It stood alone among all.he educational institutions of thethe world in its attitude toward theextension of University, teaching beyond its own premises. For thisPU!pose it organized classes in thenty of Chicago, out of which has�rown the University college onMichigan avenue. It has organized courses of lectures in' cities andtowns extending literally and inlosely neighboring centers from theAtlantic to the Pacific. It has instructed one thousand students byorrespondence in every part of theworld.This extension was one of Dr.Harper's most cherished schemes.While it was not strictly originalwith him, having been conceivedin England, he gave it entirely neweatures. Probably he first devisedthe plan of education by corresponence.Another of his favorite plans wasrealized in the continuous sessionsof the University, whereby in sumer as well as at other times of theear complete courses of instrucion counting toward degrees areiven. To these summer sessionsDr. Harper attracted the most notedbolars from American, Englishnd European universities. Menike James and Royce of Harvard,Fairband of Oxford, Smith of Edinborough have become become failiar figures on the Universityquadrangles.Along with these continuous sessions another of Dr. Harper's orig. nal plans was that of admittingstudents at the beginning of anyquarter of the year and graduatingclasses at every quarterly convocation. That arrangement has beenof inestimable service to hundredsof young men and women to whomthe saving of a few mouths is oftenof vital importance.Dr. Harper was singularly Cath-BORN .JULY 26. 1856. DIED JANUARY 10. 1906.William Rainey Harper was born in New Concord, Ohio, J uly26, 1856. His parents, Samuel Harper and Elizabeth Rainey Harper,were of Scotch-Irish ancestry. The boy who grew to be our presidentwas the oldest of five children.Dr. Harper received his early education at Muskingham college,in his home village. He entered college at eight years of age, completed the course with honors and was graduated when fourteenyears old with the degree of A. B. At the graduation exercises he delivered the commencement day oration in Hebrew, the study of whichlanguage even then had become of intense interst to him.Following his graduation, Dr. Harper remained at home forthree years, pursuing alone his favorite studies. At the age of seventeenhe entered the graduate department of Yale university, and after twoyears received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.Then, almost thirty years ago, he married the daughter of President Paul of Muskindum College, and although only nineteen years ofage. began life as the principal of Masonic college at Macon, Tenn.Dr. Harper 'retained the position as head of Masonic college forone year only, but was appointed principal of the preparatory department of Denison university at Granville, Ohio. The year which theyoung professor spent at Granville made for him many lasting friendships, and a glance over the lists of faculties of this University revealsnothing more striking than the number of men who have studied in theOhio school.In 1880 Dr. Harper came to Chicago, taking the chair of Hebrewin the Baptist Theological seminary at Morgan Park. Here he remained for six years. In 1885 President Harper became professor of Semitic languages in the faculty of Yale university. He filled this positionwith great success until 1891, when he went abroad for a short periodof study and travel.In June 1891, Dr. Harper assumed the duties of president of thisuniversity. .Immediately afte� accepting the difficult task of revivingthe old Baptist school the president gathered around him the brichtestscholars in America, creating a faculty equaling that of a universitywith a century of history.Although ,the duties which fell upon him as head of the universitywere many, the .enormous. �nergy of the man requi.red other outlets. Heasurned the chair of Semitic languages; he had his classc d t ghtthem regularly.

These qualities werebetrayed in every movement of hisbody. Yet despite his tremendousenergy and enthusiasm, he spokesoftly and somewhat nervously. Healways looked squarely in the facesof persons with whom he hadbusiness.He' was not a brilliant publicspeaker. His addresses were usually colloquial and argumentative,rather than formal or ornate, andhis delivery was rather jerky. Healways had something to say andspoke to the point, He had no confidents, and his associates seldomknew of his work until it was completed.He was a man of highly sensitiveorganization and was a strict disciplinarian.

He took delight in beingpresent at all kinds of contests andthe men have always looked uponhim as a friend.CLARK JE�NISOX - PresidentHarper's experienced ideas on subjects touching college lifc in general was ideal.

