W. Il. Yoolery, the Oldest son OF
James and Sarah (Cleveland) Woolery,
was born in the hill country Of o., NORTH
ern Kentucky, on October 20, 1850. H3s
father taught him the alphabet from
the capital letters at the heads OF chap
tiers Of the New Testament. AZ the age
OF FIVE he was put in the public school
undepa most competent teacher, Gldeop
CoIvin. The structure OF his future ca.
ucation was substantial, because IT was
founded on the bedrock thorough
training in the common branches.
Although he was reared on q farm,
yet this work was not congeniaI to his
nature, for often when sent to the peld
to pillow he would conceal his booEsand ana
usually forgot to plow, but remembered
the books. For two years he attended
a select school in an adjoining district y,
where he made considerable progress N

There are now in connection with he
college four literary societies. The Neo-

first session OF the college. Tho Ameri-
can Literary Institute was founded in
the session Of 1922 and '48, when four

that which the society now bears.

Professor In the College for Quarter of n
Century.

Professor In the College Tor q quarter or n
Century.
Chas, Louis Loos is now in his sixty
eighth year, hale, hearty and vigorous as
a man of thirty, His life has been one,
OF almost incessant study since at the
age Of four he entered the school in the
little Alsatian town OF Woerth, on the
French side OF the lower Rhine. He
was then the typical French boy, q
yiyacious, brave.hearted, liberty-loving
son Of an enthusiastic French Republic
can, who woke the echoes OF night, at
with his Bavarian mother he rode into
her native town, singing the Marseil-
laise ut the top OF his powerful voice,
when that song was forbidden by the
stern mandates OF Prussian law.
! At the age OF eleven, he, with his
mother and four other children, follow
ed his father TO America, only to find
him stricken with typhoid fever, from
which in n few days he died. Then the
boy OF eleven showed himself to be
man. He worked for the farmers, ris-
ing before the sun to feed and harness
the horses, following the harrow all
day long, and not resting till long after
sunset, the horses were curried and fed
again.
In the winter months he went to
school, and as he rapidly mastered the
English, his rustic teacher and class
mates we're astonished at his knowledge
and feats with the pen. At fifteen he
heard Wesley Lanphear preach, and
was immersed by John Whittacre. At
nineteen he entered as freshman in
Bethany in 1912, the second year OF his
Alma Mdter'S existence.
He graduated in 1916, and remained
three years to teach in the Academy;
then he left, and was gone for ten years,
preaching one year at Wcllsburg, Va,
ieaching, preaching, and editing the
Disciple Tor five years at Somerset, Pa,
preaching and helping to edit the
ChriStidn Age for two years at Cincin-
natl; president OF Eureka College, ILL
nois, for two years, and finally returned
again to Bethany as professor OF an
cient languages, where he remained for
twenty-five years, until 1880, he was

the stump and hastings when he came
home to make his report.
Inls50, he was a candidate for mem
bership, in the Virginia Constitutional
Conyent ton Of that year, and in 1856 he
accepted the congressional nomination
of the Known Nothing organization, with
tho understanding that the principles
Of the party were to be openly discuss
ed. He made the canvas single-handed
against such opponents as Henry A.
Wise, Mason, McComas, and other emf
nent Eastern Virginia orators. Although
Defeated, he Succeeded in cutting down
a previous majority OF his opponent from
about $500 to less than 1900 votes.
In 1872 he was sent by the Demo.
cratic and Republican conventions as
Senatorial representative to the West
Virginia Constitutional Convention.
In 1878 he1was appointed by the Gov
ernor to fill the last two months OF the
term as State Superintendent OF Public
Schools, in place OF Hon. @. s, Lewis,

movement begun by the teachers OF the
State, he was elected superintendent for
the term of four years. DR.. Pendleton
has been thrice married, in lS4o to La
vlnia NJ, and in l847 to Clarinda, both
daughters Of Alexander Campbell, and
in 1855 to Catherine H., daughter Of
Judge L. King, of Warren, Ohio. In
1887, retiring from active service in

wife and younger children to Eustis,
