m ,, lm, 5 y s '4' .'A' .V,A til A 5 Recollections of Some Former Professors of Washington and Jefferson College Br .IOSEPI-I H. BAUSMAN. The editor of the Pcuzdora has asked me to give to his readers some reminiscences of the College and of its professors, at the period when my own connection with it as a student began. That period was a critical one in the history ol' Washington and Jefferson. The union of the two colleges, Washington College and Jef- ferson College, had then, in 1869, just been finally consummated, and even we of the .Iunior Preparatory Class of that year-J'soulless preps though we were called by the students ot' the college proper-felt some- thing of the storm and stress that were then agitating the minds oi' all who were connected with the institution, and ol' the citizens of the rival towns of Washington and Canonsburg. It was not long thereafter, either, until the whole world was agitated by the still greater strife of the Franco-Prussian VVar. I remelnber how we preps lay in the grass of the campus and listened with becoming modesty to discussions ol' its issues carried on in groups of upper elassmen, juniors and seniors principally,- g1'ave and reverend seniors in the patter of the day. Everybody was then pro-German: we extolled the grand Protestant nation, whose soldiers marched to battle singing Ein Feste Burg ist unser Gott, and contrasted their solemn earnestness of spirit with the red I ool-fury of the Seine. But our enthusiasm for the Teutons was chilled when the end came, and Bismark piled his billion dollar war tribute on France. Forty-six years ago that was! VVhat else can I recall from that dark backward and abysm of time? There come back to me names still heard then as houeshold words, names of presidents and professors who had been identified with the college for longer or shorter periodsg of presidents: Dr. .lohn W. Scott, Shanghai Scottg Edwards--Jonaj than, but l10t he ol' New England and The Freedom of the Willg and of professors: Dr. William P. Alrieh, Billy Pieklef' Jacobson, a name- sake of Terrence, the Latin poet, he, but he taught English, not Lating Dr. George Fraser--- Pinkie Fraserg Dr. James Black, kindhearted, but 25
