Rev. Charles Collins, d. d. (1s52-186O); and
is now held by the Rev. Herman M. Johnson,
ID. ID. It's present prosperous financial con-
dition is in great measure owing to the exer-
tions of the latter, who filed the Professorship
of Philosophy and English Literature from
1850 to his accession to the Presidency in 1860.
After the transfer, the whole number of
students soon rose to 100, Auctuating between
that point and 190, until the introduction Of
the scholarship scheme,' after which the
highest number attained was 178. At the
outbreak of the war, nearly half the students
were swept away at once, and during its con-
tinuance the operations of the institution were
interfered with more or less, owing to its
proximity to the disturbed locality of the Cum
berland valley. The largest class graduated
was that of 1858, which numbered 35. In the
general catalogue of 1854 we find the names
of 9SS graduates, of whom 292 were then de-
ceased, and 696 living
From 1885 to 1916 a Law Department was
in operation, the whole number of graduates
in that period being 35. This department has
recently been reorganized A Biblical aud

the present time. The number of students in
attendance during the past two years was as

it for the time. The first President was John

at Princeton, and noted revivalist preacher.
PREVIOUS TO his assuming the Presidency of
Union Oonege, he had been President of
Hampden Sidney College, in VIRGINIA and
pastor Of the Third Presbyterian Cbnroh of
Philadelphia, to which latter charge he re-
turned, on resigning his position in i799
Jonathan Edwards, son of the celebrated
divine OF that name, occupied the Presidency
from 1893 to 1901, when be was succeeded bv
the Rev. Jonathan Maxcy, who had previously
been President of Brown University. and sub
sequently held a similar position in the Col
lege of South Carolina.
In 1904 the Rev. Eliphalet Mott was chosen
President, being then in his thirty-frst year.
At this time the institution had a very small
endowment and but few students. The State
authorities, however, in 1914, sanctioned the
raising of fund of 100000 by lottery, and
the number of students in attendance soon
began to increase. Throughout DIR. Motifs
long Presidency, the College was one of the
most popular in the country, although its
numbers suffered considerably by reason OF
the Rebellion, and have not yet recovered their
former average.
DR.. Mott died on the 29th of January, 1866,
after a service of nearly sixty-two years. He
was succeeded by the Rev. Laurens p. Hickok,
d. D., who for several years previously had
been the acting President, on account of the
bodily infrmites of the venerable President
The number of graduates to date is 4038
In addition to these, about 1900 students have
been at different times connected with the
University or partial course. The attendance
during the past two years has been as follows

liam Allen, d. D., who had been President OF
Dartmouth University. The latter held the
position from 1920 to 1889. In 1881,
however, the College encountered diff
culties similar to those which at one time
beset Dartmouth. The President was then re-
moved by an act of the Legislature of Maine,
but he was reinstated by decision of Justice
Story, in the United States Circuit Court,
guaranteeing the institution the exercise Of
its corporate rights. In 1889 the Rev. Leon
ard Woods, ID. D., profound theologian and
writer, was called to the Presidency, which he
retained until his resignation in 1866. In
May, 1867, the Rev. Samuel Harris, d. D.,
who was for twelve years a professor in the
theological seminary at Bangor, assumed the
Presidency, to which he was elected a few
months previously. In 1921, medical school
was established in connection with the Col
lege.
Bowdoin College has been in a very flourish
ing condition for many years, although its
prosperity was somewhat interfered with by
the late civil war. In the graduating class of
iSzo there were 81 Students; in that of 1887
az; In that of lS43, 48; in that of 1857, so; and
IN that OF 1860, 81. In 1929 there were As
medical graduates; since which time this de-
Partment has not been as prosperous as before.
In the general catalogue of 1854 we find the
names OF l5l2 gradWtes of the academic de-
partment, of whom 387 were then deceased
and ll25 living. The medical graduates in
1864 had amounted to 867, of whom only III
were then deceased. During the past two
years the following number of students have

1702 Int from that period until 1907 its exer-
cieea were suspended. In that year, the Pro-
fessorship of Divinity held by DIR. Livingston
was united to the College, and DIR. Livingston
became President, retaining the position until
his death in 1925. At the time the union was
effected, $50, 600 had been raised to endow the
Divinity professorshp, but so great were the
financial difficulties of the institution that it
was freqently obliged to close its doors for a
time. From 1926 to 1910 the position of Pre-
sident and Divinity professor was filled by an
eminent divine by the name OF Philip Mile
deler, who retired from active duty in 1885.
At this time, the exercises of the institution
were suspended But its friends made another
effort in its behalf, three Professorships IN
Theology were established on a small fOunda-
tion, faculty of letters was organized, and
the name changed to Rutgers College.
From 1910 to 1850 the Presidency was held
