Book Description

Excerpt from A History of the McCormick Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian Church Besides making use of these varied sources of information, the writer of this volume, having been for thirty-four years a professor in the institution at Chicago, and during the earlier period a member of the Board of Directors at New Albany, has been enabled in many cases to speak from personal knowl edge of the events and changes through which it has passed, and from intimate acquaintance with most of the men who have borne a prominent part in the making of its history. It has been thought that, in addition to the biographical sketches scattered here and there through the volume, the portraits of some of the men who have helped to make the Seminary would contribute to its interest. As a matter of course, a selection had to be made among both professors, directors and trustees. Some, therefore, will doubtless be missed from the list who would be deemed entitled to an equal place with the others in point of ability, zeal and faithful ser vice to the Seminary.
