public
school work, and who, in 1877, resigned to re-enter that field.
The degrees conferred by the institution were Mistress of
Liberal Arts for those who took the classical course, and Mis-
tress of English Literature for those who took the scientific
course. The classical course embraced studies largely the
same, at first, as those in the University, except Greek.
This language, too, was finally included as optional, and
upon the few who took the entire course the degree of
Bachelor of Arts was conferred.
Fifty Years of History. 55
The graduates of the College numbered, in 1877, when
the union with the University took place, over 400. They
have long had an alumnal organization, and the local gradu-
ates have, for many years, maintained a literary association
with monthly re-unions.
UNION.
One of the original articles of association, adopted in 1853,
reads as follows :
" ArticIvE IX. If the Conference or Conferences patron-
izing this College, and the Conferences patronizing the Ohio
Wesleyan University, located in Delaware, Ohio, shall, at
any future time, recommend the union of the two institu-
tions, so far as the same can legally be effected, then the
trustees of this College, on their part, shall proceed to take
such steps as may be legal and necessary to accomplish this
object."
Such, even at that early day, was the hope of at least
some who participated in the establishment of the new Col-
lege. But the times were not yet ripe for the desired result.
It was not until a quarter of a century had passed that the
friends of this movement felt themselves strong enough to
act. The trustees of the Female College were now almost
unanimous in favor of the proposition, but the trustees ol
the University yet hesitated. The committees on the sub-
ject at first reported adversely ; and then asked the judg-
ment of the Conferences in the premises. A vote in these
bodies was obtained, either instructing the two boards to
unite the schools, or, at least, referring it to their discretion.
The Association of Alumni also voted in favor of the union,
and sent a deputation to the University Board to urge the
measure upon their favorable consideration. At length, the
pressure of sentiment outside convinced the most conserva-
56 " Ohio Wesley an University :\
tive that the step was both inevitable and safe, if not desir-
able.
Finally, in 1877, the Board of the University unanimously
adopted a resolution, that, if the trustees of the Female
College should discontinue the academic work of that school,
and transfer the property, free from debt, to the trustees of
the University, they would accept the property, and open the
University to ladies, and would establish a special course of
study of high order for ladies, with appropriate degrees for
the completion of the course. They voted further, that, in
case of the discontinuance of the Female College, the Uni-
versity, under this arrangement, would adopt the alumnae
of that institution on such terms as might be found desir-
able.
The trustees of the Female College at once accepted this
proposition, and conveyed to the University the school and
all the property in their possession. A debt of about $9,000,
incurred by the trustees for additions to the campus, was
paid by the Central Ohio Conference from the amount raised
for the University by its agents ; and thus the University
came into the unincumbered possession of a property worth
at least $100,000, had at once an addition of nearly two
hundred students per annum to its enrollment, and gained
an increase of thirty per cent, in its income. There were
other gains. The union of the schools removed a distract-
ing question from the councils of the University and the
Church, put this large and influential school abreast of the
sentiment and progress of the age, and concentrated upon
itself the interest and the benefactions which had been
diverted to another institution, or altogether lost between
the conflicting claims of the two rival schools.
Eighteen years of experience have more and more con-
firmed the wisdom of this action. The distance of Monnett
Fifty Years of History. 57
Hall from the University, though not exceeding half a mile
from gate to gate, occasions, as had been foreseen, some in-
convenience in the arrangements of the classes, especially
of those in which both sexes are represented. These meet,
according to circumstances, in one locality or the other, but
all the classes in which ladies largely outnumber the gentle-
men are taught, when possible, at Monnett Hall. Separate
daily chapel exercises were held at the latter place for a
while, for the accommodation of the inmates ; but this
arrangement was not long continued. Better walks, and the
establishment of street railways, make the going to and
from rapid and easy. But all these things are matters of de-
tail, and at most occasion a little trouble to the Faculty or
the students. The advantages from the union of the schools
and from co-education of the sexes are so manifest and so
great, that, in summing up the result, minor inconveniences
can be patiently adjusted or quietly ignored.
Professor Whitlock has admirably expressed the general
conclusions that educators have now reached on the subject
of co-education. He says : " Co-education has intellectual,
moral, social and physical advantages. The association of
the sexes in collegiate work is mutually inspiring, stimulat-
ing and helpful. Better habits of preparation result, a
higher grade of mental discipline, and broader views and
sympathies. There is mutual recognition of ability, and a
generous rivalry ; and there is a largeness about the whole
system that is itself educative. It is the family system. It
is not an interruption of relations between men and women
that are common in all other periods of life ; it is the pres-
ervation in the school of the divine pattern. Results prove
that while it does away with false modesty, it does not lessen
true womanly delicacy ; that university educated girls make
the most modest, cultured, and womanly wives and mothers.
58 Ohio Wesleyan University:
It takes the simpering out of girls and the rudeness out of
men.
" Morally, the difficulties and failures of co-education are
less dangerous than the undue emphasis of sex, the stimula-
tion of the imagination, and the unnatural views of life,
common in separate education. Young people do not learn
to avoid moral dangers until they know where they lie ; and
this they best learn under a system of instruction that ac-
quaints the sexes with the true character and ability of each.
"The free intercourse between the sexes, so often urged as
an objection to co-education, is not greater than elsewhere ;
and the craving for society is met and satisfied under the
most restraining and refining circumstances. Constant asso-
ciation tends to lessen, rather than to create intimacies, ex-
cept when they are founded on mutual esteem, intellectual
and aesthetic tastes. This freedom, even admitting occa-
sional social entanglements, compares in its results most
favorably with life out of college, and with the follies and
frivolities from which separate education is not exempt.
Marriages resulting from college friendships are far more
likely to be happy than the average marriages in the world,
where the attraction has not so good a foundation. Mutual
tastes, aims, purposes ; common habits of life and thought ;
and a common pursuit of truth under helpful and inspiring
influences, make a broad and safe basis for the truest and
best life unions.
" The physical ability of women to study along-side of men
is taken for granted. Statistics covering a thousand cases
show that the health of college women has the advantage
over that of working girls, and also over that of women in
the average walks of life. All thought of physical inability
may be thrown to the winds, and women may march un-
hindered along-side of their brothers."
Fifty Years of History. 59
Co-education in Delaware is an unqualified and large suc-
cess. There is now no doubt that, from the merely material
standpoint, the union has been a great help to the Univer-
sity. The attendance of five hundred ladies annually for the
last five years, and the enlarged facilities at Monnett Hall,
have been large factors in the reputation and growth of the
University.
But the union of the two institutions has exerted a reflex
beneficial influence on the development of the I^adies' De-
partment. The expensive tuition fees were at once can-
celled, as all the ladies were admitted to the University on
scholarships. The attendance of ladies rapidly grew to
three times what it was the year before the union was con-
summated. In 1876, the number of ladies was 172 ; for the
last five years it has ranged from 444 to 537. This number
was far beyond what the founders of the Female College ex-
pected, in their most sanguine hopes ; and the College build-
ing which they planned and completed according to their
expectations could not have accommodated half the present
number. In 1890, the trustees ordered the enlargement of
the building to twice its former size. The additions cost
over fifty thousand dollars. The old Monnett Hall of the
Ohio Wesleyan Female College, with its two wings and
central block, is now, in fact, but one of the wings of the
new Monnett Hall of the Ohio Wesleyan University. The
building as it now stands is two hundred feet long, one
hundred feet wide, and four stories in height. This large
building has ample room for the accommodation of two
hundred and fifty ladies, giving each a separate room or
suite of rooms. The upper floors are accessible by several
wide stairways, and by an elevator. The building contains
an assembly hall or chapel, reception rooms, parlors, library
and reading room well supplied with books and periodicals.
6o Ohio Wesley an University:
three halls for the Ladies' Literary Societies, and a large,
light dining-room, with capacity for all the inmates at once.
Young ladies residing in the Monnett Hall have the counsel
and care of experienced and cultivated teachers, and are
subject only to the restrictions essential to good habits of
study, health and behavior. Monnett Hall has a healthful
location, and the sanitary conditions are the best. But a
separate hospital is provided on the same campus for cases
of sickness, and the patients have the best medical service
and skillful nursing. During the eighteen years since the
union of the two schools, but a single death has occurred at
the Hall. The Monnett Hall is likewise the headquarters
of the Art Department, and of the Conservatory of Music.
The piano rooms for practice are in a separate building a
short distance from the main hall. But the Assembly Hall
also is provided with grand pianos, and numerous concerts
and recitals are given there by noted artists, teachers, and
pupils, which all the ladies in the building have the privilege
of attending.
RELIGIOUS INFLUENCES.
The University is under the auspices of the Methodist
Episcopal Church ; but it is not sectarian in its teachings. It
aims to be evangelical, yet liberal ; and has always had a fair
patronage from other Protestant Churches, and even from
the Catholic Church. Of late years, we have had among
our students, representatives of nations and ethnic religions
outside of Christendom, mostly from China and Japan. The
religious influence of the college life here has always been
constant and controlling. Devotional exercises, conducted
by the members of the Faculty, are held in the chapel each
day ; and a sermon or lecture at appointed times on the
Sabbath. For many years this was a weekly appointment,
under the charge of the President ; during recent years; it
Fifty Years of History. 6i
has been monthly. Attendance upon these college services,
and upon some church service on the Sabbath, is obligatory.
Weekly meetings for prayer are maintained by each class
separately, and two weekly meetings held in the hall of the
Young Men's Christian Association, for all students in com-
mon who choose to attend. The proportion of religious
students in the college classes increases with the advance-
ment of the class ; and few students pass through the col-
lege course without becoming hopefully pious. More than
once, the University has graduated large classes in which
every member was religious ; and in every class graduated,
the majority have been members of some church, a large
proportion of whom became so through their connection
with the University.
The religious zeal of the students led to the establishment
in the University, and the successful working, for a long
time, of a Missionary Lyceum. This organization was after-
wards merged into the Young Men's Christian Association ;
but the missionary zeal continues to burn here, as of yore.
From this association, and largely through influences there
begotten, a goodly number of the graduates have been led
to devote themselves to the foreign missionary work. For
some years the students of the University have supported
one of our graduate missionaries in India. Of the young
men preparing for the ministry, those who are licentiates are
faithful and useful in evangelical work in the churches of
the city and of the neighboring cities and country. Many
have regular pastoral charges, and are able thus to support
themselves in college, and at the same time accomplish
a great deal of good in the communities where they
preach.
The Young Men's Christian Association, which took the
place of the older Allen Missionary Lyceum, was organized
62 Ohio Wesleyan University:
in 1880. The Young Woman's Christian Association was
organized in 1889. These associations have displayed large
zeal and enterprise in their work ; and their meetings are
well attended. The Young Men's Hall is in the new Uni-
versity building, has a capacity for five hundred sittings, is
finely carpeted and well furnished. This association is
thoroughly organized for Christian effort. Its committees
cover all forms of religious work among their fellows ; and
no student, especially no new student, is left unapproached
and unhelped. The association publishes hand-books of
information and advice, and meets every new student with
offers of aid and encouragement. The marked religious
trend of the University is greatly promoted and sustained
by their faithful effort.
Among the religious students there are constantly many
scores of young persons who are looking to the Christian
ministry, or some other field of Christian activity ; and the
ranks of this special class receive constant accessions from
among those who have been converted or quickened here,
and have changed the purposes of their lives. Of these,
the young preachers, and others who expect to become such,
have an active and enthusiastic Homiletic Club, for their
personal or professional profit. Before this club, many ad-
mirable and suggestive addresses and lectures have been de-
livered by invited speakers, either local or from abroad.
The young ladies at Monnett Hall have long been organ-
ized into "Tens," for some form of benevolent work. These
groups, under the conscientious training and wise guidance
of the teachers at Monnett, have accomplished a large
amount of silent but effective work within the institution,
or for needy interests outside.
64 Ohio Wesley mt University:
DISCIPLINE.
The aim of the University has been to secure thorough-
ness. Its demands upon the students are quite as great as
in other colleges ; and no one graduates who has not faith-
fully tried to acquire both knowledge and discipline. The
result is that its graduates take high rank in the professions
and business employments. The graduates now count
almost twenty-two hundred. They are found in nearly all
the States of the Union and in all quarters of the globe.
Professor Nelson, in a paper following this, gives some
statistics of the alumni, and a study of the results of fifty
years' history of their lives, and of their work in the world.
It is a record of which the University, and its thousands of
friends, may well be proud.
The discipline here exercised has, at all times, appealed
to the confidence and the moral sense of the students. It
has aim.ed to foster sentiments of manliness and honor, to
work out the highest types of character, to make the stu-
dents habitually self-respectful, and, therefore, respectful to
authority. The general results have been satisfactory, and
the relations of the Faculty and the students have been of
the most pleasant kind. Of course, in so large a body of
young persons, promiscuously gathered, it must needs be
that offenses come. Some are disposed to evil ; others are
incapable of reflection. These are the small minority, but
they furnish nearly all the cases for special discipline. Ac-
cordingly, there has been no instance, in the history of the
institution, of a general insubordination, and only few and
limited instances of combinations to resist authority.
Most of the Faculty keep a daily record of the work of the
students that recite to them. This marking is on a scale
ranging from zero to ten, 6.5 being a minimum for " pass-
Fifty Years of History. 65
ing." The daily record enters as a factor in the term grade.
Others of the Faculty, from the peculiarity of their work,
rely mainly on the general impression made by the student,
and upon special examinations, at intervals, or at the end
of the term. The term grades are reported to the registrar,
and entered in the University record book. It is from the
aggregate of these marks that the final standing of the stu-
dent is ascertained, and his title determined to a place on the
Commencement programme. v
The method of regulating the Commencement exercises
has, from time to time, been a matter of solicitude and ex-
periment with the Faculty. At first, and for many years, all
the members of the graduating class were assigned to places
on the programme. After a while the programme became
long enough to occupy two sessions, morning and afternoon,
or even two successive days. But, at last, the senior class
grew too large for this arrangement ; and some years ago it
was decided that the number of participants in the Com-
mencement exercises should be limited to fifteen. The
selection is determined by the Faculty upon the equitable
basis of the students' grades for the entire college course.
The programme for Commencement exercises is arranged
in alphabetic order, and in reverse order, on alternate
years.
Much importance has always been placed on our system
of term and annual examinations. These were once largely
oral ; and the Faculty gave -special invitations to literary
and professional gentlemen to witness and participate in the
examinations. To this end, they early invited the Confer-
ences to send special committees of examiners ; but since
1856, the committees of visitors from the Conferences pro-
vided for by the University charter have been charged with
the function of examination as well as of visitation. The
66 Ohio Wesleyan University :
presence of the visitors and their participation in the exami-
nations has always been a wholesome stimulus, and renders
the examinations much more interesting, as well as a better
test of the qualifications of the students.
COURSES OF STUDY.
At the organization of the University, there was but one
course of study adopted, substantially the same as had ob-
tained for generations in the usages of colleges. Its basis
was the classic languages. The study of Greek and Latin
occupied most of the time in the preparatory classes, half of
the time in the freshman and sophomore years, and one-
third of the time for the last two years of the course. And
this general arrangement continued with gradual modifica-
tions, till the year 1868. This, which was called the ''class-
ical course," or the " regular course," was the only one for
which a degree was conferred. Two or three briefer courses,
covering about three years' study, had, for a while, been in-
stituted, and commended to such students as could not hope
to complete the regular course. These were called the
Scientific, the Biblical, and the Normal courses ; but to those
who completed them, only a certificate of proficiency was
given, and their names do not appear in the alumni cata-
logue as " graduates."
But new ideas have effected some changes in the old policy
of the colleges. The literary world will be slow to admit
that the broadest culture can be attained without an ac-
quaintance with the classics. The classic tongues of Greece
and Rome must ever continue the basis of all liberal learn-
ing ; yet, in the presence of other important, though not
more " practical," studies, the classics have ceased to be the
sole condition of college honors. The marvellous advance
in the methods of investigating the facts of the physical
Fifty Years of History. 67
world has given birth to new experimental sciences which
were utterly unknown a century, or even a generation, ago.
These new sciences have taken their recognized and equal
place beside the old ; and have opened up new, attractive,
and profitable lines of study suitable for collegiate work.
The old educational form and direction are changed ; but
the educational result is the same. The new ways are good,
but they are not better than the old ; they are simply dif-
ferent, and offer a choice in studies. With them, the college
can offer more subjects of knowledge, more and various
avenues to learning, and culture, and practical fitting for
life's occupations ; but it can train no better than before.
The old methods and the old subjects of study made as good
scholars, and as able men, as any of the later day. The claim
of the later education is, that it offers a variety adapted to
different tastes or inclinations, that it fits men for immediate
entrance upon the several employments of life, and that by
this wider range it makes men more versatile and capable,
"with armor on the right hand and on the left." Accord-
ingly in most institutions of the country, while the classics
still maintain their foremost place for the " regular " course
of study, a parallel course of equal or nearly equal extent
has been established, with a preponderant amount of mod-
ern languages, mathematics, and especially of scientific work.
For this "scientific" course, distinctive degrees have been
provided. In 1868, such a course was first established in
this University. It threw out the Greek language entirely,
but required three years of Latin, and the study of one
modern language. In addition to this concession to the new
views, there was also allowed a certain amount of election
in the studies of the classical course, in the sophomore and
the junior years, in favor of modern languages, or additional
scientific studies. This was a safe compromise ; and allowed
68 Ohio Wesleyan University :
a sufficient latitude, without, at the same time, prescribing a
course which can be called partial, or one-sided. The de-
grees given in the classical course are Bachelor of Arts, and
Master of Arts ; in the scientific course. Bachelor and Master
of Science. Both the above courses are now open to ladies ;
and some ladies are found in each of them ; but, since the
union of the schools, another course, for ladies especially,
has been established, to meet the taste and wants of such as
seek a thorough and liberal culture, yet do not desire to take
the classical or the scientific course. It covers the same
time as these, but differs from them mainly in substituting
for the Greek of the classical course, and the more extended
mathematics and sciences of the scientific course, a thorough
course in music, painting, drawing, and art criticism. Upon
the graduates in this course is conferred the degree of
Bachelor of Literature.
The limited endowment of the University has hitherto
prevented the establishment of the presumptive University
schools of Theology, Law, Medicine, and Technology.
These will come in the course of time, and the charter of
the University was specifically amended years ago (1851), so
as to permit the location of our professional schools at any
desirable point in the State, if not in Delaware. Yet some-
thing pointing in these directions has already" been accom-
plished. The regular sub-graduate courses of study in the
University have been so constructed as to offer a fair intro-
duction to the work in the Biblical seminaries, and in the
Medical and Law colleges. This work done here on the
basis of academical study, amounts to at least one year's
work in these several professional courses. For example :
though the Holy Scriptures have a leading place in all the
instruction in the University, yet the Hebrew Bible and the
Greek Testament, and some other Biblical studies, are either
Fifty Years of History. 69
prescribed for graduation, or made elective for any who are
looking to the ministry. Our graduates who have taken
this course here can readily enter the second year in the
leading Theological seminaries. The establishment of a
Theological department especially has always been contem-
plated as an integral part of a University organization ; and
the matter has often been agitated in the councils of the
University, or the wishes of its friends. The way to it has
not yet opened ; but in 1894, the Board of Trustees voted
that when four full professorships in Theology shall be en-
dowed, the Board will establish these chairs, and organize
the University School of Theology. Similar facilities are
furnished students preparing for Medicine or Law. The
college courses in Chemistry, Physiology, Histology and
Hygiene, are equal to at least one year's study in these sub-
jects in medical colleges ; and the course in Law, though not
very extended, is an excellent preparation for the work in
the Law schools. In the way of Technological instruction,
the University has now well organized courses, and thor-
oughly equipped laboratories in Analytical, Biological, Histo-
logical, and Physical investigation and experimentation.
The University has always wished to keep its educational
hold and influence over the students who have won its first
honors, and promote them to the higher academic honors on
the basis of further and proper studies. In accord with the
standing usage of American colleges, it long gave the degree
of Master of Arts, in cursu^ to all Bachelors of Arts of three
years' standing. Then, with more conservative action, it
gave the second degree to those graduates only who made
application for it, accompanied with evidence of continued
literary or professional work of any kind. But for some
years, now, it has ceased to give this degree, in cursu^ or pro
honore, and confers it only for specific work accomplished.
70 Ohio Wesley an University:
In this intent, the University has established courses of post-
graduate work, with large elective latitude, leading to the
degrees of Master, and of Doctor of Philosophy. For the
former degree is required one year of continuous study, or
its equivalent for a longer time ; and for the latter, three
years of continuous study. These courses, and the examina-
tions and theses required, are such as best test the candi-
date's powers of application, and acquisition, and mastery,
of the subjects.
In the line of this action, both the trustees and the Faculty
are considering the policy of abandoning all honorary de-
grees ; and of conferring even the degree of Doctor of
Divinity, and of Doctor of Laws (unless in very exceptional
instances), only for prescribed work done, or its substantial
equivalent.
The Normal Department has been revived, and a fair
course of study, extending through three years, has been
prescribed, adapted especially to those who would fit them-
selves for teaching in the common schools. It is the hope
of the University to make this course both attractive and
useful to this large class of youth. A professional certificate,
but no degree, is given to those who complete this course.
In 1875,. Professor Grove, with the approval of the Faculty,
organized a battalion for elementary instruction in military
science. This organization was kept up for a number of
years as a voluntary work on the part of instructor and
students, but received no credit in the ranking of the stu-
dents. The arms and other equipments were furnished by the
State. But in 1890, on the application of the Board of
Trustees, the Secretary of War detailed an officer of the
Army as Professor of Military Science and Tactics in the
University. The work in this department is now elective
for three hours a week, and is open to all students, and it
Fifty Years of History, 71
receives credit in the books of the University. The instruc-
tion given is that of the United States Infantry and Artil-
lery and Signal Corps ; and the arms and accoutrements are
furnished free by the War Department. The cadets wear a
uniform of gray cloth, and present a very becoming appear-
ance. The Faculty of the University recognize the value of
military drill in its beneficial effects upon the general health
of the students and in their improved bearing, in inculcating
habits of neatness, obedience^and promptness, and in stimu-
lating a spirit of patriotism.
Much attention has always been given in the University
to the study and practice of elocution ; and the results are
seen in the successes which have marked the elocutionary
exercises of the students, their oratorical contests at home,
and in competition with other colleges; and in the reputation
of our graduates in public professional life. From time to
time different methods have been followed and excellent in-
structors engaged for imparting instruction in this necessary
art. As early as 1880, definite arrangements were made
with Professors Trueblood and Fulton for one term's instruc-
tion each year. This was found profitable; but owing to the
brevity of the work, it was not fully satisfactory. In 1890,
the Board of Trustees established the Chair of Elocution
and Oratory, and filled it by the election of Professor Robert
I. Fulton, securing his services much of the year. In
1894, with the approval of the Board, the School of Oratory
was separately incorporated, more thoroughly organized,
and a fuller course of instruction marked out. This course
prescribes continuous instruction for several years ; and the
degree of Graduate in Oratory is given to candidates who
complete it, if they have also attained at least senior rank
in one of the college courses.
The University has also established, as the occasions have
72 Ohio Wesleyan University:
arisen, departments in Music, Art, and Commercial Train-
ing. The first of them has developed into large proportions ;
and the Conservatory of Music is well organized and suc-
cessful. It is under the direction of an experienced and
skillful director, assisted by a competent corps of instructors.
There are facilities for training in all the lines of music,
vocal and instrumental. In furtherance of this art, the in-
structors and students have organized the Euterpean Music-
al Union, with a hundred and thirty members, singers and
performers. This society has been remarkably enthusiastic,
and has supplied itself with various instruments and a good
library of music ; and has held some concerts of the highest
order, both in Delaware and elsewhere. By these efforts it
has contributed more than two thousand dollars towards the
cost of the great organ in Gray Chapel. Besides the large
Euterpean Society, there is a very successful and popular
Glee Club, and a Mandolin Club.
The Department of Art is well organized, and instruction
is given by skilled teachers in all the lines of drawing,
painting, carving and decorative art.
No degrees are conferred in these departments, but to
students who have completed the course, certificates of pro-
ficiency are given on Commencement day, with the graduat-
ing classes.
A well-regulated course of physical culture has been
marked out for the ladies, especially those at Monnett Hall,
and placed in the charge of an intelligent and skillful in-
structor.
The University has always maintained a Preparatory De-
partment, and will probably need to maintain one for another
fifty years to come. When the University began its work,
there were almost no classical academies in Ohio, and few
high schools in the cities, in which the classics, and German
Fifty Years of History. 73
and French were taught. The University was compelled to
organize a Preparatory Department for instruction in the
elements of the Latin and Greek languages. We should
otherwise have had no students in the " college classes."
The urgency is not so great now ; but the necessity of main-
taining a Preparatory Department still remains. There are
some classic academies in Ohio, that serve partly as feeders
to the University ; and mOvSt of the high schools in the cities
and large towns teach Latin, ancl some of them Greek ; but
while they furnish us some good scholars for advanced
standing, most of our college students are still made in our
own school. The proportion of college students in oiir an-
nual attendance has gradually increased, from about twenty
per cent, of the whole, until now, for some years past, it has
been about fifty per cent, of the whole number. The prepar-
atory course embraces three years of study, and is the same
in substance and in thoroughness as that adopted as a con-
dition of entrance in the best colleges of the country.
STUDENTS.
The table given further on shows that the catalogue en-
rollment of students of the University for the first year was
but 1 10 ; from which number the attendance gradually in-
creased to 257 in 1850. The next year showed 506 names,
nearly double the previous number on the University books.
This sudden increase was due to the system of cheap schol-
arships that year put into successful operation by the Board
of Trustees. Of these, as we have seen, nearly four thousand
were sold, and thus both the endowment of the University
was largely increased and the circle of its patronage and use-
fulness greatly widened. The movement at once called at-
tention to the University. Many hundred parents were led
to seek a higher education for their sons than they had be-
74 Ohio Wesley ail University :
fore deemed within their means ; and the thought of such a
possibility was exciting the generous ambition of many
young men, who had else remained content with the little
education given in the common schools of their own neigh-
borhood. These scholarships and others of later date are
still held by thousands of families ; and have always been
an incentive to large numbers to seek an education in the
University. The result is, that the attendance since 1851
has always been large. At no time, not even during the
dark days of the Rebellion, or of the financial collapse after-
ward, has the enrollment gone as low as before the inaugu-
ration of the scholarship system. Only once, in 1863, the
dark year of the war, has the aggregate fallen as low as 300 ;
and up to the union of the two schools it usually exceeded
400. After that event, the enrollment sprang at once to
more than 600 ; and in two years went up to a thousand.
For the last six years it has averaged about 1,150. The
iDooks of the University, including partly a conservative es-
timate of the attendance, show that it has matriculated, from
first to last, more than fifteen thousand students, not includ-
ing the ladies enrolled in the Female College, 1853-77.
Of these, nearly 2,200, a little more than one-seventh,
have remained to graduation. In these Western States, the
channels of business are so wide and inviting that it is diffi-
cult to induce students to stay for a degree. To this must
be added the consideration that a very large number of the
matriculants are poor, and are under the necessity of earning
the means of support in college by manual labor or by teach-
ing. It demands an extraordinary strength of character and
zeal for learning, for persons, already competent to the active
duties of life, to remain in school from four to seven years.
Yet, of those who have gone out under graduation, a large
number took advanced courses of considerable extent. The

