While search was being made for IL party
to fill the rather trying position of president
of NaSSar college, it was suggested that a
woman he given a trial This, for some un-
explained reason, was not done but the next
thing to it was effected in the choice Of a
Nassor girls husband, whose sister is presi-
dent of the Vassar Alumna association. So
it is presumed that the fair sex will have
this time an opportunity of carrying out
their wishes in the government of the insti-
tuition, with the advantage of having an ex-
ceedingly handsome and efficient man to car
ry out their bchests.
The father Of President Taylor was for
twenty five years n Baptist pastor in Brook
lyn, where, in ISIS, this son was born Great
care was taken with the future Nassar
presidents education. From private schools
he was sent, in 1861, to the University of
Rochester, from which he was graduated
with high honors- afterwards spending three
years in the Rochester Theological seminary.
He spent the year ISL in Europe in travel
and study. Upon his return he was called tc
the Baptist church at South Norwalk. Conn
and after nine years of remarkably sue
cessful pastorate he accepted II call to the
Fourth Baptist church of Providence, II. T..
from which he was chosen president OF

Mr. Plimpton was born at PALMYRA, O..
rs years ago. He comes of the strong
hearted, long lived stock that peopled what
Is known as the western reserve His father,
a Methodist preacher. is still living--a hale,
rudy man, past 50. Florus was born
a poet. Some of the strongest sweetest and
most graceful lines ever written by an Ameri-
can are from his pen That they are so little
known is because they We're usually written
at his desk in the midst of his editorial duties
and published only in his own paper. OF
spare hours he had few or none If he had
been at ease financially in his youth, he
would have been at his death one of Ameri-
cas- distinguished poets Indeed, he had al
ways looked ahead to gathering his poems at
some future time and publishing them in a
volume. His friends and those familiar with
them very much desired this, but the leisure
to make the book never came Bits of verse
from his pen are found in collections of
American poetry.
Methodist preachers sons must turn out
early to earn their own living Flolus
learned first the printers trade But writing
Tor newspapers suited him better than put
ting other peoples writing into type and he
early began to do that He graduated at
Allegheny college, paying for his education
himself. After varied newspaper expe-
rience he became a member of the editorial
staff of The Cincinnati Commercial in 1860
He left The Pittsburg Dispatch to become a
writer on The Commercial He was offered
at one time an editorial place on The New
York Tribune, but he declined it. He was
identified with The Commercial and its for
tunes for twenty-six years.
During the absences OF Mr.. Halstead, Mr.,
Plimpton had charge of the paper. These
absences lasted for months sometimes and
occasionally they came in the midst of i'm
poftant political campaigns At these times
The Commercial did brave and brilliant
work for its party. Mr.. Plimpton frequently
slept upon sofa in his editorial rooms and
did not leave the office for days, so busy and
anxious was he. His last years were sad
dened by Encouragement and declining
health He was a forceful, witty writer, one
