The work of the new vice president
will be confined exclusively to financial
matters. BY personal visits to men
who are in position to give donations
to the school and who are charitably
inclined, large sums of money, it is
expected, will be raised for the school.
The Rev. Mr.. Harrison will spend the
first two months of his time in Kansas.
After that he will likely go east where
there is a better field for labor.
The new vice president was born on
a Minnesota farm, July 10, 1865. His
parents were poor and his ambitions
for a ministerial education did not find
opportunity until the early eighties. In
1890 he graduated from Carleton col
lege and took some post graduate
work in Chicago university, doing
some missionary work in connection
with his college course. During the
nineties he held different pastorates
and in 1899 he completed his seminary
course. After this he was pastor for
time of the Cortland Street Congrega-
tional church. His other pastorates
have been the First Congregational
church Paramount, Mimi, Watertown,
s. D., and Hastings, Neb., since Feb
ruary, 1905, coming from there to his
new position as vice president of
Washburn college
