l in Memmiam JESSE C. CALDWELL ll'I'l-llf UNIVERSITY and the Disciples ot Christ have lost one ot their outstanding scholars in the tield ot church history in the passing ot Dr. Jesse Cobb Caldwell, said Dr. Seth Slaughter, dean ot the college ot the Bible. Betore becoming dean ot the Dralce college ot the Bible, Dr. Caldwell was president ot Atlantic Christian college in Wilson, N. C. Born in Clay county, Missouri, the educator received his bachelor ot arts degree from Transylvania college in Lexing- ton, Ky., in I896, and was graduated trom the Bible college there the tollowing year. Six years later he received a bachelor ot divinity degree trom the Yale divinity school. Atter being ordained to the ministry ot the Disciples ot Christ church in I897, Dean Caldwell served as pastor ot churches in Kentucky, Alabama and North Carolina. For three years betore his death on February 22, I94I, the tormer dean was a protessor ot the history ot religions in Drake's college ot the Bible. The present Dean ot the Bible college, Dean Slaughter, also stated that it will be very ditticult' to replace him. l-lis gracious personality will be missed by every member ot the taculty. l-le loved to teach and missed very tew classes in the 25 years he had been at Drake. ln an editorial commemorating the beloved educator, The Des iwcrirrrex T1'ib'irnv stated that there are a good many hundred Protestant ministers here in the middle west, not to mention a multitude ot lay persons to whom the death ot Dr. Caldwell will recall the deep intluence that he had upon their lives. Dr. Caldwell had been dean ot the Drake university Bible college tor 20 years prior to his retirement trom that position in I937. But even then his love ot activity and ot teaching induced him to continue to bring students around him as protessor ot the history ot religion. As with two other Dralce leaders who passed away, this year, Dr. Caldwell's lite had in many ways been entwined with the growth ot the university itselt. His leadership will e missed there, as well as in the Disciples ot Christ organization. ' I 0