latitude of choice offered by the wide range in the several
courses of study enables a student to shape his work in
school with reference to his anticipated professional or
business needs ; and many acquire a respectable education
without taking a degree.
It has already been stated that, while the tuition fees were
fixed at the low rate of thirty dollars a year, yet, after the
first few years, all the students have been on scholarships,
and have paid no tuition fees for the required academic
studies. But small fees have been charged for the elective
Art studies (Music and Painting), Elocution, Laboratory
work, and Commercial instruction. For these extra studies,
the total receipts in 1893-94 were just $12,000, which barely
paid the expenditures for the several departments named.
Charges for tuition such as are customary in the great East-
ern schools, ranging from $100 a year to $150, would wholly
exclude a majority of our students from the privileges of the
University. It is a matter of just pride to the University that
it puts an education within the reach of every worthy person ;
and the Ohio Wesleyan has never turned any student from
her doors because he was unable to pay for the instruction
that he desired. The only charge to the students is a small
fee towards meeting the incidental expenses of the institu-
tion, for repair and care of buildings, fuel, light, water, jani-
tors, insurance, printing, etc. Even this fee was for many
years only nominal, and has never met the expenditures.
It is now ten dollars a term ; but a great many beneficiaries,
students preparing for the ministry, sons and daughters of
ministers, and special cases, have a reduction of one-half of
this amount. The actual receipts on this account last year
were almost $15,000; but the actual cost to the University
was nearly $18,000.
With a large number of persons, the question'of personal
Fifty Years of History. "jj
expenses decides the question of a colleo;e education. For-
tunately the condition of things here favors young people
who need to practice economy. The cost of living was at
first very moderate ; and competition has kept the cost of
boarding in private families within reasonable limits. Be-
sides, a large number of the students, for economy's sake,
have boarded themselves, or united in students' clubs. For-
tunately, the moral and intellectual surroundings here have
prevented any social ostracism. Wealth and extravagance
do not give position in this school. Here, as well as else-
where, it has been found that cheap living and high think-
ing may go together. It has not been the policy of the
school to have a system of " College Commons." A few
students were, at first, allowed to room in the college build-
ing; but finally all found rooms and boarding in the town.
This scattering of the students, apart from one another, is in
the interest of order and studious habits ; it keeps the stu-
dents imder family influences, and brings the citizens into
kind relations with the institution.
In addition to the routine of college life and work, the
students have shown much interest in voluntary organiza-
tions for literary, forensic, social, or physical culture. The
gentlemen have organized eight literary societies. Of these,
four are confined to the college classes: the Zetagathean,
founded in 1845 ; the Chrestomathean, in 1846; the Athen-
ian, in 1851 ; the Amphictyonian, in 1886; and four are
made up of members from the Preparatory classes : the Mel-
eterian, founded in 1866 ; the Philomathean, in 1873 ; the
Calagonian, in 1887 ; and the University Lyceum, in 1889.
The ladies of Monnett Hall have three literary societies, in
which membership is not restricted to any particular college
classes : the Clionian, organized in 1857 ; the Athenaeum,
in 1861; and the Castalian, in 1889. These literary societies
78 Ohio Wesleyan University:
are sustained with spirit and generous rivalry, and are of
much vahie in the literary and forensic culture of their
members. They have fine, tastefully furnished halls ; and
the older societies were for a long time, also engaged in ac-
cumulating libraries, but have recently abandoned these, in
view of the unrestricted privileges of the University library.
The Greek-letter societies, or inter-collegiate fraternities,
are represented in this institution by nine chapters. These
associations are held in great esteem by the members ; but it
has long been a mooted point among educators, whether
they are not, on the whole, injurious to the students, preju-
dicial to the literary societies, and an obstacle to college dis-
cipline. Some years since, the Board of Trustees, under
this conviction, ordered their discontinuance after a certain
time, but subsequently rescinded its action. It is but just,
however, to say that, with some probable exceptions, the
fraternity members have exercised over each other a salutary
and helpful influence.
The following fraternities have chapters in Delaware : the
Beta Theta Pi, established in 1853 ; the Sigma Chi, in 1855 ;
the Phi Delta Theta, in i860; the Phi Kappa Psi, in 1861 ;
the Delta Tau Delta, in 1866; the Phi Gamma Delta, in
1869; the Chi Phi, in 1873; the Alpha Tau Omega, in 1887,
and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon, in 1888.
The Oratorial Association of the University was established
in 1880, and has done much towards quickening and main-
taining an ambition for excellence in public speaking. The
association has had annual contests, participated in by select
representatives from the several literary societies ; and the
speakers winning the first honors here have represented the
University in the State inter-collegiate contests. In five
instances our representatives have won the State honors.
For many years there was a Lecture Association among
Fifty Years of History. 79
the students, that maintained an annual course of lectures,
varied with musical entertainments. In these lists were in-
cluded many of the most distinguished lecturers of this coun-
try and of Great Britain. The profits arising from these
courses were usually devoted by the Association to some
general University interest. For some years past, the man-
agement of the lecture course has been remitted to the sen-
ior class for each year, and the profits go to the class expenses
at Commencement.
Political clubs representing the great national parties and
policies have been organized among the students, and have
been sustained with enthusiasm during the seasons for polit-
ical campaigns. State or National. The contending organi-
zations are zealous, but carry on their work without partisan
rancor or estrangement towards their fellows.
In 1888, the students took up among themselves a sub-
scription of about $800, for a gymnasium. The Hon. Charles
W. Fairbanks, of the class of 1872, added $2,000 to this
amount. The total cost of the building was $5,000, the bal-
ance being paid from the general fund of the University.
The gymnasium was equipped with the needful apparatus,
but has not been as successful or useful as was hoped, for the
want of a competent trainer, who could devote his time to
this much-needed work.
The Athletic Association of the students was formed in
1890, and has been carried on with characteristic interest in
the games that are played, if not in the exercise that is
obtained. The University has appropriated two acres for
this purpose, and the Association has fenced the grounds,
and graded the surface, and erected a grand stand, for specta-
tors. The cost of these improvements, borne by the Associ-
ation, is about $2,000. The " teams " for base-ball and foot-
ball are diligent in drill, and have played many successful,
8o Ohio Wesley an University:
and some unsuccessful games, on our own grounds, and else-
where. These grounds are used, also, as parade grounds for
the University Battalion.
. The first students' college paper was started in 1866 by
Joseph B. Battelle, of the class of 1868. It was called by
him The Wester^i Collegian^ under which name it was
published for seven years. Its form was then changed, and
it was called The College Transcript. The editors, mem-
bers of the senior class for the current year, are elected by
their fellows, and have the financial responsibility for the
paper. In 1874, the ladies of the senior class at Monnett
were admitted to a representation in the editorial corps.
The Practical Student was started in 1888 by Wilbur F. Cope-
land, of the class of 1889. Both papers are now issued
weekly, and have a good circulation among the alumni and
students.
ALUMNI.
The Association of Alumni was formed in 1849. The
number of Alumni was then but twenty-two ; it has now
reached as many hundred. All graduates in ciLrsu are eligi-
ble to membership, and all students who have studied in the
University three years and have afterward received an hon-
orary degree. In 1872, the Association, with the cordial
consent of the Board of Trustees, was admitted, under a gen-
eral law of the State, enacted in their interest, to a repre-
sentation in the Board equal to that of each patronizing
annual Conference. The Alumni are destined here, as in the
older colleges of the country, to become eventually the great
controlling power in the institution. Fifteen of the number
already hold seats in the Board ; most of the positions in the
Faculty are held by graduates ; two of their number, Mr.
Wright and Dr. Hartupee, have endowed chairs in their
Alma Mater ; another, Mr. Mast, has given almost an equal
Fifty Years of History. 8i
amount for general purposes, and still others have together
partly endowed another chair — the Alumni Chair of Natural
History. These are evidently but the beginnings of things
in this direction. Most of the graduates are yet young men,
and have not risen to wealth or to commanding place ; but,
before another half a century shall have passed, they will
have both wealth and place, and will use them in the
interests of the University.
Regard for the Alma Mater has in all colleges been a
family tradition ; it strengthens with successive generations.
This is the source of growth and power in the older colleges.
The sons of the family, the benefactions of the family, are
the inheritance of the college where the father graduated.
It will be so here. Already many sons of the older gradu-
ates have been enrolled among the Alumni beside their
fathers. Besides these, many families have each had several
children as students who have not become graduates.
The Alumni have an " Alumni Day," Wednesday of Com-
mencement week, set apart for their formal sessions, and
for public exercises ; and they are represented on this day
by an oration from one of their number, chosen by them-
selves.
The local Alumnae of the Ohio Wesleyan Female College
early organized an association for social culture, mutual help,
and for aid to the College. These ladies, and such of the
more recent graduates of the University as have joined them,
still keep up their organization, with interest and profit to
themselves, and with great benefit to their Alma Mater. We
have seen that before the union they raised two thousand
dollars for the library of the Female College. Their special
effort now is to raise five thousand dollars to meet their sub-
scription for the great University organ.
The Alumni of the University, gentlemen and ladies, have
82 Ohio Wesley an University:
formed University clubs in several of the prominent localities
of the State, and elsewhere, for the cultivation of the social
amenities, for mutual professional support, and for the pro-
motion of the interests of the University. The clubs at Cin-
cinnati, Cleveland, and Zanesville, in Ohio, and at St. Paul,
in Minnesota, and some others, may be named among the
most enterprising and successful. Some of these clubs have
begun to contribute to the material help, as well as the repu-
tation of the University.
The Alumni have made their mark in the professions, in
political life, and in literature. In the last direction, the
University Alcove at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago
had a very gratifying collection, though not complete, of the
books written by the Alumni of the Ohio Wesleyan. The
catalogue is not large yet, but it is annually growing, and it
already covers a good list of titles in almost all the depart-
ments of thought, art, and science.
CONVOCATION.
In the year 1847, the Faculty, with a view to greater delib-
eration and circumspectness in conferring the honors of
the University, and the better to accredit these honors to
the public, invited the counsel and co-suffrage of all the
University Alumni of the second degree and of all who had
received honorary degrees from the University. This body,
sitting in conjunction with the Faculty, was called the Uni-
versity Convocation ; and with it rested the responsibility of
passing upon all nominations proposed by the Faculty for
literary degrees. The system worked well for a few years ;
but when the number entitled to seats in the Convocation
became large, it was found impossible to convene them, or
to secure their suffrages, and the Convocation was discon-
tinued.
Fifty Years of History. 83
FACULTY.
The number of teachers was from the first too small for
the work imposed on them ; and the increase in the number
of students and the multiplication of classes necessarily-
brought increase in the Faculty. In the academic course of
study, a few generations ago, attention was devoted entirely
to the Languages and Mathematics. These, with their sub-
divisions, constituting the trivium and the quadrivium of
the old universities, embraced about all the matters of
human knowledge that could then be made subsidiary to the
end of school discipline. But, in our own century, the
marvelous development of the Physical Sciences has opened
a wide and profitable field of study, both for knowledge and
discipline ; and the modern colleges have recognized the
rightful place of these subjects as a part of the academic
curriculum. The first appointments to the Faculty were to
the two first-named chairs. Languages and Mathematics ; but,
at the opening of the second year, the claims of the other
large class of sciences were recognized by the establishment
of a chair of Natural Science. This was filled by the
appointment of the Rev. Frederick Merrick as its incumbent.
Before the end of the year, Dr. Thomson assumed his place
as President and Professor of Philosophy. These six men
were not a large force for a college Faculty, but they were
able to give instruction in each of the great departments of
study ; and no class has been graduated from the University
without, at least, some instruction in all the subjects which
go to make a complete and symmetric culture. The first
graduating classes were, of course, small ; and by the time
the classes had grown to a respectable size, the number of
departments of instruction had also been increased, either
by the subdivision of the former chairs, or by the addition
of new ones.
84 Ohio Wesley ail University:
The University has been fortunate in the selection of its
Presidents. There have been four Presidents. We give a
brief sketch of each of the distinguished men who have
filled this office : i. The Rev. Edward Thomson, M. D., D. D.,
LL. D. He was born in 1810, at Portsea, England ; but by
growth and education he was an American. His home from
early youth was at Wooster, Ohio. He received a good
classical training, and afterward graduated in medicine at
Philadelphia. In 1832, he entered the ministry, in the Ohio
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and at once
became noted for his ability as a preacher and a writer. In
1838, he was chosen principal of the Norwalk Seminary, the
first Methodist school in the State of Ohio. His success
here established his reputation as an educator, and pointed
him out as the fittest man for the presidency of the Univer-
sity, to which position he was elected first in 1842, and again
in 1844. I^ t^^ Spring of the last-named year, he was
elected editor of the Ladies'^ Repository^ in Cincinnati, but
resigned this office after two years' service, to assume the
active duties of his position at Delaware. Eor fourteen
years he filled and graced this office. No college president
in the Church has shown larger administrative abilities, or
won a more enviable place in the affections and admiration
of college and Church alike. In i860, he was called by the
General Conference to edit the Christian Advocate, in New
York ; and again, in 1864, to the higher office of bishop in
the Church. He died suddenly in Wheeling, W. Va., March
22nd, 1870.
President Thomson taught but little during his connection
with the University. He usually had the senior class in one
study, but he found his happiest field of instruction and in-
fluence in the Sunday lectures before the University. It
was here that he made his wonderful power felt, and left the
86 Ohio Wesleyan University:
lasting impress of his thought and spirit on his rapt listeners.
His lectures, whether written or extemporized, were models
of sacred eloquence, worthy of any audience for their depth,
beauty and fervor. Bishop Thomson's publications are
numerous, and his literary remains yet in manuscript are
very extensive.
2. The Rev. Frederick Merrick, M, A. He was born Janu-
ary 29th, 1810, a native of Massachusetts,*and was educated in
the Wesleyan University, Connecticut. In 1836, he became
principal of Amenia Seminary, New York, and in 1838, pro-
fessor of Natural Science in Ohio University, Athens, and
member of the Ohio Conference. For one year, 1842-43, he
was pastor of the Methodist Church in Marietta. In 1843,
the Conference appointed him financial agent of the
Ohio Wesleyan University, to which institution he thereafter
devoted his life for fifty-one years.
In 1845, he was elected professor of Natural Sciences, and
was made acting President for the year, until Dr. Thomson
entered upon duty. In 185 1, he was transferred to the chair
of Moral Philosophy; and, on the resignation of President
Thomson, in i860, he was chosen as his successor. He held
this office for thirteen years; and then, in 1873, ^^ view of fail-
ing strength, he resigned the presidency, and was appointed
lecturer on Natural and Revealed Religion. This relation to
the college he sustained for twenty-one years, until his
death. In addition to his other duties, President Merrick
was Auditor of the University for nearly forty years, and
often acted as its agent in raising the endowment, or in get-
ting funds for improvements upon the buildings and grounds.
He died March 5th, 1894.
President Merrick's life as an educator was one of marked
excellence and influence. His interest in young people and
his sympathy with them in their work were unbounded. As
Fifty Years of History. 87
a teacher, his enthusiasm and devotion knew no limit. As
a man of affairs, he possessed rare foresight, wisdom, and
efficiency. His consecration, self-sacrifice, and generosity
to the institution, of which he was so great a part, were
complete. By his Christian zeal, earnest appeals, spiritual
leadership, and saintly character, he moved multitudes to a
Christian life and by the cultivation of a missionary spirit
among the students, his influence has been felt to the ends
of the earth, through those whom he inspired to go thither.
Among all who knew him his presence was felt as a bene-
diction, and the example of his daily life as an inspiration
to a stronger Christian manhood. And the wise provision
which he made in the " Merrick Lectures before the Uni-
versity," for the stated inculcation of religious principles
and practice, will perpetuate his influence in the University,
the Church, and the world.
After President Merrick's resignation, the Rev. Fales H.
Newhall, D. D., of Boston, was elected to the presidency ;
but, from prostration induced by intense and continued liter-
ary work, he was unable to enter upon duty, and resigned
his office the following year. Dr. Newhall died April 6th,
1883. The University meanwhile, and until the accession
of his successor, was for three years successfully administered
by Professor McCabe, the senior proiessor and Vice-Presi-
dent of the University.
3. The Rev. Charles H. Payne, D. D., LIv. D. President
Payne was born at Taunton, Massachusetts, and graduated
in 1856 at the Wesley an University, Connecticut. He taught
several terms in his early years, and was tutor for six
months after graduation, but spent most of his life in the
ministry. A vigorous thinker, an accomplished speaker and
writer, and a devoted pastor, he served some of the leading
Methodist Churches in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and Cincin-
88 Ohio Wesley an University:
nati. It was from this last city that he was called to the
presidency of the University in 1875. He took his seat the
following year. His administration began in the gloomiest
days of financial depression ; but the growth of the Univer-
sity during his administration was rapid and great. A quick-
ened interest for the University was felt throughout the
Church ; the patronizing Conferences were stimulated to
renewed efforts for the endowment ; the school was adver-
tised on a much more liberal scale than before ; the area of
its patronage greatly enlarged ; and, not least, the Univer-
sity and the Female College were united. This measure,
which had long been advocated and promoted by many
friends of both schools, was at length accomplished in 1877.
As the result of all these influences, both the enrollment and
the income of the University were doubled in a few years,
and the endowment largely increased. Dr. Payne was
always alert for the interests of the University. It was dur-
ing his administration that the beautiful President's house
was built, in 1885, (on a lot given by Mr. Mast), at a cost of
ten thousand dollars. Dr. Payne remained. President for
thirteen years, until his election by the General Conference
to the office of Corresponding Secretary of the Board of
Education.
4. The Rev. James W. Bashford, Ph. D., D. D., was born
in Wisconsin. He graduated at the University of Wisconsin
in 1873, and was elected Tutor in Greek. He took post-
graduate courses in the Boston University, in Theology,
Oratory, and Philosophy, completing these courses in 1879.
In 1880, and again in 1887, Dr. and Mrs. Bashford spent
many months abroad, traveling and visiting the German
universities. His pastoral work began while he was a stu-
dent in the School of Theology ; and he here revealed the
characteristics that were to make his ministry so marked a
REJV. JAMES W. BASHFORD, PH. D., D, D.
90 Ohio Wesley an University :
success. He subsequently filled leading pastorates in Port-
land and Buffalo. He declined repeated invitations to pro-
fessorships and to the presidency of colleges, but in 1889
accepted his election to the presidency of the Ohio Wesleyan
University as a call from God.
President Bash ford's genial personal qualities, and his
remarkable ability and versatility in the class-room, in the
religious culture of the students, and in the management of
affairs, give him a strong hold on the University. During
the six years since his administration began, the growth of
the school has been rapid, constant, and gratifying. Its
scholastic, religious, and material interests were never more
promising. The courses of study have been reconstructed,
the work better digested and distributed, the Faculty
strengthened, the number of students greatly enlarged, the
buildings doubled in extent and convenience, the endow-
ment increased one-third, and much more promised, and the
religious 'tone of the school intensified.
The professors who have held chairs in the University are
the following:
The Rev. Herman M. Johnson, D. D., was'born in Otsego
county, N. Y., November 25th, 1815. He graduated at the
Wesleyan University, Connecticut, in 1839 ; and before com-
ing to Delaware had held the chair of Ancient Languages in
St. Charles College, Missouri, and in Augusta College, Ken-
tucky. In 1844, he was elected Professor of Ancient Lan-
guages and Literature in the Ohio Wesleyan University.
Prof. Johnson had abilities as an instructor of the first order.
His mind was analytic ; he had remarkable talent to explain

The work of the professors has not always been restricted
to their own departments. Besides the necessity of provid-
ing instruction in more subjects than there have been chairs,
especially in the earlier years, the professors have often
found it convenient to themselves to extend their work to
subjects lying outside their several departments. But not
even by this additional labor has it ever been possible for
them alone to provide for all the classes. In this institution.
Fifty Years of History. 103
as in most Western colleges, it has been necessary not only
to furnish instruction to the four " college classes," but also
to maintain a preparatory or grammar school, for those not
yet ready to enter Freshman. Indeed, the majority of the
students enrolled are of this latter description. Coming
from rural districts, and sometimes from towns where the
high schools do not furnish instruction in the classic lan-
guages and mathematics, this class of students must needs
begin their preparatory studies after entering the institution.
To assist them, a large number of additional teachers has
always been required. These have been variously desig-
nated, and not always by the same name for the same work.
During the thirteen years of President Merrick's administra-
tion, it was the policy of the institution to have but two
grades of instructors, "professors" and "tutors." But, be-
fore that time, the Preparatory Department had a separate
organization under the charge of "principals," and this
order has been re-established.
Besides the professors, the following instructors may be
named :
Rev. Thomas D. Crow, M. A., a graduate of Augusta Col-
lege, was Principal of the Preparatory Department from
1850 to 1852. He was long a member of the Cincinnati
Conference, but is now practicing law in Urbana.
John Ogden, M. iV., was appointed Principal of the Normal
Department in 1853, and remained for two years, until called

sity, the following may be named, all of whom are graduates

I^QoAPlelle.
io8 Ohio Wesley an University :
1891-92 ; Virgil E. McCaskill, B. A., 1893 ; Lycurgus ly.
Hudson, B. A., 1894.
In addition to the Faculty, every year a number of the
advanced students, usually from the senior class, have been
employed to give instruction in the lower grades. Many of
them have had considerable experience in teaching before
coming to the University. They have given satisfaction in
their work here ; and some have taken high rank else-
where, after leaving the University.
The Board of Trustees, in filling vacancies or new chairs,
have recognized the excellence of the work done in the Uni-
versity ; and have not felt the need to go elsewhere for com-
petent teachers. Aside from the members of the first
Faculty, and one or two of later appointments, all the pro-
fessors and tutors elected to positions in the University have
been from among our own alumni. This circumstance
might seem to indicate a perpetuation of routine methods or
persistent types of teaching. But fortunately, thus far, the
Presidents of the University, upon whom the policy and
methods so largely depend, have been graduates of other
schools ; and all the younger professors and almost all the
other teachers have taken post-graduate work elsewhere,
and bring with them to their duties here the best ideas
and methods of other schools as well as of our own.
The University has been notably free from internal troub-
les. There has rarely been any difference of judgment in
regard to policy or measures ; and there has been no aliena-
tion of feeling, and never any appeals to the Board from con-
tending parties. Jealousies, factions, quarrels, have been
absolutely unknown in the Faculty ; in their place have been
mutual regard, co-operation, and a sincere desire to pro-
mote one another's personal and professional interests, and
the prosperity of the University.
Fifty Years of History. 109
Happily, too, the most cordial relations have always ex-
isted between the University and the citizens. No invidious
class words are known here, such as, in the University towns
of the old world, mark the antagonisms between the Uni-
versity and the people — " Gown and town ; " " College and
Philistines." Living, as most of the students do, in the
families of the citizens, intermingling in the same circles,
attending the same churches, members of the same political
or other organizations, many of the students coming from
the families of the town, and many of the students from
other places finally intermarrying with the families here,
there has been no possibility, as there has been no occasion,
for antipathy between them. The churches of the city have
always welcomed the attendance and membership and con-
tributions of the students. In some of the churches they
are a large and influential element ; and provision is regu-
larly made for their presence and union in the public worship,

SEMI-CENTENNIAIv.
In the year 1894., the Ohio Wesleyan University completed
its fiftieth year of service. The celebration of this semi-
centennial anniversary was anticipated with interest, and
suitable preparations were made that the commemorative
exercises should be appropriate and satisfactory. These exer-
cises were held in conjunction with the exercises of the
fiftieth Commencement of the University. There was an un-
precedented and gratifying attendance of the friends of the
institution. The alumni, especially, were gathered in large
numbers, many of them from the extremes of the continent,
to do honor to their Alma Mater. Other visitors, many dis-
tinguished in Church and State, in professional and busi-
ness life, came to share in the solemnities and the festivities
no Ohio Wesley an University :
of the occasion ; and all seemed gratified with the* past of
the University's history, and enthusiastic with the promising
outlook. It was a week of enjoyment which those that
participated in it will never forget.
We are glad to avail ourselves of Professor Whitlock's
graphic and happy description of the occasion. He says :
'' The jubilee exercises continued for six days, and consisted
of sermons, addresses, historical sketches, reminiscences,
concerts, class dinners and reunions, alumni banquet, art
and literary society exhibitions, battalion drill, students'
athletics, greetings from other colleges, and in conclusion, a
general University reception. The programme was elaborate
and was carried out with the omission of no essential feature.
During these days the platform was graced by the pres-
ence and utterances of governors of States, bishops, doctors,
editors, college presidents, professors and students, attorneys,
physicians, railroad and bank officials, and merchants ; and
the latter were equal to the very best professional speakers
with their words of wisdom, thrilling the vast audiences,
and inspiring enthusiasm.
The Baccalaureate Sermon, by President Bashford,on Sun-
day morning, June 17th, in topic, conception, breadth of
treatment, and in suggestive and inspiring teachings, was
worthy of the occasion, and was a key-note to the great week
to follow. Bishop Walden had charge in the afternoon of
the semi-centennial love-feast ; and with Faculty, students
and visiting clergy shared in the conduct of prayer and re-
vival services at 5:30 each morning. On Sunday evening.
Bishop Foster preached the sermon before the Christian As-
sociations. His presence, always a benediction, was espe-
cially fitting on this occasion. Fifty years ago he delivered
the University's first master's oration. Even before that
early date the youthful preacher, the aggressive student, and
Fifty Years of History. in
the eloquent logician, was recognized in the great West as a
coming man in the Church and country. The intervening
years have brought into international prominence and use-
fulness the masterly thinker and theologian, the educator
and author, and the sagacious and almost omnipresent gen-
eral superintendent.
On Thursday afternoon. Governor McKinley made the
final address of the extended programme. His international
reputation, official position and prospects, Napoleonic pres-
ence, and clear, penetrating voice, are sufficient to command
attention at any time and anywhere. On this occasion, all
these were but servants to the inherent merits of his
message. Perhaps the presence and possibilities of the
thousand cultured and educated youth moved him as con-
gressional halls and political conventions do not. The
scholar, the statesman, the administrator of great public
trusts, the pure and magnetic personality, the conscientious
Christian citizen, all appeared in his rounded periods of
practical wisdom and burning eloquence.
Within the fifty years there have been four presidents,
Edward Thomson, Frederick Merrick, Charles H. Payne and
James W. Bashford. The first and second of these four chief-
tains have gone to their reward. But the spell of their in-
fluence abides in wonderful richness. The impress of their
work, counsels, and life, is seen in all that the institution
now is. As the old students, their students, passed again
about the campus and through the halls, they seemed to be
reaching out for hands once warm to their touch, but now
eluding their grasp ; to be listening for voices that once
wakened them to a new life, and were music to their ears,
now silent in the grave, but whose names they utter only
with tenderest love and profoundest reverence.
The institution has a unique history in the length of
112 Ohio Wesley an University:
service of several of its professors. Dr. Robert Allyn, in
1890, remarked to the writer, " You sometimes change presi-
dents, but your professors go on forever." Three men, Drs.
Merrick, McCabe, and Williams, have given just one hundred
and fifty years of service. Dr. Merrick began his labors as
agent one year before the institution was organized, and as
professor, president, and lecturer, continued his connection
with it until March 5th last, when his death broke the
circle.
Dr. McCabe began his professional career here in 1845,
and is as deeply devoted to his beloved work as in earlier
years. For four years he was acting President, successfully
directing affairs in a critical period. His scholarship, ear-
nest and clear convictions, untiring energy, affectionate coun-
sels, magnetic eloquence, and facile pen have strongly im-
pressed many thousands of students passing beneath his
molding hand. Dr. Williams was present and helped to
organize the first classes, and has never been absent a single
term since ; and now, with a step as elastic and a mind as
quick and clear as in middle life, he gives promise of much
future service. He is widely known for his accuracy in
scholarship, breadth of learning, mastery of the classics and
of the English language, skill in New Testament exegesis,
and his thorough and stimulating methods of instruction.
At the historical meeting. Dr. McCabe gave reminiscences
covering his period of services, emphasizing the leading
features of the institution; and Dr. Williams read an historical
sketch, such as only the maker of history can produce. Dur-
ing the jubilee, these veterans were the observed of all ob-
servers, their praises were upon every tongue.
Three other members of the Faculty, Professors Whitlock,
Perkins, and Semans, have given one hundred and three
years of service to the University ; but this number of years

is so comparatively small that it seems not to be known even
to their immediate friends.
Historical celebrations naturally bring contrasts. The be-
ginning and the present of the Ohio Wesleyan University
are now placed in the more vivid contrast by the continued
presence of those who were a part of the beginning. The
contrast is to be noted in the seat of the institution, in build-
ings, equipments, endowments, and in students. In 1844,
Delaware was a village of scarcely more than a thousand in-
habitants, surrounded by dense forests, accessible by no
public conveyances save the tri-weekly stage, which could
make but a few miles per day in the Winter and Spring sea-
sons. This date preceded railroads and mostly turnpikes in
Ohio. Now the village, through university stimulus, has
grown into a beautiful inland city of ten thousand inhabit-
ants, having all modern conveniences and improvements, is
in the midst of richly cultivated agricultural and horticul-
tural lands, and is upon leading lines of commerce and
travel.
There was at the beginning but one building upon the
campus, a frame structure three stories high, and this was
made to contain recitation rooms, offices, library, chapel, and
literary society halls. Now there are seven buildings of
good size and rare adaptation. The new University Hall is
the most imposing and the most complete college building
in Ohio, and has few equals in the entire country. At the
opening in the Autumn of 1844, there were present twenty-
nine students and four instructors ; now, twelve hundred
students are annually enrolled, and there are forty members
of the Faculty. Professor E. T. Nelson, at the historical
meeting, read a paper which was wonderfully suggestive in
its striking statistics and in the variety and compactness of
the information it contained. Two thousand one hundred
114 Ohio Wesley an University :
and eighty-six students have been graduated. About seven
times that number have drunk at the same fountain for a
longer or shorter period. In the earlier history of the insti-
tution the relative number of those not graduated was much
larger than of recent years.
Three hundred and seventy-seven graduates have been min-
isters of the Gospel, and six thousand five hundred years of
service already stand to their credit. Sixty-nine of these
graduates have taken their theological course at Boston Uni-
versity, thirty at Drew Seminary, eight at Garrett, and a few
at the schools of other denominations. After the war, many
of the graduates began to seek professional training in the
leading universities of this country and of Europe, and have
secured the degrees of M. A. and Ph. D. from them. More
than one hundred have taken a full post-graduate course in
law and received the degree of LL. B., and are in the van of
advocates and jurists in many of the States of the Union.
The same is true in the medical profession.
Some sixty of the graduates have become college presi-
dents, about three times this number college professors, and
a still greater number have been instructors in academies
and the public schools. Dr. Nelson estimates six thousand
years of service in the work of teaching. This is a work the
Church ought to contemplate with pleasure. He also says
that one hundred and forty-six homes have been built up in
which both husband and wife are alumni of this institution ;
that sixty of the University's grandchildren have been gradu-
ated ; and that great-grandchildren have already been en-
rolled.
The statistics make clear what has long been the pride of
trustees, faculty and friends — a prevailing missionary spirit.
Sixty-four graduates and fifteen undergraduates have gone
to the ends of the earth in the holy and heroic crusade of

missionary work. They are in every mission field of the
Church, save Africa. Such men as Drs. Nathan Sites and
H. H. Lowry, in China ; T. J. Scott and William A. Mansell,
in India ; J. F. Thomson and Charles W. Drees, in South
America, will indicate the cast and the efficiency of the
workers sent forth.
The Ohio Wesleyan University had a small beginning.
There have been discouraging chapters in its history.
Methodism in Ohio has not always seemed to appreciate its
needs and its services, and possibilities of good to the Church.
But it has had a steady growth in popular favor, resources,
students and influences. It enters upon its second half
century with a reputation, equipments and consecration of
great promise. The place of a denominational college in the
work of the Church is better understood. Wealthy laymen
are coming to adopt it as their heir. Loyal alumni are plan-
ning to place their Alma Mater above want. People of all
faiths and no faiths are learning, as never before, that the
Christian college is the best educational center for their sons
and daughters. The monument of fifty years of successful
history is a prophecy of the greater prosperity that will be
realized in the future.

