Chancellor Elisha Il. Andrews, of the
University of Nebraska, has always
stood for progress and practicality in
education. The mental development of
the masses, the instruction of the
great number of people who could not
attend college, has received his atten-

result in order to extend university
advantages to those who wish to learn
he has lent his influence and labor to
the Home Study Course now running
in the columns of the Lincoln Evening
News.
Chancellor Andrews has been known
as one of the foremost educators in
the United States long before he was
called to preside over the Nebraska
state university. He was president of
Brown and also was at the head of the
Chicago public school system for two
years While in the latter position he

grandfather were Baptist ministers.
During the war he served in the First
Connecticut heavy artillery and was
mustered out in 1864 with the rank Of
second lieutenant. He entered Brown
university in 1868 and four years later
graduated with high hOnOrs. He next
attended a theological school and fitted
himself for the ministry. After this
he studied in Germany and took up
educational work. For eight years he
was president of Brown university.
