PRESIDENT CROFOOT On December 16, 1930, the Board of Trustees of Milton College received a cablegram from the Rev. Jay W. Crofoot accepting the call to the presidency. President Crofoot is well known in the Seventh Day Baptist denomination as the director of the mission in Shanghai, China. During his thirty years of service in that field he has placed the schools of the mission on a very high level. Not only is President Crofoot an educator but also a man of prominent administrative ability, having been instrumental in expanding the mission and schools in China. While on his furloughs in this country he has been able to keep in touch with American educational systems and during his last visit served as Pastor of the Battle Creek, Seventh Day Baptist Church. Milton is very fortunate in having such a man as President Crofoot to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Dr. A. E. Whitford, and waits to welcome to her campus her fourth president in July, 1931, When he will arrive to assume his new duties.