ADAMS STREETChiQ •• o.0'..... - money and no answer. I write because I feel impelled to express toyou the enthusiastic admirationwhich I feel as a student of education, for President Harper, whomI .do not think the country quitejustly appreciates. I think no onein the whole field of education hasshown such genius for organization ..has himself grown more rapidly inoffice, has given to college and university work so many new and goodideas, has been so unselfish, shownsuch power of sustained and effective work, has so admirably combined the enthusiasm of a scholarand that of an administrator. Evenhis annual Register is full of stimulating new ideas. Eastern collegepresidents were a little disposed tolook askanse upon him at first, buttheir attitude has greatly changed,although even yet I do' not thinkthey appreciate . him at his fullworth. He will go down in the history of education as a man whomarks a great and salutary epoch.Please pardon these ejaculations.which I am impelled to expand inpelled to expendrrnrwu rdnunuuuto detail. Of course you know himbetter than I, but this view point isat adifferent angle. He would probably be shocked to know I thoughtof writng you. \Vhile I know himit is not intimately and our personalrelations, I suppose, may not bequite cordial, because he took awaya number of our professors at thestart, but my appreciation of hischaracter and his work is almostunbounded, and while you maynever have heard of me, I want youto know that from the point of viewof another iristitution, he looms upas a great figure in his field.I am,Very respectfully,(Signed) G. STANLEY HALL.TRIBUTES TO PRESIDENT REVEAL STRONG ADJlIRATIOKContinued from first page, column 1 everybody loved and ineverybody had unbounded.. 0 >;,. .•Another distinctive feature ofDr. Harper's educational planswas the arrangement whereby amember of anyone of the facultiesmight by continuous service earnextra time for vacation. The President delighted in nothing morethan that his professors should takewhatever time they could commandfor enriching their general cultureby travel and study abroad. Hewas especially pleased when the result of such absence from the University duties was some new contribution to literature to a subjectwhich the professor taught.One of Dr. Harper's most uniquecreations is the school of education,which he worked out and foundedwith the aid of the splendid munificence of Mrs. Emmons Blaine. Itis the combination of four schools,the Chicago Institute under Colonel.Francis \V 0 Parker, the ChicagoManual Training School under Dr.Henry Belfield, the LaboratorySchool under John Dewey and theSouth Side Academy under Prof.\V m, B. Owen. By its existence itis possible for a child to enter theUniversity as a kindergarten student and remain in it until he takeshis Doctor's degree.It has sometimes been supposedthat President Harper was ratheran organizer and an administratorthan a scholar. This impression ispossibly due to his almost unparaelIeled achievements as a builder ofthe Univcrsity. He was undoubtedly a great executive. It is by nomeans exaggerated to say that during his own time there were probably not ten men in the world hisequal in tliat respect. One thinksof him in the same class with President Roosevelt, but great as hewas on that side, he achieved remarkable things in scholarship. Hefought with determination againstthe paralyzing effect 0of administrative work. At the· last he was doing creative, literary and scholarlywork.If the teacher is to be distinguished from the scholar it must besaid that Dr. Harper was one ofthe greatest teachers Qf his time.Few men have ever been· able toinspire students as he has been.While still a professor at Yale, hecreated the greatest enthnsiasm inthe study of Hebrew, not only byhis own lectures, But, what is morewonderful, by his own instructiongiven in correspondence courses.Frequently he was obliged bythe press of executive duties tohold his classes as early as seventhirty and the members of his classregarded it as no hardship to at-tend. He attracted equally menof all faith and beliefs. We shallsurely read a great volume of testimony to President Harper's greatness as a teacher.Ii..I:l"I: nell-The world has lost one of itsgreatest educators in PresidentHarper.\V OODROW WILSON, PrincetonAll university men must havelearned to admire Dr. Harper, andhis death has taken out of theworld an inspiring figure.DAVID STARR JORDAN, Stanford-As a university President Harperis in a class by himself. Clean, unselfish, loyal, he gave his life tohigher education.BEX] A::\lIX IDE \VHEELER, California-President Harper was agreat organizer, but his greatestii�����TI����II.power was his imaginaiton and insight that enabled him to build theuniversity.ED\n� B. CRAIGIIE . .\D, TulaneDr. Harper was a brave and nobleman. By his genius and unparalleled energy he built one of thegreatest universities of the world.TIlE REV. JE�KIN LLOYD JONES-The death of Dr. Harper is atremendous loss to the Universityof Chicago. Sadness at his demise is turned to admiration whenone considers the sublimity of hisend-the way he stood by his gunsat the last.DR. NICHOLAS SENN-Dr. Harper was a man of wonderful executive abilty and of splendid judgment. In organizing the Universityof Chicago he has builded a monument to his greatness that will endure for ages. He did for the University of Chicago what Bismarckdid for Germany-he unified education here·as Bismarck unified theGerman slates.JAMES B. FORGAN-Dr. Harperwas awonderful man and a greateducator. He had executive abilityof the highest order and his judgment was unusually sound. Hewent about his business as he didhis studies, with deliberation andprecision, after having masteredevery detail that was essential tosuccess.FRANKLIN H. HEAD-Dr. Harper was the first citizen of Chicago,as he was the head and shoulders ofthe cause of higher education inthe world. He was one of thegreatest educators of modemtimes. His plans for the betterment fo the University of Chicagowere complex, and had he lived tocary them into execution that institution - would have become thegreatest in the world.The esteem \vith which Dr. Harper was held by various Universityheads is well illustrated by the following letter from G. Stanley Hall,President of Clark University toJohn D. Rockefeller.New York, December 21, '05.Dear Mr. Harper:-I have just received a letterfrom President G. Stanley Hall ofClark University, Worcester, Massachusetts, a copy of which I enclose herewith, wihch pleases mevery much. It expresses my ownviews, as well as the universal sentiment among educators, equallywith people like myself, who havenot had the advantage of collegeand university life.As ever,Faithfuly your friend,(signed) JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER. olic in his educational spirit.might have expected him to havebeen hospitable chiefly to the classical side of the University, for histraining and his own work werelargely related. to that. But he waskeenly appreciative of what mightbe called the realistic side. Heheartiiy believed in the "new education." He valued every elementof educational training, accordingly, as it was made for social efficiency.Those who have worked withPresident Harper in the Universityhave been constantly filled withwonder at the fact that his rapidlydeveloped schemes not only justified themselves but worked harmoniously together. Though hewas scarcely fifty years of age athis death, he had been able toassemble, to organize, and to holdin harmonious cooperation hundreds of men, eminent for learning,by no means holding the sameviews on education.President Harper was the centerabout which all the forces of theUniversity organizedinto a harmonious whole, andperhaps the secret of it all was thatover and above his transcendentabilities as an educator and as anorganizer he commanded at alltimes the profound affectioneveryone who knew him."\Ve must all do whatasks," has been the unwritten lawiu the University communitynot because that community wasruled by an autocrat, but becausete chtllter of ita life was a manbar\)arb botel5114.16 Washln.ton Aye.Phone Hyde Park 1533 near I.
