Qlilwlii ' Our Hall of Fame S. RAYMOND THORNBURG, Alumni Secretarty 7? X FTER all a college is judged, not by the beauty of its campus, not by the impressive- Ilt7A Nik ness of its buildings, not by the success of its teams, it is judged by the results it i7'5if'hj produces, in other words, by the type of men it turns out, and by their success in the world. The true mission of the college is to develop men and women of strong character, of personality, of ideals, of broad vision, men and women who can take a leading part in the world about them. There is an intellectual and cultural benefit derived from a college course that cannot be reckonedg there is also a relatively lower consideration, which is capable of easy evaluation. That a college does fit those who enjoy its benefits for a more successful life is evidenced by the statistics given in the latest volume of Who's Who in America, in which appear the names of 17,546 of the leading men and women of the United States. Of these more than 71'1, are college trained. It follows then that the community, the county and particularly the prospective student, if he be a thinking individual, will judge the institution in part at least, by the type of alumni that it has turned out. Ohio Wesleyan is as yet young in years as compared with some of the other eastern insti- tutions, and the majority of her alumni are just now coming into that period of their lives when they assume positions of prominence and rise to leadership. A large number have already achieved the highest places in their field. Among her sons and daughters are found presidents of colleges, government officials, including a vice president of the United States, diplomats, federal judges, two governors of Ohio, two attorneys general, eight bishops of the Methodist Church, a large number of preachers, lawyers and missionaries and enough college professors, school superintendents and literary men to enlighten the world or darken the counsels of mankind. Their influence has gone out to every corner of the world. But the alumni, in whom we are most interested are those that are today most active, and whose example may prove an inspiration to us. In order that we may more easily note the activities of our alumni, let us divide them into three classes 3 those interested in religious work, those in the educational field and those engaged in general business activities. The first, on the whole, we are more familiar with than any others. Among the leaders in the church, Ohio Wesleyan men stand high. Although only one among more than fifty Methodist colleges in the country, we number among our alumni one-fourth of the bishops of the Methodist Church. What Ohio Wesleyan alumnus is not familiar with, and proud of the names of McDowell, Luccock, Anderson, Thirkield, Hughes and McConnel?l Then we should not forget the name of Elijah Hoss of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In addition to the members of the Episcopacy, there are a great number of prominent ministers of the Methodist Church too numerous to mention here, who are Ohio Wesleyan alumni. But the Methodist Church cannot claim all Ohio Wesleyan men in their service, a number having reached exceptional pastorates in other churches. Two of these occupy important places in metropolitan pulpitsg in New York is Dr. Charles E. Jefferson who is one of the prominent pacifists of the day, and a leader in the American Society for International Conciliation, while in Chicago we boast of Dr. Frank Wakeley Gunsaulus of Central Church, by some styled, the greatest living American preacher. In the Y. M. C. A. work, Ohio Wesleyan is repre- sented on the Inter-National Committee by Harrison Elliott, while Miss Mabel Cratty is secretary of the National Board of the Y. W. C. A. Dr. Louis Oliver Hartman is secretary of the Foreign Department of the Board of Sunday Schools of the Methodist Church. Turning now to another field of altruistic work we find that Ohio Wesleyan is particularly well represented in college administration by the following college presidents: Hiram H. Lowry, '67, President of Peking University, Peking, China. Edward Fairchild, '72, President of New Hampshire College, Durham, N. H. Frank Wakeley Gunsaulus, '75, President of Armour Institute, Chicago, Ill. Edwin E. Sparks, ex'84, President Pennsylvania State College, State College, Pa. Guy Potter Benton, ex'85, President University of Vermont, Burlington, Vt. John I. Cassidy, '85, President of National Park Seminary, Forest Glen, Md. Albert F. Smith, '87, President of Ohio Northern University, Ada, Ohio. J. Grant Cragbe, '89, President East Kentucky State Normal, Richmond, Ky. Wilbur Nesbitt Mason, '90, President of Baker University, Baldwin, Kans. Frank R. McVey, '93, President of North Dakota University, University, N. D. Everett McCaskill, '93, President Wisconsin State Normal, Superlor, Wls. George R. Grose, '94, President DePauw University, Greencastle, Ind. Ryland M. Black, '95, President of North Dakota State Normal and Industrial School, Wahpeton, N. D. 13
