COODSPEZED Perhaps no other living man has been more closely identified with the growth and development of the University than Dr. Thomas W. Goodspeed. who worked as the right hand man of President Harper during the years just preceding the founding of the University and during the First years of its establishment as a school. He was a student in the old Chicago University between the years 1859 and 1862, being awarded the degree of A. B. by the trustees of the institution. and delivered a speech at the commencement exer- cises of 1862. Having previously made the decision to complete his work at the University of Rochester, he did not take a diploma from the Midway school but received his ciegrec from Rochester at the Spring graduating exer- cises in 1863. On the fiftieth anniversary of his graduation from Rochester- in 1923ehe was given the degree of Doctor of Laws by the governing board of that institution. miqt , It. For eleven years Dr. Goodspeed served as pastor of a Baptist Church. at the same time keeping up his affiliation with the University of Chicago. He was for thirteen years secretary of the Baptist Union Theological Seminaujrr which has since become the Divinity School of the Universityr of Chicago. One of Dr. Goodspeed's greatest contributions to the University was his work in helping to raise the first million dollars for its establishment. In his own words. the raising of the Hrst million was the most critical task that friends of the University have ever faced. and was only accomplished after months of persevering effort. As secretary of the Board of Trustees for twenty-two ,years, Dr. Goodspeed hacl the chance many times to use the experience of his early connections with the University. . w :1 1 :iwmzijzkk. 111 Paar: Ttvcnry-fom