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLEGE
BUILDINGS.
Prepared by Rev. J. M. Barker, Ph. D.
THE BUILDINGS.
The material equipments of the University are among the
best. The attractive campus, embracing forty acres in the
center of the city, affords ample ground for the necessary
growth of a great University. Nature has given it some of
EI,I/IOTT HAI,!,.
the finest decorative touches. The green lawn, fine shade
trees, and large campus, make it a delightful place for
student-life.
The college buildings rank among the best for architect-
ural beauty and convenience.
I20
Ohio Wesley ail University :
Elliott Hall, formerly "The Old Mansion House," was
built for visitors, chiefly for those seeking the invigorating
climate and the health-giving waters of Delaware. It is fifty
feet square and four stories high, and well constructed. It
has served excellent educational purposes for half a century.
Two years ago,
it was removed
to a new site on
the campus, and
placed in good re-
pair. Its desir-
able recitation
rooms may be in
use for at least
another half-cen-
tury. The Phys-
ical Laboratory
occupies the first
floor of this hall,
and the other
rooms are de-
voted to class
work.
Thomson Hall
is doric in style,
and measures 55
by 88 feet. The Chemical Laboratory occupies the first
floor; the audience room, 23 feet high, covers the entire
upper floor, and serves as a lecture room. At Commence-
ment time it is utilized for an Alumni banquet hall.
Merrick Hall is a substantial edifice, three stories high, and
built of Delaware blue limestone. It is used as a Hall of
Science. The first floor is admirably adapted for the Bio-
THOMSON HALTv.
122 Ohio Wesley an University :
logical Laboratory, while the second floor is equally as well
"Suited for the Physiological Laboratory. These rooms con-
tain all the modern convenience and appliances for original
research. Upon the third floor is located the large and
valuable Museum and Cabinets.
University Hall and Gray Chapel, the most stately build-
ing on the campus, was completed in 1893. ^^ is a massive
building of Romanesque style, and built of buff" Amherst
sandstone, and supplied with all modern appliances for light,
heat and ventilation. It has a frontage of 150 feet, and a
depth of 160 feet. The west and north elevation is four
stories high. The building is crowned with a graceful
tower, 148 feet high. It unites under one roof the Adminis-
trative Ofiices, Lecture Rooms, Ladies' Parlor, Y. M. C. A.
Hall, six literary halls, twelve recitation rooms, and Gray
Chapel. All of the material used is of the highest excel-
lence, and the finish and decorations are beautiful and of the
most approved patterns. It is one of the most complete
college buildings to be found in America. It, and the other
buildings on the campus, will enable the • University to
accommodate two thousand students.
Gray Chapel will seat from twenty-five hundred to three
thousand people. It is here that the students meet daily for
religious worship and instruction, and in lecture courses and
concerts hear some of the most distinguished men and
women of the nation. The monthly Sunday afternoon
lectures by the President are heard by crowded audiences
and witli unabated interest. From this rallying center
of the University life goes forth an intellectual, social
and spiritual power to touch literally every continent on the
globe.
Monnett Hall is located on a separate campus, containing
ten acres. The broad walks, well-kept lawn and large shade
124

trees give charm to this picturesque spot. It contains a
spacious parlor, a well-selected library and a reading room,
three elegantly furnished literary halls, and a large dining
hall. Beautiful suites of rooms, with all modern improve-
ments, are tastefully furnished. The Hall accommodates

two hundred and fifty young women, who have the home
protection and supervisory care of experienced and culti-
vated teachers, with the invaluable advantages of co-
education.
REMINISCENCES
OF THE
FIRST HALF-CENTURY
OF THE
Ohio Wesleyan University.
Rev. l. d. MCCABE, d. d., ll. d.,
VICE-PRESIDENT.
ADDRESS.
Mr. President^ Ladies aJtd Gentle7nen :
I have been requested to speak to you of the reminiscences
of my forty-nine years of labor in your University. It oc-
curred to me that reminiscences are rather to be read in the
results of history than in the history itself.
The story of the past reveals itself most truly in the char-
acter and in existing facts. Our present satisfactions and
aspirations and realizations disclose the trend of life-long
efforts. The records of memory may be blemished by in-
firmity of recollection, but our living enthusiasm, our pres-
ent hopes and purposes, are the sign manual of past occur-
rences upon the pages of unmistakable character. So not
so much out of past events as out of a heart, .fashioned and
informed by these events, would we speak to you at this
hour; for when we deal most truly with ourselves, we meas-
ure existence as did the Hebrews, by a living, thrilling pres-
ent, ever moving onward, and by this token surely the
great names of clergy and laity, associated in the building
up of your University, have weight with us more by what
they are than by what they did.
Not the smallest inspiration of this hour is from the real
and living communion with the great characters once here,
but now who watch the progress of education and learning
from seats immortal.
Character is really organized victory. It is not a stately
building commanding admiration by cloud-capped towers,
Fifty Years of History, 127
but it is soul forces adjusted, drilled, disciplined and con-
centrated to do earnest battle, achieving illustrious victories.
Happy, then, is the institution that is shielded by the glory
of the great characters that have preceded us in the found-
ing and building of the Ohio Wesleyan University ; for hon-
orable worth and ennobling genius never die ; transferred to
the unseen, they are not removed from possibilities of service
on earth.
Those whose earthly lives were wrought into the perma-
nent welfare of the Ohio Wesleyan University still live to
protect her manifold interests, and by their inspiring pres-
ence to illumine her paths to future triumphs.
This immortal, unseen side is the powerful side of human
advancement, and well for the workers who, in conscious
purity of motive, can claim partnership with the forces
which move upon us from invisible characters. These char-
acters are this hour swinging in orbits of real and efficient
existence and can be relied upon for these attractions and
unearthly inspirations which do somehow sway the sincere
and the earnest into the paths of unquestioned success. And
so, believing that the living present, ''compassed about by
so great a cloud of witnesses," is more than any past, we
address you out of the worthy enthusiasms of a life as truly
conceived as to its specific aims and purposes. That we
may seem to neglect the record of the disciplines by which
these enthusiasms have been attained may be pardoned, as
Alpine travellers forget the ice and gloom and perils of the
ascent, and joyfully point up to heights illumined by radiant
dawns.
This is an auspicious period for the cause of higher educa-
tion, and particularly for the higher education of Method-
ism. The age of the destructive shifts into the constructive ;
especially is this so in the realm of Theology ; that full, ever-
128 Ohio Wesley an University :
welling fountain-head of energies and irresistible changes in
the realm of mind.
We pass from the thrall of metaphysical divinity to bibli-
cal divinity. Theology more and more conforms to the book,
less and less to any traditional systems. Acknowledged
leaders in Theology scan no more the musty guess-work of
mediaeval charts, but with the compass, the Word of God, in
hand, they dare the rising storms.
Methodism as a factor among constructive forces is already
well forward, because she has slight work to be undone.
She is the freeborn daughter of the eighteenth century. She
brings tidings on the mountains of salvation, with no link of
ancient fatalistic creeds to hinder her beautiful feet. Her
positions, first assumed, have firmly stood the test of all sub-
sequent investigation. Human freedom, and the offer of
universal salvation, made in good faith to every child of
Adam, have been her broad and lofty vantage-grounds, seen
and known of all. Refusing to be embarrassed by the in-
explicable metaphysics of the last centuries, she seized upon
the obvious truths of the gospel, and the manifest facts and
needs of human nature, and in flaming earnestness addressed
them to a perishing world, and the whole theological world
acknowledges the reasonableness, the efficiency and the
magnetism of her doctrines. A more biblical Theology than
this of the eighteenth century the world has never seen, and
it is not a mistake to infer from the confessions of friends,
and from the conformities of foes, an acknowledgment of
the high philosophical character of Wesleyan Theology.
Methodist Theology, because centered in deep religious ex-
perience, holds, we believe, the key of a more scientific bib-
lical interpretation and furnishes a greater certainty in the
realm of Christian Evidences. Methodist thinking has
placed intuitive divinity in a focus of light. But enough.
Fifty Years of History. 129
As an educator, I can but admire a Theology which, by the
removal of all pressures against native convictions, feeling
and logic, opens a more untrammelled and richer develop-
ment of the intellect, and which, by its fearless advocacy of
the divine proffer of perfectibility of human nature, and the
possibility of a sinlessness that does not involve guilt, makes
plain that paradox of present perfection and boundless soul
development in unmistalcable voice :
" The highest mounted mind, she vSaid
Still sees the sacred morning spread
The silent summit overhead."
" Forerun thy peers, thy time, and let
Thy feet millenniums hence be set
In midst of knowledge, dreamed not yet."
*' Thou hast not gained a real height
Nor art thou nearer to the light
Because the scale is infinite."
Methodism points definitely to an interminable progres-
sion in knowledge, holiness and power, and a life-time of
comparative study has but deepened also my respect for
Wesleyan Psychology. There is a Wesleyan Psychology,
and it is coincident with the dominant Psychology of the
day.
Psychology is the science of the whole soul, intellect,
sensibility and will. Methodism is applied Psychology. The
laws of hermeneutics of the Scriptures are obviously Armin-
ian, and necessitate methodistic exegesis.
John Wesley stepped one night into his experience of
justification by faith alone in the blood of Jesus Christ. This
wonderful experience was in keeping with that marvelous
epoch in the world's history. The air of the age was vibrant
with spiritual light and heat. It was followed by a brilliant
series of physical discoveries giving unprecedented impulse to
130 Ohio Wesley an University:
the world's material progress. It was a day of revelations, of
quickened intellects, and stirring views of man's privileges.
Mr. Wesley saw in a new and clearer light the real nature
of the human soul. Then to him was verified, once for all,
the truth so well stated by another great Englishman :
'' Not in the knowledge of things without, but in the perfec-
tion of the soul within, lies the empire of a man, aspiring to
be more than a man," and this experience taught that real
eloquence and gave faith to that strange power of touching
the springs of the human spirit, which seem to justify our
definition of Methodism as applied Psychology, and I claim
for our thinkers remarkable success in the study of the soul.
High religious experience has produced able thinkers.
Not as blind, burrowing moles of thought, but as winged
observers, looking upon the soul as a world bathed in light,
have our psychologists framed their system of Psychology.
This could hardly be otherwise to those who entertained the
self-genesis of the human will and the possibilities of faith.
The names of Fisk, Olin, Edward Thomson, of Bishop
Foster, John Miley, Borden P. Bowne, Whedon, B. F. Cocker,
H. H. Moore, J. B. Wentworth, and A. Mahan, are sufficient
to call the mind to the splendid champions of Wesleyan
Psychology ; born in a lucid living experience at the cross
of Christ, and confirmed by one hundred and thirty years of
incessant revivals, and sitting crowned to-day in the home
of mental research ; a mother whose children are the bright
solutions of numberless psychological difficulties wholly
unsolved by any others.
" Give me a young man in Metaphysics, and I do not care
who has him in Theology," said Dr. Nathaniel Taylor, one
of the most gifted of all Yale's gifted professors. In this
sentence we see the duty of the custodians of your institu-
tions to stand guard over your chair of Philosophy.
Fifty Years of History. 131
Reason with awe enquires what the Bible says. Rational-
ism enquires, impudently, what the Bible ought to say, and
then often puts a finite mind to sit in judgment on the
sayings of the infinite intellect. And w^ho has let in clearer
light on the vagaries of rationalism than our own Bishop
John F. Hurst, who has written, says Dr. James McCosh,
the best history and refutation of rationalism that has ever
been given the world, and what pen in Christendom has
poured more convincing light on the latent, but dangerous,
errors of rationalism than our own Dr. J. W. Mendenhall,
editor of the Methodist Quarterly Review^ whose sun hastened
to its setting "while yet it was day."
Idealism is another form of erroneous philosophy that is
now pressing hard upon us, which says that there is no
objective world ; that material existence cannot be proved ;
nothing has being but ideas.
" Idealism impeaches my knowledge 6i matter as material-
ism impeaches my knowledge of spirit," said Dr. Asa Mahan.
It prefers the shadowy evidence of the inference from doubt-
ful premises to the clear, powerful evidence of the intuition
of the senses. A mind preferring a feeble, smoky evidence
to one that is inexpressibly stronger, at once enters, from
habit, the empire of uncertainty, and goes on hesitating and
doubting to the end of life.
One of our own authors — H. H. Moore, I think — has
shrouded this most dangerous form of philosophical error for
its grave, its final resting place.
The associational school in Philosophy derives all the
wonderful powers of the mind from a single impression made
on the sensorium, and yet it is an impossibility, acknowl-
edged by all philosophers, to trace the connection between
an impression, made on the brain, of a house, and the
cognition of that house, received in the consciousness. This
132 Ohio Wesley an University :
system of thought, headed by names many and great, Borden
P. Bowne has refuted more magnificently than any other
error in all the realms of Philosophy. Professor Williarn
James, who is now Professor of Psychology in Harvard
University, has written a heavy work, " Physiological
Psychology," in which he says: "Almost all physiological
psychologists deny the freedom of the human will, and they
have no hesitancy in denying it." What a galaxy of great
qualities in man you must surrender if you deny to him free-
dom. Dr. Bowne is pronounced by Joseph Cook to be the
ablest metaphysician in all New England, and he has an
impatient antagonism to this form of psychological error.
Professor Eben Andrews, President of Brown Univer-
sity, one of the greatest men of the age, writes me that
he is at one with me in my dread of Physiological Psychology.
All who receive the freedom of the will, with all its measured
implications, will feel toward Professor James as he would
feel toward John Stuart Mill, discussing "The Mind is a
Series of Feelings."
Professor A. E. Dolbear, one of our graduates, said to me
that the materialists had now to seek new arguments in
support of materialism, for that Dr. Bowne had triumphantly
answered all the arguments upon which they had hitherto
relied. Could I be considered immodest, then, in urging our
claims for Wesleyan Psychology ?
Patriotism. — Among the voices of the heart that struggle
for utterance at this time I am compelled to call your atten-
tion to Patriotism I cannot stifle that love of country
which comes to be the special heritage of the true educator.
The spirit of Patriotism lies in every school of American
Methodism. One great calamity of the period out of which
we seem to pass has been the depreciation of all enthusiasms
by a class of educators, who have thus vitiated the influence
Fifty Years of History. 133
of otherwise brilliant talents. And Patriotism has shared in
the general discount. But now the day of old-fashioned
enthusiasms and Patriotism revives, and it is a most health-
ful sign. The spires of this University to-day, as never
before, throw their shadows over the dome of your State.
True citizenship is more consciously than ever one great aim
of academic culture. Nothing is more attractive to our
youth, man or woman, than to become a patriot and a
patriot scholar. And the 'Spirit of Methodism, rich in
enthusiasms, always true, always real, always warm, always
hopeful, nurtures the very soul of Patriotism. That spirit is
certainly one of the sources of those moralities, devotions,
and simple earnestness upon which civic virtue rests.
There is a clearer call to-day for a deeper, richer, wider
love of country than ever before. The times demand a
ringing Patriotism. Never was there need of greater, not
even when the war drums throbbed about our campus,
calling the brightest of our students to battle and to death
for our sacred Union. Who can forget them? Captain
Clason, Captain Buchwalter, Captain Woods, Captain Purdy,
and many others. My unstrained vision sees them pass in
honor's bright array, while in their shining eyes I read their
undivided love of college and of country. But, from the
pictures of ineffaceable memory, we turn to feel our present
National needs. Patriotism as splendid, as daring, as
uncompromising, as self-sacrificing as theirs is still de-
manded. While yonder spring pulses through the years,
may the crystal fount of Patriotism flow on forever here, to
the memory of which the private citizen, the brave soldier,
and the hard-pressed patriotic statesman shall turn and find
grace to help in times of sorest need.
Universai^ Benevolence is another of our cherished
enthusiasms. Much, however, as university associations may
134 Ohio Wesley an University:
deepen the claim of the local and the greater claim of the
National, one cannot but recognize their steady tendency to
broaden the mind to world-wide sympathies. The atmosphere
of a college breathes universal interest within the human
heart.
Years of collegiate service clear the eyes so that we seem
to view the suffering and the disability of the human race as
waiting in the porches of the university for some promised
angel of mercy. The university of the present justifies the
assumption of its title by it'^ relations to universal helpful-
ness ; for, while the sick, the illiterate, the maimed in body
and soul are lingering in their helplessness, lo ! out of the
university walks the spirit of Jesus Christ, leading a growing
throng of trained workers and helpers into hospitals, asylums,
schools, and missions. More and more, in the future, shall
the path of universal benevolence lie through your uni-
versity.
University life is everywhere awaking from its selfish
dreams and short visions to see across the straits of human
sorrow an apparition of the man who beckons and cries :
^' Come over and help us!" The man of socialism rises,
grisly and begrimed, and calls : "Come over and help us ! "
The man of crime and criminal instincts rises from behind
the steaming slums and the frown of prison walls, and cries:
*'Come over and help us!" May the university be able to
answer all such calls. The man of heathenism, drenched
with the blood of unholy penances, rises, stung by demons
of despair, and cries: "Come over and help us!" And the
university nobly answers that call with thousands of her best
and most consecrated sons and daughters.
Ivook again. Behold all semblances of human woe blended
in a well-known form ; it is the man of sorrows, identified
with all the broken-hearted, bleeding, bowed children of
Fifty Years of History. 135
men, standing and calling to all that is best in our university
life and culture: "Come over and help us!" Through
every door and casement, however lofty, which advancing
culture has opened, comes the pleading of that voice. And
who is there but feels that our university life should swell
with a responsive sympathy as universal and as practical as
that boundless love which condescends to utter its most
iuiperative commands in the simple terms of human neces-
sities.
Standing here to-day, I realize most strongly the identity
of the mission of the cross and the mission of the university.
On the one, Jesus of Nazareth died, and in the other he lives
for the revelation of the nature of God, and the vindication
of the value of the human soul, and to exhibit the truest
patriotism, and to fill the world with His universal benev-
olence.
The enthusiasms of that heart which broke on Calvary are
ours. The enthusiasms of that mind in which are held the
treasured ideals of true humanity are ours. May God
•empower us to go up and possess these diviner enthusiasms.
To me, these enthusiasms seem life's worthiest lessons ; the
surest satisfaction of the present, and the joy of what years
may come. They bring us soul to soul with Jesus Christ, in
sympathy and in vision, and in this experience we share the
■^'inward fragrance of His divine heart."
In such an hour as this we need no retrospective glance.
The past crowds upon us as a most solemn and impressive
now. Not alone our Presidents ; not alone our professors ;
not alone our trustees, who, in the heroic years of the Uni-
versity, gave time and thought and sacrifice to secure the
""sinews of learning;" not alone women who have put
hands " beautiful with patient toil " to the rearing of this
structure ; not alone to students beloved, and students now
136 Ohio Wesley an University:
renowned ; — but I see a countless throng of itinerant Method-
ist preachers, silver and gold having none, poor in this
world's goods, but rich in faith, going to poor appointments,
or good appointments, or to none, but always and every-
where heralding the gospel of the college with the gospel of
Jesus Christ. They shared their little pittance with the
University. They counted nothing dear to themselves if
thereby the University might win.
Quarried out of the itinerant's heart of sacrifice and love,
these walls on which we look to-day are walls of salvation.
These stones are precious stones indeed. These heroes
cannot be forgotten ; they live while the University lives,
and they live in its sons and daughters the wide world over.
And what is the message to-day from this varied and
mingled cloud of witnesses out of all the past ? Is it not :
"Do justly;" ''Love mercy;" "Walk humbly with thy
God ; " " Contend manfully for the faith once delivered to
the saints ; " " Be loyal to the standards of the fathers as
they were loyal to the living, ever living word of God."
Then none shall be greater than the Ohio Wesleyan
University ; none shall be stronger. Great in Him who is
the fountain of all blessings, and strong in Him who is
the fountain of all grace.
FREDERICK MERRICK.
W11.BRAHAM, Mass., January 29, 1810.
DeIvAware, Ohio, March 5, 1894.
[ Extracted from the report of President Bashford to the Board of
Trustees, June, 1894.]
You are already aware of the most important event of the
past twelve months in the history of the University. One
face is painfully missed as we gather for our semi-centennial
celebration. Bx- President Merrick first set foot upon these
grounds fifty-one years ago this Summer, one year after the
college was chartered, and one year before it was opened for
students. There met his gaze an empty building, and a
heavy debt. From that time until his death he was in
the service of the University, two years as a Financial
Agent, fifteen years as a Professor, thirteen years as the Presi-
dent, and twenty-one years as Emeritus Professor and Ivec-
turer on Natural and Revealed Religion — fifty-one years in
all. His long services, his generous gifts to the college, and
his strong character deserve recognition at our hands.
Dr. Merrick had the advantage of birth and early years
upon a farm. The son of a merchant or of a professional
man is sometimes stunted in his physical development by
his lack of exercise and of suitable surroundings. He can-
not know the details of his father's business. He cannot
trace the growth of his father's income. He sees before him
no tasks which he can profitably perform, no ways by which
he can contribute to the support of the family. But a farm
boy has good food, plenty of exercise, and quiet hours for
138 Ohio Wesley an University:
sleep. He comes in contact not only with nature but with
the realities of life. He meets law face to face, and reaps
the visible products of his sowing. He soon becomes a
factor in the life of the family, and feels the restraint and
the impulse of responsibility. Happy is the man whose
birth is on a farm.
In addition to his early farm life, Dr. Merrick had the
advantage of a commercial training. At seventeen he be-
came a clerk in a store, and soon made himself so indispen-
sable to his employer that he was admitted as a partner.
Here he secured that commercial training which, together
with his native capacity for business, made his financial
services invaluable to the University. For over forty years
he was Auditor, and had almost complete charge of the
grounds and buildings, of the receipts and expenditures, of
the loans and investments. It was his native ability and his
providential training, combined with his unselfish devotion
to the college, and the help of the Heavenly Father which
enabled him, in 185 1, to raise sixteen thousand dollars for
Thomson Chapel ; in 1853, to supplement Mri Sturges' gen-
erous gift of ten thousand dollars with five thousand more,
and thus to secure our present Library Building ; in 1859, to
raise five thousand dollars for the purchase of the Prescott
Cabinet.
Another important factor in the preparation of this man
for his providential work was his scholastic training at the
Academy and College, and his experience as a teacher and
administrator before he came to us. Soon after his con-
version, which was the turning point in his life, he entered
Wesleyan Academy, at Wilbraham, Mass., and later matric-
ulated at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn. He
failed to complete the college course, not for lack of scholar-
ship, but on account of the superior qualities which were
Fifty Years of History, 139
already recognized in him. During his Senior year, Presi-
dent Fisk nominated him for the headship of the Conference
Seminary, at Amenia, N. Y., and he was called to face the
responsibilities of life before he was fairly through with his
college work. His success as a teacher and as an adminis-
trator was remarkable, and, in 1838, he was elected to the
chair of Natural Science in the Ohio University, at Athens,
and taught there until his call to this University, in 1843.
Among the young men whom he helped to train at Athens,
none gave more brilliant promise or has had a more brilliant
and useful career than Professor McCabe, who soon after be-
came his fellow-worker at Delaware.
The fourth and most important element in the training of
this noble man was his religious faith, growing out of his
Puritan ancestry, his Methodist conversion, and his life-long
consecration to the service of God and of his fellow men.
His birthright and his Christian experience enabled him to
combine the best elements of the Puritan and the Methodist.
Puritanism at its best is man living face to face with duty,
walking in the presence of God, striving to meet the re-
sponsibilities of life. The Cavalier at his best is a man
governed by the sense of personal honor, animated by the
spirit of chivalry, believing in the naturalness of human
joy, and trying to make his neighbor happy. Both concep-
tions of life are united in Christ. Frederick Merrick
made the decisive choice in his destiny when, at the call of
God, he turned from earthly ambitions and comforts and
made duty the supreme law of his life. Duty and responsi-
bility were the key words, especially of his early and middle
career. How often have the hosts of young people gathered
around him heard above the multitudinous clamour of pas-
sions and appetites their spiritual commander trumpeting
forth these two watchwords. Duty, Responsibility.
140 Ohio Wesley an University:
Puritanism made heroes. Methodism makes heroes, too ;
and then turns them into saints. Professor Merrick's
Puritan ancestry and New England training led him to select
first the earlier half of Methodist discipline, and the heroic
element in his life appeared. This element, perhaps, pre-
dominated during the greater portion of his life. The
students believed absolutely in his integrity, admired his un-
.selfishness, dreaded his rebukes, and felt that they ought to
follow in the paths of duty and of service which he pointed
out and in which he unflinchingly walked himself. During
this time the leader of the college worked for such reforms
as are the glory of a city and of a nation. He was an un-
compromising Abolitionist, when the profession of such
sentiments was unpopular. He contributed to the Under-
ground Railway, by which slaves passed across the State to
Canada. He strengthened Thomson as that intrepid soul
went out to arouse the conscience of the Church upon this
national sin ; and after the departure of the matchless Presi-
dent, Dr. Merrick so encouraged and strengthened the
sentiment of freedom kindled by his predecessor that, at the
outbreak of the war, the college was almost emptied of
students for the Union Army. I believe that only two of
our students entered the Confederate service, and these two
went back to serve the States that gave them birth with a
loftier courage and a more heroic devotion to duty because
of their contact with this prophetic soul.
But after President Merrick's health broke down, and he
was relieved of the heavy responsibilities and cares which
he had borne for many years, people began to see the saint
emerging from the hero. I think that Dr. Merrick at least
showed capacity for sainthood in his earlier days. Under-
neath the Puritan exterior there was in him a predisposition
toward sweetness and light, a largeness of sympathy, and a
Fifty Years of History, 141
fullness of joy whicli characterizes the higher types of
Christianity. This second tendency in his nature led him,
on coming to Delaware, to organize at the Court House a
union prayer-meeting for the promotion of sympathy and
fellowship between the churches. He called on every min-
ister, and attended every church in the town, including the
Roman Catholic, and was to a large extent the creator of
that mental and spiritual hospitality which is a characteristic
of our city. While he was. an uncompromising foe of the
saloons, voting with the Prohibitionists from the first, no
man was a more tender friend to the saloon-keeper. He
made an annual visit to each one of these men, treating each
as a fellow-citizen, and talking with him about his plans for
time, and for eternity. As he made upon a saloon-keeper
some three years ago a call, which proved to be his last, he
told him that his strength was failing, and added, with
prophetic foresight : "I may not be able to call upon you
again, but I will pray for you so long as both of us shall
live." Every saloon-keeper in Delaware ought to have
closed his saloon on the day of this good man's funeral — and
never to have opened it again. No citizen in Delaware
made so many calls upon the poor. Faith Chapel in South
Delaware is due to him, and it may be his finest monument
in the sight of angels.
He displayed his love for others and his growing sense of
beauty by leaving the picturesque ravine lying north of his
house to the college and to the town. He crowned his bene-
factions by providing that his entire property — some twenty-
five thousand dollars — should go to the University for the
founding of a Lectureship upon Experimental and Practical
Religion.
I never knew his wife. But from the glimpses which he
gave of her character in his closer communings with his
142 Ohio Wesleyan University:
friends, I imagine that during the forty-seven years of their
married life she was a guide and an inspiration to him in the
richer experiences and in the graces of the Christian life.
His physical sufferings, also, and his sorrow at her death did
their providential work in helping transform the hero into
the saint. At any rate, he grew steadily and rapidly in
spiritual-mindedness and love until he became the St. John
of the city, and perhaps accomplished more during his last
ten years in transforming the characters of others, by the
sanctification of his own, than during any preceding period
in his history. He said little about holiness in the technical
sense of that term, but he lived a "life hid with Christ in
God," and became the best embodiment of the possibilities
of grace we have ever seen. Had an angel visited Delaware
and asked us to name our best man and our most useful
citizen, our people would have unanimously nominated
Frederick Merrick. He was the father of our college, as
Washington was the father of our country. His was not the
greatness of talent and achievement, like that of Napoleon or
of Caesar, but the greatness of goodness and of character,
like that of Lincoln and Alfred the Great.
I have thus dwelt at length upon dear Dr. Merrick's life
and character, first because I loved him ; second, because in
these years of toil and in the festivities of our Jubilee we are
in danger of forgetting our benefactors ; and, third, because
Drs. Thomson, and McCabe, and Merrick, and Williams
seem to me to be the founders of the College. The united
labor of Drs. Williams, McCabe, and Merrick, in connection
with one college for forty-nine years, is without a parallel in
the history of American schools, and, probably, of European
universities. The mystic circle is broken. May the apotheosis
of the departed one furnish an intimation of our appreciation
of the other two.
UNIVERSITY HALL AND GRAY CHAPEL.
The completion of this noble structure is a fitting monu-
ment to our first half-century. The chapel, the gift of Hon.
D. S. Gray, of Columbus, President of the Board of Trustees,
was erected in memory of -his father. At our request, the
following sketch has been prepared for this volume :
RKV. DAVID GRAY.
By Rev. Joseph Edward Stubbs, Ph.D., Class of '73, President of the
University of Nevada, Reno, Nev.
The Gray Chapel of the Ohio Wesleyan University is the
tribute of a grateful son to the memory of a noble and
honored father.
The life of David Gray, from its beginning to its close,
amid the vicissitudes of pioneer life and the active labors of
a minister of Jesus Christ, bore the stamp of a manly and
beautiful Christian character.
David Gray was born in Sussex County, Delaware, March
28th, 1800, the eldest son of Frazer and Elizabeth Lockwood
Gray. He was of English descent, the heir to an unstained
name, to pure blood, and a fine capacity. His parents were
poor; common schools were then unknown, and his early
education was limited. He started to school when seven
years of age, and attended a high school for a short time in
1817. Yet, with this meagre school equipment, he became a
man of sound learning and a preacher of great acceptability.
He was a careful student of a few books throughout his life-
time. The English Bible, Clarke's and Benson's Com-
mentaries, and Watson's Theological Institutes and Biblical
144 Ohio Wesleyan University:
Dictionary made up his working library. He was accus-
tomed to say : "I derived my literary education for the
pulpit from these books, but my spiritual qualifications,
which I deem most essential of all, I received from the Holy
Spirit." When he entered the ministry, in 1835, besides his
other studies, he commenced reading the Bible by course,
making it a rule to read the Old Testament through once
every year and the New Testament twice a year. This he
continued until 1882, when he left off reading the Old
Testament. Some time previous to his death, he had read
the Old Testament through forty-seven times, and the New
one hundred and fifteen times.
At the age of fourteen years, he went to sea with his half-
brother, James, and continued the sailor's life for three
years. When about seventeen years old, he commenced the
blacksmith trade with his half-brother, John, at Milton,
Delaware. Here he was converted, and joined the Method-
ist Episcopal Church in February, 1819. He was licensed
to exhort in the beginning of the year 1827, ^t Broad-Kiln-
Neck, Delaware.
David Gray was married at Broad-Kiln-Hundred, Septem-
ber 14th, 1820, to Naomi lyofland, eldest daughter of Luke
and Elizabeth Morris Lofland. To this wise and happy
union, David Gray was largely indebted for his usefulness
and success as a pioneer preacher. She administered the
household with economy and taste, and through all the hard-
ships incident to the life of an itinerant Methodist preacher,
she filled his home with the atmosphere of love and of devo-
tion to duty. She was as full of courage as of faith, and
eight out of her eleven children still live to do honor to her
memory. In 1829, David Gray moved with his family to
Ohio, making his home a short time at Zanesville, then at
Dresden, and a year afterward at West Carlisle. Here, in
Fifty Years of History. 145
1831, he was licensed as a local preacher. In 1832, he
moved to East Union, and went into partnership with John
Buxton at blacksmithing. During this period of sixteen
years, from the time of his conversion until he joined the
Ohio Conference, in 1835, he had been a highly useful
Christian man. He was ordained Deacon at Springfield,
Ohio, on the 23d day of August, 1835, ^Y Bishop James O.
Andrew, and he was ordained Elder on the loth day of Sep-
tember, 1837, at Detroit, Michigan, by Bishop Roberts.
He was admitted into the Ohio Conference in 1835, and his
active ministerial life lies between the years 1835 and 1865.
Most of the appointments in the earlier days were circuits,
and most of his circuit appointments were among the best.
In 1854, he was appointed Presiding Elder of the Maumee
District. At the close of his term as Presiding Elder, in 1859,
he located his family in a pleasant home at Findlay, and sub-
sequently filled appointments upon circuits adjoining Findlay
until the Conference of 1864, when he took a supernumerary
relation. In 1870, he took a superannuated relation. In
this relation to the Conference he continued until his death.
On April 3d, 1876, there came to the quiet Christian home
in Findlay, Ohio, a great sorrow. On that date, Naomi L.
Gray, who for fifty-six years had shared the trials and
labors of her husband, and had met her responsibilities as a
Christian wife and mother, passed to her eternal reward.
After the death of his wife, he continued to live with his
unmarried daughter, Eleanor, in the family home, until
October 24, 1887, when the saintly old man joined the
beloved wife of his youth and of his old age. He lacked
about five months of being eighty-eight years old.
As a minister of the gospel, he was not merely a sermon-
izer ; he was a good pastor and administrator, methodical as
well as pious. He looked after the material, as well as the
146 Ohio Wesleyan University :
spiritual welfare of the church, always encouraging love,
faith, and an open purse. When he entered the pulpit, he
preached the gospel of Christ, and not vapid discourses on
secular topics. Throughout the whole period of his connec-
tion with the Conference, his maximum salary was five hun-
dred dollars per year and a parsonage to live in. His
minimum was one hundred and ten dollars per year, out of
which he paid his house rent, and yet his fields of labor
embraced, with few exceptions, the best circuits. He was
well adapted, both in character and habit, for the position to
which he had been called. His judgment was good ; he was
-economical, and yet not stingy. The beggar was never
turned wantonly from his door. He was frugal by habit, and
Icnew by necessity and experience the value of every penny.
Though undemonstrative, his emotional nature was strong
and deep. It may be said that David Gray's most promi-
nent characteristics were a tenacity of purpose and ambition
to do well whatever he attempted. They may be noted when,
as a youth, he bravely accepted duty and encountered priva-
tions for the gospel's sake, and when, in a long and varied ex-
perience, there came bereavement and sorrow and darkness.
His victories, too, were many. Some of his richest triumphs
were in the evening of his life, in gentleness of spirit, in
the sweetness of a strong growth, in a decided character,
and in that abundant grace of God which enabled him in his
last days to enjoy delightful visions of the better land.
May the beautiful and spacious and holy Chapel which
commemorates the life and character of this father of the
Church be the abiding place of the Holy Spirit, and the place
of consecration for young men and young women for service
in home, in Church, in State, to the honor and glory of the
divine Son of God, to whom David Gray consecrated a long
and useful ministry.

