sHEDDs SUCCESSOR WILL BE CHOSEN.
special meeting Of the directors OF the Union
Theological Seminary will be held on Tuesday,
when it is expected that the vacancy in the
faculty will be filed The chair Of systematic
theology, occupied so long and so honerably BY
the Rev DR.. w. G. T. Shedd. was made vacant
year ago by his resignation, but he was elected
emeritus professor and has had his regular classes
all the year. In the summer DR.. Stearns, OF
Bangor, was chosen as his successor, but he de-
clined the honor. and since that time several
names have been before those appointed TO nomi-
nate q professor.
1t is understood that the man whose name will
be presented to the directors on Tuesday is that
Of the Rev. Dr. Henry j. Van Dyke. for nearly
forty years the pastor of the Second Presbyterian
Church of Brooklyn, and it is expected that he
will accept the office. DR.. Van Dyke was born
in Abingdon, Montgomery Co.. Penn. on March
2, 1922, and is therefore two years younger
than DR.. Shedd He was graduated from the
University of Pennsylvania in ls43 and at Prince
ton Theological Seminary two years later HIS
first pastorate was at Bridseton, n j.. and his
second at Germantown. Penn. In 1858 ne was
called to the church which he still series. The
University of Missouri gave him the degree of
d. d. in 1850. He has long held high place
in the Presbyterian Church as an authority on
doctrine and discipline. In 1870 he was active
in the movement for the reunion Of the Old and
New Schools of the Church. and was Moderator
of the General Assembly in 1876. One Of his
sons is DR.. Henry van Dyke, Of the Brick Church
in this city.
Two views were held by those with whom
reporter talked regarding the appointment OF
DR.. Van Dyke One was that the seminary desired
the name of a strong man TO accompany fhat OF
DR. Briggs in its report to the General Assembly
at Detroit this month The other was that 1t
was not easy to fill the place, and that Dr.
Van Dyke was safe man to have there during
the present controversy All agree that the Brook
lyn pastor is an able man. The0ogicaliy he is a
Calvinist of the Princeton school and an ardent
admirer of Charles Hodge; but he was moderate,
revisionist, or, as he preferred 10 pe

For you and for this generation he struck

proud to admit that it was not struck in vain.
