RAVELINGS Prof. SussfU ral am Russell Graham was born in Reynoldsburg ' , O., February 24, 1847. In 1850 the family left Ohio to seek a new home in the west and after experiencing all the thrills of life in a prairie schooner settled near Somonauk, 111. Here Prof. Graham g-rew up, attending a little country school for the foundation of his education. When he was eighteen years old he left Somonauk to attend the old Monmouth Academy. From there he entered the college. In college he was loved by all who knew him. He com- bined a desire for knowledge with a propensity for enjoyment and fellowship. It has been stated by an eye witness that in these days Russ, as they called him, was some- thing of what we now call a crush and was forever and anon falling victim to Cupid ' s darts, and furthermore — murder will out — he worried little about the ten- thirty rule. But he was at all times a faithful and earnest student, careful of each smallest detail. The friendships he formed in those days he still carries with him. When he graduated from Monmouth, in 1870, he entered the Xenia Theological Seminary, graduating there in 1873. He was called to Biggsville when he graduated from Xenia and was pastor there until 1886 when he was called to the Chair of Social Science in his Alma Mater. This was a recognition of the faithful work he had done while a student here and the fact that he has held this position for twenty-five years only further proves his worth. For one year during his professorship here he, in conjunction with Prof. Swan, was at the head of the institution. For thirty years he has faithfully served as a member of the United Presbyterian Board of Education and through him Monmouth has been the recipient ,of many benefactions. His whole life has been wrapped up in the college and its progress. He has al- ways been a friend to the student. Success, real success, has been his, for, knowing, he has taught others to know, and loving all, him all love.
