TENDER, 1892, and was formally in

1898. His predecessor had accom-
pIished a truly marvellous work, al
though difficulties and an unfortunate
lack of harmony constantly handi-
capped his efforts. In the six years
of President Chamberlin's administra-
ton the institution had grown from
637 students and mere handful or
instructors, with courses few and
limited, to 1882 students, II protes-
sorS, lecturers, fellows and instruct
ors, with 251 subordinate courses of
study. But this brilliant record was
eclipsed by that OF President Adams.
During the nine years Of his service
as head OF the university the enroll
ment has grown to total OF 2,715
students, l79 professors and other
members of the staff of instruction
and courses numbering up into the
thousands, SO numerous, in fact, that
no accurate record can be kept OF
them.
President Adams was married twice
His second wife was Miss Mary
Mathews and afterwards Mrs. A. S.
Barnes, wife OF the well known pub
Usher, who died while DR.. Adams was
at Cornell in the same year that his
first wife died. DR.. Adams and
Mrs. Barnes had become acquainted at
Ithaca, Mr.. barnes having donated
some $59,999 for Christian associa-
ton at Cornell. The two met again
shortly after their bereavement
while curing in Europe and were mar
rled in London, returning to America
in the fall OF 1888 Mrs. Adams is
fond Of art and literature and has a
fine taste for music. She is the author
OF many poems and has published
several volumes OF verse.
President Adams has made many
valuable contributions to published
lore. In 1872 was issued his book,
Democracy and Monarchy in France.
1t soon reached it's third edition and
was translated into German at Stutt-
CART in 1873. His Manual OF Histori-
cal Literature is a most valuable
work for students, literateurs, his
torians and general readers. 1t has
appeared in three editions and was
revised and enlarged in 1888. He
edited three volumes of British Ora
tons with critical and historical
notes. In 1892 was published his
Life and Work Of Christopher Col
umbus. President Adams was editor
in-chief of Johnson's Universal En-
cyclopedia and was associated in
that work with 35 of the greatest
minds of the country, among whom
were such men as Arthur T. Hadley of
Yale, David S. Jordan Of Leland Stan
ford, Bishop John j. Keane, Prof.
Ira Remsen, of Johns Hopkins, Henry
Wade Rogers, ex-president Of North
western university; Benjamin Ide

year later was promoted to an assist
ant professorship. In 1867 he was
made a full professor with the priv
lege of a year and half leave of
absence for travel in Europe. This
opportunity he improved in studying
at the leading universities Of Ger
many and France and spent two
months in Italy. Returning to Michi-
gan, he established a seminary in his
tory after the methors which he had
observed in practice in the institu-
lions abroad. 1t is for the establish
ment of the European seminary
method that he was first noticed as a
great educator.
At the time of the establishment at
Michigan of the school of political
science Professor Adams was made
dean thereof and at the same time was
made nonresident lecturer in history
at Cornell university. Being called to
the presidency of Cornell in 1885, he
accented and held that position until
the year 1892. During the seven years
of his incumbency at Ithaca the en-
dowment of Cornell was increased by
fully $2,O00,OO0.
Wishing to devote his remaining life
to writing history he resigned the
presidency in 1892 for that purpose.
During the following summer, how
ever, he received numerous calls
from educational institutions, among
them the offer to assume presidency
of the University of Wisconsin, which
he accepted, succeeding President T.
c.. Chamberlin.
He entered upon his duties as head

Useful Life Work.
Charles Kendall Adams was born
in Derby, VT, Jan. "a, 1885, and passed
the first ten years of his life in that
village. When he was ten years of
age his parents removed to the coun-
try and the lads second decade was
passed on farm in the summers and
in attendance at the district school in
the winter time. He early exhibited
an aptness for mathematics, and be-
fore he had passed his eighteenth
birthday, had mastered Davies text
book of algebra, as we'll as the ele-
ments of geometry, trigonometry and
surveying.
During the winter months of 1852
to 1855 he taught school and in the
fall of 1856 he removed to the west,
locating in the young state of Iowa to
be followed in the spring by his
parents. After he had attained his
majority he conceived the ambition of
fitting himself for college by taking
a thorough preparatory course in
Latin and Greek This he accom-
plished in single year at Denmark
academy, Iowa. Entering the Univer
sity of Michigan in the fall of 1857, he
supported himself during the four
years Of his undergraduate career by
all kinds Of manual labor, teaching
and as assistant in the library. He
graduated in 1861 and received his
masters degree a year later after de-
voting the intervening twelve-month
to graduate study.
At the opening Of the university
in 1862 he was given the position of
