The recent bereavement of A. B.
Eaton, candidate for Senator from Ell
more County where he has the sym
pathy of host of friends, has brought
to our notice instances in the history
OF BelOit College of which not only is
our Mr.. Eaton a graduate, but OF
Wthich institution, his father, Edward
Dwight Eaton also graduate, has
been President since 1886, with the
exception of two years. Q905-0O when
he was obliged to resign because of
a breakdown i'm health as a result of
untlring labor for the best interests
of the college.
Beloit College,in southern Wiscon-
sin, one of the leading institutions of
it's kind in the United States, has
been under the supervision of DR..
Eaton for the past twenty four years
and it is through his unceasing efforts
that it has reached this high degree
of excellence.
Edward Dwight Eaton, native of
Wisconsin, graduated from Beloit Col
lege in 1872, took a Theological course
at Yale and studied at Leipzig and
Heidelberg. In 1875 he received A.
M. from his Alma Mater and the de-
gree of B. D. from Yale Theological
Seminary. In 1887 he was honOred
with D. d. from Northwestern and
LII. D. from the University of Wiscon-
sim In 1900, Yale made him d. d.,
at the same time comforting Ii. ID.
upon Elhu Root. and it was just last
June that President Eaton received
L. d. from Marietta College, Ohio,
with President Taft, Professor Gros-
venor of Amherst, National President
of the PHI BETA KAPPA and with
Albert Shaw, editor of Review of Re-
views
Last spring Dr. Eaton delivered the
PHI BETA KAPPA address before the
members of that fraternity at the
University of Wisconsin.
When a student at Beloit College,
President Eaton was "A good scholar
a fine musician, an enthusiastic, speak
er and writer, and loyal supporter
of the best traditions of the College.
and whose standings were among the
best ever recorded by the college
Not only has President Eaton i'm
his present capacity, won the friend
ship and admiration of Beloit students
and Beloit citizens, but because of his
wide experience in outside affairs. he
has made for himself Name that is
known and respected in the Nation.
In 1898, President Eaton was one of
three men appointed by the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions, to inspect the Missions OF
that Board in China. He is now a
corporate member of that board and
has held Numerous other positions OF
honor and trust throughout the
country
Since President Eaton assumed con
troll of Beloit College in 1886, it has
shown a general, steady growth, and
not only has he built the college up
on solid financial foundation and in
creased it's effectiveness in every wa,
but he has, in every instance, com
manded the respect and love of every |
true Beloit student.
The above facts, taken from an ar |
ticle in the 'Rouna Table of Belod |
College, are vouched for by the author |
Luther R. Frame.
The above are but a very few OF |
the many noble characteristics OF the |
fla her of A. B. Eaton, cadidate fol |
Senator from Gilmore County and 1T |
would be strange indeed if a father |
of the type of Edward Dwight Eaton
SHOULD inculcate aught but noble dde2a
into the minds of his children. We be-
lieve that Allen B. Eaton has inner
it'd a generous portion of the noble
impulses of the father and if elected
ito the State Senate will use his i'm
fluenoe toward legislation for the |
best interests of THE voters
