These statistics show that Ohio Methodism could not depend upon institutions of learning in distant States, nor after the division of 1844, upon one on Southern soil. There was a place for the Ohio Wesleyan University.
Fifty Years of History. 243
During the fifty years of our history, we have given to the churches, to schools and colleges, to law, to medicine, to business, to the farm, to the American home, an army of educated, cultured, and for the most part, of consecrated Christian men and women, now numbering two thousand one hundred and eighty-seven. In this statement we make no mention of a still larger host, estimated at twenty thousand of young people who thronged our halls for a longer or shorter period, but who did not graduate.
Mere cold figures can never truly represent history, espe- cially when that history concerns even the earthily side of an endless life. What does it mean to us to be told that four hundred and ten of the Alumni of the Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity have entered the ministry of some Christian faith, and that already more than six thousand five hundred years of service stand to their credit-a year of service for each year in the history of the world since the birth of Adam. The results of such service are known only by Him to whom all history is an open book.
The Methodist Episcopal Church, as is to be expected, has gained most largely from this institution, but it is a mat- ter for profound gratitude that our Alumni, many of whom were converted while in attendance at the University, have entered the ministry of sister denominations. The exact figures are as follows :

The Missionary record of the Ohio Wesleyan is one of which we may be justly proud, and which compares most favorably with that of other institutions of Methodisın. It is
244

a matter of some interest to determine who was our first Missionary. Was it Sheldon of '51, who, a few months after graduation, was sent by the Church to California, then a field as wild and uninviting as any in the world ? Was it our first preceptress, Minnie Rockwell, who, April 12, 1859, sailed out of the harbor of New York bound for India and Heaven ? Was it *Sites of '59, who, in June, 1861, sailed out of New York for China, which he reached after a voyage of 101 days ? Or was it Scott of '61, who, in the same year, set out for India to fulfill a vow made long before? This is no time for fine distinctions. We honor alike these pioneers and the sixty-one other graduates who have followed them on this heroic crusade. Nor shall we forget the fifteen under-gradu- ates who went with them and equaled them in consecration. Our roll of Missionaries contains the names of eighty persons. They have gone into India and China, to Japan and Korea, to Mexico and Costa Rica, to Chili, Brazil and the Argentine Republic, to Armenia, Turkey and Bulgaria-every Mission field of our Church, with the exception of Africa.
An alumnus in the "Fifties," walking off the platform, diploma in hand, remarked to a classmate, “Now, I am a college graduate. It will not be necessary for me to open another book." To him, as to many others, a college educa- tion was the goal of the very highest ambition-the ultima thule of culture. Graduates went at once into the ministry and the professorship, and almost as quickly into law and medicine. Post-graduate schools were for the most part un- known or had little attraction for a man of academic training. Carpenter of '51, Richards of '59, and Atkinson of '61, three men of true-blooded Presbyterian stock, went into the min- istry of their denomination through the theological seminary, but it was not until the Fall of 1864 that any Methodist boy

preacher felt called to prepare professionally for his impor- tant life-work. John W. Peters, of '64, pastor of our church at Hamilton, O., has the honor of being the first alumnus of Methodist antecedents to secure the degree of " B. D." His example soon became contagious, and to-day few graduates enter upon the work of the Methodist ministry without the preparation that comes from closest professional study under wise teachers in the schools of the Prophets.
One hundred and fourteen of our Alumni, counting those now attending the seminaries, have graduated with the degree of "S. T. B," or that of "B. D." These men are demonstrating to the world and the Church the value of Christian education and consecrated professional training for the work of the ministry.
What is true for theology is as true for the sciences and for general literature. It was not until the sixties that our Alumni turned their attention to the post-graduate work offered by some of the older universities of this country and of Europe.
So far as our records show, the honor of undertaking post- graduate study, as a preparation for professorial or profes- sional life, falls to two members of the class of '66, and that class won the first " A. M." and the first " Ph. D." given to the Alumni of the Ohio Weslyan University on examination. Less than thirty years have passed and the record has grown to the following proportions :
Ph. D. . 43 A. M. A. B. I
14 Litt. D.
9 Ph. M.
I M. E.
I Ph. C. .
2 C. E. I Ph. B. . 2
Ped. M. I
The Master's degree, as given in this table, does not refer to the cases where our Alumni have taken examination at
246

