PROF. EDW. H. MERRELL. D. D.. LL. D. One of liis students says of him: “Or. Mcrrcll, for forty-four years a member of Ripon’s faculty, has won the esteem of every stu- dent who knew him. 11 is strong character and keen insight into human nature made it easy for students to love him. Intimately connected, as he was, with Ripon’s history, ii was with regret that we saw him last year leave the chair of Philosophy, but we are glad to have known this leader of the students of Ripon College. Or. Mcrrcll is known thruout the Middle West as one of the strong men in educational work. The June, 1906, Advance says: ‘He ranks with President Chapin of Beloit, President Strong of Carlcton, President Brooks of l abor, and President Mcrriman of Ripon, as one of the men of rare ability and conspicuous sclf- sacritiec who laid deep and broad the foundations of the grand edifice of western liberal education.’ PROFESSORS EMERITUS. PROF. CHARLES H. CHANDLER. A. M. Dr. Merrell says of him: “Professor Chandlet would have been a marked man in any college faculty, as lie was from the very first in the faculty in Ripon. He was first scholar in his Dartmouth college class, a man of great intellectual strength, a master in his special department, through whose work our college main- tained a first class reputation among the great in- stitutions of the interior. As a teacher he was clear, enthusiastic, exacting, yet ever kind to stu- dents of all degrees of mentality. He loved his pupils for what was in them, and wrought in Christian earnestness for their highest welfare. One of the alumni, voicing the thought of many others, says: 'Professor (’. II. Chandler also commands the highest regard of the older students. His great thoroughness, his passion for truth, his rugged, sterling Christian character, will never be forgot- ten by those who took work in his department and came to know him intimately.’” Page Fourteen
