BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
ALEXANDER MARTIN, the first President of West Virginia University, was born in Nairn, Scotland, in 1824, and came to this country with his father's family in 1838; graduated at Alleghany College in 1848, and was happily married, at Clarksburg, Harrison County, to Miss Carrie C. Hursey. In the fall of 1846, Dr. Martin passed through Morgantown, having come by way of Pittsburg, Brownsville, and Union- town, en route to Kingwood, where he had engaged to teach school in the then recently erected Kingwood Academy. The old tavern in the rear of the court-house furnished him a lodging place for the night, and the next morning he passed over the mountain to Kingwood. After six months' supervision of the first school in the Kingwood Academy, he accepted the position of assistant principal of the his- toric Northwest Virginia Academy at Clarksburg. When the West Virginia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was formed, in 1848, Dr. Martin resigned his place in the academy, and was stationed at Charleston, where he remained for the full term then allowed by his church, when he was elected principal of the Academy at Clarksburg. Here he labored very successfully for over ten years, when he accepted a call to the Fourth Street Church, Wheeling, where he remained three years. During the civil war he was president of the West Virginia Branch of the Christian Commission, and had charge of the hospital work from
413
EDUCATIONAL HISTORY.
Maryland to Tennessee, and from Harper's Ferry to the Ohio, laboring among the soldiers of both the Confederate and Union armies. When at Martinsburg, being apprised of a determination on the part of certain Union soldiers to burn the residence of the Hon. Charles James Faulkner, for a fancied affront, he went to the commander of the post, and, by securing the appointment of additional guards, pre- vented the carrying out of the design.
During his second year at Wheeling, the Legislature was considering the question of the locations of the several State institutions. Having Nathan Goff, Sr., of Harrison, and William Price, of Monongalia, members of the Legis- lature, at his house for dinner one day, Dr. Martin playfully remarked to Mr. Goff, "Of course, you expect the Capital located at Clarksburg, but I fear Squire Price will hardly get anything for his constituents." To this the company assented, but were rather pleased at Dr. Martin's next remark, which was the suggestion that Monongalia should at once quietly begin measures and send a delegation to the next session prepared with liberal offers as an inducement for the location of the chief school of the State at Morgan- town. The suggestion was carried out, and the University is at Morgantown.
The Board of Regents at their first meeting unanimously elected Dr. Martin president, and instructed him to prepare rules and regulations, courses of study, etc., and report to them at an adjourned meeting. This he did, as well as the names of suitable persons for the several professorships. During Dr. Martin's term the school rose from nothing (it may be said) to an attendance of 171 students ; its graduates rose from one to thirteen in a single year; liberal appropri- ations were secured, and fine buildings erected. Dr. Mar-

