O O 22 VVASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON COLLEGE Rev. Benry Zlloods, D. D. ff' li' T is something to say of a man that he has served the cause of edu- cation and the church for more than forty years. Dr. VVoods has done this and looks good for rounding out a half century of noble 1 service. His genial face, clear, full voice, and gentle manner will be at once recalled by many readers of the PANIJORA. Henry VVoods was born in Marion county, State of Missouri, in 1838. He prepared for college in Monongalia Academy, at Morgantown, West Virginia, entered the junior Class in XVashington College in 1855 and was graduated with honor in 1857. At the quarter century reunion of his class, the historian said: In college he was a splendid fellow .... we all adm-ired his manly character. After a visit to his native State, Henry Woods returned to the Academy at Morgantown as teacher, taught there until the fall of 1859, when he entered the VVestern Theological Seminary and, after completing the full course, was graduated in 1862. Mr. NVoods lost no time in his vacations. In the summer of 1860 he acted as colporteur in Baltimore, and was at that time taken under the care of the Presbytery of Baltimore. In the spring of 1861 he was licensed by that Presbytery and in the vacation following he acted as Tutor of Mathematics in Washington College. Shortly before leavingthe Seminary, Mr. NVoods received and accepted an invitation to become Stated Supply of the First Presbyterian Church of Steubenville, Ohio, for six months. Before the expiration of the six months he received and accepted a call and in October, 1862, was ordained and in- stalled pastor of that church by the Presbytery of Steubenville. After four successful years as pastor, Rev. Henry Woods had a severe attack of diph- theria, the effects of which obliged him to stop preaching for a time. He now accepted an invitation to the Chair of Ancient Languages in Washington and jefferson College and entered upon his duties in the fall of 1867. In two years he was transferred to the Professorship of Latin. July, 1872, he was transferred to the Greek Chair, and in three years more was re-transferred to NWMFQYM!
