KENNEDY, now Professor of Latin and French in Erskine College, was born in Abbeville Co., Nov. 2, 1871. His boyhood days were spent in historic Due West where he received his elementary education. At an early age he entered Erskine College, from which institution he graduated in 1889, leaving behind a fine record. After graduation, Prof. Kennedy taught school for four years in South Carolina and Alabama. In 1892, he was elected to the chair of Greek and German in Erskine College which position he filled for two years. Having determined to take a course of study in Yale, he entered that university in the fall of 1894 and received the degree of Master of Arts the following year. A year later he entered Erskine Theological Seminary where he took the B. D. degree in 1898. For the next fifteen years, he labored as an efficient minister. His first pas- torate was at Bartow, Florida, where he was very instrumental in the building up of that congregation. ,From Bartow he was called to Abbeville, S. C., at which church he was the beloved pastor for eight years. ln the fall of 1913, the chair of Latin and French falling vacant, he was elected to that position which he at present occupies. Since coming to Erskine his scholarly attainments, gentlemanly manner. and friendly courtesy have won for him the esteem of the students, and they feel that in him they may find a true friend and helper. 7 ?'w ' ' '
