•- 1 The Reverend Daniel Stevenson, D.D. November 12, 1823 — January 2, iSq? Dr. Stevenson, our first president, was, above all, a teacher. He was more than a teacher. He was an educator, and the impetus he gave to education in Kentucky, especially to Union College, will continue to be felt through the years to come. An edu- cation, he said, consists not so much in acquiring, as in losing in order that we be ready to acquire. He called it a trimming process, and sure it is that his students were sometimes trimmed without mercy. He was practical. He said to a student who faced a financial crisis, Your part is to furnish the will power, and the way will open. It did. He never ceased to be a student himself. He read his Bible in four languages. He kept a young man ' s spirit to the age of seventy-four. He interpreted the New Testament in a phrase — a life to serve: It is my business and my duty to fulfill this life of service day by day, and heaven will come by the way. He became a happy man, not by seeking happiness, but by seeking to make others happy. He was the soul of sincerity. Union College was the least and the youngest of his works, and therefore the dearest to his heart. Our ideals today, our educational standards, are due in a measure to the ideals well established on this campus by our first president, Dr. Daniel Stevenson. 15