8:00 P. M. — University Reception, at University Hall.
On the afternoon of Monday, June 18, 1894, an audience
filling Gray Chapel gathered to celebrate the "Jubilee." The
Mayor of the City of Delaware, Hon. H. L. Baker, was in the
chair. After prayer by the Rev. F. L. Wharton, D. D., pastor
of William Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Delaware,
Hon. John D. VanDeman, of the Class of '51, delivered the
following address of welcome :
ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
On behalf of the Trustees and Faculty of the O. W. U.,
I bid you welcome to this festival of the jubilee. I do not
know why I was selected to give you this welcome, unless it
be from my superior age and advantages. I am the only
surviving graduate, save one, who has resided continuously
under the shadow of the University since its foundation. I
saw the seed planted by the venerable Dr. Elliott. I have
seen it spring up and grow into a mighty tree, the branches
whereof fill the whole world. From the branches in China,
Japan, and the isles of the sea, from those in every village
and city of our land, and on the far-off shores of the Old
World, in the sunny South and frozen North, rich fruit has
150 Ohio Wesley an University:
been plucked or is now growing from the topmost branches,
in the bright sunlight of Heaven.
We could not have given you so royal a welcome a half-
century ago. We had then but one solitary building. Our
chapel was in a dining room, our society hall in a cellar, and
our study room in the garret. We began with a President
and two and a half professors, and tutors were unknown.
We were undisturbed by railroads, or telegraphs, or tele-
phones, or electricity, or gas, but we laid up our stores of
knowledge by the light of the good old ancestral candle.
The bottomless roads of Ohio had been made immortal by
the pen of Charles Dickens. We began with a small body
of students — thirty, less one, I believe — who took a pride in
the new University and loved their teachers, and we had
devoted teachers who loved us — two of whom, in the per-
sons of Drs. Williams and McCabe, their eyesight undimmed
and natural force unabated, are still here. Late may they
return to Heaven. Who shall measure or estimate the influ-
ence of their instruction ?
But the institution and its faculty and students were not a
collection of mossbacks or fossils, though we lived so long
ago. We were full abreast of or in advance of the times on
all great questions, moral and educational ; a little heterodox
sometimes in politics, may be. This was the first institution
on the continent, save one, to adopt, or at least practice, the
co-education of the sexes. I well remember, in November,
1844, in the class-room of Prof. Williams, there was formed a
class in Greek, of two pupils — a girl and a boy. The girl be-
came that princess among women who had the American inde-
pendence, as the first woman of the land, to declare and hold
fast her convictions of right. My great modesty prevents me
from telling you who that boy was. I can say for him, he was
always next to the head, and never fell below a good second.
Fifty Years of History. 151
We welcome to this festival those who went out, forty and
more years ago, as well as those who took their degree but a
twelvemonth since. The ranks of the early boys are thin-
ning fast ; many of them are grandsires now.
"When we remember all the friends so closely linked together,
We have seen around us fall like leaves in wintry weather,
We feel like one who stands alone, some banquet hall deserted.
Whose lights are fled, whose garlands dead, and all but he departed."
We welcome all the oldvboys who are left; we welcome
those who have had their collegiate birth since, that they
may take up the broken thread of memory, revisit the old
scenes and walks which were once so sacred, and that they
may rejoice with us in the magnificent growth of our Alma
Mater, the evidences of which are seen all around you. We
welcome to this festival that distinguished citizen and jurist
who became ours by adoption, and whom you will be
delighted to hear this afternoon.
We welcome to this festival the able divine of a sister
church, for you must know that our worthy President, when
he goes gunning for success, chains to his chariot wheel all
dissimilar, if not discordant, theologies.
We welcome to this festival those who seek to throw
around their boys and girls the restraining, Christianizing
influences of an institution founded upon, and in which has
ever been taught, that perfection of jurisprudence given by
God to Moses on the Mount, the first and crowning com-
mand of which is : ''I am the Ivord thy God ; thou shalt
have no other God but me."
We welcome to this festival the patrons and friends of the
University, who, in its darkest as well as its stmniest days,
have stood by it with unfaltering faith. We will ever con-
tinue to welcome the countless numbers of young men and
maidens who may come to these halls seeking a broader
152 Ohio Wesley mt University:
education and a clearer knowledge of their duties as citizens
in the days to come.
The patriot, Kossuth, when here, taking a cup of water
from our spring, said : "I will tell my people that out of the
Delaware spring of your sympathy I drink a health to the
success of my country." So may you all, from the same
spring of your sympathy, drink a health to the success and
prosperity of the Ohio Wesleyan University.
By action of the Trustees of the Ohio Wesleyan University, the alumni
of Augusta College have been adopted as alumni of this University.
Hon. Wm. T. McClintick, class '42, Augusta, and now
an honored Trustee of the Ohio Wesleyan University, deliv-
ered the following historical address :
'' OLD AUGUSTA."
When one has reached the reminiscent period of life, the
memory takes its revenge, and finds its compensation for its
lack of retentiveness as to recent events by recalling, with
increased interest and pleasure, the scenes of childhood,
youth, and early manhood.
The evening of life is apt to bring with it a mellow glow,
which tints remote events with a tone and color as enchant-
ing and beautiful as that which attends the evening of an
autumn day — that bewitching period,
" When all the past like shadows flit,
Like spirits move, before the eye ;
The friends we liked, the one we loved.
And the whole heart, is memory."
You may imagine, then, how pleasant a duty it must be,
though tinged with sadness to " the oldest adopted son of
the college," to tell who his mother was and how he became
an orphan, and to express on this auspicious occasion his ap-
Fifty Years of History, 153
preciation of the kindness of those who gave him shelter
and kindred and many friends. This story carries him back
to the happiest years of his youth passed at the Augusta
College, and associated in memory with the names of Presi-
dent Tomlinson, Professors McCown, Trimble, and Bascom,
all of whom were remarkable men ; and with the student
life of Francis Asbury Morris and Joseph A. Soule, sons of
two of the venerated bishops of the Church, now both fathers
and sons passed to their eternal rest ; and John Miley and
Randolph S. Foster, and others who yet live to occupy dis-
tinguished positions in the Church, and whose lives have
been marked by devotion to study ; to high, honorable, and
pious aims, resulting in lasting usefulness to mankind.
There was a time when the demands of a new country
and the necessities of the Methodist Church could only be
supplied by calling into service men lacking, indeed, in the
education of the schools, but impelled by a high and irre-
sistible sense of duty, and filled with zeal for saving the souls
of their fellow-men. The remarkable success, under Divine
guidance, had led many of them, and many of the laity also,
to believe that learning was unfriendly to religion, and that
Providence, in a literal sense, always chose " weak things to
confound the mighty." There were, however, both among
preachers and people, some who saw that intelligence was
essential as a safeguard both to religion and liberty ; that
you could no more make the highest type of Christian, or a
freeman, than you could a shoemaker, without education and
training. Such men's voices and labors were given earnest-
ly and constantly to the establishment of high schools and
colleges, in the belief that they might be made, to quote the
language of Dr. Durbin, " not only the nurseries of learning,
but also of morals and religion, and this without teaching
religion to the students, otherwise than as other men are
154 ^^^^ Wesley an University:
taught ; namely, by preaching to them the gospel of Christ,
and setting before them living examples of constant piety
and uprightness." Under the influence of such men, Au-
gusta College came into being.
It was, in point of time, the first institution of learning
under Methodist control that not only bore the name of
" college," with legal power to confer degrees, but also did
the work of a college, and conferred its degrees honestly and
worthily.
The movement for its establishment began with the Ohio
Conference in 182 1, when two commissioners, Rev. John
Collins and Rev. Martin Ruter, were appointed to visit the
Kentucky Conference, to propose a union of the two Con-
ferences in the establishment of an institution of learning
of a high order.
The fact that the State of Kentucky, as early as 1798, had
made a grant of 6,000 acres of land to aid in establishing an
academy at the village of Augusta, the county seat of Brack-
en County, Ky., on the south bank of the Ohio River, and
that this land (or the proceeds) was still held by trustees for
that purpose, invited attention to that place, and the com-
missioners representing the two Conferences met there in
December, 182 1, to confer with the Trustees of the Bracken
Academy Fund. An agreement was then reached making
that fund available to the proposed college, on terms con-
sistent with the purpose of its creation.
A preparatory classical school was begun in 1822, under
the patronage and control of the two Conferences, of which
Rev. John P. Finley was made the principal. He was a
Methodist, the son of a Presbyterian minister, and a brother
of Rev. James B. Finley, whose name and influence were so
largely known and felt in the early history of Methodism in
the West.
Fifty Years of History. 155
Before the close of that year (1822), the Legislature of
Kentucky incorporated " The Augusta College," with au-
thority to confer the usual degrees, this being then, as is
authoritatively stated, " the only Methodist college in the
world having such authority."
Among the laity, who deserve prominent notice in this
connection, must not be forgotten Captain James Armstrong,
a resident of Augusta, a trustee of the Bracken Academy,
and a member of the Methodist Church. He was the most
active man in securing the establishment of the college.
He it was who, with a few friends, undertook the erection of
the college edifice upon a lot of his own, and having com-
pleted it, made a conveyance of the grounds and building to
the trustees of the college, in October, 1823. ^^ ^^^ the
building occupied by the preparatory school ; but both he
and Finley, the head of the school, died, the one in August,
1824, and the other in May, 1825, before the collegiate de-
partment was put in operation. This occurred in 1825.
In September of that year, the Rev. Joseph S. Tomlinson,
just graduated from Transylvania University, at Lexington,
Kentucky, was appointed Professor of Mathematics and
Natural Philosophy, and became the temporary head of the
institution, and afterwards, by a regulation of the trustees,
as Professor of Mathematics, ex officio Vice-President.
A month later (October, 1825), R^v. John P. Durbin was
elected to the chair of Latin and Greek, and he, with Tom-
linson, organized the college classes. In 1827, Martin Ruter
was elected President of the college, and Professor of Ori-
ental Languages and Belles-Lettres, Frederick A. M. Davis,
M. D., Professor of Chemistry and Botany, and Arnold Trues-
dale, Preceptor in the Academy, with Thomas H. Lynch as
assistant.
The course of study adopted at that time embraced all
156 Ohio Wesleyan University:
the .branches of learning required by the American colleges
of that day, and was regarded as full and complete.
In 183 1, Dr. Durbin, without his solicitation or knowledge,
was elected chaplain to the Senate of the United States ;
and, at the end of that year, he tendered his resignation as
Professor in the college. He was succeeded by Rev. Burr
H. McCown, A. M., as Professor of Languages. At this
time, also, Henry B. Bascom was elected Professor of Moral
Science.
In 1832, Dr. Ruter resigned the Presidency, and Dr. Tom-
linson gave up the chair of Mathematics, was transferred to
that of Nattiral Science and Belles-Lettres, and again made
responsible for the duties of President.
Rev. J. H. Fielding, A. M., former President and Profess-
or in Madison College, at Uniontown, Pennsylvania, suc-
ceeded Tomlinson as Professor of Mathematics, which place
he retained until the Spring of 1835, when he resigned.
It was my fortune to be transferred as a student from the
Ohio University at Athens, Ohio, to the college at Augusta,
shortly after the resignation of Professor Fielding, in the
Spring of 1835. Dr. Trimble, in the Fall of that year, took
Professor Fielding's place ; and the college, fully equipped
with professors and teachers, entered upon a career of pros-
perity and popular favor. Dr. Tomlinson, the President,
was a man of extensive and varied learning and of great elo-
quence in speech ; Dr. Bascom was exceedingly attractive in
appearance, always faultlessly clad ; he stood erect, broad-
shouldered and tapering from shoulders to feet, with massive
head and face of classic mold ; eyes dark, yet radiant with
intelligence, even blazing in moments of enthusiasm, the
personification of manly beauty. At that time he had no
equal in America as a pulpit orator. His fame attracted
students from distant States, the sons of wealthv and am-
Fifty Years of History. 157
bilious parents, who were anxious to have them under his
care. Dr. Trimble was the son of a distinguished governor
of Ohio, exceedingly popular as a pulpit orator, and widely
known in his native State. Professor McGown was a most
capable teacher, amiable in disposition and attractive in
manner. The other teachers were competent, and the repu-
tation of the college for some years was highly creditable to
the Church whose patronage was pledged for its support.
Dr. Trimble left Augusta- in about 1840, the faculty other-
wise remaining about as it was, until 1841, when Morrison
College, the literary branch of Transylvania University, at
lycxington, was tendered to the Methodist Episcopal Church,
through the Kentucky Conference. Dr. Bascom was an ar-
dent advocate of acceptance ; Dr. Tomlinson as ardently op-
posed it, both before the committee to whom the matter was
referred, and before the Conference ; but the proposal was
carried almost unanimously. In the Fall of 1842, Dr. Bas-
com retired from Augusta, and accepted the Presidency of
Transylvania. McCown, Kemp, and Lynch, professors and
teachers at Augusta, went with him, and accepted similar
positions at Lexington. The opening at Lexington was
brilliant, and high hopes were entertained that Transylvania
would become the first institution of the South ; hopes des-
tined, however, to be soon dissipated.
About this period (1841-2), the Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
sity came into being under the joint control of the Ohio
and North Ohio Conferences, and was put in operation in
1844. By this time the anti-slavery controversy had become
intense and threatening. It culminated in 1844, so far as
the Methodist Episcopal Church was concerned, in the se-
cession of the Southern Conferences, and the establishment
of the Methodist Church, South.
Dr. Tomlinson continued faithful to Augusta. Herbert
158 Ohio Wesley an University:
M. Johnson, a graduate of Wesleyan College, at Middletown,
Connecticut, was appointed to one of the chairs made vacant
by the desertion of Bascom and McCown, and Rev. E. N.
Elliott was appointed to the chair of Mathematics. John-
son, in 1844, left Augusta for the Ohio Wesleyan University,
and Rev. Chandler Robbins took his place. Others, for
brief periods, filled the places of teachers ; but, with Tran-
sylvania on the one side, and the Ohio Wesleyan University
on the other, the one drawing off the students from the
South, and the other from the North, and the anti-slavery
controversy becoming constantly more and more a disturbing
and dividing element both in Church and State, the condition
of Augusta at the time is best described by the quaint lan-
guage of the common law indictment for murder, in which
the victim is said to have " languished, and languishing did
live," until 1847, when, under the influence of the angry
feeling of the times, the Kentucky Legislature repealed the
charter, the college was suspended, and became a thing of
the past. Its orphaned alumni were adopted by the Ohio
Wesleyan University, and taken in out of the cold ; but the
students at Augusta never have forgotten the happy walks
and shades of the quiet little village at the mouth of the
Bracken, on the banks of the Ohio, nor the grace and beauty
of its fair women, and the friendly association of the " fel-
lows " in the college ; and can never repay the debt of grati-
tude they owe to the professors and teachers of their dead
but always " beautiful mother."
How interesting it would be to sketch the lives of its il-
lustrious line of professors and teachers — Finley, Tomlinson,
Durbin, Ruter, Bascom, McCown, Fielding, Trimble, John-
son, Elliott — and others, and of its worthy and distinguished
sons, such as Christie, Kavanaugh, Groesback, Longworth,
Barrere, Marshall, and many others, of its earlier days ; and
Fifty Years of History. 159
later, of Carson, the two sons of Justice McLean, Thomas
M. Key, Francis A. Morris, Joseph A. Soule, John W. Weak-
ley, James Iv. Mathewson, John Miley, Randolph S. Foster,
the McDowells, Boring, Fee, Locke, Wadsworth, Phister,
and many others, who have adorned and honored, and given
force and direction to many of the departments of profes-
sional and business life ! But this grateful task is prohibited
by the limitations of this occasion.
As I have reviewed the events of my own life, brought
freshly to mind by recalling the history of the Augusta Col-
lege, I have been forcibly struck by three prominent re-
flections :
(i). The first is, that while I feel myself comparatively a
young man, yet my life, brief as it is, covers a personal ac-
quaintance with many of the pioneers of the West, who, as
preachers, educators, lawyers, or statesmen, did so much
toward the establishment of the religious, literary, and po-
litical institutions of this broad land, and laid so strongly
the foundations of the prosperity and happiness their chil-
dren have enjoyed. I have met personally all the persons
named as connected with the early history of Augusta Col-
lege, except Finley, Davis, and Fielding, and some of the
teachers in the preparatory school. In about the same pro-
portion I have seen personally the great men of that time,
both in Church and State, among them Bishops McKendree,
George, and Roberts, Nathan Bangs, the Watermans, and
many others, and Governors Tiffin, Worthington, Morrow,
and McArthur, and many of the early senators and great
lawyers. This personal knowledge was supplemented and
extended by many talks with my elders, and by the news-
papers which made their periodic entrance into my father's
house. Truly there were, or seemed to be, giants in those
days. The States they founded, the Churches they estab-
i6o Ohio Wesley an University:
lished, the schools and colleges they organized and endowed,
attest their greatness.
(2). Not less remarkable is the fact that so brief a life
should cover a period of such wonderful national progress
and territorial extension, of such vast changes in our polit-
ical and domestic institutions, and such a long series of the
most astonishing discoveries and inventions, all adding im-
mensely to the comforts and elegancies of civilized life.
Within this period, Texas separated from Mexico, and be-
came an independent republic, and, as such, subsequently
came into our Union ; the war with Mexico gave us Colo-
rado and New Mexico, Utah and Arizona, Nevada and Up-
per California ; and the purchase of Alaska gave us the far
Northwest. A sweep of population, wide as the rolling sea,
has spread over this vast area ; cities rivaling the largest in
the world have risen as if by miracle, by lake and river ;
and the deserts have become cultivated fields.
The separation of the Presbyterian Church into the Old
and New Schools, and their subsequent reunion ; the con-
troversy as to the constitution and government of the Meth-
odist Episcopal Church ; the secession of Snethen, Shinn,
Stockton, Springer, and other radical leaders, and the for-
mation of the Methodist Protestant Church; the great
Church disruption of 1844, which gave us the Methodist
Church, South ; the admission of laymen to representation
in the General Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal
Church ; the War of the Rebellion, and the abolition of
slavery ; the adoption of new State constitutions, and the
supersedure of the tedious methods of common law proced-
ure in the courts by the more simple and direct methods of
the civil law ; the emancipation of married women in the
matter of property rights ; the building and operation of the
first railroad in America, and the extension of like roads all
Fifty Years of History. i6i
over the land, so that our passage from place to place is
swifter than the flight of birds, and making it possible to
hold a World's Fair and a World's Congress of Religions in
the very heart of the continent ; the advent of the daguerre-
otype and photograph, the telegraph, the phonograph, the
telephone, and the other wondrous uses to which electricity
and magnetism have been applied in the arts and in all the
avocations of trade and domestic life ; all these, and more,
have sprung into being within a fraction of a life " whose
days are but as a hand-breadth." Ah ! my friends, what is it
knowledge can not achieve, and where are the limitations of
God's gracious favor ?
(3). The third forceful reflection emphasized by this pres-
ence is that most of the men who figured conspicuously dur-
ing the period to which I have referred, and indeed during
the history of the world, gave signs of greatness in youth
or early manhood, and achieved distinction long before
middle age. Of those I have named, Tomlinson, Durbin,
Ruter, Bascom, Trimble, Foster, and others, were preachers
in their boyhood, and drew admiring crowds to hear them.
The founders of our State were mostly young men, whose
ambition and courage drove them from older settlements to
seek fortune and fame amid the dangers and hardships of
border life. As we scan the pages of history from the days
of that gallant Hebrew youth who slew the huge, uncircum-
cized, and defiant Phillistine, in the Valley of Elah, down
to our own day, everywhere, on sea and land, the men of
brilliant performance gave promise of it in their youth. Not
that none others have risen or will rise to greatness — for
what is it that persistent eflbrt will not attain ? — but the
youthful Timothy is not the only one to whom Paul might
have said, '' Let no man despise thy youth ; " for youth holds
the germs of success, whether the pursuit be of wealth, or
1 62 Ohio Wesley an University:
place, or power, or the higher aims of patriotism and relig-
ion. But remember, young men and young women, first,
last, and all the time, the exhortation of Heinzelman : " Be,
and continue, poor, while others grow rich by fraud and dis-
loyalty ; be without place or power, while others beg their
way upward ; bear the pains of disappointed hopes, while
others gain the accomplishment of theirs by flattery ; forego
the gracious pressure of the hand, for which others cringe
and crawl. Wrap yourself in your own virtue, seek one sym-
pathizing friend, and your daily bread. If you, in such a
course, grow gray with unblemished honor, bless God, and
die."
The address of Dr. McCabe, delivered at this celebration,
appears elsewhere, while that by Doctor Williams has been
expanded into the Historical Sketch with which this volume
opens.
The Students' Semi-Centennial Celebration was held in
Gray Chapel on the evening of Monday, June i8th, 1894.
Mr. M. P. Shawkey, President of the class of '94, was in the
chair. After some words of welcome by Mr. J. F. McCon-
nell, class of '94, the address of the evening was delivered
by Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks, class of '72, of Indianapolis,
Indiana.
FORMER STUDENTS.
Mr. Chairman and Friends : I wish to congratulate the
undergraduates upon their loyalty to our great University,
and upon their progressiveness, as manifested by their
taking conspicuous part in the celebration of this Fiftieth
Anniversary. It is peculiarly fitting that the undergraduates
should be among the first to show their regard for the insti-
tution that holds in pleasing bondage the love and admira-
Fifty Years of History, 163
tion of those who knew it in its less prosperous days. Many
of us have returned to join with you in this happy, golden
jubilee, to renew old associations, to form new ones and to
express our sense of obligation for the benefits and the
pleasures we enjoyed here. Permit me to express my profound
acknowledgments to the committee of arrangements for
this agreeable assignment. I prefer to be in touch with the
young men and women in whose keeping the future honor,
and power, and glory of this University more especially
rests. There is something infectious in their enthusiasm ;
the trials and vexations of life have not inclined them to
become misanthropic ; they behold nothing but the splendid
bow of promise above them.
Former students cannot contemplate this scene without a
sense of sadness ; it is old, and still it is familiar to them.
Many faces that were known to them are absent ; some are
'midst new scenes, new cares, and some are gone forever.
But there are present the former joyous and happy numbers,
the same flowers, the same ambitions, the same walks, the
same benignant skies, the same fraternity, and society, and
class rivalries, and so it will ever be.
Fifty years have passed since the Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
sity sent Godman forth with her commission. Since then,
there have been over twelve thousand students and twenty-
two hundred graduates. They came from every walk of life,
and they have gone out into the uttermost parts of the earth.
The sun never sets upon students of this University, for
they belt the globe.
It may be impossible for the psychologist to discover any
distinctive mental characteristics of the students of this
University that distinguish them from their fellows; in other
words, it may be impossible to note any university-individu-
ality in our graduates. Yet it has seemed to me that there
164 Ohio Wesley an University:
has been a conspicuous absence of all tendency to aristoc-
racy. We have been essentially democratic. The way to
place and power has been impartially open to the rich and
the poor ; scholastic merit and individual worth have been
the only passports to distinction in the University. A whole-
some moral atmosphere has pervaded these halls, and the
great majority who have gone forth have gone mentally and
morally equipped for the highest and best duties of citizen-
ship. To specify all of the influences contributing to this
result were impossible ; books and men were the chief
agencies.
This University has been rich in conscientious, learned
instructors. Our elder graduates admired the great Thomson
— profound scholar, true teacher. His character was im-
pressed upon the earlier students, and upon the University
in its plastic days. He set the character of the latter in the
high plane where it has continued to the present hour.
We who passed the half-way mark to this jubilee under
the administration of Dr. Merrick, miss his sad and kindly
face. Great, yet the elements of his greatness elude our
touch ; well-rounded and complete in all the qualities that
make a great president, a noble and instructive example.
Dr. Payne, the famed orator, the alert champion of every
honorable cause, we have with us. The abundant fruit of
his good deeds is about us everywhere.
Who does not admire President Bashford ? He has made
captive the love of all former students who have studied and
marked his splendid administration. It augurs well for the
future that such a man shall lead us into the second half-
century of our career. If good wishes were coin, he were
richer than Croesus to-night.
Two names are now in every heart and on every lip ; like
golden bands, they join all administrations and all years to-
Fifty Years of History. 165
gether; their lives have gone into the University; the his-
tory of one cannot be written without the other; Omnis-
cience only can measure the limits of their influence upon
former students by their exalted lives and their splendid
scholarship. There is no graduate who is not a perpetual
debtor to these devoted men, McCabe and Williams.
And there are Professors Whitlock, Perkins and Semans,
who have toiled here for a third of a century with an ability
and fidelity that is treasured, in the grateful recollection of
thousands who have come and gone. Later came Nelson,
Grove, Davies, Parsons, Austin, Stevenson and many others,
learned and loyal sons and daughters of their alma mater.
Not all the former students have won victory, not all have
met defeat. The larger number have met life's demands
with a sturdy determination to succeed, to make the world
better. Most of them have been inspired by a lofty sense of
their duty to their fellows ; and they have risen not upon,
but with them. Many of them have become leaders, trusted
and tested ; they are at the front in the Church ; their names
are upon the honored rolls of the missionaries beneath every
sun. Thomson, Drees and LaFetra in South America, and
their numerous and equally worthy brethren, stand for splen-
did self-consecration to the well-being of others.
What pulpit has not felt the inspiration of some former
student? With what devotion many poor young men labored
here that they might qualify themselves to lead others to a
serener atmosphere ! We used to make merry with some of
our young aspirants for the cloth. I recall that once near
the close of the year, when the grass upon the campus had
been cut, that some jovial and irreverent students tied an un-
offending mule to the pulpit in the old chapel ; a month's
supply of hay was carried in. Our most reverend young
men felt that they could even then improve upon the pulpit.
1 66 Ohio Wesley an University:
One of the followers of Wesley, being twitted upon his new
colleague, frankly said there were some good points about
him ; in fact, he thought he could make himself heard.
Search the records of those that have presided and are
presiding in courts of justice, and you will find the names of
many who hold the commission of this University. Pro-
found and just judges ; all honor to them !
At the bar are many of our alumni sustaining the credit
of the institution by their ability, their strength and power.
We are not unmindful of our brethren who are conducting
great secular and religious journals with a genius that chal-
lenges the most generous admiration.
Visit many of our sister universities and public schools,
where rich scholarship and liberal mental endowment are in
request, and there you will find the students of the Ohio
Wesleyan University as presidents, professors and teachers.
Go into the great banking, mercantile and manufacturing
concerns of the country, and the old students are taking
rank with the foremost ; and, in short, search all the walks
and avenues of usefulness, and you will find some repre-
sentatives of the Ohio Wesleyan University who are honor-
ably discharging the full measure of their responsibility.
Our contributions have not been made to the more peace-
ful fields only for when the life of the government was in
peril, former students drew their swords in its defense and
won imperishable fame on the battlefields of the republic.
Many are the names we can recall with pride and exulta-
tion ; many stand out conspicuously, having achieved place
and power among our fellow men. Such we all delight to
honor. We may humbly claim to be joint sharers in the
glory they have won.
And what of the future ? While our past achievements
have been great, our future achievements shall be greater ;
Fifty Years of History. 167
as our numbers increase, our influence broadens. Our am-
bition is not satisfied, for it has caught but a glimpse of the
possibilities that lie in the boundless future.
During the great tragedy at Gettysburg, when the life of
the republic was the prize of battle, a color-bearer was struck
down, and then another and another, and courage was put
to the highest test. The colonel of the regiment called one
of his trusted men to him and said : '' Sergeant, take this
flag, bear it aloft, do not surrender it in dishonor, return
with it or report the reason why." The sergeant received
the colors, and marched against the pitiless hail of war. The
battle ceased ; the gallant sergeant did not surrender, and
he did not return, but God Almighty knew the reason why.
Take the flag of the Ohio Wesleyan University, bear it
unsullied and without dishonor, or report the reason why.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1894 — ALUMNI DAY.
The Alumni Semi-Centennial Celebration was held in
Gray Chapel, at 9 A. M., Hon. J. D. Vandeman, President
of the Alumnal Association, in the chair.
The first address of the day was to have been given by
Rev. Wm. D. Godman, D. D., class of '46, of Winsted, La.,
the first graduate of the University. Dr. Godman started
from his home in the far South to attend the Jubilee, but
was overtaken by sickness in Cincinnati, while en route. He
sent the following hurried note :
" It brings me great grief to relinquish the anticipated re-
union at the Jubilee. But an uncontrollable sickness dooms
me. I must content myself with the purely spiritual pres-
ence.
"The Alma Mater stands to-day exalted with a golden
crown of fifty glorious years. She has taken but a step in
her triumphal march to immortality. She is in the bloom of
1 68 Ohio Wesley an University :
youth. She will never grow old. The years will but add to
the freshness and charm of her growing vitality.
" Some institutions feed their infantes on the husks of an
antiquated philosophy called theology. When they have
become alumni, they have a sorry time of it, trying to
extract life from the dead stuff, or to impart a spark of life
to it. Others have become enamored of athletics, and seem
to have gone, clear over to the bats. Still others have
devoted themselves to natural sciences and to modern litera-
ture. This is commercial. It pays. But the beloved Alma
Mater hears the cry of sorrowing human hearts from all the
lands; by ministering regiments she sends the Bread of Life
to all the climes. She builds the eternal things. To her
sons and daughters is committed the best work given to
mortals. May they never grow weary !
''To his colleagues of the old faculty and to his brother
alumni, the first graduate bids adieu with a glorious hope.
With loving memories, W. D. Godman."
ALMA MATER.
By E. J. WheeIvER, a. M., Class '79, Editor of The Voice.
A mother smiled in pride,
As close about her knee.
In the glories of morning-tide.
Clustered her children three.
She told them wonderful tales
Of the sky, the earth, and the sea ;
The treasures of mountains and vales
She gathered for them to see.
She sang in melodious song
Of the golden deeds of men ;
Their hearts beat quick and strong
As they listened again and again.
k
Fifty Years of History. 169
Their pulses throbbed with desire
To dare and to do and to be,
While the morning sun rose higher,
And the brook babbled on to the sea.
The brook babbled on to the sea.
And called to them o'er and o'er;
With footsteps li^ht and free /
They sprang through the open door.
The mother smiled at their glee,
As she harked to their eager calls,
And she cried to the children three :
" Return ere the darkness falls ! " >
They wandered by diverse ways :
One roamed to the mountain-side ;
One entered the forest-maze ;
One sought the rolling tide.
They searched for a trophy meet.
In their journeyings far apart.
To lay at the mother's feet,
And gladden her loving heart.
The ways grew weary and long.
At times, to the resolute feet ;
Oft did the shadows throng,
And storm-clouds over them meet.
But the tales of the mother anew
Returned when the way seemed lone ;
They remembered that God is true ;
They knew that the sun still shone.
lyo Ohio Wesley an University:
The songs of the morning-tide
Abode in their hearts all day,
As the songs of the sea abide
In the heart of the shell alway.
Back to the home they came,
Bearing the trophies three,
And the mother, ever the same,
Gathered them 'round her knee.
A crystal was brought by one
From high on the mountain-side ;
"Behold what I have done !
I bring back fame ! " he cried.
A fragrant herb one brought.
Dug from its forest bed ;
"Behold what I have wrought !
For this is learning," he said.
The third bore in his hand,
From the shores of the restless sea,
Some grains of yellow sand ;
"I bring back wealth," said he.
The mother, as one impressed.
Took each of the trinkets three.
And said, indulging the jest :
" What wonderful things they be ! "
As soon o'er a weary world
The coverlid night was spread.
Three tired forms were curled
• At rest in a quiet bed.

