HALL. l I tai . of IQOI has always prided itself in using the best of g 5 lf' judgment in whatever it has done, and that it has used this Y in some cases at least is verified in the choice of its class professor. Edwin L. Hall was born at Richfield, Summit , County, Ohio. Like so many other prominent men now on 45 the stage of active life, he lived on a farm 5 but he desired to know something beyond the stumps between which he planted his corn. He obtained the earlier part of his education at the district school and later at the high school of that place. Then he came to Hiram, entering as a student in the preparatory department, and was graduated from this institution with the degree of A. B. in 1886. Immediately after his graduation he was chosen as assistant professor in Latin. But no college life is complete without some romance. While he was a student in Hiram, he became acquainted with Miss Katherine L. Beatty, a member of his own class, to whom he was married in the summer of 1887.

graduation he received the degree of A. M. Soon shadows began to gather, and February 14, 1889, his wife was taken from him, and also little Charlie, who was then only a few weeks old. In ISQO, he married Miss Elizabeth Cook. He was chosen as class professor of the class of IQOI in the fall of '97, and since then many pleasant evenings have been spent in his home, made delightfulpby the hospitality of Mrs. Hall. Professor Hall's students will remember him not only asa thorough teacher, but as a thoughtful, helpful friend. He haslbeen very loyal to his class, always wearing the comet and star. The relations of IQOI with its class professor have always been of the pleasantest and most helpful nature. We have always found him a faithful counsellor and sympathetic friend. We cannot express the grati- tude that glows within our hearts, but we will endeavor to testify it in our future lives by dedicating all that we are, and all we may attain to the promotion of virtue and the good of humanity.
