extended the garden and added
many unusual evergreens to the
collection.
A visit to it is a better educa-

the plants are mature and have
attained their grown-up char
Iacteristics. Their garden setting
shows how they may be used to
best advantage.

"The First Student"

Maybe his name is on the rolls
and maybe it isn't because he was
not one of the alumni-but Samuel
White was the first student at Den
ison University, Granville, Licking
County, nevertheless but was not
graduated from that school.
White then was Is and the col
lege yet had no age at all-it opened
with its long student in 1881 but
was not chartered until 1892, then
as Granville College, later becoming
Denison University.
Born in Granville March a, 1913,
Sam White was nobody for whom
Granville College might hide its face
in shame. His career was short but a
brilliant one. Always with a yearn-
ing for "book learning" the boy
went to school on the hills when he
could, often in midwinter when the
snow was on the ground he was
barefooted The school house was a
mile away.
Of the foregoing it is legendary
that he used to heat a small board
very hot, wrap it up, then run as
fast as he could towards the school
house until his feet got too cold
Then he would lay the board down
and stand on it until his feet again
became comfortable and start off at
run again. There was a halfway
house where he stopped to warm up
his board again on the way to the
school house.
Because OF his views on the slav-
cry question White left Granville
College before his education was
complete and finished it at Oberlin
from where he was graduated. In
1888 he began the practice of law
and shortly afterwards became one
of the editors on the Newark
Gazette.
He was elected to the Legislature
in 1843 and was a Whig candidate
for Congress in 1874 but died July
%, that year, at Delaware, Ohio
Columbus Delano, Wing candidate
who took his place on the ticket
was elected.
White was of remarkable force
and power as public speaker
fearless, outspoken frank, honest
never giving utterance to opinions HI
did not believe and always ready t.
give expression to thoughts that h
entertained without fear, favor o
affection"
In the crusades of the perio,

against slavery, intemperance and
curtailment of free speech he always
was we'll out in front and was most
effective when the fight was hottest.
Once in the west part of Hartford
Township, Licking County, he was
over-powered and fell into the
hands Of mob "who rode him on a
rail and inflicted on him other in
dignities accompanied by other cir
cumstances of humiliating degrada-
ton. Many of the mobcrats even
favoring the proposition to blacken
him with lampblack and oil and
threatened to infict still other and
more offensive indignities upon him,
which if those fendish mobcrats had
not relented and moderated their
ferocious temper, would have ended
in murder"
So goes the story of Sam White
who warmed his bare feet on a hot
board and ran mile to school in
winter, began his higher education
at Granville College but ended it al
Oberlin instead because the doctrine
of that school better suited the views
he already held on involuntary
human servitude. White became one
of the country's strongest aboli.
tionists.
On Thursday, April 27, 1886
when the Ohio State Anti-Slavery
Convention was held in A. A. Ban
croft's barn at the edge of town
! Granville had been the scene of {
riot-not bloody but violent never
theless.
