HINCOLN HULLEY was born in New Jersey. He was educated at tlie Soutli Chester Grammar School and supplemented this training witli a preparatory course at the Keystone Academy, which fitted him for entering Bucknell University with the Class of 1888. In his prepara- tory and college work, he came into close contact with two figures who stand out very prominently in the history of this University — Dr. John H. Harris and Dr. D. J. Hill. In his post-graduate courses at Harvard and Chicago, he was also thrown under the influence of men of such keen intellect as Presi- dent Elliot and President Harper. Hardly had young Hulley started upon his class work at Bucknell be- fore he gave evidence of those mental characteristics which were to later give him rank in educational circles. He was awarded the prize for the best entrance preparation in Greek, Latin and Mathematics. A prize for an editorial in the college paper, the Sophomore essay and Junior oratory prizes, the Senior Psychology Prize, honorable mention for the Commence- ment Oration prize, and first honors and valedictory of the class, were among the other scholastic honors won by him during his four years at Bucknell. To these may also be added one of the three money prizes open to all college Seniors in the United States for a Tariff Essay, which was awarded to him in 1888 by the American Protective Tariff League of New York. After graduating from Bucknell in 1888, Mr. Hulley spent a year in graduate work at Harvard, returning to the Lewisburg institution in 1889 to serve as an instructor in mathematical sciences. In 1892-93 he was a Fellow in Semitic languages at Chicago. He again returned to Bucknell the following year to take the chair in the Department of History. His rela- tions with this University continued until 1904 when he received and ac- cepted a call to the presidency of Stetson University, DeLand, Florida, where he is at present located. Professor Hulley was ordained as a Baptist clergyman in 1890 and while still pursuing his duties at the L niversity, preached for two years in Phila- delphia to the Temple Baptist Church. A few years later he performed similar ser ice for the Emanuel Baptist Church at Baltimore. He devoted the summer vacations of 1897 and 1899 to historical study in Europe, and