And, lo ! as in sleep they lay,
The luster of crystal and sand
Departed, and withered away
The herb from the forest-land.
Dear mother of fifty years,
If the trophies we bring to thee.
Achieved amid doubts and fears.
Turn out mere baubles to be; —
If or ever the night befall.
Their luster and glory depart,
Yet we know that they, one and all.
Will be treasured within thy heart.
And we know that the purpose high
Fades not as the bauble it wins ;
That for it, in another sky,
Another morning begins.

Then speed, O little song^ of mine !
And on the wing grow heavenly sweet,
Till thou art lost in strains divine
That break in triumph at her feet.
And shall she know from out the West
The strength that rears the mountain pine,
The calm that rocks the storm to rest
Along yon sunset ocean line.
The secret of perpetual green,
The marvel of the buds that blow,
And where the purple clusters leave,
And how the golden apples grow.
So be her golden age the time
Of dawning strength and matchless youth,
To bring from out her century's prime
The earlier reign of right and truth.

Be wise her heart to rule her own !
Be true her sons to hail the day
When Faith and Science reign as one !
We praise her for the best we know,
We bless her for the good we keep
Of those who taught our youth to sow
What now our age doth surely reap.
We crown her heroes, those who knew
The burdens of an earlier time —
Great souls that touched our own, and drew
Our plodding steps to ways sublime.

Whether above our steadfast gaze,
Or lingering still to guard and guide
New feet in learning's pleasant ways.
O, Alma Mater, fare thee well !
The sun dips in our western sea.
And life is late, and who shall tell
How near the silent oarsman be?
About to die, we give thee hail !
We greet with joy the crowning years,
Nor mourn that " heart and flesh can fail,"
Since now thy day of glory nears.
Our daughters rise thee blest
No doubtful bar of rights to hold
Half of thine own from honor's quest.
Or shape this new life to the old.
Then read between these halting lines
The nobler things they cannot say ;
The faith that knows no changing signs !
The love that lives and grows alway !
THE GRADUATE IN PUBLIC LIFE.
By Hon, John W. Hoyt, Class of 1849, Ex-Governor of Wyoming.
Mr. President : In responding to your call, this morn-
ing, I am conscious of mingled and conflicting emotions.
For, while the occasion itself awakens the most delightful
recollections of those sunny days when, as a youth, I drank
at this then newly-opened fountain of learning, and here
gained such inspiration as was offered by the noble men who
174 Ohio Wesley an University:
presided over the institution and its several departments, on
the other hand, I am deeply saddened by the fact that most
of those who were my honored instructors and yours have
long since passed from this scene of their labors.
The brilliant, learned, and ever faithful Dr. Edward
Thomson, who first sat in the chair of administration, and
whom every student admired and loved ; the singularly
refined and reserved, yet very able and critical, as well as
zealous and beloved, Herman M. Johnson, Professor of
Ancient Languages, and Dr. Frederick Merrick, who, in
those times of limited means, so earnestly sought to cover
the whole vast field of Chemistry, Physics, and Natural
History, — all these are with us in spirit only, and in these
cherished portraits which look down from the walls about us.
But, again, we find ample ground for rejoicing in the
growing prosperity of the noble institution here founded,
fifty years ago, and in the continuance at their posts of two
of the most gifted, faithful, and efficient of the little band of
professors who began the work of instruction — the one so
widely distinguished, not only for the skill and success with
which he has conducted his classes for half a century, first in
mathematics, and finally in philosophy, but also for the
exceptional eloquence of his speech, and for his clearness,
cogency and power as an author, in dealing with some of the
highest problems that can interest the human mind ; the
other, a man no less distinguished for those qualities of the
mind and those graces of the spirit which have made his
very presence a source of inspiration, than for his zeal as a
teacher, and for those rare linguistic attainments which have
so greatly strengthened his department, and have also made
his published works authorities wherever known.*

After these words, I hardly need say that I am glad,
indeed, to be here, and to join with you all in this Semi-
centennial Jubilee.
But I have been asked to say something in particular con-
cerning ''The Graduate in Public Life." And what is the
significance of this phrase? Let us look at it for a few
moments.
In the more limited sense, the term Graduate means a
familiarity with at least the elements of all departments of
knowledge — certainly a good command, if not a mastery, of
one's native tongue ; a tolerable acquaintance with those
languages which open to one the wonderful treasures of the
Grecian and Roman civilizations, those precious, priceless
legacies bequeathed to all the world ; something of an intro-
duction to those modern foreign tongues so rich in the
resources of the literature, science, art, and philosophy pro-
duced by the Latin and Teutonic peoples ; a knowledge of
numbers, simple and applied ; an outline of the physical and
natural sciences, so rapidly growing day by day ; such key to
a knowledge of man's mental and moral constitution as may
be had by a study of the elements of psychology and ethics ;
a glimpse of literature and art criticism ; a simple outline of
the vast fields of sociology and political economy ; a general
survey of what man has done in all ages of the world.
Great, indeed, are even these limited attainments. But
the term Graduate means yet more. It stands for such love
of knowledge as will prompt to alertness for one's self and
to systematic study after leaving the college, as well as to an
earnest, practical sympathy with all who crave the possession
of knowledge.
In the largest sense, the term implies yet more — vastly
more, namely : the true Scholar^ with such culture as can
only come of an heroic and persistent effort in the many
176 Ohio Wesley an University :
fields just alluded to. It implies an ever-increasing love of
knowledge ; not such simple desire as sometimes passes for
love, but a real and enduring thirst that will not be satisfied ;
and not alone for a knowledge of things, but for a clear com-
prehension of the meaning of things, of those principles
governing the universe and man which lie in the Divine
Mind, and the possession of which makes one, in a high and
ennobling sense, like unto God in knowledge and power. It
implies a spirit in full harmony with the moral order of the
universe, and hence ever ready and anxious to do the will of
God. It implies such love of God, growing out of a knowl-
edge of his nature and purposes, as, being at once spon-
taneous, pure and earnest, is ever deepening, and ever
bringing the life more and more into harmony with His will.
It also implies such love of one's fellows as makes of them,
each and all, brethren, regardless of race, color or condition
in life — brethren to be sought out, informed, guided, devel-
oped, elevated, and brought into the Way of Life.
But I am to speak especially of the scholar in public life ;
by which is meant all those walks in life which have to do
with one's fellow men in their associate and corporate capaci-
ties— those walks in which one stands for, and, by agree-
ment, represents his fellows, whether in the humble affairs
of the country neighborhood, the village community, the
State, or the Nation.
The importance of this relation is to be inferred from the
many and varied interests of the community to be studied,
provided for, protected, and advanced.
What, then, are the great primary demands thus laid upon
those who assume or consent to direct in public affairs ? Are
they not these :
(i). The fullest possible knowledge of those represented —
of how to meet their felt wants, their real wants.
Fifty Years of History. 177
(2). A just regard for the sacred rights of others — a regard
so high and so sincere as to leave little room for self-
seeking ; a regard so profound, so all-controlling, that no
sacrifice could be deemed too great, if, indeed, necessary to
insure these rights.
(3). Consecration to the public good — such consecration as
that of the brave Leonidas and his handful of heroes, stand-
ing as a bulwark against the hosts of Persia, in the Straits of
Thermopylae ; such consecration as that of the mighty
Luther, giving himself to the vindication of what he con-
sidered truth, in the face of the fagot and the rack ; consecra-
tion like that of our patriot fathers in pledging their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honor to the cause of
American Independence.
Do not all these conditions make it manifest that the
practical scholar, with all his knowledge of men and things,
his love of truth as being sacred and divine, his sense of
unity with his fellow men, and his consequent yearning for
that freedom which is essential to their growth in knowledge,
power and virtue, his high consecration, therefore, to the
general weal, is, of all others, the man supremely bound to
make himself master of the situation by means of the largest
attainable informatiou concerning every field and phase of
the public welfare ? In other words, what so reasonable as
that the man of large attainments ; of such wisdom as comes
from a profound study of man and of men in all history ; of
comprehensive views, such as can only come of an acquaint-
ance with all sides of great questions, and with all the
elements involved; of that commandof himself which comes
of discipline and of self-subordination to the Divine Idea
within him ; finally, of those pure and lofty aspirations which
are given to those only whose souls are ever open to the
influx of the Divine ; — what so reasonable, I say, as that he
178 Ohio Wesleyan University:
who in a pre-eminent way stands for all these great
requisites, should be placed in the direction of public affairs ?
And how remarkably is this rational conception confirmed
by history ! There have been isolated cases in which, by
force of native genius, unaided by culture, men have wrought
wonders in the world's behalf, but general history, neverthe-
less, confirms the rational view.
This demand for knowledge and virtue in the high places
of public life, though but half uttered, is a most real demand
everywhere. It is also a growing demand. Nay, it is fast
becoming a crying demand, as every one must allow who
watches the proceedings of almost any of our State Legisla-
tures— nay, of the Congress of the United States, and of
legislative bodies in general throughout the world.
Again I say, the voice of Wisdom, the voice of Justice, the
voice of a divine Charity, each and all demand that the
precious interests of society shall be committed to the ablest,
truest, and best equipped of its numbers — demand, therefore,
that the best endowed shall be equipped, and that they who
have been equipped shall rise to the full measure of such
demand.
Woe to the scholars going into public life who do not
loyally meet this solemn demand ! Nay, woe to the colleges
and universities of this and every land if they do not so
instruct, discipline, direct and inspire those upon whom they
place the seal of their approval as worthily to fit them for
their great and solemn mission to their community, their
country, and the world !
At 12:30, on Wednesday, June 20, occurred the Alumni
Banquet in the old Thomson Chapel. Covers were laid for
four hundred, and the seats were all taken. After two hours
spent in feasting, James M. DeCamp, class of '67, of Cincin-
Fifty Years of History. 179
nati, as toastmaster, introduced the literary portion of the
programme.
" Hope writes the poetry of the boy, but memory that of
man." Fond recollection spans the five decades as with a
hand-breadth and it seems but yesterday when strange and
timid we stood in the shadow of these gray walls, first slaked
our thirst at yonder spring, first felt the awe of the mighty
seniors, and for four years lived in an enchanted realm where
every tradition was truth and every trivial fact, circumstance
and scrap of conversation was clothed in the purple vest-
ment of authority.
These grounds, these walls, breathe the sacred influences
of those who guided our ways and instructed our minds.
The very air is tremulous with the invisible but felt presence
of those who stamped their spirit on our lives.
We recall that paragon of dignity and grace, the first Pres-
ident, whose tones were sweetest music to our ears, the in-
comparable Thomson. We honor the memory of that sec-
ond President, " rich in saving common sense and in his sim-
plicity sublime;" the saintly Merrick, who literally poured
out his life and means for this University, denied offspring by
kind Heaven that this college might be the child and heir of
his love. We miss his venerable form, but we rejoice that he
lived to see the splendid University Hall, and then, like the
patriarch of old, " gathered up his feet and departed in peace."
Our college is noted for the consecrated scolarship of its
Faculty, for the unique and unparalleled circumstance of
having had a trinity of instructors, Merrick, McCabe and
Williams, throughout the whole of its history, concerning
which they can say '' a part of which I am, and all of which
I've seen."
Only less remarkable in continuous length of service is the
30-year record of Whitlock, Semans, and Perkins.
i8o Ohio Wesley an University :
Is it too much to say that these men, with their associates,
all under the guidance of that quaternion of leaders, Thom-
son, Merrick, Payne and Bashford, have made this college
what she is ?
Our College is notable in having made a success of co-
education. It is now quite 17 years since the marriage of
the two institutions, and "what God hath joined together, let
no man put asunder."
Our University is in line with the modern methods of elect-
ive courses fitting the student for his specialty in life, and it
encourages reasonable athletics, but declines to follow the
lead of those colleges which favor optional prayers and com-
pulsory base-ball.
Our University is not here alone in these material build-
ings and apparatus, but it lives in the lives of its graduates.
We are constantly representing the University by our daily
thinking and doing. Her influence is felt in the far-off Orient,
in the plateaus of South America, where Thomson, Drees
and La Fetra, Scott, Sites, Lowry, Davis and others are elo-
quent and faithful exponents of the principles imbibed here.
She speaks from the graves of the Union soldier, where on
southern battle-fields Clason, Buchwalter, Andrews and
others offered up their scholarly lives that the Union might
live.
The beauty and significance of this day is that we meet
on a common level, sons and daughters of the same mother,
and are therefore equal in her eyes. Our personal successes
or failures, our titles and degrees, or lack of them, are not re-
garded. Whatever our distinctions in the public eye, the
only question our mother asks is this, " Has our education
made us better men and women ? Is the world happier for
our living ? Are we nearer God in spirit and purpose than
ten, thirty, fifty years ago?" Has our education made us
Fifty Years of History. i8i
tender and truthful, sympathetic and helpful ? Have we
developed nobility of soul and that refinement and '' good
taste which is the conscience of the mind, and that con-
science which is the good taste of the soul?" If so, then
indeed is our mother proud of us, for I take it that character
building is the ultimate aim of all culture worthy of the
name.
President Bashford is right ethically and religiously when
he carves on the foundation of University Hall, " Christ the
chief corner-stone."
Our past is luminous with the golden sacrifices of illus-
trious men.
Our future is assured and expanding under the wise and
lovable leadership of this gentle giant ( Bashford.)
Our mother's face is lit with the dawning splendors of the
twentieth century. O mother, we salute thee. On thy brow
we print the kiss of reverent affection.
THE GRADUATE IN BUSINESS.
W11.SON M. Day, Class of '71, Cleveland.
Has the college graduate any business to be in business?
The theme assigned me affirms ; Mr. Andrew Carnegie de-
nies. It must be admitted that Mr. Carnegie speaks with
recognized authority on some subjects, and with assumed
authority on a great many others. When Mr. Carnegie ven-
tures an opinion on trusts, we listen, for undoubtedly he
knows what he is talking about. When he discourses on
wages in Pittsburgh, and castles in Scotland, and newspaper
syndicates in England, and money-making in general, we
give him due deference. Shall we accept his ipse dixit on
the college graduate? Let us see : '^The total absence of
the college graduate in every department of affairs should
be deeply weighed," says Mr. Carnegie. " I have inquired
1 82 Ohio Wesley an University:
and searched everywhere, in all quarters, but find scarcely a
trace of him. Nor is this surprising. The prize-takers have
too many years the start of the graduate ; they have entered
the race invariably in their teens — in the most valuable of
all their years for learning anything — from 14 to 20. While
the college student has been learning a little about the bar-
barous and petty quarrels of the far-distant past, or trying
to master languages which are dead, such knowledge as
seems for life upon another planet than this as far as bus-
iness aifairs are concerned, the future captain of industry is
hotly engaged in the school of experience, obtaining the
very knowledge required for his future triumphs. I do not
speak of the effect of college education upon the young man
training for the learned professions ; but the almost total ab-
sence of the graduate from high position in the business
world seems to justify the conclusion that college education
as it exists is fatal to success in that domain. The graduate
has not the slightest chance, entering at 20, against the boy
who swept the office, or who begins as shipping clerk at 14.
The facts prove this."
Summed up, then, there are three counts to his indict-
ment:
First. The college graduate is not in business.
Second. His college training positively unfits him for
business.
Third. He is not wanted in business.
Undoubtedly, Mr. Carnegie has the popular side of the ar-
gument. Every office boy in the land will loudly applaud
him. Every humorous paper will back him up with the in-
evitable cartoon in which the average college graduate is de-
picted as a young man with a predisposition towards high
collars, an abnormal development of biceps and a constitu-
tional aversion to hard work, not knowing a sight draft from
Fifty Years of History. 183
a monthly statement, or a balance sheet from a bill of lading.
Every illiterate millionaire, raised suddenly to a position in
community where his lack of all that goes to make a great
man renders him an object of ridicule or of pity, will find
solace in the Carnegian theory. But what are the facts?
First. Is the college graduate an unknown quantity in
the business world ? Let this congenial company, presided
over by one of Ohio's most enterprising and successful bus-
iness men, give answer. Alongside the name of a DeCamp,
place that of a Mast, a Wright, a Hamilton, a Fairbanks, a
Hitt, an Elbert, and a Pattison — all sons of Ohio Wesleyan
who have won distinction in the world of affairs. Broaden-
ing our view, can we not name in the communities which
we represent a score or more of the leading men of business
who are college graduates ? Even under the eaves of Mr.
Carnegie's mills in Pittsburgh and among his business asso-
ciates in New York, are many college men whose names are
a tower of strength in the financial world. A recent list of
65 famous New Yorkers who owe no small part of their bus-
iness success to their college training includes such names
as ChaunceyM. Depew, Charles Francis Adams, Austin Cor-
bin, and several other presidents of railroads, 18 bankers,
10 merchants, including Alexander T. Stewart and John
Jacob Astor, 7 heads of prominent trust and insurance com-
panies, and five heads of leading publishing houses. Surely,
Mr. Carnegie must have been searching with his eyes shut
when he reached the conclusion that the college graduate is
not to be found among successful business men.
Second. Is it true that a college training is fatal to suc-
cess in business ? Let a few college men of business answer.
Says President Low, of Columbia College (who has been
himself a business man) : " While it is harder for a college
graduate to get started in business than for one who enters it
184 Ohio Wesley an University :
as a boy, in five years from the time he does start, other
things being equal, the college graduate will be the peer in
business of his friend who began as a boy, and while equally
successful in business, he will fill a much larger place in the
community than the one-sided man can ever hope to fill."
Hear next the testimony of James W. Alexander, a Prince-
ton graduate and vice-president of the Equitable Life So-
ciety of New York : " However it my be with the boy whose
talents, temperament and environments are such as to limit
his prospects and ambition to a life of physical labor in a
subordinate capacity, who can doubt that the boy who has
within him the germ of some future master in affairs will be
all the more of a leader by reason of a thorough college
education and even that he will outstrip in the mere matter
of time the boy whose only training was sweeping the shop
or adding up columns of figures at the desk." Mr. Charles
L. Colby, a graduate of Brown University and President of
the Wisconsin Central Railroad, says this : "I earnestly be-
lieve that if two men of equal ability start together in the
race, one an educated man and the other without a college
training, the college man will win every time in the long
run." General Brayton Ives adds this testimony: " All the
progress I have made in civil life, including my present
occupation — banking — is directly traceable to the special
advantages afforded by my education." Finally I quote
from the distinguished president of the New York Central,
Railroad, Chauncey M. Depew, a Yale graduate : " The col-
lege-bred man, under equal conditions of capacity and
health, has a trained intellect, a disciplined mind, a store
of information, and breadth of grasp, with the fearlessness
which it entails, that enables him to catch up with and pass
his rival. Hundreds of college graduates within the last
five years have begun in the various departments of railway
Fifty Years of History. 185
work at the bottom. They are firing on the locomotives,
working in the machine shops, switching in the yards, keep-
ing books in the treasurer's office, serving in the freight and
passenger departments, and my observation of them for
this period has demonstrated the value of a college educa-
tion."
Third. Is the college graduate wanted in business? I
am firmly convinced that, whether welcomed or not, he is
absolutely needed. Machinery and methods are constantly
changing. Business is now conducted on a large scale.
Stupendous transactions, in trained hands, are as easily con-
summated as were formerly the petty operations of a local and
limited business. What the business world of to-day wants
is not the one-sided man who is slow to comprehend and
introduce larger methods, but the man of quick and com-
prehensive thought, of wide grasp, of easy adaptation, of ab-
solute fearlessness born of complete self-mastery. What
the community at large wants is a man who can lead in all
important measures for the public weal ; who can frame a
resolution or plead a cause without resorting to the aid of
his chief clerk or his legal counsel ; who aspires to fill a
large place in a community and not be known simply as
a money-grubber ; who is not the man of an affair but the
man of affairs. This, I apprehend, is the high privilege,
the rare opportunity, before every young collegian whose
face is set towards a business career. May this great insti-
tution of learning, crowned with its fifty years of glorious
history, grasp the import of this call. May it none the less
continue to fill the ranks of the ministry, medicine, and the
law, but more and more may it send out into the world of
business young men of thorough discipline, of lofty and
sensible ideals, and of broadest conceptions of a universal
brotherhood.

THE GRADUATE IN SCIENCE.
Professor A. E. Doi^bear, Ph. D., Class of '66, Tufts College, Mass.
Mr. Chairman, Brethren Alumni, Ladies and Gen-
tlemen : I was pleased to receive from President Bashford
an invitation to be present at this banquet, not because I
was anxious to speak on the occasion, but because it gave
me an added reason for coming to Delaware, and to this in-
stitution, which I so much love. But President Bashford
invited me to speak about Science and the Alumni for ten
minutes, and I consented.
My obligations to this institution are so great, and in so
many ways, that I feel as if I could not express them, nor
do too much to repay them, and I most heartily wish that that
million dollars, which we were told on Monday the Univer-
sity needed, could at once be raised. It set me thinking
how it might be done in this way : Let all the Alumni pay
their just debts. The tuition in most institutions in the
country is one or two hundred dollars a year, yet here
many of us paid hardly anything. I think my scholar-
ship cost me five dollars. I owe, then, not less than four hun-
dred dollars, and with interest twice that. Dr. Nelson told us
there were over 1,300 graduates, not counting the women ; and
if each of us were to pay a fair tuition now, it would bring at
once into the treasury of the college the sum of 400 x 1,300=
$520,000, and if we allow interest, we should have nearly
three-quarters of a million. If the women were to do like-
wise, the full million would be raised.
I walk about the campus and think of the days gone by.
I rub my back against the walls of the buildings, and the
trees and walks speak to me what others cannot understand,
and I live again for a short interval in the days of thirty
years ago. I especially remember with gratitude the oppor-
Fifty Years of History, 187
tunities of the literary societies, with their debates, essays
and so on, and if I were to live again through the period of
a college education, I would devote more time and painstak-
ing to such work. In spite of what Dr. McCabe has said,
there is no accomplishment so useful everywhere and
always as to be able to stand on one's own feet and
speak in an interesting and instructive way. I did not do
as much of that work as I should have done, but oh — I may
say the same thing of almost every study I had.
Two thousand years ago, or so, if a man wanted to know
anything, he drew on his seven league boots and went over
to Africa, or to Babylon, in order to find a man who could
tell him, but nowadays science has changed all that. See
what has happened within the past fifty years ! In Locksley
Hall, Tennyson wrote more than fifty years ago,
" Science moves but slowly, slowly,
Creepiug on from point to point."
And that was true, and had been true for all time up to
then, but a new era then began. The telegraph was then in
early infancy, and all the economic uses of electricity were then
unknown. That grand generalization of science, conservation
of energy, had not yet been discovered, and it has quite
transformed all our thinking. Every science has been made
over, and many new ones have been added that had no ex-
istence until our era. Do we not have the new Astronomy,
the new Chemistry, the new Physics, the new Physiology,
the new Psychology ? The list of sciences goes through the
alphabet — Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Dynamics, Ener-
gy, Force, Geology, Heat, and so on, from A to Izzard.
When the class of '66 was in college, we heard nothing
about Evolution, or Thermo Dynamics, but neither were
they heard of in other colleges. I have some knowledge of
how things were taught in other more pretentious institu-
1 88 Ohio Wesley an University:
tions than the Ohio Wesleyan University in those days, and
it is my opinion that I got as much, and as good, here, as I
could have got anywhere in the country, for the most of
what was taught as science in other institutions has been
abandoned as inconsequential, or radically wrong. It is
right for an educational institution to go slow, and there is
not a little of what to-day is dubbed evolution which is cer-
tain to become as obsolete as the philosophy of the impon-
derables has become.
But science has really brought to us a new heaven and a
new earth, tho' not the one wherein yet dwelleth righteous-
ness, and the rate at which knowledge has lately grown
shows the danger of reasoning from the past to the future
without allowing a wide margin. As I have said, the rate
of the growth of knowledge during the past fifty years is il-
lustrated by a mechanical principle called acceleration, as
distinguished from uniformity. Bishop Foster drew his con-
clusion as to the hopefulness for the growth of Christianity,
from the assumption of uniformity, but so far as there is any
analogy between mechanics and religion, one may just as
well assume acceleration as uniformity, and if we do that, the
case is not so deplorable as the Bishop's figures would indi-
cate. A century plant may stand for years and appear not
to make any gain, but suddenly its rate of growth changes
and a greater development may take place in one day than
was observed in years before, which shows that though the
plant was externally the same year after year, yet the mole-
cules were ripening. It has been so in science, and there is
no reason I know of why it should not be the same in other
human afi^airs.
But science has been chided for what it has not done.
Some lugubrious poet has written.
Fifty Years of History. 189
" O Science, hast thou wandered there
To bring us naught but tidings of despair ? "
Well, what was it expected to bring back ? It has traveled
but a short time and on a new road. But what did it go out
to find ? The deity ! Verily if the deity is not to be found in
a mountain, is it to be discovered in a molecule ? And if
one does not discover it in either, is he to be scolded ? Some
adventurous ones have crossed the first morass and climbed
the delectable mountains fieyond, and have had a glimpse
of things afar off, and oh, the value of a glimpse — sim-
ply a glimpse ! A glimpse may be so new and brief and
surprising, that one cannot tell what he has seen. He can
stand no sort of an examination upon it, would make an ab-
solute flunk, and yet after the vision his whole life may be
transformed. And here is one of the possible advantages of
a college course to every one. It gives him the possibility
of glimpses which are invaluable, though there is no test by
which an institution can discover that one has not had a
transforining glimpse. I have never known of a college
graduate who regretted his opportunity, but I have known
many who regretted wasting their opportunity, and many
who have wished they had paid more attention to Science.
It is fast changing our modes of living and thinking, and
institutions of learning must keep up with advancing
knowledge. And now I am sure my time is up, though I
should be pleased to speak at length on what Science has
done for mankind, for this has been vast, though so recent,
and much more is to be expected. Might I close by quoting,
with a slight change, Tennyson's oft-quoted lines,
" Let knowledge grow from more to more,
And more of Science in us dwell."

