The Ma-calcxtcr illic-Mac. PROFESSOR THOMAS SHAVV. Professor Shaw was born at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, January 3rd, 1843. He received the advantages of the schools of his native village which he supplemented by a constant study of biography and history. During his early manhood he devoted his time to farming and school teaching, until, in 1888. he was called to take a professorship in the Ontario Agricultural College. In 1893 he became Professor of Animal Husbandry in the University of Minnesota School of Agriculture. He resigned in 1904 to devote his time to literary work and the lecture plat- form. His active work for Macalester College began in 1898 and in recognition of his untiring devotion to its interests he was, in March of 1901, elected President of the Board of Trustees. His administration has been marked by many improvements in the financial condition of the college, and to him with his co-laborers on the board is due the credit for the success of the endowment movement. He -has always been a friend of the students. His literary work has been largely devoted to the advancement of practical farming on which he is a recognized authority. At the present time he is working on an exhaustive treatise on Field Agriculture and Live Stock, which, with his works already com- pleted, will be a fitting memorial of his active life. Page 6
