' What thou wilt Thou must rather enforce it with a smile Thau hew it with thy sword. ' AT the beginning of that memorable conflict of vital issues between the North and the South, there was born in the town of Mergsville, Morgan County, Ohio, August 28, 1861, one whose motto has been, Work . This was Jasper Converse Barnes. His father, Abraham Barnes, came from England to the city of Brotherly Love with his parents, and afterwards to Ohio. His mother, Margaret Welsh Barnes, was of Scotch-Irish descent, and her parents moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio in the early part of the nineteenth century. Thus the sturdy character of the English, combined with the persever- ance of the Scotch-Irish, constitutes the element which is so char- acteristic of the man. flHe received his early education in the public schools of his native town, in the McConnelsville High School, and the Mus- kingum Valley Normal School. At the age of sixteen he was granted a teacher ' s certificate and taught school for five years. Spending two years in preparatory work in Marietta Academy he entered Marietta College in the fa ll of 1SSG. He worked his way through and graduated from this institution in the classical course with honors in 1S90, receiving the A. B. degree. Later 5

he received the A. M. degree from the same institution. In the public schools, the academy, and the college, he made most of his opportunities, being active in both Christian and literary work. During his senior year in college he was president of the Psi Gamma Literary Society, and chairman of the Oratorical Asso- ciation. flUpon graduation from college his efforts were rewarded by his election to the superintendency of the public schools of Belpre, Ohio, and to the principalship of the high school. This was one of the best schools in Southeastern Ohio, and he proved his effi- ciency in the management of these schools. In 1892 his services were sought at Maryville as principal of the Preparatory Depart- ment, which he accepted. The next year the chair of Science and Art of Teaching was added to his work. He continued in this capacity until 1901, when he was elevated to the chair of Psychol- ogy and Political Science. flDr. Barnes has done his graduate study in the University of Chicago, Cornell, and Wooster during the summer vacations. This summer work was begun in the University of Wooster, where he received his Ph. D., in 1900. In the summer of 1895 he began his study in the University of Chicago, where he has since spent five summers. The summer of 1901 was spent in Cornell Uni- versity studying Experimental Psychology under Professor Titch- ener. flDr. Barnes was elected a member of the Gamma Chapter of the Beta Kappa Society of Marietta College in 1890. In 1892 he was granted a life certificate by the State Board of School Exam- iners. He was made a member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science in 1905. For several years he has served as deacon in the Presbyterian church, with which he united at the age of twenty. TjThis is the career, thus far, of one who has spent a life in faithful service, being promoted from time to time for his ability and integrity. And yet he is in the prime of life, fully prepared to impart his thorough knowledge and training to those who come 6
