Dr. Henry Lawrence McCrorey. 1907-1947 Dr. McCrorey was born in Fairfield County, South Cai ' olina, March 2, 1863. He came to Biddle as a young boy of modest means but with high ambi- tions. He graduated from the College of Liberal Arts in 1892, and from the Theological Seminary in 1895. Upon graduation he was employed at Biddle as a teacher in the high school department but was later promoted to the chair of Greek Exegesis and He- brew. Following the death of President Sanders in 1907, he was elected president of the Institution. His administration was long and fruitful. As a professor under Dr. Sanders ' administration, he had become well aware of the institution ' s program and needs. Dr. McCrorey asked the Freedmen ' s Board for a considerable amount of money to begin a pro- gram of expansion and enrichment but was told by Dr. J. M. Gaston, the Secretary, that the Board did not have the money but he would introduce him to a person who might make him a grant. Together the two went to the home of Mrs. William Thaw of Pitts- burgh. After Dr. McCrorey presented the Institu- tion ' s cause, Mrs. Thaw gave him a substantial do- nation and called her friend, Mrs. Johnson C. Smith, and made an engagement for Dr. McCrorey with her. Mrs. Smith was impressed with Dr. McCrorey ' s statement of the Institution ' s needs and later made it felt in a very tangible way. Dr. McCrorey was acquainted with the late pres- ident ' s efforts toward providing adequate library facilities, and immediately revived the Library Fund Campaign.
