was so until faith and duty placed their heavy weights in the scales. In Dart- mouth College a first-honor man, among the highest at Andover 3 at Thetford and Owego, and on great occasions, as when he preached the annual sermon before the American Board, pleading for a lost World 5 and especially when, as under Beecher's church, he plead the cause of Wabash College, and most especially when in the twenty baccalureates of his presidency he plead for the highest and best education of young men for the sake of country and the world, President White was a great preacher. He was heard with intense admiration in the churches of the East and the West. Robust in thought, Ciceronian in style, and profoundly emotional, he was regarded with peculiar partiality. Dr. White was amply worthy of the fine words with which his friend and associate, Prof. john L. Campbell, summed up his character, Dr. White was of the highest style a Christian scholar. These words state the blessings with which Wabash College was enriched until the translation of President White occurred. Between two golden mile-posts-the consecrating prayer in the forest, November 22, I832, and the translation of Dr. White, October 29, 1861- the space is occupied with grateful surprises, blessed repetitions of T he unex- pected, because ey' God. And it is certain the last for the College has not yet been reached. , -. ga., ,...- ' G S ul ' 'W 'Q'

Wabash has never stood still, much less regressed since its foundation. But a period of volcanic activity is all the more to be welcomed as a change from the quiet mode of advance. With the arrival of Dr. Burroughs, on the IIt11 of November, when he was re- ceived at the station by the whole body of students, the new era began. The welcome was a most hearty one, and with closer acquaintance, the admiration and affection of the College for its President have steadily increased. The students took informal possession of their new chief by unhorsing his carriage and dragging it themselves to the hotel. A week later the Trustees and Faculty tendered a public reception to Dr. Burroughs in Yandes Hall, and for hours the building was crowded with students and citizens, anxious to pay their respects to him. There, in the Art Gallery of the College, surrounded by the portraits of his predecessors, Dr. Burroughs made the acquaintance of his constituency. . The first regular meeting of the Trustees with the new President took place at the end of December, and further signs of progress immediately manifested themselves. Simon Yandes, of Indianapolis, had, six months before, offered the College 330900, provided an equal sum was raised before the December meeting of the Board. This was punctually accomplished and 360,000 thus added to the endowment of the institution. In connection with this it s110uld be mentioned that 34,000 of this sum was given by the county through its Commissioners. Their whole gift was indeed 5SI0,000, but the other 256,000 was payable only 011 condition that the College became co- educational within two years.
