Glltztnriellnr militant Eagarh Olratgi ILLIAM BAYARD CRAIG was born of Scotch-Irish parentage, in St. John, New Brunswick, December 7, 1846. After receiving an ordinary school education he entered upon a business career, coming in 1867 to the great West. In Chicago he came under influences which changed the course of his life. Formerly a skeptic, he became an enthusiastic religionist. Looking to the Christian ministry he entered college being graduated from the State University of Iowa in 1872. After two years' graduate work at Yale he refused flattering offers from Chicago and elsewhere and returned to Iowa City to become the pastor of his college church. After seven years of fruitful labor in Iowa City he undertook the work in Denver, Colorado. at a time when there was but one Christian church in all the state ln a twelve years ministry in that city he built two large city churches, and won the love and respect of church men and educators throughout the state. During this period his business ability and experience enabled him, in addition to his church work to successfully engage in various commercial enterprises, making large and remunerative investments in mines and real estate The years 1894 to 1897 he labored as pastor in San Antonio Texas, coming thence to Des Moines to become the chancellor of Drake University Spending his boyhood within sound of the mighty sea his young manhood on lowa's broad prairies, his middle life within sight of the lofty mountains of Colorado he stands to-day in full maturity of years, the embodiment of a spirit deep, broad and big, a spirit which plans great things and has the indomitable will and energy to carry out its purposes. At the time of Chancellor Craigs coming Drake University was trying to rally from the financial crisis through which it, together with other institutions of its kind had passed occasioned by the general business depression of the period. Since then a debt of over comprising the Univer ity have been reorganized and brought into a closer union, and in this way the foundations laid for a true university, with science and arts and professional colleges working harmoniously together, as far as the limited financial resources have permitted, the different departments have been strengthened in men and equipmentg and a growth little short of phenomenal has been the result, a growth which has compelled the attention of the city and state and giv n promise of a future enlargement, even beyond the expectations of those who in great hope founded the institution less than a generation ago. Chancellor and Mrs Craig through their large acquaintance in the city and state, through their position in social and educational circles have given the University a prestige and standing to be secured in no other way. With large faith in God and men may Chancellor Craig yet see many years of constant fulfillment of his faith, in the growth and prosperity of an institution which stands for the Christian education of the young men and women of our state and nation. fSignedJ W.
