Opening the door in November, 1843, we should find Charles Franklin Stockwell busy at his task of being principal, professor, preacher, and promoter of the eight year old AVesleyan Seminary. This young man of twenty-six years must have left the East and Wesleyan Univer- sity of Connecticut with the spirit of the pioneer or missionery. The affairs of the Sem- inary were made to run so smoothly that Mr. Stockwell had time for the mental recreation of studying law and being admitted to the bar during his two year administration in Albion. A higher honor came to him in his capacity of Albion ' s most eligible bachelor — he won for a wife, Miss Louise Peabody, the daughter of Al- bion ' s first white settler. Unfortunately Mr. Stockwell ' s life of prospective usefulness was cut short, for at the age of thirty- three years lie was stricken with fever and died. The Seminary Trustees were evidently pleased by the leadership of AVesleyan Univer- P Invert educational institution having two or more teachers has its principal ; every col- lege has its president. Many tales, true or false, have had the office of the principal or president as their source. To be summoned to the principal ' s office means reward or ruin; to be invited to the president ' s office gives promise of almost anything. What boy in his school days has not been called to his principal ' s office for merited praise — or equally merited punish- ment? What college man has not visited his president to experience that description-evad- ing thrill which conies to the student visitor who crosses the threshold of the office? Let us open the office doors of Albion ' s principals and presidents of a century to see those men upon whose shoulders have rested the responsibilities of the institution. We must begin by entering the Central Building, built in 1843, and looking for the office of the first principal of the Wesleyan Seminary. We can end our visit of one hun- dred years by entering Robinson Hall, of 1923, and looking for the office of the ninth president of Albion College.