THE GRADUATE IN LAW.
Hon. Henry C. Hedges, Class of '50, Mansfield.
[Mr. Hedges was detained at the last moment by professional business. He sent the
following note of apology and regret.]
Were it my privilege to be present and make a brief re-
sponse to the sentiment, " The Graduate in Law," I might
stumble very much in the effort to tell you all, my brothers
of the O. W. U., how bright was the prospect in 1850, when
with my parchments I came away from the. then young Uni-
versity, believing myself to be an " A. B.," and the prospect
had not dimmed when on the suggestion of Dr. McCabe
three years later I transmitted a " V " and in return was
decorated and adorned by receiving another parchment des-
ignating me as a Master of Liberal Arts, and it may be well
for me if the arrow be not sped, and the words be not spoken,
for, thereby I may save my reputation and yet be considered
capable of thought and expression, for I feel an assurance
that if in the body present with you, the sombre side of life
would quickly obscure the brighter, in any talk I might
make.
When I bade good-bye to Delaware in 1850, it was my pur-
pose to engage in teaching ; in fact, through the kindly office
of Blmore Yocum, well known in all the homes of North-
ern Ohio as a preacher of power and a man of great worth,
but who shortly prior to 1850 removed to Wisconsin and
there was welcomed, and was highly regarded by the '' Badg-
ers " of Wisconsin as he had been by the " Buckeyes " of
Ohio, an engagement had been made by which I was to take
charge of an Academy at Janesville, Wis. I had no thought
that I ever would have an ambition to enter the legal pro-
fession.
I was young, and the law of the land declared I owed fil-
Fifty Years of History. 191
ial obedience to my loved and honored father, and on my
arrival home, when I informed my parents of my purpose to
go to the wilds of Wisconsin, I was met with a persuasive
refusal, and so my lot was cast in the home, in the little city
of my nativity, among the fond friends of my boyhood ; and
entering the law office of my father's friend, the late Charles
T. Sherman, and his brother, John Sherman, my course in
life was deflected, and reaching my majority in time entered
on the practice of the law, associated with my preceptors,
and so have been a plodder in my profession, gaining no sig-
nal victories, and making slight mark in the march of time.
I would not have my brothers believe that I do not great-
ly regard the dignity of my profession. None other is more
honorable in itself or more helpful to the weary sons and
daughters of men. If he who enters it properly appreciates
his responsibilities, he will magnify his calling.
It is not the province of the lawyer to stir up strife among
neighbors, or ever to sever marital relations save under the
conditions of the Mosaic code. It is his highest duty, his
great glory to cool and calm heads and hearts heated by
passion, to save, not waste the increments of toil, preserve,
not dissipate and scatter the accumulations of men, fortify
and not loosen the obligations of laws human and divine,
— in brief, both to counsel and do right and fear not. And
his greatest glory if it is given him to protect the virtue of
woman, the reputation of the innocent reviled, and to estab-
lish the rights of the weak as against the wrongs of the
wicked.
Let me recount the men of my day, who, bidding their
*' beautiful mother " farewell, entered the lists, and gained
glory as great lawyers — looking at the classes of '46 and '47,
the preacher and the teacher. Dr. Godman and Dr. McFar-
land, in their lines of life gained distinction. The members
192 Ohio Wesley an University:
of the classes of '48 and '49 were all my familiar friends,
though all my seniors in age. Through the receding years
I see as clearly now as in '47-48-49 the faces and forms of
Jeddiah Allen, Homer McKendree Carper, Guovion Goldson
Griswold, Clinton Wayne Lee, Oliver Morris Spencer, James
D. and Joseph T. Webb, and Samuel W. Williams, of '48;
and George W. Brush, L. J. Critchfield, Henry J. Eaton,
Benjamin Glasscock, Asa H. Guy, John W. Hoyt, Lewis W.
Little, Edwin A. Parrott and Joseph Henry VanDeman, of
'49. Some entered the ministry, some the profession of the
healing art, some mounted the tripod of the journalist,
some sat in the chair of the professor, and two, possibly
more, gained wealth in trade and manufacturing and mer-
cantile life ; but Carper of '48 and Critchfield of '49, the law,
and Ohio recognizes in each a masterly man, mastering his
profession, and among the few in Ohio or elsewhere who
stand on the upper round of the ladder, at the very top.
Of all these, my chosen companion was Lewis W. Little,
a genial spirit ; but more than a quarter of a century
ago, when life was young and hope was bright, he passed
into the shadows, and earlier than he, Clinton Wayne Lee,
a most cultivated Christian gentleman, even before the years
of his greatest usefulness had come, mounted to the skies.
Coming to my own class of 1850, it was less in number than
the two preceding it. Its roll I call : W. Blanton Chrisler,
George W. Harris, John F. Hume, Owen T. Reeves, and
youngest and least, Henry Clay Hedges. Chrisler and Har-
ris were missionaries of the Cross, great and good men.
Harris was my especial friend. I was his best man when he
took unto himself a wife. He died in 1862, but lived long
enough, if his years be measured by the good he did. Chris-
ler was from the South, of Southern birth, a Mississippian,
not a " fire-eater," went back to his home, taught, preached.
Fifty Years of History. 193
then married a Western girl and gave offense to the chivalry
of the South ; discarded by his parents, disinherited by his
father, his noblest heritage was the love of his wife, and the
memories of the better civilization of the Northland, where
men were free, black or white. And so it happened when the
weak, wanton, wicked rebellion was on, Chrisler became a
chaplain in the Union army, and thereafter, as the revered
minister, the honored, gallant Moody did, buckled on his
sword as Lieutenant Colonel of his regiment, and with
Moody, and like Moody, fought for freedom and gained the
victory.
Hume — a quiet man in college, a good thinker, a splendid
writer, a fair lawyer, served Ohio as a legislator, later was a
distinguished editor in Missouri, and later still, with wealth
and wisdom gathered, is living on the banks of the classic
Hudson, enjoying "Otium, cum dignitate in senectute." The
last time I met him was in a national convention, that of
1864 in Baltimore, a delegate from Missouri, when he and I,
one from Missouri, one from Ohio, of the class of '50, did
something to make it possible for the immortal Lincoln for a
second time to become the successor of Washington.
Then Owen Reeves, teacher, sometime preacher, then
lawyer, sits on the bench at Bloomington, 111., and has long
adorned, as David Davis before Reeves, honored the same
bench. Of my class was one other up to the time of our
final examinations ; the gleesomeness of youth, and the glad-
ness of the approaching Commencement, afforded some oc-
casion for the postponement of the delivery of his sheepskin,
until '51. His name stands at the head of 1851, James Hea-
ton Baker, a " son of thunder " of varied gifts, of great ac-
complishments, lawyer, editor. Secretary of State, in turn, in
two States, Ohio and Minnesota, soldier. Commissioner of
Pensions under Grant, Surveyor General of Minnesota, a man

of resources, a man of methods, a master of men, a sweet
singer, a graceful talker, a good friend. But I must not tres-
pass; I might follow the fortunes of the classes of '51 and
'52 and '53; I knew them all, knew them well; in each were
presidents and professors of colleges, preachers, teachers,
doctors and lawyers. Of 1853 was one my boon friend, he
who was afterward Dr. Milton Mitchell, the playmate of my
childhood, the companion of my young manhood, the friend
of all my years. His was so white a soul that early in his
life, it may be, I think it was so, the angels needed his com-
panionship, and so on April 7th, 1864, God crowned him.
THE GRADUATE IN JOURNALISM.
Arthur Edwards, M. A., D. D., Class '58, Editor Northwestern Christian
Advocate.
The physical man is born. The graduate is trained, or
supposed to be. Brains are inherited, and " education "
'' brings out " that which was already in the child's curly
head when he was lord of the cradle and of his mother's
heart. Colleges which train the moral as well as the mental
can do more for a young man's heart sometimes than for his
head. In schools where religion thrives, conversions actu-
ally revolutionize and reorganize human hearts, and plant
truth where perhaps truth had not been. I am not aware of
any Scripture that warrants prayer for new heads and an in-
crease of brains. The college undertakes only to train and
make the most of that which a boy brings with him from
home, though indeed a consecrated and devoted head im-
mediately begins to outwork and outrun the one that rebels
against truth and loyalty. Trained brains dominate the
world, whether in journalism or elsewhere. The central
figure in American newspaperdom still is Horace Greeley.
In another degree and in a varying moral sphere was James
Fifty Years of History. 195
Gordon Bennett. Neither was a " graduate," but both were
trained. While the best way, perhaps, the process implied
in ''graduating" is certainly but one way for training. Col-
lege-life teaches the use of tools; and the graduate, other
things being equal, is worth more than he was, even if you
could conceive that he does not carry out of a college a sin-
gle fact or one item of specific information. He has been
" trained " and taught how to work.
The ideal editor certainly" needs training. He must have
been taught to be willing to work, to work gemdftely^ to work
economically, to work in harmony with others, to work when
work is hard, and to continue to work after the six-o'clock
bells of the world have released the multitudes, who for
hours may have waited for the six-o'clock permission to rest.
The old saying is :
" Man works from sun to sun ;
Woman's work is never done."
No man more than the journalist should become a
woman in honest devotion, and in his love to labor on
while others dream. In human competitions, he who suc-
ceeds, first distinguishes himself from others after six-o'clock
bells have rung, and his alleged competitors have apparent-
ly abandoned the race. ' If one would identify his real and
most dangerous rivals in life's race, he must listen to the
sounds of post-six-o'clock hammers, and note the glimmer
of study-lamps that forget to go out.
I do not mean that a man must work himself to death, or
has a right to do so. The best workers know how to recreate
themselves ; and if a man knows not how to play, he may
yet be rested even while he labors. We sometimes wonder
why hearts do not burst when woeful seas of trouble roll
over them, and God is not their refuge. I often wonder
likewise why men do not fall lifeless amid their labors when
196 Ohio Wesley an University :
they love not work, and do not get rested by their work, and
during their work, through the high supporting motives
that immortalize strength and vigor. We never hear of
tired angels or fatigued seraphim. He who as an editor re-
cords the daily pilgrimages, sorrows, crimes, catastrophes,
and hopes, victories, and glories of humanity, certainly
ought to be fortified, rested in advance, and made almost
literally indefatigable, through his love for men and faith in
the Divine Lover of men. I believe in a " call to preach."
Presently all good men and women will be called to all work.
Perhaps they now are. God pity the poor fellow who has
merely blundered into his life-work ! Of course, then, I
hold that a man may be called to editing, far and above the
fact that he gets a General Conference majority — to give a
Methodist illustration. I hold, too, that a call to preach in-
cludes the call to prepare to preach. An editorial call to
edit, whether a secular or religious paper — for in this I be-
lieve in the priesthood of the people — includes the item of
preparation to edit.
As to preparation — let me say that I am amused by alleged
"schools of journalism." Somebody advertises those schemes
who want a "job." I am fogy enough to hold that before
" graduation," there should be no schools for any profession,
trades, or callings. We are hurrying and overdoing the
" elective " theory. He who enters for the race in law, med-
icine, or theology, should graduate about as he would if he
proposed to enter no particular profession. He should study
and plan simply for that day of days in student-life known
as " Commencement." Passing that, he may well begin to
specify and specialize in study, even though he may have
moderately courted his real calling right up to his profes-
sional wedding-day. If journalism is chosen, I should not
be unhappy if my graduated young friend should give him-
• Fifty Years of History, 197
self for a year or two to law and history of law and econom-
ics to aid him in secular-paper work, or to theology if for
Church-paper work. Be that as it may, I hold to the gen-
eral college training that helps a man to be a disciple as to
his work and a brother to all workers. I know of no better
kind of technical ante-graduate training than to prepare the
soil for whatever training may point more directly to news-
paper-office work after graduating.
Being trained, and having chosen, and having begun, the
next step is to " stick to ity Why should a man vibrate
from pulpit to teacher's chair, or from both to church edit-
ing, or from either or more of the four to some other form
of secular or church labor? Time modifies Methodist itin-
erancies ; why should it not modify also the wanderings of
our itinerants ? Methodist education began to see daylight
and a channel to deep water when teaching became special-
ized, and teachers were professionalized and called blessed.
I am more than ever convinced that no bishopric should lure
a man from Church journalism or Church professorships.
Every prominent place in the Church has been robbed by
losing its best incumbents by these quadrennial Sabine raids
to reinforce our episcopacy. That has come to pass hereto-
fore because such prominent men have been made known to
the Church through the notoriousness that was begotten of
his prominence. In these days of Advocates^ fast mails,
and telegraphs, faithful pastors are better and more widely
known, and are among the select and elect.
Time fails me to speak in detail of the able men whom
this University has trained and sent into all kinds of journal-
ism, or even of those who have served God and the Church
as editors of Methodist papers. Bryce, in his American
Commonwealth^ remarks : "Of the class of papers not pri-
marily or professedly political are the religious weeklies,
1 98 Ohio U^esleycut University :
to whose number and influence few parallels can be discov-
ered in Europe. It is on some great occasions, when some
question involving moral issues comes up, that they discuss
current politics at length. When they do, great is their
power." Then is the Methodist editor's opportunity, and I
hold that he should be alert for the duty and privilege. Just
as all good men should be called of God to work, so do I
believe a Church editor should know about every issue that
lifts its arm among men. It is generally thought that our
Church papers should almost wait for permission to speak
on themes not theological or religious. On the contrary, I
hold that our papers should wait for special permission to
omit their voices in human struggle. When silence is sin,
I hold that our editors should not be on the defensive, and
that their blades should shine in the air from skirmish line
to battle end.
I have quoted Bryce. I hope you will read what he says
about our numerous smaller colleges, and of our Church
schools and their beneficent influence.
Our Church schools should train men, convert men, and,
in a word, go right on to do what this college has done from
the beginning. It trains men thoroughly, and yet does not
neglect the converting and revolutionizing word which, as
among individuals, is just that which will presently bring
the world back to its rightful Master.
I rejoice in my Delaware memories, and glory in the
Church-work from which I bring you greetings to-day. I
first put my fingers in printer's ink in the office of the Del-
aware Standard and the Olentangy Gazette. I doubt much
that I shall ever get all the ink off", before I report to the
managing editor of the universe.
At any rate, I do not care to.

THE GRADUATE IN LITERATURE.
Kate Kauffman, Class of '72, of Springfield.
Mr. Toastmaster; Ladies and Gentlemen; Alumni
OF THE O. W. U.; Friends, and Former Classmates : —
When President Bashford invited me to respond to a toast,
I was glad. Glad for myself, glad for you. I appreciated
the honor, and I believed that you would appreciate my
speech ! That was not on personal grounds, but on the
score of sex. After-dinner speeches from men are matters
of almost every-day occurrence, but after-dinner speeches
from women are uncommon. We know that the men can
speak, and speak well, but a woman's speech is still regarded
with the curiosity that is due to an experiment. In the
beginning, she is pretty apt to be nervous, and fright-
ened, which makes her audience at once attentive to see
if she will be able to get through. I have read that the
finest Greek orators, when they began an oration, assumed
an air of timidity in order to ingratiate themselves with
their hearers. With a woman, all this is natural ; she does
not have to assume. But the signs of the times indicate
that women's speeches must become more frequent; it
seems that we are about to have publicity thrust upon us,
and we must prepare ourselves for our responsibilities. The
prospect need not appall us. When women find that they
must or ought to do a thing, they soon accomplish it with
success. Many of you have heard the Rev. Anna Shaw.
The first time she tried to make a speech she fainted, and
had to be carried from the room ! But now she has quite a
manly air of self-confidence. Frances Willard, in the begin-
ning of her career, was invited to make a Commencement
address to a class of young ladies. She only half complied ;
she wrote the address and had a gentleman read it. A few
200 Ohio Wesley an University:
weeks ago, I read of a mass-meeting in London, England.
Its purpose was to bid farewell to Miss Willard before her
return to America. On that occasion there were many brill-
iant speakers, among them Canon Wilberforce ; Miss Wil-
lard spoke also, and Miss Willard'' s was the best speech I
But I have been told to talk about the Graduate in Litera-
ture. At the word Literature, my mind flies to my favorite
authors. Mrs. Browning : She was not a graduate ; her edu-
cation was acquired in the tedium of a sick-room between
intervals of sufferingybut, she said, " I waa a very Napoleon
in ambition." George Eliot :. She was sent to a young
woman's boarding-school, she was a voracious reader and an
indefatigable student, but when she became celebrated as
the author of ''Adam Bede,'' she was described as "a self-
educated farmer's daughter." Louise Alcott : At sixteen,
she was teaching school, taking in sewing, and writing little
stories at five dollars apiece. Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur-
' n.ett : She never received a diploma ; at the time girls now-
la-days are leaving school, she was reading Dickens and say-
'ing, " I, too, will be a writer." Helen Hunt Jackson: Neither
was she a graduate. From this list, it would seem that the
graduate has not been in literature. But the cause is not far
to seek. These are women's names, and, forty years ago,
there were no women graduates. A list of men-writers of
the same time would show most of them to be alumm\ with
one brilliant exception, viz., Washington Irving.
Ever since the invention of letters, the world has experi-
enced periodic literary revivals. There was one at the time
of Solomon, for he said, " Of making many books, there is
no end." There was one at the time of Shakspeare ; within
fifty-two years in the little country of England — scarcely
larger than the State of Ohio — there were two hundred and
thirty-three poets who published their works in volumes.
Fifty Years of History. 201
The present is a time of great literary activity. In short,
everybody is a graduate, and everybody is in literature !
Persons go into literature professionally, or to make it
merely an avocation. The professional writer, unless he has
an independent fortune, would better secure a salary on a
newspaper. This is the gala-age of journalism. When I
graduated — in 1872 (for I was one of the girls of the Ohio
Wesleyan Female College), the subject of my essay was
"Magazine Literature," and I expatiated on its facility and
luxuriance, but I had no conception of the magazine litera-
ture of to-day. Then there were no newspaper syndicates.
An illustrated daily paper was unknown. Now the news-
paper reporter governs public opinion. No one dares to
offend him. He ought to be a good and conscientious man.
A few weeks ago. Sir Isaac Pittman, the inventor of stenog-
raphy, was knighted by Queen Victoria. The newspaper
is a splendid opening for women. An editor said to me,
" I need both men and women on my staff. To fly around
and get the news, I want the men. For the embellishments,
I prefer the women."
I have a weakness for books written by persons who made
literature merely an avocation. You remember that Charles
I^amb spent his life as clerk in a commercial house. When
his Essays were published and advertised as "The Works of
Charles I^amb," he made a joke about it. He said, " My
works, my works ! They ought to be called my play, my
recreation." The trouble about this kind of writing is to
find the time. I am sorry that in America there is no chance
of honorable imprisonment. Some of the best books extant
would never have been written if their authors had not been
cast into solitary confinement. But, since no one else will
imprison us, we must imprison ourselves. We must say No
to dissipations. We must determine to write a fixed time
202 Ohio Wesleyati University :
each day. However, if that is impossible, it is still no ex-
cuse. Mrs. Browning wrote her masterpiece, "Aurora
Leigh," in the intervals of social and domestic affairs. She
had her pencil and paper at hand ; she would write a few
lines ; if any person came in, she thrust them out of sight;
no one suspected she was writing an immortal poem. I am
ambitious for our business men and our professional men.
When I look at a successful business man and try to imagine
all that he knows about life, I exclaim, "Oh, what a glorious
book it would make if I could see the world through this
man's eyes ! " I should like to see Mr. Day, or Mr. DeCamp,
or Mr. Fairbanks write a great poem, a fine novel, or a dig-
nified history. In England, it is not uncommon for members
of Parliament to distinguish themselves in literature. Bul-
wer, with all his affairs, wrote two hours every day. D'lsraeli
wrote novels, not very good ones, but they extended his rep-
utation. Lord Macaulay is a brilliant instance. Justin Mc-
Carthy wrote a good history and good novels. Mr. Glad-
stone is an author. Such has not been the case with our
senators and congressmen. Henry Cabot Lodge has written
a few biographies — I can think of no other. Mr. Blaine
wrote his "Twenty Years in Congress," and Mr. Grant his
"Memoirs," but both after they had retired from public life.
Theological graduates have acquitted themselves more
creditably. They have their prototype in John Wesley.
There never was a busier man, yet he found time to write in-
structive books for his people, he wrote hymns, he wrote at
least one good love-poem, when he was disappointed in love
(a man writes poetry then if he never does again), and he
wrote a delightful Journal. All our Methodist bishops have
been industrious men. Bishop Thomson, for whom this
Hall is named ; his Travels and Essays are as fresh and de-
lightful to-day as when they were written. Here is Bishop