the Ohio Wesleyan University, but only to those who have won the honor as a result of direct post-graduate study while in residence at some other institution.
Recently, the Ohio State University granted the degree of Doctor of Philosophy upon the completion of a most severe course of study, to Miss Lucy A. Booth, class of '81, who has in this way honored the Ohio Wesleyan no less than she has honored herself. We touch our hats to Doctor Booth, the first woman graduate to reach this scholastic dis- tinction.
A passion for study and research seems to have been begotten in these later years, and our Alumni, as well as those of other colleges and universities, are inflamed. It was once a great thing to graduate at an academy. Then the college became the goal of highest ambition. Post-graduate work for a time satisfied. Now it is post-graduate work with honors, fellow- ships, prizes for research and study in Europe. Our Alumni are on the front line and making the advances.
Much has been said, and most justly, against mere honor- ary degrees, and yet they are an indication of worth and cul- ture. We must remember that we are just passing our half- century milestone, and in the early years of our history our graduates were but few. Time is required in which to develop reputation and general recognition. When the last Quinquennial was published, twenty-eight of our Alumni had been made Doctors of Divinity. To-day the number is sixty-three. Then, the highest of all degrees-Doctor of Laws-had been conferred upon but four of our graduates ; now the number is eleven.
Perhaps the quest for fullest preparation is nowhere seen to better advantage than in the case of those students who. enter. upon the study and practice of the law.Our earlier graduates were admitted to the bar by act of the
247
Fifty Years of History.
Court of Common Pleas on a simple motion. There was supposed to be two years' reading and an examination of the candidates by the local attorneys, always more or less preju- diced in their favor. The passage of a law by the legislature of Ohio, placing the whole matter in the hands of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the State, called attention to the great necessity for a better preparation. As a result, our students after three years of Academic training in our pre- paratory department and four years in the college proper, are flocking to the schools of law for direct professional gain. More than one hundred have taken a course in some one of the law schools of the country and seventy have graduated with the degree of LL. B. As a result, our men are standing well to the front. They are able advocates, profound jurists, illustrious judges on the bench of State and Nation.
Two hundred and eighty-nine of our Alumni have been adınitted to the practice of the law, though all of these have not accepted the responsibilities of the high profession. More than one in ten have been permitted to wear the ermine.
There is only one open door into the medical profession, and that is through the college and the degree of "M. D." Notwithstanding its many exacting toils, there has always been a fascination in the studies required, even though there was no intention of entering upon the active practice. One hundred and eight of our graduates have been enabled to wear the degree, while only ninety-eight have practiced Medicine, and a score of these for a short time only.
The advance in Medicine is best shown by the establish- ment of Post-graduate school, Polyclinics, and Laboratories of Research. To these our students are turning in numbers, for that better and more scientific study of the human body and its diseases demanded by the stirring age in which we live.

Ohio Wesleyan University :
Time fails me in which to speak as I should like of those who have entered upon the other professions or engaged in the several lines of honorable business and trade. Forty-six have attempted to mould public opinion by the editor's pen, and grandly have they served their day and honored their Alma Mater. Who among us has had a greater opportunity for true heroic service than our veteran, youthful editor, Edwards, of '58, who is to-day celebrating the completion of thirty years of editorial work on the columns of a single paper.
We find our men in the bank, in the store, on the farm- everywhere where men are needed and where work is to be done. One work has demanded the attention of our great host as perhaps no other.
The Great Teacher said, "Freely ye have received, freely give." It is, therefore, not strange that college students and university graduates become teachers. They have had examples set before them for many years. Their whole life has been spent in the atmosphere of the school. Many have as clear a call to teach as others have to preach the Gospel of Christ. Our Alumni are to be found to-day in schools of all grades and in all the States. Two score have been col- lege presidents ; seven score, college professors ; hundreds, instructors in academies and in the public schools. Two thousand years of college, six hundred years in academy, thirty-four hundred years in public schools-such is our record. What armies of children and youth have been edu- cated, trained, lifted into the light during these six thousand years of service. What a mighty result to follow in one-half century from that feeble beginning in 1844, when twenty- nine students answered to their names at our first chapel service. What a glorious monument to the Church which created the faculty that inspired the teachers that led forth these armies !
249
Fifty Years of History.
One other side of our history must not be overlooked. Before the Ohio Wesleyan Female College had arrived at its first birthday, arrangements for the full and permanent con- solidation of that institution with the University had been completed-by two students. That union proved so fortu- nate that it has tempted one hundred and forty-five other graduating lads to link their lives and their fortunes with one hundred and forty-five graduating lasses. There liave been built up one hundred and forty-six American homes in which both husband and wife are Alumni of this institution -with many more to follow. I am under bond not to tell all I know on this theme so interesting to us all.
I have not forgotten for a single moment that this paper has been worded as if all our graduates were men, when in fact I have been appointed to represent all our graduates, hundreds of whom are young women, as well as also the four hundred and eleven Alumnæ of the Ohio Wesleyan Female College, who are ours by both love and adoption. All that has been said about our brothers will apply as well to them. They have their representatives in the Ministry; more than one has stood pleading, as only a woman can plead, in the presence of a judge in the court of justice; many have studied medicine and have accepted the practice with all of its toil; at least two have had the entire management of large and important farming enterprises, and have succeeded; several are the owners of stores, and some have married. When we think of our missionaries, we recall the names of as many of our Alumnæ as of our Alumni, and their service is as important and as successful. The teachers of the common schools of this State are women, and our college has furnished its quota. The Alumnæ are taking post-graduate study in art and in science, in philosophy and in history, and in the higher mathematics. Already they hold many
250

important chairs in our colleges and universities, and progress never takes a backward step.
The Ohio Wesleyan-our Alma Mater-has 2,187 children. Sixty of these are in fact grandchildren, the children of Alumni. Great grandchildren have already been enrolled in the University and will be graduated in due time. Three thousand other grandchildren and great grandchildren have been reported as the students for the coming half century. X * *
Our semi-centennial has one tinge of sadness-all are not here to-day. Some of our number have fallen asleep. Two hundred and five have " crossed the river and are resting under the trees."
Such are the statistics of our first half century. If we have done little of which the world boasts, there is less which we must hide from sight,-a tramp or two,-a half-dozen men and women buried under the weight of drink and opiates-a handful of failures through weak will and lack of purpose-these must not count against the glorious deeds of our ministers and missionaries, our lawyers, doctors and teachers, and the pure and ennobling characters of our wives and daughters.
The Ohio Wesleyan University is the Child of Providence and a monument to the devotion of God's people. Its birth was with pain and sacrifice. It was nursed by the tears and prayers of a holy people. It has been sustained by the love of the Church. Its semi-centennial is crowned, as we believe, with the benedictions of heaven and the plaudits of her own sons and daughters.
