X I ll 1 1 ' 1 V! l-E Dr. George Stockton Burroughs was the president of Wabash in the last seven years of the century. Several trying problems developed during his administration, but the scholastic standing of the college remained high and in this period Wabash was granted a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the forty-second chapter of the fraternity. President Burroughs was born in Waterloo, New York, of solid English stock. His youth was spent in Brooklyn and Philadelphia. At the age of eighteen he graduated from Princeton with highest honors. Later, after graduation from Princeton Theological Semin- ary, he accepted a pastorate at Slatington, Pennsylvania. From there he went to Connec- ticut where he spent four years at Fairfield and three at New Britain. Then he became pastor at the college church at Amherst, and While there, in September, 1892, he received the offer to become president of Wabash. In June, 1899, President Burroughs handed in his resignation and went to Oberlin as Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature. He died ofa bone disease in Octo- ber, 1901.

4. f--- - f v .- 1 f 1 I' ' 'WWI -me Q The Christian character of Dr. Tuttle is reflected in his portrait. For many college generations this man more than any other was Wabash. He came to Wabash in the try- ing days ofthe War, he did not leave it until his death. Called like other Wabash presi- dents from a Presbyterian pastorate, Dr. Tuttle adjusted his life to his new position, but maintained his earnest, religious precepts and for thirty years instilled them in the hearts of Wabash men. Dr. Tuttle was the son of a New Jersey pastor. He went to Marietta College in Ohio, and in 1844, after his theological studies at Lane Seminary, became a minister. Before com- ing to Wabash, he was a pastor at Rockaway, New Jersey. When he retired in 1892, Wabash was enjoying a high reputation in the midwest, the endowment fund had reached a half-million dollars, and the character of the college re- mained unchanged. He continued to conduct the Monday morning chapel service until his last illness. He died June 8, 1901, beloved by all Wabash men.

He helped develop the Wabash Planu which em- phasized the place of the small college in the life of the nation. This plan was widely adopted and secured recognition for Wabash throughout the educational world. His death in 1906 cut short his plans for college improvements. Dr. Kane was the only Wabash president to attend a college west of Wabash. He went to Monmouth College in Illinois. While at this college he decided to become a pas- tor, and while preparing for the ministry, taught school in Idaville, Indiana. Later he went to seminaries in Ohio and New York. From 1872 to 1884 Dr. Kane was pastor in Argyle, New York. Then he accepted a call to the Second Presbyterian Church in La- fayette, Indiana. While at Lafayette he became interested in Wabash College. He was requested to become president in 1892, when Dr. Tuttle died, but was unable to. How- ever, when it was again offered to him in 1899, he accepted. 1
