director of charitable organizations in Terre Haute and Detroit and is one of the prime movers of the Chicago Bureau of Charities. Governor Deneen appointed him secretary of the Industrial Insurance Commission. He went as the official delegate of the United States to the International Prison Congress at Budapest in 1S ' 03. and in that year was appointed by the per- manent committee of the International Workingmen ' s Insurance Congress as American representative ; in 1908 he was reappointed to report on the prog- ress of industrial insurance at the congress at Rome in October. The publications of Dr. Henderson have been as numerous as his activi- ties have been ' igorous. He is a contributor to the American Journal of Sociology, American Journal of Theology, Journal of Political Economy, Dial, Proceedings of the National Prison Association, the National Conference of Charities and Corrections, and the International Congress of Charities, Correction and Philanthrophy, and Charities Review (now Charities and Commons ), and various other papers. He wrote an article for Jahrbuecher fuer Nation- aloekonomie und Statistik, 1898, on Poor Relief in tlie I ' nited States. Among his books are Introduction to the Stud v of the 1 )cpcii(lL-nt, Defective and Delinquent Classes; The Social Spirit in America; Social Settle- ments ; Social Elements (now translated into Japanese) ; Modern Methods of Charity, and Modern Prison S ' stems, and Industrial Insurance (in German and English ), and the Poor Laws of Indiana (in P ' rench ), the Eco- nomic Problems of the Smaller Colleges of Illinois (dissertation in German). Since its founding he has been Chaplain of the University. He is now Professor of Sociology and head of the Department of Ecclesiastical Sociol- ogy. From 1892 to 1894 he was Recorder of the University in addition to his other duties. Since 1883 he has also been a trustee of Kalamazoo College. For professional uses. Dr. Henderson has studied Latin, Greek, Hebrew, German, French, Italian, Spanish and more recently Russian. But after all is said, the more intangible elements of Dr. Henderson ' s achievements have made the greatest impression upon succeeding Uni -ersity classes, ' hether on the stage in Mandel. or in the little otTice in Cobb, or somewhere about the campus. Chaplain Henderson ahva ' s radiates the same universal kindness. To the student in trouble or perplexity he has always rendered encouragement that really counted because it came from his heart Dr. Henderson is great as a sociologist and practical reformer, but he is greater as a man.
