 3 Ulillidm Trascr McDowell ILLIAM FRASER McDOWELL, the Chancellor of our I'niversity, was born on February 4th, 1858, at Millersburg, Ohio. At the age of twenty-one he graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan University, having taken the classical course. Since graduation his alma mater has conferred upon him successively the degrees of Master of Arts, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doctor of Sacred Theology, the last degree being given in 1894. His course in Theology was taken at Boston University, where his record augured a brilliant future. Refusing overtures from an eastern church he returned to his native State, married Miss Clotilda Lyon, of the class of ’80, O. W. U., and entered the North Ohio Conference. His first appointment, at Lodi, was made by Bishop Warren, who then little dreamed of the intimate association with the young preacher, which coming years would bring about. After a year at Lodi and two at Oberlin came five years of service as pastor of St. Paul’s M. E. Church at Tiffin. His pastorate was abundantly successful; in it was developed to no small degree that skill in public speech, which is now so marked a characteristic of the Chancellor. He became known throughout the Conference as an earnest preacher, popular, magnetic, and effective. His zeal and decision of character were noteworthy; his pastoral plans were well considered, and were carried out with an enthusiasm which both won and inspired those with whom he was associated. When Bishop Warren, in the winter of 1889-90, asked the President of Boston University to suggest some one for the Chancellorship of our University, he was advised to look up the young pastor at Tiffiu. His inquiries brought forth satisfactory replies. From one of these we take the following statement: “ His devout, intensely spiritual and manly character, his scholarly methods and attainments, his power to inspire the devotion and admiration of young men, his executive ability, revealed in the management of a large church—all these qualities, it seems to me, eminently fit him for the position. Of all the young men of my acquaintance I would give him easily the first place in my recommendation of a man for your important institution.” The Bishop dropped in at an evening service at St. Paul’s, unannounced. The result is briefly told; he came; he saw; he was conquered. The North Ohio Conference lost one of its most esteemed members, and the University of Denver gained a Chancellor. In May, 1890, the newly chosen Chancellor came to Denver, to look over his future field of labor. He addressed the students, setting forth his wishes and hopes; he told them that he wished to be one of them, to work with them as a
