burden which he had borne so long and so well to one who had graduated under liini and who was associated with him for se ' eral years as a teacher — Henry R. Garrett. There could be no finer spirited man, nor one more loyal to the ideals of MiUigan than was Henry R. Garrett. His life at Milligan was an example of pur- ity and luiselfish service. .After years of work, largely worn out b ' constant ser- vice and by bodily sickness, in the ear 1907 he was obliged to seek a warmer cli- mate in the dry atmosphere of N ' estein Te.xas. .After President Garrett was obliged to leave the work, the cause which he had so faithfully championed fell into the hands of ayoungman of Maryland named Freileiick D. K.?rsh ' .ier, a gradu.ite of Kentucky University, and of Princeton. Rarely are mortals blessed with such a loving and brilliant nature as that of Presi dent Kershner, Ijecause there could be no higher tribute paid to him it must be said that he is every inch a man. President Kershner took charge of the col- lege in the .Spring of 19i)8. His. resignation took place October 31, 1911. Immediately on the resignation of Di . Kershner the Board met and elected to the presitlencv. Dr. Tyler E. Utterback. a native of Kentucky, graduate of Ken- tuck ' L ' nixersity, Central I ' niversity of Kentucky, and Columbia University- of . ew York. President Utterback, being a man of large experience both as an ed- ucator and a pieacher, has rarely been equaled among those who have made Mil- ligan what she is. At the close of the year 19121913 President Utterback ' s re- signation, which had been offered one year before, was accepted and E. V. Mc- Dairmid, a graduate of Bethany and of Hiram Colleges, was elected President of Milligan College. After spending one very successful year at Milligan President McUairmid was called to Hamilton College, Kentucky. President McDaiimid was succeeded by James T. Mckissick, a native Tennessean and a graduate of Texas Christian University, The College of The Bible at Lexington Kentucky, and Har- vard University. After one year of enthusiastic service at Milligan President Mc- kissick resigned, and Dr. J. Hopwood, the former president and founder of the col- lege was called back to carry on once more the work that he had begun so well. The same ideals of life which ruled under former administrations obtain today, and the same emphasis upon purity and cleanliness of living, and the development of Christian Chaiacter remain as the coi e of Milligan Spiiit. And whate ' er the fu- ture of the school may be the present administration is marked by ilsloyalt} ' to the forme! ' Ideals of Milligan. 10
