A EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Replying to certain requests for data to be used in forthcoming edition of THE MULTIFARIA: first, regarding my own life and parentage,- and, second, The History of The Western Col- lege, which,I was chosen to edit, it is easy to tell that I was born in Porter, Ohio, April 7, 18413 Qchristened Sarah Isabellaj. My father, the Rev. Hiram Rose Howe, was born in Swan- ton, Vt., May 25, 1798, QThe Ohio University, A.B., 18265 A.M., 1829, Union Theological Seminary, Va., 18301, and was one of the early home missionaries in Southern Ohio, remaining there until his death, Feb. 11, 1888. My mother, Isabella Payne Howe, born in London, England, March 16, 1813, died whe11 I was a little more than four years old. At The Western our class, 1865, was called the VVar Class because our course there closed with the close the Ginghamsf' because our graduating dresses of the warg also sometimes called d to Mr. Charles were made from brown gingham. June 29, 1869, I was marrie Frederick Howe, Captain Co. B, 150 Regt. Indiana Volunteers, Inf., during the lat- ter part of the Civil War. Our children were Carlotta Frederica, born December 22 1871 Q'Western class of ,92j, died Jan. 2, 1902, and Edward Wilstach, born 3 Jan. 15, 18711, whose home and business are in Chicago. With mothers the children are virtually the beginning and end of the story. This is enough, except that I would like space to say that my husband and I were not related, previous to .Iune 29, 1869, though both our fathers were from Vermont, and both their fathers served D 0 I U f ' tl R olution But we have family records- reaching back to the beginning o in ie ev . the seventeenth century, and if there was relationship between the families, it was away back in England somewhere. My work? Not much, Editor, with Miss P ddock '64 of The Kaleidoscope at the Western-this I take it was the Emma a , 1, . remote ancestor of the Western Oxford, I would like to see it now! I was also first editor of The Jewish Era, of which I trust there is a complete file at The VVestern. Have served the Alumnae Association in many ways, the second president, organ- izer and first president of The Chicago Branch, the earliest of the branches. But now--more important-The History of Western College-First Fifty Y s. I wish it was out-and that as much devotion and fidelity might be expended ear in the quality and style of its publication 'as has been centered on the less material part of the work. The history of VVestern College is in itself so very interesting that it would be a dull writer indeed who would fail to produce a readable book, although ' ' ' h ' 'd t uch data for speedy reference, there must of necessity be combined wit 1nc1 en m for ultimately histories are for reference in convenient form. The last I knew of d tl MSS it was in Mr. Fulton's fireproof safe in Cincinnati. Doubtless the Hoo s, ie , the search for a President, etc., have eclipsed the importance of the history-a mis- take, however, as The VVestern is to have the full benefit of the work. Someone 19
