V ga af. 7-fwf 1 iffmx rf: gg ggg- .-..- - .-. gl'lAMPDEN'SlDNEY KALEIDOSCOPE Dr. W. W. Moore mm , HIS distinguished theologian, teacher, and prince of preachers was born at V Charlotte, N. C., June I4, IS57, a descendent on both sides of sterling Scotch-Irish strain. Left an orphan at six years of age he spent his early youth f helping to support his widowed mother and his brother and sister. While still but a lad he showed himself to be the possessor of great literary talent and it is related that at the age of fourteen he wrote Wild West stories as interesting as any of the dime novels of the time. In l872 Dr. Moore entered the famous Finley High School at Lenoir, N, C., and from there he entered Davidson College, graduating in l878 and leaving behind him a lasting memory of his eloquence as a speaker and debater. The following September he was enrolled at Union Theological Seminary, then at Hampden-Sidney, where his untiring spirit and matchless energy in his studies made him facile principem among his classmates. His close attention to his work, however, began to break down his health which was never robust and he was forced to take a. rest before going into the active work of preaching the gospel. After two years of active work as pastor and evangelist he was brought back to Union Theological Seminary to become Assistant Instructor in Hebrew. From this time on until his death, June I4, l926, he remained on the faculty of Union, serving as Assistant Instructor in Hebrew, Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Literature, Old Testament Lecturer, and President, filling this last office from its creation until just before his death. While a member of the faculty of the Seminary Dr. Moore, although he first opposed the change, was instrumental in the removal of that institution from Hampden- Sidney to its present location in Richmond. In the removal of the Seminary and the rebuilding on the new site he labored in season and out of season for the building of the greatest institution of its kind in the bounds of the Southern Presbyterian Church in order that men might be trained for preaching and teaching the gospel that he loved so much. Dr. Moore's life was many sided: like a well cut diamond it had many facets, and each shone brilliantly. As a preacher he excelled in all the traits that make a great preacher. He was a teacher with few, if any, superiors. As a leader he was safe, sane and able, a great executive and administrator, In the social life he shone with a brilliancy of wit and pleasingly eclifying conversation that made him the center of an always interested and interesting group. As a friend Dr. Moore was cordial, sympathetic, and helpful as hundreds can testify. From l904 until the time of his death Dr. Moore was a member of the Board of Trustees of Hampden-Sidney College and in this capacity he worked unceasingly for the raising of the moral tone and the scholastic standing of the College and in cementing the bonds between this institution and the Seminary. -THE EDITORS U61
