o had been connected with A sin in 1831, the Rev. James Blvfhel Wh T ansyglx mia almost from the beginning as Master in Transylvania Seminary, r fe f , nd later professor in the University, resigned, and in 1832 was elected t , , . . . . ihL:HeritaPresidentof Hanover College, Indiana. Under his administration, from 1836 to 1839, the college attained a high degree of prosperity. It was also in 1831 that the Rev. Alva Woods, who succeeded Dr. Holley as Presi- dent left Transylvania to become the Erst President of the University of Alabama. U , . In 1865 Transylvania was consolidated with Kentucky University, an in- stitution then at Harrodsburg, which in 1857 had been founded as the successor of Bacon College. Under the name Kentucky University, the institution be- gan work again in Lexington in October, 1865. Two of the departments of the University were the College of the Bible and the A. and M. College, the former a theological school of the Disciples of Christ, the latter the property ofthe Commonwealth of Kentucky. Such a union of Church and State was foredoomed to failure. In 1878 both these departments were separated from the University. The A. and IVI. College has since grown into the State Uni- versity. The College of the Bible, though affiliated with Transylvania, oper- sites under its own charter and is in administration and control entirely inde- pendent. Finally, in 1908, the charter of Kentucky University was so amend- ed as to remove the requirementof any particular religious afhliations as pre- qnisite to membership on the board of trustees, the name Kentucky University was dropped and the old name Transylvania re-assumed. Transylvania has had the blesseddestiny to live to a vigorous old age and to. see her progeny become strong and independent. Although many of hteligcliilitllreii have often seemed to develop with their powers a matricidal in- ' , , sie has been willing to forgive and forget, and is thankful that even in periods of storm and stress, she has been able to fulfill her destiny in pass- ing on the light.
