6 THE GRIDIRON. Almon Gunnison, D.D. 4- LMON GUNNISON, now President of St. Lawrence Uni- . gl versity. was born in Hallowell, Me., March 2, 1844-. ll T 3 His father, Nathaniel Gunnison, a native of New Hamp- lllm il shire, was a prominent minister of the Universalist Gifllllh b Church, his mother was the daughter of a sea captain of Cape Cod, engaged in the East India trade. Mr. Gunnison's early education was obtained at Dalhousie College, Halifax, N. S., and at Green Mountain Institute, South Woodstock, Vt. He then entered Tufts College, but left it at the end of two years to enter the Theological School of St. Lawrence University, where he graduated in 1868.
