2' tb dmc ,,,, 4 Br. Elhnmzw 3F2ll,A.E., !lIH.A.,lHli.E..lI.1'li'.E.,B.0l.E. A R. THOMAS l lCl.l., the twelfth president of St. john's College, was born in Liverpool, lingland, on july 15th, 1851. V, XVhen he was six years old he was enrolled in the Royal 9 lnstitution School at Liverpool, and here studied for nine years--1857-1866. ln the latter part of 1866 he went to London, and was matriculated at Kings College. Four years later he entered the University of London, and remained there three years. He was also a student at the University of Munich for one year. Dr. Fell began his active work in life in tiduciary capacity in lingland, serving under the Bishop of London as lay reader from 1876 to ISSO. For two years thereafter he traveled through India, China, Formosa and Ceylon. In 1882 he came to America, and two years later he was elected Professor of Ancient Languages at New W'indsor College, New Windsor, Md. Dr. Fell in 1886 became president of St. john's College, and has held that position since. This yea1', 1886, marks the beginning of a new era for our institution. Dr. Fell's untiring energies soon asserted themselves, and the mortgage of 830,000.00 was paid off. He also succeeded in raising money to build three of the tinest' buildings on the campus, namely, XfVoodward Hall, Randall Hall and the new gynmasium. The number of students has been increased, and as a whole the College has been strengthened both in discipline and in the character of the work done. Dr. Fell is an active member of the following organizations: The American Philological Association, The American Academy of l olitical Sciences, The National liducational Association, the l'hi Sigma Kappa lfraternity, The Uni- versity lilect of Baltimore and The Cliosphic Society of Princeton University. The following honorary degrees have been conferred upon him: Doctor of Laws, by Hampden-Sidney College of Virginia, in 1889g Doctor of Philosophy, by St. .lohn's College, Annapolis, Md., in 19o7g Doctor of Civil Laws, by the University of the South, Suwanee, Tenn., in 1907, and Doctor of Laws, by the University of Pittsburgh, in 1912. The affiliation of St. John's with the University of Maryland, Baltimore, is one of Dr. Fell's accomplishments. Since this he has been prominently connected in the University, and in january, 1913, he was chosen provost by the Board of Regents to hll the place left vacant by the death of Bernard Carter. This position gave Dr. Fell a wider Field to display his talents, and already a project is on foot for a State University. If it is accomplished, it will be mainly through Dr. Fell's ability as an organizer. ' 17
