College. He entered into this work with all the vim and enthu- siasm that had formerly been so characteristic of his life. He has caught the I. S. C. spirit, and already has won a warm place in the heart of every student. As to the impression one car- ries away after even the briefest interview with our new executive, we can do no better than to quote the words of Joseph E. Wing; President Storms is a great, big, raw-boned man, with a homely, rugged face, reminding you a bit of Lincoln ' s. You can see in him a heap of strength and a flood of unselfish, loving devotion to his work. And you wonder that so often in America the right men do find after all the right places.

ALBERT BOYNTON STORMS. Dr. A. B. Storms was born on a farm near Chelsea, Michigan, in 1862. When old enough he was started to a country school which he attended until he was about fifteen years of age. After finish- ing the country school studies, he was started to the Chelsea High School. This he attended one year, at the close of which he acted as a teacher for a term in a district school. During this time all his spare moments were spent in the township library. He has always been a great reader. When he was seventeen years old, his parents rented the farm and moved to Ann Arbor. This was done that their only son might be given the advantages of a city education, and also that he might the better prepare to enter college. At this time Dr. Storms decided upon the ministry as his life work. He entered the class- ical course at the Ann Arbor High School and at the end of three years received his diploma, when he entered upon the same course at the University of Michigan. As in the high school, so in the university, Dr. Storms was an earnest student. He was a leader in all college activities, especi- ally so in the work of the Students ' Christian Association. He was captain of his class football term, president of a literary society, and a member of the university glee club and choir. On January 3, 1883, one year before his graduation, he was married to Miss Whitcomb, who at that time was studying music in Ann Arbor. After his graduation he entered the Detroit Conference. His first charge was at Franklin, Michigan. He then went to Hud- son, Mich., and from there to the Woodward Avenue Church, De- troit. He remained here for some time, after which he was trans- ferred to the Cass Avenue Church in the same city. In 1894 Dr. Storms was called to the First Methodist Church of Madison, Wisconsin. He remained here until 1900, when he came to the First Methodist Church in Des Moines. Dr. Storms was pastor of the Des Moines church until 1903, when he was elected to fill the president ' s chair at the Iowa State — 15 —