Walden, who is always contributing articles to our fine peri-
odicals. At the saddest time of my life I was consoled by
reading Bishop Foster's beautiful book, " Beyond the Grave."
Dr. Payne has given us grand plans for " Character Build-
ing." I am deeply indebted to Dr. McCabe. His explana-
tion of "The Foreknowledge of God" straightened out my
theological difficulties. All our Church papers are ably ed-
ited by theological graduates, and theological graduates
write most of the articles in them. One of my class-mates,
Mrs. May Alden Ward, has written two delightful books,
Biographies of Dante and Petrarch. Mrs. Ward is not a
theological graduate, but her husband is. And here I wish
to thank and praise Mrs. Donelson. She inspired her pu-
pils with an enthusiasm for literature, she instilled correct
literary taste, and when she bade us good-bye, she said,
"Girls, don't give up your writing." That reminds me, to
ask what shall the women write, the women who make lit-
erature merely an avocation ? Let them write letters, and
beautiful stories, and journals. Sainte Beuve, a delightful
French critic, said, "Any moderately gifted and sensitive
soul, who dares to write unaffectedly, possesses the material
for a good romance."
We graduates are intellectually equipped for literature.
But something else is necessary. Besides the head, there must
be a heart. Besides knowledge, there must be wisdom. The
writer needs a high and enthusiastic faith. The soul must
not remain void. Talent will never flourish in an empty soul.
Then let us believe that in this world things gradually
work together for good. Let us believe in a glorified condi-
tion of things hereafter.
I toast The Graduate in Literature ! May he have a clear
brain, keen and healthy senses, and may his creed be, opti-
mism now, opti7nis7n forever.
204 Ohio Wesley an University :
THE GRADUATE IN MEDICINE.
Spencer M. Free, M. D., Class of '77, of Du Bois, Pa.
The man who has received a college or university degree
has a place in Medicine as well as in other callings. It is no
mean place in these latter days, and within a few years the
probability is that unless a man is a college graduate, he will
have no place at all in this learned profession. Medicine is
the art of preventing, curing or alleviating disease, and of
remedying as far as possible the results of violence and
accident.
Perhaps no question is of more interest to man than the
one of life ; for what will a man not give for his life ?
Theology claims to be the profession of the world, because
it has to deal with the moral nature — the soul — which is
eternal and hence of far greater import to man than life and
his temporal affairs. The Christian physician ministers to
both body and soul, and is the superior of his brother in
theology or in the other walks of life.
May I pause long enough just here to impress upon each
young man who will enter Medicine, the unequalled oppor-
tunities for doing the work of our Master in this grandest of
callings — for it is a calling.
Pleasant as it would be to contemplate the many thoughts
springing out of this subject — the graduate in medicine —
such as the position he holds in the medical teaching of the
day, the social position he fills, the effect his presence and
influence in the profession have upon the standard of the
medical colleges of the world, etc., time will not permit. I
must pause, however, to make the following statement:
Whether Dr. A., who is a college graduate, will succeed
better in the practice of medicine than will Dr. B., who is
not, cannot be answered now because several things other
Fifty Years of History. 205
than education are factors of success in medicine. It is
beyond doubt, however, that Dr. A., with a college education,
will succeed better than Dr. B. without one.
Equally agreeable would it be to discuss the question of
the time required to complete a collegiate and a medical
course, and whether it pays to wait so long before entering
actively one's life work. I can stop only long enough to say
that it more than pays to wait. Far better a few years of
thorough, progressive, successful, effective work in the
profession that leaves its impress on the age, than many
years of ordinary, indifferent effort that sends the worker
into oblivion " unwept, unhonored and unsung." No surer
truth has ere been said than that by Tennyson, " better fifty
years of Europe than a cycle of Cathay."
How delightful an employment would it be to stand in
this inspiring presence and briefly sketch the careers of the
Mitchells, the Riggses, the Frys, the Kreiders, the Withrows,
who have gone from these halls to grace the ranks of
Medicine. But I must forego that delight. Our mother
need not be ashamed of them. So nobly indeed have they
done that not only do they greatly honor their beloved wife —
medicine — but even add to the brilliancy of their mother
and to the lustre of their charming sisters and brothers.
Pleasant as are these contemplations, I must pass them by
to consider briefly but one question, the higher medical
education and the necessity of a preliminary college training.
"I cannot understand," says Hoppe-Seyler, "how at the
present day a physician can recognize, follow in their course
and suitably treat diseases of the stomach and alimentary
tract, of the blood, liver, kidneys and urinary passages, and
the different forms of poisoning; how he can regulate the
diet in these and constitutional diseases without knowledge
of the methods of physiological chemistry and of its
2o6 Ohio Wesleyan University :
decisions on questions offering themselves for solution, and
without practical training in their application."
To this we may add, how can any intelligent, conscientious
man be willing to enter this great field of medicine, dealing
as it does with human life, unless he has a thorough
knowledge of man, of his diseases and of all measures useful
for their relief or cure ?
No intelligent architect will construct a great and massive
building upon a poor foundation ; that must be deep — even
down to the rock ; it must be broad and well cemented, or it
will fail to support the superstructure. Many medical men
cannot build large and magnificently, because their foundation
will not support the structure. They feel their limitations
and strive against them ; but despite all efforts they are
compelled to fall behind and to see other and younger men
with more thoroughly trained minds pass on beibre.
The candidate for medical honors should have in addition
to a good general education a reading knowledge of German,
French, Latin and Greek. He should have a mind well
trained to habits of thought, with its memory and reasoning
powers thoroughly developed. In addition to these things,
before entering a medical college he should be familiar with
the vegetable and animal world, with preventive medicine,
legal medicine, hygiene and medical history. How can he
better obtain this knowledge and attain these qualities than
by a classical or scientific course in a university? Following
this, he should become familiar with anatomy, physiology,
physiological chemistry, pathology, bacteriology and phar-
macology. This familiarity should be obtained not only by
text-book and lecture, but by laboratory practice and study.
Having completed the above-named courses, he is prepared
to take up the practical branches, such as general medicine,
surgery, obstetrics, gynaecology, and the several specialities,
Fifty Years of History. 207
most of which can be best learned by clinical instruction.
What better preparation can a man have for properly
grasping these important truths and obtaining these broad
views of medicine than by a regular college course ? Indeed,
I might say that it is well-nigh impossible for anyone not a
college or university graduate to thoroughly master this
higher medical curriculum.
These are not imaginary demands, but are the requirements
the great medical schools of the world have established for
graduation. The universities of the old world, and Harvard,
Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins, and some of the other schools
of this country, have taken the stand for higher medical
education. Some of the States have enacted laws in accord
with this broad and thorough basis of medical culture. The
other States will follow their example. The tide has turned.
Soon will it be said : " Old things have passed away ; behold,
all things have become new."
The art of medicine is of such import to the human race,
is so intricate in its phases and so fraught with responsibilities,
that no man can be too well prepared to practice it. It is
urged that medicine is not an exact science ; that it depends
so much on experiment that scientific attainments are
unnecessary ; that the ability a physician possesses is shown
by the length of time he practices the art, and not by the
amount of knowledge and by the well-trained mind he
brings with him at the time of his entrance into the
profession. This has perhaps been true to a considerable
degree in the past, and it contains some little truth at the
present time ; but each year medicine becomes more and
more an exact science. To-day, thorough training and
knowledge count for more than years of practice. The world
at large is coming to learn this, and ignorant men and
quacks will soon be no more. They will cease to be, because
no demand will exist for them.
2o8 Ohio Wesleyan University:
The colleges and universities of the world are digging the
sepulcher of empiricism. The graduates of these institutions
are even now wrapping its grave clothes about it, and soon
will they so firmly cement and seal the entrance to this tomb
that no Christ will ever arise with power enough to call this
Lazarus forth. It is a burial from which there will be no
resurrection.
We who are in medicine feel that our Alma Mater, so dear
to the heart of each son and daughter, which stands to-day
not with the hoary hair, the fading vision, the trembling
limbs of age — though fifty years of life have passed — but
with the raven locks, the flashing eye, the firm step, the
noble bearing of youth, must have a part in this work. She
must send her graduates into the medical colleges and
universities of the world so well prepared in mind and heart
that they can stand beside the best, and, having finished
their professional studies and entered this grandest of all
callings, can, in terrific strife for place, show to the gazing
multitude the beautiful colors of the O. W. U., flying, as they
do to-day, above the front column of the advance guard
without a single stain of ignorance or dishonor upon them.
THE GRADUATE IN THE COLLEGE.
Wii,i,iAM F. King, D. D., LL. D., Class of 1857, Mt. Vernon, Iowa.
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : I heartily
thank you, sir, for the honor of participating in this memor-
able occasion, and the kind compliments of your introduction.
But any honor that may seem to point to me, more surely
points to our dear Alma Mater, whom we all most gratefully
salute to-day. " Salve ^ magna Parens I "
When I recall that my matriculation was in the first decade
of our now venerable University, and that by the forbearance
Fifty Years of History. 209
of the trustees of a sister institution I have been permitted
to share her fortunes for over a third of a century, I am led
to suspect that 1 have been invited from the young and
modest West to prove by post-prandial speech that I am not
wholly a reminiscence — a capacity which some of my anxious
class-mates and cotemporaries may for prudential reasons
doubt my qualification to fill, but unfortunately for them
and for me, my antiquity may be demonstrated before I sit
down, for this overpowering occasion may put me in the
condition of an old friend of mine at a recent World's Fair
dinner. He was a most remarkable old gentleman, for before
dinner he remembered George Washington, but after dinner
he remembered Christopher Columbus.
In speaking of Columbus, I am reminded that it was most
benefiting that our fair Columbia should have invited all the
world to the celebration of her four-hundredth birthday in a
grand exhibition of human progress. So to-day, with equal
propriety, our beloved Cornelia is hostess of guests numerous
and worthy, drawn from the various provinces of the
Republic of Letters. And as she lovingly points to them as
her jewels, they unitedly shout her plaudits. To become
one of these jewels was the early aspiration of every
alumnus, and no title or emolument has come to any of us
since equal to " Son of Alma Mater." And as we gather
from afar to greet our loving mother on her fiftieth anniver-
sary, it is an inexpressible pleasure to find her fifty times
fairer and stronger and more beloved than when we first sat
at her feet. This pleasure is intensified when we walk about
our Zion, telling her towers, marking her bulwarks, and
counting her places and the hosts of her elect Israel, and
still more when We. catch a glimpse of Monnett Hall and
learn that our youihg mother lias consented to break the spell
of old tradition which compelled her to bring forth only male
2IO Ohio Wesley an University :
children. Monastic culture may have been suited to a darker
age, to " cloistered friars and vestal nuns," but
'* In cloistered state let selfish sages dwell,
Proud that their heart is narrow as their cell."
But the keener and more luminous vision of our day and our
land demands for men and women alike the strength and the
refinements of scholarship.
We come to this high festival with tender recollections
and hopeful anticipations, with thanksgivings for the past
and aspirations for the future ; we
" Come, with one impulse, one fraternal throng.
And crown the hours with banquet, speech and song."
In this bright jubilee, no congratulations for our fair hostess
are more hearty than those which we bring from sister
colleges which are glad to recognize their obligations to this
elder sister whose example they have emulated, and at whose
shrine so many have kindled their lamps. We greatly
appreciate the far-reaching light of this noble Pharos, built
upon the rock of truth by wiser than we, to warn from the
reefs and shallows of pernicious doctrines.
All learning is cosmopolitan and reciprocally helpful. It
has no petty rivalries. Every noble benefactor and every
true teacher is an inspiration to all the rest. There is no
gratitude better worth having than that felt by successive
generations towards those to whom they owe their education.
These higher institutions of learning, when wisely founded,
are the best and most permanent of human institutions.
They become hallowed spots in the eyes of the people.
Pupils retain a warm attachment for them, wars spare them,
and international law throws its protection over them. They
outlive constitutions and dynasties. The twelve great
schools of England were all founded over three centuries
Fifty Years of History. 2ii
ago, and many of them have lived through the transitions of
six dynasties upon the English throne.
From the first, great attention was given in this institution
to the development of pure and noble character. Wholesome
precept was reinforced by the example of pure and magnetic
lives. The old celebrated Sabbath afternoon lectures had a
literary and spiritual power beyond computation. I doubt
if any university in the country has ever had their equal.
These and other human agencies crowned by divine favor
have made this one of the strongest christianizing forces in
the land.
There was also early developed a broad love of letters,
rather than the niceties of scholarship. The student was
helped to assimilate the thoughts and sentiments of authors
and teachers, rather than to magnify the technicalities of
scholarship. The marrow was regarded as of more value
than the bone that encased it. They believed with Montaigne
that man should be " taught to love virtue instead of learning
to decline virtus."
The Humanities and those arts rightly called liberal have
here continued to claim their ancient right and to yield their
fruitage of culture and character. Science, too, under the
stimulus of the new education, has had an increasing share
of attention, helping the mind to organize whatever is
learned and bringing it into true relations to other knowledge,
thus making life noble and generous. But is there not
ground to fear that all the colleges are under temptation to
unduly force university forms into college methods too
narrow for them? Are we not, in the college grade, in
danger of pushing too far or too fast the elective system, and
the lecture system, and the work of original research ?
While these systems have great value within moderate limits
in a college course, yet it is easy to carry them beyond the
212 Ohio Wesley an University :
age and capacities of college students and the scope of
college equipments. The same tendency to extremes is
observed in the popular athletics of the day which brings
together 2,000 weaklings who need exercise to witness the
extraordinary efiforts of a few nines who do not need it.
If it is still demanded of the college to inspire and
maintain high ideals of life ; if it is expected to continue
fitting its pupils to cope with as many exigencies of the day
as possible, then it must continue to give an all-round
education, and to turn out Aristotle's four-square men,
capable of holding their own in whatever field cast, rather
than lop-sided ones abnormally developed in one direction.
I have not much admiration for those specialists who know
only one thing, and though they know very little about
that one thing, are supposed to know all about it, because
they know nothing of anything else. Special aptitudes are
likely to take care of themselves, but latent possibilities can
best be discovered by experimenting in different directions.
Lowell happily hits the mark when he says the " many-
sidedness of culture makes our vision clearer and keener in
particulars."
When I recall my personal debt to our dear University, the
high ideal which I formed under the inspiration of these
classic shades, and when I look into the beaming faces of
my dear old teachers. Doctors McCabe and Williams, whose
minds and souls are still blooming in immortal youth ; and
still more, when I recall the precious memories of the forceful
Harris, the seraphic Thomson and the sainted Merrick, I am
led to exclaim, how wide-armed is the teacher's calling,
gathering its material from every side, going the grand round
of human endowment to select what it will enrich and bless,
making all interests of society in some measure its debtors,
all achievements of body, mind and character in some sense
Fifty Years of History. 213
its outcome, never adequately appreciated till it is lain down,
never realizing its own elastic ideal but by what it makes of
man, giving him his first dim vision of what he may become,
and setting his face rightly towards his present, which is
housed in the material, and toward his future which shall be
without house, spiritual and eternal.
The last session of the J' Jubilee " was held in Gray
Chapel, on Thursday afternoon, June 21, with Hon. D. S.
Gray, President of the Board of Trustees, in the chair.
Governor Wm. McKinley, who was present, made a de-
lightful off-hand speech while thanking the trustees and
faculty for conferring upon him the degree of Doctor of
Laws. All the friends of the University are deeply indebted
to the Governor for his warm interest in the building of
University Hall.
THE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE A NECESSITY TO THE
CHURCH AND THE STATE.
By Rev. C. H. Payne, D. D., LL. D., Secretary of the Board of Education
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Ex-President
of Ohio Wesleyan University.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : During the
progress of these festive days we have all heard so many
eulogistic words concerning the institution whose semi-cen-
tennial we now celebrate that I have felt somewhat appre-
hensive lest those who are not connected with the Ohio
Wesleyan University might begin to feel it were better for
them had they never been born. I am, however, fearful
that my address will not bring them much relief.
Fifty years of noble history have more than justified the
eloquent prophecy of the fervid Elliott when, in language
that seemed to tax hyperbole, he pictured the future of the
21 /\. Ohio Wesley an University :
institution to be planted beside the ever-gushing spring. A
half century has passed, and for far-reaching and beneficent
influence we may well challenge any institution in Church
or State, within the same period of time, to produce a par-
allel. In answer to the question, '' What has the Ohio Wes-
leyan University accomplished ? " we stand dazed and smit-
ten with wonder by the very embarrassment of riches at hand.
Figures, indeed, march before us in startling array, grand
and imposing, but wholly inadequate to represent reality.
Two thousand two hundred graduates haye passed from its
halls bearing its honored parchment, while probably 20,000
students have for a longer or a shorter period felt its molding
touch. To tell what this army of men and women, march-
ing with brave hearts and noble purposes to the world's work
and the world's battle, have done, would be a task like that
of calculating the influence of the sun upon the earth. Suf-
fice it to say, that humanity has been so greatly enriched by
the direct products of this institution of learning that could
you by some fell stroke eliminate all its work and quench
all its light, the wide world would feel the darkness and im-
poverishment. This college has been singularly successful
in helping to make men ; — manly men and womanly women.
Men and women in whom highest culture has been crowned
with highest character, and whose lives have been devoted
to useful service. Men and women who have made Society,
the Church and the State, better by their salutary influence.
We proudly place its 2,200 graduates beside an equal num-
ber from any other college in the land. It is doubtless the
highest glory of this institution that for fifty years it has
been pre-eminently a religious college. Its all pervasive
and ever-continuing religious spirit, its oft-repeated and phe-
nomenal religious revivals, beyond all question constitute
the brightest gem that sparkles in the coronet of this Chris-
Fifty Years of History. 215
tian College. Genuine scholarship has always been at a
premium, and graduates of high scholastic attainments have
from the first gone forth from its halls into all the honorable
vocations of life, while through its entire history the large
proportion of ministers which have received their training
here has been a marked feature ; and it is not a little grati-
fying to recall the fact that in the proportion of its male
graduates who are intending to enter the Christian ministry,
it still leads the colleges of Methodism and the colleges of
the land, thirty-five per cent, of the gentlemen of the class
of '93 having the ministry in view. If all the money ever
expended by American Methodism produced no greater re-
sults than are seen in this institution, it would be a hundred
fold reward.
WHY MAINTAIN DENOMINATIONAI^ COLLEOKS.
If the question should be asked, "Why in our time should
the Christian Church support its own colleges? " the answer
may be promptly and emphatically given ; because the high-
est interests of the individual and of the nation and of the
Church demand the maintenance of such colleges. Because
the Christian Church cannot fulfill its mission without the
use of this right arm of power, the Christian College. Never
was the Christian College more imperatively demanded than
to-day.
The highest interests of the individual demand it.
What is the chief aim in all true higher education ? To
make the mathematician, the biologist, the linguist ? Rather
to make the man; the man prepared for complete living,
the symmetrical man, the ideal man. And where shall we
find the true standard of ideal manhood ? To that question
there is but one answer. God's ideal of a man is given us
in Jesus of Nazareth. The nearer we approach to this
2i6 Ohio Wesley an University:
matchless standard, the nearer perfection shall we attain.
Need we add that the institution of learning that pays hom-
age to this lofty ideal, that enthrones this incomparable
Teacher and conducts all its educational work under His
supremacy and in accordance with the principles of His
Kingdom, will do the noblest work, will produce the loftiest
types of character. Amid so much that is confusing and
misleading in our modern education, there is need that the
Christian College should speak with the prophet's voice to
the youth of our land, and in all the work of character build-
ing should repeat with emphasis the words of inspiration,
'' See that thou make all things according to the pattern
shown thee in the mount." Some voices are now being heard
speaking with an emphasis that it is refreshing to hear.
Recently an educator and social leader who is rapidly coming
to the front, has affirmed, "The worth or permanence of any
man's life is just according to the measure of the Christ-
life he receives. Character, individual, social, or political,
without Christ, is a vain and destructive imagination.
There is no genuine morality that is not the output of the
ingrowing Christ-life. Self-righteousness is atheism in the
soul, in the market, in the Church, in the State." If this be
true, and who dares challenge its truth, it is quite time that
this supreme truth were proclaimed with even more courage
than has marked the utterances of the Church in previous
years ; and being proclaimed, it smite with destructive hand
all Christless systems of education. There is no more de-
lusive teaching of modern times than that which holds a
man educated whose best and noblest nature is left an un-
cultivated waste. As well claim that the brutal champions
of the prize ring are educated because their muscles have
been so trained that they can beat and pommel each other
with fearful force. So may a man's mental nature be trained
Fifty Years of History. 217
to no higher purposes, and practically with no higher results.
We want colleges that will produce not a Sullivan in physique,
nor a Mephistopheles in intellect, nor a Lilliputian in faith
and morals, but manly, Christian men.
Since, then, symmetrical character and high manhood are
the prime object of all genuine education, it is of prime im-
portance to every individual, whatever may be his intended
vocation, that he secure his education in an institution of
learning in which these high ideals are dominant. It is
certain that one's education, its quality and its value, will
be largely determined by his Christian principles and by his
environment. His very conception of culture is thus deter-
mined as well as all its processes, its aims and its ends.
With the right conception of education at the start, a con-
ception that seeks a preparation for life in order to compass
life's highest end, unselfish living, the student seeks a cul-
ture that is genuine and deep and abiding rather than the
superficial and the ephemeral. He has then from the be-
ginning the immense benefit of high aims, high ideals, high
inspirations, and a favoring environment, that seldom fail in
producing best results. A man lacking these high moral
and manly qualities lacks the crown of manhood, lacks gen-
uine greatness. John Stuart Blackie, the sturdy, genial old
Scotchman, says, ^'A great genius is not necessarily a great
man. He may be a Beethoven in the lordship of sweet
sounds, a Raphael in the cunning handling of brush and
pencil, a Napoleon in the well-ordered sweep of ambitious
war, but not therefore a great man. Jove is not Jove merely
as a strong launcher of the thunderbolt, but as the asserter
of justice, the avenger of perjury and the protector of inno-
cence." That is the kind of man which the times demand.
It is the kind of man which all our institutions should seek
to produce. It is, however, let us sadly confess, a question
2i8 Ohio Wesley an University:
of great seriousness whether a certain class of colleges, not
difficult to name, are to-day graduating from their halls a
very large proportion of men of that type, men who possess
genuine scholarship and genuine manhood built after the
Christian pattern. There is pre-eminent need of the Chris-
tian College to give the world the type of men it sadly needs
— men who are not content to leave Society as they find it,
but carry it forward to nobler issues and higher attainments.
Herbert Spencer says, " By no political alchemy can you get
golden conduct from leaden instincts." No, by some pro-
cess, the " leaden instincts " must be made golden. But how ?
By no alchemy that science can command ; only by that
higher alchemy with which the Christian teacher is quite
familiar, the alchemy of the new birth. And the teacher or
the school that ignores that higher alchemy of Heaven, will
toil away hopelessly at the impossible task of trying to make
^'leaden instincts" produce "golden conduct."
THE NATION.
The Christian College is necessary to the nation's perpetu-
ity and safety. National prosperity and honor are all in-
volved in the maintenance of thoroughly Christian institu-
tions of learning. Goethe said, " The destiny of any nation
at any given time depends on the opinions of the young
men who are under twenty-five years of age." If this be
even approximately true of its young men in general, it is a
hundred-fold more true of its young men who are gathered
within college and university halls. Would you cast the
horoscope of Europe ? Make careful analysis of its univer-
sities, the Sorbonne, Berlin, Oxford.
And nowhere else is the connection between the college
and the State so close, so direct and so vital as in our own Re-
public. Republican institutions are unquestionably glorious,
Fifty Years of History, 219
but unquestionably perilous. No other institutions feel the
touch of youthful hands so quickly and respond to that
touch so readily. Believing as we do and must in the
Divine Book, we must also firmly hold that no nation can
permanently stand the stress of years that is not upheld
by the pillars of righteousness. And to keep those pillars
firm and erect requires the strong hand of Christian
statesmen. And Christian statesmen, for the most part,
are the product of the <2hristian College. Few perils
of our nation are greater than the greed of power ;
partisanship runs mad in its wild, unprincipled race for
power. The statesman asks what the nation needs, and
seeks to provide for it. The demagogue asks how he can
lift his petty self to position, or place his party, right or
wrong, in the seat of power. But what makes statesmen ?
High and righteous principle applied to the character build-
ing from the cradle through the university ; education con-
ducted with unwavering fidelity to the development of the
whole being ; symmetrical education that would as soon neg-
lect the mind in any other of its varied functions as the con-
science, which is the regal power of the mind. Banish from
our colleges religious teaching, and they will quickly become
nurseries of socialism and anarchy, as many universities of
Europe can emphatically testify. Nor can we deny that our
own system of government presents special teinptations to the
ambitious young man. Political preferment is easily within
reach, and naturally sought. The young men of America
need all the restraints of a stalwart Christian faith, all the
helps of a firm disciplinary regime, and all the accessories of
healthful environment, to protect them from the insidious
influence of an unworthy ambition, and to hold them to the
steady path of the statesman, rather than leave them to
tread the perilous ways of the demagogue.
220 Ohio Wesley an University:
The next fifty or even twenty-five years in our nation's
history will be critical years. It must be wisely and firmly
held to its Christian traditions and its practical Christian
character. The seeds of political atheism have been too
widely sown, and we cannot deny that their poisonous fruit
is beginning to appear. It ought not to be possible, it must
not remain possible, for a senator unrebuked to repeat a piti-
able piece of recent history and declare that the application
of Christian principles to politics, such principles as are
taught in the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the
Mount, is an "iridescent dream." It ought not to be possi-
ble for a man in our national Congress to utter such words
as have startled the ears of the nation within the last few
months, when a representative of a Christian commonwealth
affirmed that bodies of Christian people have no right of pe-
tition to our national Congress, with the plain implication
that they should attend to their own peculiar business, what-
ever that may be, and leave the grave matters that affect the
State and, the social interests of the people to the dema-
gogues and the devil. That is a species of political atheism
that means political anarchy, and political anarchy means
national destruction. It is quite time that the Christian
sentiment of this Christian nation asserted itself, and relegated
to deserved obscurity the men who utter such dangerous
sentiments. No wild-eyed anarchist, with his uncurbed
tongue, is doing half as much harm as these unprincipled
men who stand inside the halls of Congress. Every
interest demands that we should listen reverently to the
inspired words that have not yet lost their force, "The
nation and the kingdom that will not serve me shall
perish." Wrong is wrong, and right is right, irrespec-
tive of the foolish utterance of the partisan and the dema-
gogue ; and whatever would be wrong in any Christian man,
Fifty Years of History. 221
is equally wrong in the State. And this high doctrine of a
standard of righteousness applicable alike to men and to
states, to individuals, to corporations, and to nations, must
be faithfully applied. It needs no argument to show that
this class of men who will be of real service to the nation
will come almost entirely from the Christian College. Noth-
ing is so much needed in our country as to enthrone con-
science and intelligence in the high seats of power and influ-
ence. Conscience and intelligence in the President's chair,
in the Senate Chamber, in the National House of Represent-
atives, in magisterial and legislative seats, in every com-
monwealth of the Union ; and nowhere else is it more
needed than in that most potent agency of our times, the
daily press. The Christian College never had so great a
work to do ; never was demanded by such imperative voices
as now summon it to the work of training a class of consci-
entious and cultured men, who, rising above self-interest and
party preferment, will march forward as leaders of a con-
quering host, whose watchword and battle cry shall be, " For
God and native land."
** The riches of the commonwealth
Are free, strong minds and hearts of health ;
And better far than gold and grain,
The cunning hand, the cultured brain."
THE CHURCH.
The interests of the Church demand the Christian College
as never before. Never did the task set before the Church
so imperatively require the highest culture, combined with
Christly love. With the increasing complexity of our civili-
zation comes increased difficulty in attaining success in any
vocation in life. Nor must the Church expect that in any
of her varied fields of endeavor she can win success without
reaching the high standard of requirements demanded in
222 Ohio Wesley an University :
other fields. The pulpit is still a throne of power, but it is
a throne which the weak man will occupy at his peril and
the peril of the Church he represents. A throne of power
indeed, but only for a man of power. For while strength was
never so potent, weakness was never so puerile. The great
problem before all Christian denominations to-day is the
problem of demand and supply ; the demand for the right
kind of ministers and missionaries and Christian leaders far
exceeding the supply. There is and there will be no substi-
tute for the Christian College in yielding this much-needed
supply. Methodism is rich in its resources, rich in its mag-
nificent armies of young men and women that have in them
the possibilities of high service to the Church. It must not
fail to see that these thousands of aspiring youth find their
way to its highest institutions of learning ; nor must it fail
to provide such institutions, unsurpassed for excellence by
any in the land. The greatest Church in Christendom de-
mands the greatest and best-equipped army in Christendom ;
and that necessitates the noblest and best endowed institu-
tions of learning in Christendom. Methodism will be dere-
lict to its duty if it does not provide, nor linger long in mak-
ing the provision, the needed millions to put upon a firm
foundation our struggling colleges and universities.
Never before has there been such expansion of views,
such breadth of aims in the Christian Church as to-day. A
new era is dawning. Glorious as the past has been, still
more glorious will be the future. All signs point to a coming
conflict in which the Church is to bear aloft her banners and
lead to greater victories than have marked her history in the
past. Society is not only feeling the pulsations of evolution,
but is in the very throes of revolution. The air is tremulous
with the gathering forces. Everywhere there is unrest, dis-
content and strife. Nothing is more apparent than the fu-
Fifty Years of History. 223
tility of all other agencies and organizations to adjust the re-
lations between man and man, to place Society upon a firm
because a righteous basis, and to lead its contending forces
to higher and better uses. Plainly, the Church of Christ is
Society's true and only Savior. And there is no aspect of
our times that bears the stamp of God's providence upon it
as does the great awakening which is evidently coming to
the Church of Christ respecting its duty to Society. Pro-
phetic voices, touched with Divine fire, are calling to the
Church to move forward to the salvation of Society as it has
never yet undertaken to do. Far be it from me to chide or
criminate the Church for what she has not done in the past, or
has done so imperfectly. Enough to say that times change
and wider prospects open to the advancing Church ; new op-
portunities are presented, new duties summon her to what
she has not hitherto undertaken. The duty of the hour is
to marshal her forces, to unify and mass them, and to under-
take by direct efforts the mighty task of overthrowing iniq-
uity, organized, legalized, respectably patronized, buttressed
and supported by whatever prop of respectability or law or
custom, and to make Society thoroughly Christian in all its
organizations and forms. That the Church will undertake
this sublime work, that it will succeed in it beyond what the
most hopeful prophet dares to foretell, I cherish no doubt.
I foresee a future for the Church of Christ big with prom-
ise, glorious in its unequalled victories. And this new era,
sure to come, may already be dawning, and hurrying our
waiting feet forward to its tremendous issues calls for dis-
tinguished leadership. The one imperative, comprehensive
demand of the Christian Church to-day is high, inspiring,
commanding leadership. Give to the Church of Christ in
Christian America that leadership to-day, and no forces of
evil can stand before it. And where shall we look for such
224 Ohio Wesley an University:
leadership but to the Christian College? Not colleges that
question the wisdom and greatness of Moses, but that magnify
his statesmanship and sound in the ears of the coming lead-
ers of these marshaling forces the Commandments of God
written by Moses on the tables of stone amid Sinaitic thun-
ders. Not colleges that insinuate skeptical questionings as
to the truth of Christianity, but colleges that enthrone
Christ and hail him as the world's great deliverer. Colleges
that emphasize and teach applied Christianity that has the
Sermon on the Mount for its supreme, practical guide ; that
do not deem that incomparable charter of the Church an
impracticable, ideal dream, but a veritable constitution, by
which the Church, the State and Society are to be governed,
and through which the Kingdom of Heaven is to be set up
on earth. Colleges that, while free from bigotry and sectari-
anism, as the Church must and will be free, will make no
apology for lifting high the Cross of Calvary and pointing
the thousands of them that flock to their halls to that su-
preme symbol of power while they teach with an emphasis
that cannot be misunderstood the never-to-be-forgotten le-
gend, " By this sign conquer! ^' Colleges that hold the body
of students kindly but firmly up to this high standard of
Christian manliness and Christian purity, that will not toler-
ate any practice, however innocent in name, or respectable
in precedent, that is inconsistent with the teachings of the
manly Christ. And this means that the college itself must
be thoroughly and uncompromisingly Christian; not half
Christian and half pagan. And this type of a Christian Col-
lege alone will meet the stress of the twentieth century. If
a denominational college is not Christian through and
through, and cannot present better products of character,
better specimens of its work than schools that make no claim
to Christianity, the raison cVetre^ the right of existence for
Fifty Years of History. 225
such a college has ceased. And in these new and stirring
times that are just before us, when the trumpet of God is
sounding among men as never before, and prophetic voices
are calling the Church to a higher service and to greater
victories, no man, no Church, no institution, no State, can
bear the stamp of Christianity that is not in very truth, and
in the eyes of men, actually and practically following the
Lord Jesus Christ. Following Him in the surrender of per-
sonal ease and will, and in consecration to the high service
of manhood ; following Him by putting into concrete form
in daily deed the Sermon on the Mount.
In Gov. McKinley's address, delivered upon the platform
a year ago, he related an instance connected, I think, with
the battle of Cedar Mountain, where a part of the brigade
had gotten quite in advance of their comrades in a seeming-
ly perilous position, and the Division Commander, seeing the
situation, commanded that the colors should be brought
back. The Brigade Commander, with better knowledge of
the real condition of affairs, and unwilling to beat a retreat,
called out in tones that thrilled the hearts of the men,
" Bring the men up to the colors ! " The man who uttered
those memorable words was once President of the United
States, three times Governor of the State of Ohio, and —
honor equal to that of any other position — a trustee of Ohio
Wesley an University. That man was Rutherford B. Hayes.
The Ohio Wesleyan University has carried its colors with
courage and hope to the most advanced position held by any
American college. We can, by no means, beat a retreat.
Turning to the millions of Methodist people in this great
country, and to the two hundred and fifty thousand Method-
ists in the great State of Ohio, to-day she sends out her
ringing appeal, " Bring the men up to the colors ! "
Nineteen years ago this very commencement season, I was
226 Ohio Wesley an University:
elected President of the Ohio Wesleyan University. A year
later I was inaugurated. The first year we had three hun-
dred and twenty-three students — all men. In my dreams
for its future, I started a battle cry that was echoed through-
out this great central State. That battle cry was, let there
be a thousand students within its halls and a million dollars
within its treasury! When I resigned the Presidency of the
Institution, six years ago, having held it for twelve years,
I was permitted to see almost the full realization of that
dream ; a thousand students, minus but seventeen, were then
enrolled in its student body, and a large portion of the mill-
ion dollars had been fully pledged, while the remainder was
in clear sight. And now I start another battle cry : long be-
fore the Ohio Wesleyan University shall have accomplished
its next fifty years of history and completed its full rounded
century, there must be five thousand students within its
halls and five millions of dollars in its treasury !
KX-GOVERNOR CHARLES FOSTER.
Mr. President, and Ladies and Gentlemen : As this
is the Jubilee year — the Semi-Centennial of the Ohio Wes-
leyan University, — it is entirely appropriate to refer to its
early founders. In fact, the ceremonies will not be complete
without reference to the early labors of Thomson, Merrick,
McCabe, Williams, and others, who laid broad and deep the
foundation stones upon which rest the magnificent, as well as
beneficent, results which are now conspicuously apparent on
every hand.
No other man or set of men could have been found who
possessed the attributes of good sense, self-denial and fervent
piety, and all the qualities necessary for a successful begin-
ning of such an enterprise. While all honor and glory are
due these men, we must not forget that behind them was an
Fifty Years of History. 227
organization just then assuming gigantic proportions in the
religious world, which, after all, has been the strong right
arm of support, and without which it is probable that the
brave efforts of the founders would have come to naught.
Here the thought suggests itself that, inasmuch as the
great and powerful M. E. Church has not hesitated to con-
form itself to the advancing civilization of the age, so must
the management of the University also conform to the times
in which we live. This, I 'am glad to note, she is doing.
Your President was pleased to refer to me as a tow-headed
boy, whom he first knew in our school days at Norwalk, O.
I think he is mistaken as to the color of my hair, but, be
that as it may, I was born in Northwestern Ohio. The first
preacher I ever saw or heard was a Methodist, and my only
academic education was received at Norwalk, under the
presidency of Dr. Thomson, whom I most affectionately
remember.
When complimentary diplomas were bestowed on several
gentlemen to-day, I felt that, as my schooling had taken
place in the academy that was the predecessor of Delaware,
that my service ante-dated theirs, and that, like them, I did
not graduate, I was being neglected. Perhaps the faculty
will be more considerate in the future.
I remember well how^ those old-fashioned preachers made
the woods resound with their fervid eloquence. Among
them was Father Gray, whose picture adorns the walls of
this chapel — the gift of his son, our honored President.
With all due deference to the eloquence of Dr. Payne and
other preachers of the present day, I cannot resist the feeling
that, in the matter of eloquently portraying the horrible con-
dition of the sinner, and in describing the beauties and
glories of Heaven, these old preachers excelled.
To show the tact of the managers of the M. E. Church, I
228 Ohio Wesleyatt University:
beg your indulgence to relate an incident in which a present
resident of Delaware and myself took part. I refer to
Chaplain Collier. There were two villages in Northwestern
Ohio, in one of which I resided. These villages were very
small, and only a mile apart. In each of them was a Method-
ist Church, and both weak. If combined, they would make
one good, strong station. But the brethren in these churches
partook of the rivalries of the two towns, and when meetings
were held to effect a consolidation, it was found that both were
willing, on condition that one would unconditionally surrender.
Methodists as they were, and shouting ones at that, they would
invariably quarrel when they met, and it finally reached the
point that neither church would have anything to do with
the other — a most deplorable state of afifairs, — and a solution
must be had, for neither church was doing any good. Their
mission seemed to be to quarrel.
In this state of affairs. Rev. Disbro, who was Presiding
Elder, selected a young preacher of good address and
pleasant manners, whose principal mission was to get these
two churches together. He came on to his charge. Among
the first he met after his arrival was myself. He frankly
told me his mission, and asked my help. I gave him a fair
estimate of the general character of the principal combatants.
They were all good men, but were of the moss-back type.
He called the principal men of each church together, and
suggested his desire to unite the two churches, and to build
a new church half way between the two old ones. The
brethren would commence the discussion, but soon were in a
quarrel, but before many hard words. Collier would say:
" Let us pray." Down on their knees they went ; then he
would call on the most belligerent to pray. He kept this up
for about three weeks, when they came together, built the
new church, and since that date the church at Fostoria has
Fifty Years of History. 229
been one of the most prosperous, with one of the best church
edifices in the conference. Here was one of the best illustra-
tions of the power of prayer I ever knew.
I assume that many of the graduates of to-day, like
those in the past, are looking to the political field to gratify
their ambitions. I do not suppose you can go into any legis-
lative body, west or south of Ohio, but what you will find
among its members students of this University. They seem
to have invaded the National House ; I am not certain as to
the Senate, but if not represented there now, they soon will
be by the presence of our friend Fairbanks, who sits behind
me. They are Governors of States, and, in short, there is no
place in the political world that they are not aspirants for.
It is thought by many that the highest rewards for human
effort lie in the political field. I am inclined to think this is
true ; the scientific and literary fields next, and the financial
last. Who would exchange the name of Garfield for Gould,
or Sam Randall for Vanderbilt ?
I have this, however, to suggest : that the first duty in any
man's career is to secure a competency for himself and
family — to lay broad and deep the foundations of good
character and of success in the line you have chosen. Do
not be in a hurry to enter upon official life. It is, however,
the bounden duty of every man, no matter how exalted or
exclusive his position may be, to be a politician, notwith-
standing the hard knocks they have just received from
Brother Payne.
No man is a good citizen that is not a politician. It is
every man's duty not only to vote, but under our system of
government, where parties are necessary, to also attend the
caucuses and conventions. It is the duty of President Payne,
President Bashford and Bishop Walden to attend the caucus.
They have no right to complain of the character of candi-
230 Ohio Wesley an University :
dates when they have neglected their duty as a citizen. Bad
nominations come when the bad element of a party is per-
mitted, by the non-action of the better element, to control
its caucus and convention.
Notwithstanding what has been said by Brother Payne as
to the bad character of public men in Congress and in other
high places, I challenge him to get together 400 men who
can excel in character, in integrity, real piety and intelli-
gence, the 400 men who compose the Congress of the United
States. They are the picked men of the country, and fully
equal to the people who sent them to Congress.
We know what the glorious past of the University has
been. We are confident that the coming years will witness
a greater prosperity and still more glorious results.
Not the least attractive portion of the programme was the
reading of letters — greetings from other colleges and alumni.
LETTERS FROM UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES.
It is not within the range of the space allotted to this
chapter to give in full all the many kind words which were
received from the official heads of the various institutions to
which invitations were sent to attend the Anniversary.
President Seth Low, of Columbia College, N. Y., wrote :
'' It gives me great pleasure to express to you the greetings
of Columbia College on the occasion of your semi-centen-
nial. The recent years have brought to us a number of
students from your University. * * ^ i am glad to say
that all of them have done you credit, one in the Law School
taking the third prize. They have shown good preparation
and have been excellent students. May you turn out many
more such men in the coming years."
Fifty Years of History, 231
President Schurman, of Cornell, wrote :
" Cornell sends greetings to its older sister, Ohio Wesleyan
University, now celebrating its semi-centennial anniversary.
In this conntry and time, when institutions of the higher
learning are springing with full-born powers from the wealth
of modern civilization, it is a distinction for a university to
celebrate its fiftieth birthday. A leading college of Ohio
and of American Methodism, the Alma Mater of many
useful citizens of the republic, your institution well deserves
the congratulations of its sister universities at this time upon
its good work in the past, and its excellent prospects for
future usefulness."
President Harper, of Chicago University, wrote :
'' Allow me to congratulate the Ohio Wesleyan University
upon the celebration of its semi-centennial. Surely the
founders of the institution, if any of them are alive to-day,
must regard with great satisfaction the work which has been
accomplished in these fifty years. It seems to me that those
who are engaged in the educational work of our country
have much for which to be thankful. * ^ ^ We need
not fear that our ideal will be too lofty."
President Scott, of Ohio State University, wrote :
" We rejoice in the growth and widening power of your
institution, and we wish for it during the next fifty years a
growth and power which shall far outmeasure all that it has
hitherto achieved. ^ * * Q^i^ of the strongest and most
inspiring influences in my youthful life came from the
addresses of President Thomson as they appeared in the
Ladies' Repository after they had been delivered before the
students of the University. * ^ * f q have been the
centre from which that shining and quickening influence
232 Ohio Wesley an University:
radiated is, in my imagination, the chief glory of the Ohio
Wesleyan University, and it is one that cannot die.^'
President Cone, of Buchtel College, wrote :
" Please accept sincere congratulations of Buchtel College
on the completion of the fifty successful years of Ohio Wes-
leyan University. * * * We join with many thousands
in wishing the University continuous growth, usefulness and
honor."
President Thompson, of Miami University, wrote :
*' Miami University, completing her seventieth year, joins
with the great multitude in congratulating her junior sister
upon attaining the honorable age of fifty. * * * The
fifty years have been a splendid prophecy. May the Jubilee
year be the beginning of a realization of that prophecy in
which the Holy Spirit may descend in large measure, bap-
tizing the institution, and consecrating her students to the
cause of higher Christian education."
President Jordan, of Leland Stanford University, Cal. :
" The Leland Stanford, Jr., University, three years old,
sends greeting to the Ohio Wesleyan University, which is
fifty years old — old enough to be the grandmother of the
promising infant who now sends its message. May the
Leland Stanford, Jr., University grow old enough to be a
grandmother and still find the Ohio Wesleyan fifty years
ahead of it in age and vigor — in everything that makes a
university strong."
President Ort, of Wittenberg University, Springfield, O. :
" I rejoice with you on account of the history your institu-
tion has made for herself. I am glad that she is a denomi-
national school, that she stands positively for the great
principles of evangelical amity and is one of the mighty
Fifty Years of History. 233
educational powers of our land set forever against irreligion
and skepticism in all their various forms."
President Marsh, of Mount Union College :
" Fifty years of age is only youth to an educational insti-
tution. During this brief time, Ohio Wesleyan has attained
a giant growth, and added a lustre to both the names Ohio
and Wesleyan. * * * We join you in devout thanks-
giving to the Master of all Degrees, who has so richly
honored Ohio Wesleyan University. May the bright past be
but the promise of a more radiant future."
President Dwight, of Yale University :
*' I beg leave to send you and the officers of your Univer-
sity the congratulations of our institution, as well as my
own, on the successful ending of the first half century of
your history. * * * f he good wishes of the older insti-
tutions of learning in this eastern region will go with you
into the future. The fraternity of educated men and of
university men is a fraternity united by common pur-
poses and common inspirations and common hopes. * * *
May the spirit of our universities ever be a pure and noble
spirit. May the great brotherhood of their graduates be
always noble men."
President McDowell, of Denver University :
'* The University of Denver sends greetings to Ohio Wes-
leyan. You are in possession of a history of fifty splendid
years. We are in our youth, but we salute you with love
and congratulations. May the Ohio Wesleyan have the
blessings of men and of God for untold ages. She has the
love of her children, one of whom I am."
President Ballantine, of Oberlin College :
" Oberlin College extends to her younger sister, Ohio
234 Ohio Wesley an University:
Wesleyan University, her most cordial congratulations and
best wishes on this happy occasion. Founded in the same
spirit, cherishing the same high ideals, built up in the same
way by sacrifices, labors, tears and prayers, Delaware and
Oberlin can never be other than firm allies in the great work
of Christian education. They represent the belief that in
the training of the young, the culture of the mind by learning
and the culture of the heart by religion must proceed
together."
Chancellor Day, of Syracuse University, .N. Y. :
* * ^fc "The * wheel' rolled with such force that it
threw you off, and, flying away on a tangent, you struck that
eminence in Delaware with force enough to stick. The
world owes much to the Methodist wheel. Ohio Wesleyan
is debtor to it in the past and in the present. I had thought
of you back in those New England days, when you were
pastor of my old church in Portland, as one born for many
things ; but what would be the supreme thing did not then
appear. >i^ ^ >i^ But you have demonstrated it. Your
summit is the college presidency. >^ * >f^ You have a
great University — next to Syracuse — in the line of Methodist
institutions ! Modesty forbids me to say on which side of
Syracuse you are in the ascending scale."
President Goucher, of the Woman's College, Baltimore :
" I congratulate you and the many friends of the Ohio
Wesleyan University upon the approach of its semi-centen-
nial anniversary. * >}^ * There is no mind sufficiently
comprehensive in its thinking or discriminative in its per-
ceptions to properly estimate the benefit to humanity coming
from the impressions which the Ohio Wesleyan has made upon
the fifteen thousand young men and women who, in the most
formative period of their development, were under your care."

