WILLIAM ANTHONY GRANVILLE Sixth President of Gettysburg College, 1910- . R. GRANVILLE was born of Lutheran parents on the home farm near gli White Rock, Minn., on December I6, IS63. He was the only son. gli but has four sisters. His parents were born in Sweden, but they first fy 1 I: met in Galesburg, Ill., where they were married by Rev. Dr. T. N. Hasselquist, the first minister of the Swedish Augustana Synod in the United States. The devoutly religious atmosphere, the healthful coun- try surroundings, and the obligations to industry and frugality which were Dr. Gran- ville's daily privilege and experience as a child, developed in him the stirring spirituality, the exceptional physique, the habits of earnest work, and the power for special achievement that have made him one ot our greatest American personalities. Dr. Granville is a typically self-made man. During his early boyhood he made himself useful about the farm and attended the neighboring country school. Subsequently, he .went to a village school of higher grade during the winters,and worked daily on the farm during the sum- mers. From the age of I4 he did a man's work. He had entire charge of the home farm until he was Zl. By that time he succeeded in paying oft the heavy mortgage on the farm and thus placing his parents in comfortable circumstances. What a story of devotion, industry, sacri- fice and soul is indicated by this simple recital of his boy- hood deeds. 1870 In IS82, as soon as his home duties permitted, Dr. Granville entered Gustavus Adolphus College, a Lutheran institution at St. Peter, Minn.. where, for a period of two years, he pursued his studies with great diligence and success. He devoted one of his summer vacations to teaching the first term in a new school house on the northern Minnesota frontier near St. Hilaire-a trading post for the Indian reser- vation in the Red River valley. The sessions of his school were frequently interrupted by Indians who, to the discomhture of the scholars, at such times peered through the windows and intently observed the proceedings. The athletic figure and courageous car- riage of the young school master were doubtless impressive suggestions to any such In- dians Uhunting trouble that they would promptly be accommodated if any of them started something . Dr. Granville had learned how to master himself. He learned at St. Hilaire how to win and to hold the esteem of the aborigines. Yale tradition has it that Granville learned at Sl. Hilaire how to t ame the wild men of Yale +Gettysburg Freshmen and Sophomores take notice! Dr. Granvillels academic career has been a very striking and instructive one. He worked his way along, from be- ginning to end, without gratuitous financial assistance of any Page Six 's
