Summary of my early life: the mind of the flesh is enmity against God (John 3:6; Gen. 4:25; Rom. 8:7).

I was born in Indiana, but I couldn ' t help it, I v as brought up in Ken¬ tucky, and I am proud of it, 1 spent my boyhood days raising tobacco, but I detest it. I planned to be a lawyer, but God put me in the ministry. I selected a Presbyterian college for my educa¬ tion, but I am a Baptist by conviction. I always have admired redheaded women, but I married a blonde and a brunette. I chose a post-millennial seminary for my theo¬ logical training and be¬ came a pre-millenna- rian. I have been a member of the Northern Baptist Convention for fifty years, but I still hold to orthodoxy. I was called to the pulpit of the First Baptist Church, Minneapolis, forty-four years ago; I am still there! ! originated the North- western Bible School thirty-nine years ago with seven day stu¬ dents. I have seen it become one of the larg¬ est Theological schools of the world. I have preached the gos¬ pel, ,T as the power of God unto salvation, for sixty years. I would not exchange my office lor the combined crowns of kings.

Mrs. W. B. Riley, B.A. Dean of Women MRS. W. B. RILEY, B.A., English Grammar and Composition, Etiquette, Christian Ethics, Editor The Pilot. I ' m a Hawkeye by birth —a Gopher by adoption. All my education—grade, high school, and univer¬ sity—was received in Minneapolis., Born ol god¬ ly parents, I never remem¬ ber the time I did not reverence God and His Word; so I cannot give the time of my conversion. I do know that I ' m a sin¬ ner saved by grace. I taught English and French at West High School in Minneapolis. The World War of 1914 found me in Europe. After a delayed return, I was doing can¬ teen work among our soldiers when Dr Riley urged me to teach English at Northwestern. His per¬ sistence gained reluctant consent. I have made the following progress: (1) part-time teacher in night school 1918; (2) full-time Dean of Women in the day school 1925; (3) the President ' s wife, 1933. Hobby—My home.