Secretary of Amherst College :
" President Gates requests me to acknov/ledge with thanks
the invitation of the trustees and faculty of the Ohio Wes-
leyan University to be present at the public exercises and
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of
the University. He regrets that his professional duties will
deprive him of the pleasure of attending, and he sends the
hearty congratulations of Amherst College to the University
upon the completion of a ^alf century of useful work and
most honorable history."
President Crawford, of Allegheny College, Pa. :
" The oldest Methodist College west of the Allegheny
Mountains sends greetings to-day to one of her fairest sisters.
The noble record of Ohio Wesleyan University during the
past fifty years is one of which Methodism may be justly
proud. You have been foremost in bringing the advantages
of highest education within the reach of all. The name and
fame of your heroic builders ought never to be forgotten.
There has been something in the surroundings of your insti-
tution which has stimulated to noble living. You have
insisted on big heart as well as big brain. May the mention
of your name always suggest high ideals of education and
nobility of character."
President Raymond, of Wesleyan University, Middletown,
Conn. :
" What a splendid record you have in the fifty years of
your history ! You have grown great in wealth, in numbers,
and in intellectual and spiritual power during these years.
The names of your eminent scholars and teachers rise before
me as I think of you — the name of Thomson, a man of
international fame • * ^ * the name of Merrick, who
has just been raised to a place among the immortals, but
236 Ohio Wesleyan University:
whose spiritual power is still among you, working toward
the great consummation, and the names of many liv-
ing scholars whom we might mention. Your opportu-
nity, both because of your location and of your achieve-
ments in the past and equipment in the present, is full of
promise,"
President Quayle, Baker University, Kansas :
*' Baker University, the oldest college of Western Kansas,
sends greetings to the Ohio Wesleyan University. The Ohio
Wesleyan University is to be congratulated- specially for two
reasons : First, it has shown what phenomenal results may
be achieved by a college adhering strictly to academic work ;
second, it has demonstrated in a remarkable way that schol-
arship and a profound spiritual life may be contempora-
neous."
President Zollars, of Hiram College, O. :
" As a friend of higher education and a citizen of Ohio, I
take pride in the work that you have done and in the honor-
able position to which you have attained. May each suc-
ceeding year of your history be characterized by an ever
increasing measure of success."
President Sproull, of University of Cincinnati :
" The successful completion of the semi-centennial of the
Ohio Wesleyan University is a cause of rejoicing to me, not
so much on account of its past as it is an earnest of
its future prosperity. * * "^ It is the college only that
can bridge the chasm between the rich and the poor. I
rejoice in the prosperity of any college that makes for right-
eousness, but more especially when it is the representative
of a religious body that is in a marked degree the friend of
the poor and humble."

President Super j Ohio University, O. :
" That the influence of the Ohio Wesley an University has
always been thrown strongly in the right direction, every one
knows who knows anything of its history. * * * By
prestige, the O. W: U. stands at the head of the Methodist
institutions of the State and must always be the leading
institution. Would it not be a good thing for Methodism
— for all Methodist educational institutions, by whatever
name called — and for the cause of higher education in gen-
eral, if the current of students could be turned toward
Delaware as the highest educational point in the State, for
in this age currents flow upward as well as downward? "
President Rogers, Northwestern University, 111. :
" This University sends greetings and congratulations to
the Ohio Wesleyan University on the occasion of its semi-
centennial celebration. We rejoice to know of the continued
growth and prosperity of our sister institution. Its progress
has been such as to rejoice all its friends. May it continue
to prosper in the future as it has done in the past."
President Sterling, of Kenyon College, O. :
*' I believe that the salvation of the country depends on
the education of the people in Christian faith and morals,
and that every Christian church has a duty to perform in the
higher education of the people, for in the long run the edu-
cation of the masses is based and depends on the higher
education of the few. In this great work the Methodist
Church is doing her full share, and has set an example which
other churches would do well to follow."
Telegram from President Oilman, of Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity :
*' Congratulations, best wishes, and hearty recognition of
good work accomplished."
238 Ohio Wesley an University:
President Warren, of Boston University :
" Fifty years ago the Ohio Wesleyan University entered
upon its beneficent career. Twenty-five years ago this very
summer, Boston University received its charter and initial
organization. You have the advantage of us by quarter of
a century's experience ; but to us both the beauty and joy of
this advantage is that by virtue of it power is given you to
take us with you into the field of your illustrious achieve-
ments, and to bestow upon us a share in all the fruits of
your ampler life. * * * Through all generations may
the Ohio Wesleyan retain its power of molding men to high-
est ideals, and through these may it mightily hasten the
inbringing of that kingdom for which humanity in all its
better moments has ever longed and labored."
President Sanders, of Otterbein University :
" Otterbein University sends to her neighbor, the Ohio
Wesleyan University, Christian greeting and hearty congrat-
ulations upon the auspicious completion of her first half
century. We bid you Godspeed and pray that this may be
but the stepping-stone to grander things."
President Fiske, of Albion College, Mich. :
"A half century of admirable work has laid the foundation
for many centuries of building of character and inspiration
for noble living. Education divorced from Christianity is a
power dangerous to the individual and the public, and a
spiritual life without the education of the intellect, the
proper guidance of thought, fails to develop the whole man.
* * * May a beneficent Providence smile upon this great
school of learning, and the coming years crown her with
abundant honors."
President Thirkield, of Gammon Theological Seminary,
Ga. :
Fifty Years of History. 239
'' I pay my tribute to the Ohio Wesley an as an institution
that is emphatically Christian and evangelical in her spirit
and influence. Therefore no State institution can fill her
place. She deserves the largest endowment and most gen-
erous support from the Church. These should come, must
come, will come. On this glad anniversary I join you with
grateful heart in rejoicing over the achievements and pros-
pects of our University."
President Kliot, of Harvard :
'^ President Bliot regrets that imperative engagements
make it impossible for him to attend the exercises in celebra-
tion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Ohio Wesleyan Uni-
versity."
Vice-Chancellor Beiler, of Washington University :
'* I hope that you may have the greatest time in the history
of the University, and may the glory of the next fifty years
surpass the glory of the former."
President Scott, of Bareilly Theological School, India :
"And now may I send my jubilee salam (peace) far over
the sea with the prayer that the past fifty years may be but
the earnest of a brilliant fifty years to come, such years as
may make our University famous throughout the world."
Hon. J. G. Woolley, Chicago, 111. :
" It grieves me beyond words to find that I must disappoint
myself about being present at the exercises of commence-
ment week. * * * As for Alma Mater, every cheer for
her past, every plan for her future, every prayer to her God."
President Scovel, of Wooster University, O. :
" It was in my heart to say all I could pack in a sentence
or two. I regard the success of the Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
240 Ohio Wesleyan University:
sity as showing the way to enlarged usefulness in all our
denominational colleges in which, in turn, I think lies largely
Ohio's glory and safety. And I know its success to be con-
sequent upon faithful adherence to religious principles.
Better material of congratulation does not exist for any
institution of learning."
President King, of Cornell College, Iowa :
'' She stands forth among her sister colleges as a bright
Pharos to warn against all forms of error and to guide to the
haven of truth. May she have increasing prosperity and
usefulness in saecula saeculorumy
President Peters, of Heidelberg University, O. :
"We congratulate the Ohio Wesleyan University upon the
glorious record of her history, and upon the position of
influence which she has attained among the literary institu-
tions of our country. May the Christ continue to bless her
with rich effusions of His Spirit, so that as she moves for-
ward in her glorious work of Christian education she may
continue to be a fountain of sound knowledge and wisdom
from which shall issue streams that '' shall make glad the
city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most
High."
President Long, of Antioch College, O. :
" During the checkered half century since your portals
were opened for students, you have achieved results which,
considering all the difficulties of the situation, form a just
occasion for wonder and rejoicing."
STRIKING STATISTICS.
Professor Edward T. Nei^son, M. D., Ph. D., Class of '66.
AIvUMNI DAY.
In 1844, there were thirteen colleges in the State of Ohio,
and also just thirteen under the fostering care of our then
united Methodism. It has been claimed that the Ohio
Wesleyan University was founded to break the spell of that
magic number.
From a business standpoint, another college in the State
was perhaps uncalled for. The entire population was one
and a half millions. Columbus was a straggling town of the
Western type, with a population of 6,048, according to a
census just completed. Cleveland was her equal with 6,070.
Dayton was a town of 4,268 people, while Delaware was com-
pelled to count in the entire township in order to reach her
first thousand. The thirteen^ existing colleges averaged
only one hundred students each, while not less than two of
them did not have at the time a student in the collegiate de-
partment. And yet, the founding of the Ohio Wesleyan was
demanded alike by the Church and the State. Methodism
was represented by two annual conferences — the Ohio and
the North Ohio — having a combined membership of 95,322,
including Negroes and Indians, and a force of 262 effective
preachers. The Baptists had their college at Granville ; the
Episcopalians, one at Gambler ; the Congregationalists had
their Oberlin, and the Presbyterians had their hands on no
less than three — Marietta, the Western Reserve at Hudson,
and Oxford, a State institution. It seemed to our fathers
242 Ohio Wesley an University:
that Methodism should have one seat of learning distinct-
ively her own.
The State demanded this new college, as it has all that
have followed it, for the reason that institutions of culture,
like concretions in the earth, grow most from the particles
nearest at hand.
Fifty years ago, Methodism had an uneducated ministry
and an uneducated membership. It has been estimated that
not more than one in twenty of its ministers had even an
academic education. How could it be otherwise, when our
Church had not a single theological school within all of its
boundaries, and when her institutions of learning, of whatever
grade, were few in number, feeble in resources and influence,
and widely scattered? Wesleyan in Connecticut, the mother
of all Wesleyans, had graduated only i lo persons up to the
year 1844 ; Augusta, of Kentucky, 125 ; Indiana Asbury,
now DePauw, 27 ; in all, 262 for Northern and Western
Methodism. Wesleyan had given to Ohio but one minister —
James Oilman Blair, who joined the Ohio Conference ; two
teachers — Wilbur, of Cincinnati, and Dwight, of Berea ; two
lawyers — Ivincoln, of Cincinnati, and Converse, of Sandusky ;
one business man — Van Valkenburg, of Cincinnati, and
facile princeps our own Merrick, a student but not a gradu-
ate. Indiana Asbury had not loaned a single one of its
graduates, lay or clerical, to the State of Ohio. Augusta,
smallest but kindest of the three, had given us a basketful of
giants, destined to become leaders among us. No wonder
that we have adopted the orphans of Augusta, and given
them a place at our tables and in our hearts.
These statistics show that Ohio Methodism could not
depend upon institutions of learning in distant States, nor
after the division of 1844, upon one on Southern soil. There
was a place for the Ohio Wesleyan University.
Fifty Years of History. 243
During the fifty years of our history, we have given to the
churches, to schools and colleges, to law, to medicine, to
business, to the farm, to the American home, an army of
educated, cultured, and for the most part, of consecrated
Christian men and women, now numbering two thousand one
hundred and eighty-seven. In this statement we make no
mention of a still larger host, estimated at twe7tty thousand
of young people who thrqnged our halls for a longer or
shorter period, but who did not graduate.
Mere cold figures can never truly represent history, espe-
cially when that history concerns even the earthly side of
an endless life. What does it mean to us to be told that four
hundred and ten of the Alumni of the Ohio Wesleyan Uni-
versity have entered the ministry of some Christian faith,
and that already more than six thousand five hundred years
of service stand to their credit — a year of service for each
year in the history of the world since the birth of Adam.
The results of such service are known only by Him to
whom all history is an open book.
The Methodist Episcopal Church, as is to be expected,
has gained most largely from this institution, but it is a mat-
ter for profound gratitude that our Alumni, many of whom
were converted while in attendance at the University, have
entered the ministry of sister denominations. The exact
figures are as follows :
Methodist Episcopal 365
Presbyterian 17
Congregational 10
Episcopalian 4
Baptist 2
German Reformed 2
Friends 2
The Missionary record of the Ohio Wesleyan is one of
which we may be justly proud, and which compares most
favorably with that of other institutions of Methodism. It is

a matter of some interest to determine who was our first
Missionary. Was it Sheldon of '51, who, a few months after
graduation, was sent by the Church to California, then a field
as wild and uninviting as any in the world ? Was it our first
preceptress, Minnie Rockwell, who, April 12, 1859, sailed out
of the harbor of New York bound for India and Heaven ?
Was it *Sites of '59, who, in June, 1861, sailed out of New
York for China, which he reached after a voyage of 10 1 days ?
Or was it Scott of '61, who, in the same year, set out for
India to fulfill a vow made long before ? This is no time for
fine distinctions. We honor alike these pioneers and the
sixty-one other graduates who have followed them on this
heroic crusade. Nor shall we forget the fifteen under-gradu-
ates who went with them and equaled them in consecration.
Our roll of Missionaries contains the names of eighty persons.
They have gone into India and China, to Japan and Korea,
to Mexico and Costa Rica, to Chili, Brazil and the Argentine
Republic, to Armenia, Turkey and Bulgaria — every Mission
field of our Church, with the exception of Africa.
An alumnus in the " Fifties,'^ walking off the platform,
diploma in hand, remarked to a classmate, " Now, I am a
college graduate. It will not be necessary for me to open
another book." To him, as to many others, a college educa-
tion was the goal of the very highest ambition — the ultima
thule of culture. Graduates went at once into the ministry
and the professorship, and almost as quickly into law and
medicine. Post-graduate schools were for the most part un-
known or had little attraction for a man of academic training.
Carpenter of '51, Richards of '59, and Atkinson of '61, three
men of true-blooded Presbyterian stock, went into the min-
istry of their denomination through the theological seminary,
but it was not until the Fall of 1864 that any Methodist boy
* Since the writing of this paper, Dr. Sites has died at his post of honor in China.
I
Fifty Years of History, 245
preacher felt called to prepare professionally for his impor-
tant life-work. John W. Peters, of '64, pastor of our church
at Hamilton, O., has the honor of being the first alumnus of
Methodist antecedents to secure the degree of " B. D." His
example soon became contagious, and to-day few graduates
enter upon the work of the Methodist ministry without the
preparation that comes from closest professional study under
wise teachers in the schools of the Prophets.
One hundred and fourteen of our Alumni, counting those
now attending the seminaries, have graduated with the
degree of " S. T. B," or that of '' B. D." These men are
demonstrating to the world and the Church the value of
Christian education and consecrated professional training for
the work of the ministry.
What is true for theology is as true for the sciences and
for general literature. It was not until the sixties that our
Alumni turned their attention to the post-graduate work
offered by some of the older universities of this country and
of Europe.
So far as our records show, the honor of undertaking post-
graduate study, as a preparation for professorial or profes-
sional life, falls to two members of the class of '66, and that
class won the first " A. M." and the first '' Ph. D." given to
the Alumni of the Ohio Weslyan University on examination.
Less than thirty years have passed and the record has grown
to the following proportions :
Ph. D 43
Litt. D I
Ph. M I
Ph. C. 2
Ph. B 2
A. M 14
A. B 9
M. B. I
C. B I
Ped. M. ........... . I
The. Master's degree, as given in this table, does not refer
to the cases where our Alumni have taken examination at
246 Ohio Wesleyan University:
the Ohio Wesleyan University, but only to those who have
won the honor as a result of direct post-graduate study while
in residence at some other institution.
Recently, the Ohio State University granted the degree
of Doctor of Philosophy upon the completion of a most
severe course of study, to Miss Lucy A. Booth, class of '81,
who has in this way honored the Ohio Wesleyan no less than
she has honored herself. We touch our hats to Doctor
Booth, the first woman graduate to reach this scholastic dis-
tinction.
A passion for study and research seems to have been begotten
in these later years, and our Alumni, as well as those of other
colleges and universities, are inflamed. It was once a great
thing to graduate at an academy. Then the college became
the goal of highest ambition. Post-graduate work for a time
satisfied. Now it is post-graduate work with honors, fellow-
ships, prizes for research and study in Europe. Our Alumni
are on the front line and making the advances.
Much has been said, and most justly, against mere honor-
ary degrees, and yet they are an indication of worth and cul-
ture. We must remember that we are just passing our half-
century milestone, and in the early years of our history our
graduates were but few. Time is required in which to
develop reputation and general recognition. When the last
Quinquennial was published, twenty-eight of our Alumni had
been made Doctors of Divinity. To-day the number is
sixty-three. Then, the highest of all degrees — Doctor of
Laws — had been conferred upon but four of our graduates ;
now the number is eleven.
Perhaps the quest for fullest preparation is nowhere
seen to better advantage than in the case of those students
who enter upon the study and practice of the law. Our
earlier graduates were admitted to the bar by act of the
Fifty Years of History, 247
Court of Common Pleas on a simple motion. There was
supposed to be two years' reading and an examination of the
candidates by the local attorneys, always more or less preju-
diced in their favor. The passage of a law by the legislature
of Ohio, placing the whole matter in the hands of the Judges
of the Supreme Court of the State, called attention to the
great necessity for a better preparation. As a result, our
students after three years of Academic training in our pre-
paratory department and four years in the college proper,
are flocking to the schools of law for direct professional gain.
More than one hundred have taken a course in some one of
the law schools of the country and seventy have graduated
with the degree of LL. B. As a result, our men are standing
well to the front. They are able advocates, profound jurists,
illustrious judges on the bench of State and Nation.
Two hundred and eighty-nine of our Alumni have been
admitted to the practice of the law, though all of these have
not accepted the responsibilities of the high profession.
More than one in ten have been permitted to wear the
ermine.
There is only one open door into the medical profession,
and that is through the college and the degree of " M. D."
Notwithstanding its many exacting toils, there has always
been a fascination in the studies required, even though there
was no intention of entering upon the active practice. One
hundred and eight of our graduates have been enabled to
wear the degree, while only ninety-eight have practiced
Medicine, and a score of these for a short time only.
The advance in Medicine is best shown by the establish-
ment of Post-graduate school, Polyclinics, and Laboratories
of Research. To these our students are turning in numbers,
for that better and more scientific study of the human body and
its diseases demanded by the stirring age in which we live.
248 Ohio Wesley an University:
Time fails me in which to speak as I should like of those
who have entered upon the other professions or engaged in
the several lines of honorable business and trade. Forty-six
have attempted to mould public opinion by the editor's pen,
and grandly have they served their day and honored their
Alma Mater. Who among us has had a greater opportunity
for true heroic service than our veteran, youthful editor,
Edwards, of '58, who is to-day celebrating the completion of
thirty years of editorial work on the columns of a single paper.
We find our men in the bank, in the store, on the farm —
everywhere where men are needed and where work is
to be done. One work has demanded the attention of our
great host as perhaps no other.
The Great Teacher said, " Freely ye have received, freely
give." It is, therefore, not strange that college students
and university graduates become teachers. They have had
examples set before them for many years. Their whole life
has been spent in the atmosphere of the school. Many have
as clear a call to teach as others have to preach the Gospel
of Christ. Our Alumni are to be found to-day in schools of
all grades and in all the States. Two score have been col-
lege presidents ; seven score, college professors ; hundreds,
instructors in academies and in the public schools. Two
thousand years of college, six hundred years in academy,
thirty-four hundred years in public schools — such is our
record. What armies of children and youth have been edu-
cated, trained, lifted into the light during these six thousand
years of service. What a mighty result to follow in one-half
century from that feeble beginning in 1844, when twenty-
nine students answered to their names at our first chapel
service. What a glorious monument to the Church which
created the faculty that inspired the teachers that led forth
these armies !
Fifty Years of History. 249
One other side of our history must not be overlooked.
Before the Ohio Wesleyan Female College had arrived at its
first birthday, arrangements for the full and permanent con-
solidation of that institution with the University had been
completed — by two students. That union proved so fortu-
nate that it has tempted one hundred and forty-five other
graduating lads to link their lives and their fortunes with
one hundred and forty-five graduating lasses. There have
been built up one hundred and forty-six American homes in
which both husband and wife are Alumni of this institution
— with many more to follow. I am under bond not to tell
all I know on this theme so interesting to us all.
I have not forgotten for a single moment that this paper
has been worded as if all our graduates were men, when in
fact I have been appointed to represent all our graduates,
hundreds of whom are young women, as well as also the four
hundred and eleven Alumnse of the Ohio Wesleyan Female
College, who are ours by both love and adoption. All that
has been said about our brothers will apply as well to them.
They have their representatives in the Ministry ; more than
one has stood pleading, as only a woman can plead, in the
presence of a judge in the court of justice ; many have
studied medicine and have accepted the practice with all of
its toil; at least two have had the entire management of
large and important farming enterprises, and have succeeded ;
several are the owners of stores, and some have married.
When we think of our missionaries, we recall the names of
as many of our Alumnae as of our Alumni, and their service
is as important and as successful. The teachers of the
common schools of this State are women, and our college has
furnished its quota. The Alumnae are taking post-graduate
study in art and in science, in philosophy and in history,
and in the higher mathematics. Already they hold many
250 Ohio Wesley an University :
important chairs in our colleges and universities, and progress
never takes a backward step.
The Ohio Wesleyan — our Alma Mater — has 2,187 children.
Sixty of these are in fact grandchildren, the children of
Alumni. Great grandchildren have already been enrolled in
the University and will be graduated in due time. Three
thousand other grandchildren and great grandchildren have
been reported as the students for the coming half century.
Our semi-centennial has one tinge of sadness — all are not
here to-day. Some of our number have fallen asleep. Two
hundred and five have " crossed the river and are resting
under the trees."
Such are the statistics of our first half century. If we
have done little of which the world boasts, there is less which
we must hide from sight, — a tramp or two, — a half-dozen
men and women buried under the weight of drink and
opiates — a handful of failures through weak will and lack of
purpose — these must not count against the glorious deeds of
our ministers and missionaries, our lawyers, doctors and
teachers, and the pure and ennobling characters of our wives
and daughters.
The Ohio Wesleyan University is the Child of Providence
and a monument to the devotion of God's people. Its birth
was with pain and sacrifice. It was nursed by the tears and
prayers of a holy people. It has been sustained by the love
of the Church. Its semi-centennial is crowned, as we believe,
with the benedictions of heaven and the plaudits of her own
sons and daughters.

QUINQUENNIAL CATALOGUE
OF THE
ALUMNA
OF THE
OHIO WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE,
1853-1894.
Ohio Wesleyan Female College.
853-1877.
The Ohio Wesleyan Female College, chartered April i,
1853, was formally united with the Ohio Wesleyan Uni-
versity, August 6, 1877, at which time, in the opinion of
•even many of its own graduates, the " O. W. F. C." ceased
to exist as a separate institution, but a careful examination
of the record made by the four hundred and eleven persons
who hold its diploma will show that the institution still
lives, and is making history. A college is not a pile of
buildings, nor yet a board of trustees and an endowment,
but a collection of human lives that have been lifted and
•ennobled by its unseen influence.
In the long list which follows, there will be found the
names of those who have won deserved honors in school and
college, in the several learned professions, and in the mission
fields of the world. Incomplete and imperfect as is the com-
pilation of statistics, the record compares most favorably
with that of the Alumni which precedes it, while woman's
liighest ministries — those of home and church — cannot be
recorded on paper.
No one can be as conscious as the editor of the many
errors and omissions of this attempted history. No roll of
residences, marriages and deaths, of attainments and honors,
has been preserved in the College. Former lists were found
Fifty Years of History, 465,
to be incomplete, names having been omitted which were
recorded in the minutes of the Board of Trustees.
In a few instances, diplomas, properly signed and attested,,
were found in the possession of women whose names had
not been preserved in catalogue or other college roll. In the
collection of material for this report, circulars were sent to
each Alumna whose address could be obtained. Letters
were also sent to one or more members of each class, to the
Alumnae Association, and to our church papers. Through
these agencies, we have reached three-fourths of the whole
number of graduates. Of many others, we simply know that
they married and moved to the "West."
It is to be hoped that all persons having information con-
cerning the Alumnae will report the same to the editor, for
publication in the University paper, and for future editions-
of this catalogue.
