Here he was awarded a Scholarship to Col- umbia Institute, Vlfashington D. C. from which he received his A. M. degree. In 1915 he was graduated from the U. C. Sem- inary, St. Paul. During the years from 1908 until 1912, he was engaged as teacher at St. Olaf College. Rev. Molldrem served as pastor at Starbuck, Canada, in 1915-1916. From thence he was called to NYinchester, Wiscon- sin, where he labored from 1916 to 1919. In that year he ac- cepted the presidency of Central XYisconsin Co1lege. Here he has worked hard and iaithiully the past tour years Becauseol his intense interest in the school and the weliare oi the young people who are trequenting it, he has been untiring in his ei- forts. We know for a certainty that his earnest endeavor shall not be in vain, it will bear fruit sooner or later. Had it not been for his able leadership during these years, which have been so trying, our school would perhaps not have at- tained the position it holds today. At the time the Academy was destroyed by fire. he did not give up in despair but work- ed vvith reinforced zeal. Wie were spurred on by his cheerful spirit and resolved to do our best, in spite oi the misfortune. VVe are now able to look bravely into the future to a Hourish- ing and progressive college. Our earnest desire is that Rev. Mollclrem may continue to labor at our school for many years to come.