tin's chief aim was to make the institution acceptable to all parties and sects. The Board of Regents having deter- mined on annual elections of the faculty, Dr. Martin, believ- ing that this would be hurtful to the University, resigned the presidency, and, at a much higher salary, accepted the presidency of the Indiana Asbury University, which posi- tion he still holds. Dr. Martin's titles are, Doctor of Divin- ity (D.D.), and Doctor of Laws (LL.D.).
JOHN RHEY THOMPSON, the second president of the West Virginia University, was born at Carrolltown, Ohio, March 14, 1852. Early apprenticeship to the printer's trade stim- ulated his disposition to read, and gave him a bent toward journalism. He was graduated from Mount Union College, Ohio, in July, 1871. Yielding to a call to the Christian ministry, a short time before his graduation he was admitted to the Pittsburgh Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and appointed to a pastoral charge. Though so young, his ability and success won him immediate recogni- tion among his brethren. In March, 1873, he married Miss Mary V., daughter of the Rev. Wm. Cox, D.D., of the Pitts- burgh Conference. A few days later he was transferred to the West Virginia Conference, and stationed at the Chapline Street Church in Wheeling. Here, within the brief space of three years (the limit of the pastoral term of his denom- ination,) he became one of the best known and most popu- lar ministers of the city. In March, 1876, he was appointed pastor at Morgantown. This church is one of great impor- tance. The congregation is one of remarkable intelligence and refinement. Here Mr. Thompson found a congenial field for the exercise of all his rare qualities of mind and heart.
415
EDUCATIONAL HISTORY.
Since June, 1875, the University had been without a president. The attendance of students had greatly de- creased; and the institution was still declining in January, 1877, when Mr. Thompson, without his solicitation, was elected president, thus becoming the youngest college pres- ident in America. Many doubts were expressed of the wisdom of putting one so young and without experience as an educator in so important and difficult a position. He entered upon the duties of president in March following his election, and threw himself into the work with all his most remarkable energy. Passing from town to town, often from one country neighborhood to another, attending picnics, Sunday-school conventions and church dedications, as well as educational meetings and sessions of ecclesiastical bodies, he preached, lectured, and visited from house to house, becoming familiar with public men as well as with the life of the common people. The increased attendance on the University, in the darkest days of financial distress, witnessed to the substantial success of his work. When popular sentiment had been awakened, he addressed himself to the particular duties of his chair. Here he was very successful also ; and during his presidency the equipment of the University was increased, the faculty enlarged, and schools of law and medicine founded.
Convinced of the State's great need of an educational paper, he, in November, 1878, began the publication of the West Virginia Journal of Education. The pressure of various duties, in connection with declining health, obliged him to give up his journalistic labors; and, after a success- ful year, the paper was merged into the New England Journal of Education.
In 1880, Mr. Thompson represented his Conference in
416
HISTORY OF MONONGALIA COUNTY.
the General Conference at Cincinnati. Receiving an invi- tation to become pastor of Hedding Methodist Episcopal Church in Jersey City, New Jersey, he resigned the presi- dency of the University in March, 1881, and accepted the proffered appointment. Never enjoying the routine of the recitation-room, and having early became convinced that no success, however brilliant, in educational work could compensate the sacrifice of his great opportunity as a Christian minister, he accepted the unexpected call to a large church in close proximity to New York City, as the voice of Providence. The students and the Board of Regents, in various ways, testified their regard, and he was banqueted by a number of the leading citizens of Morgan- town, regardless of sect or party. He is a natural orator. As a child he was fond of disputation, and was armed with all the facts the newspapers furnished. At a war meeting in his native town, during the dark days of our civil strife, when the greatest possible effect was sought, he was chosen to give a patriotic declamation with speeches by some of the most eminent orators of Ohio. Mr. Thompson is now pastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church in Brooklyn, New York.
WILLIAM LYNE WILSON, the third and last president of the University, was born May 3, 1843, in Jefferson County, (now) West Virginia. His father died in 1847, and he was left the only son of his mother; was educated at the Charles- town Academy, Columbian College, D. C., where he was graduated B.A. in 1860, and at the University of Virginia. He served in the Confederate army. From 1865 to 1867 was assistant professor of Ancient Languages in Columbian College, and from 1867 to 1871 professor of Latin ;

studied law, and graduated in the law department of that institution in 1867. In 1871, he resigned his professorship, and began the practice of law in Charlestown. Served as County Superintendent of Free Schools, for three years. In 1880, was a delegate to the National Democratic Con- vention at Cincinnati, and was chosen Elector-at-large on the Hancock ticket in West Virginia. In June, 1882, he was elected president of the West Virginia University, and. entered upon the office September 6th, but on September 20th, he was nominated, by acclamation, as the Democratic candidate for Congress, in the Second District, and elected in October. Resigned the presidency, to take effect March 4, 1883; but, at the unanimous petition of the regents, faculty and students, remained at the University until the end of the session, in June, 1883, refusing to accept any salary after his term as member of Congress began. Mr. Wilson received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, (LL.D.) from the Columbian University in 1883.
ROBERT C. BERKELEY, chairman of the Faculty of West Virginia University, was graduated at the University of Virginia in 1861. He taught in Washington College, Mary- land, from 1867 to 1873, when he was elected professor of Ancient Languages and Literature in West Virginia Uni- versity, a position he has held for ten years. Prof. Berke- ley served as Librarian and Secretary of the Faculty from 1875 to 1883. The Board of Regents, in June, 1883, abol- ishing the presidency, established the office of chairman of the Faculty, and elected Professor Berkeley thereto.
JOHN W. SCOTT was born in York County, Pennsylvania, in 1807, and graduated at Jefferson College in 1827. He 27
418

served in the ministry, turned his attention to teaching, and was president of Washington College for twelve years. He became principal of Woodburn Seminary, and was the last principal of Monongalia Academy. Dr. Scott was elected the first vice president of West Virginia University; and, in the fall of 1875, while serving as vice president, he be- came acting president, and continued in that capacity until March 28, 1877. Dr. Scott was a profound scholar, a min- ister of the Presbyterian Church, and a man of great force of character. His degrees were, Doctor of Divinity and Doctor of Laws. He died in North Carolina, July 25, 1879, having passed his three score and ten years.
FRANKLIN S. LYON was born in Massachusetts in 1819, but his parents removed to New York, and he graduated at the University of Rochester in 1852. He taught in Albion Academy (New York) for eight consecutive years, being principal one-half of the time; and taught the the Male Seminary in the Indian Territory for two and a half years. Prof. Lyon came to Morgantown in 1867, and was a member of the first faculty of the University, and the only one of it now connected with the school. He went to Michigan in 1871, and was principal of Fenton Seminary, and thence removed to the Indian Territory, and was United States Indian Agent for the Creek Nation until 1873, when he re- turned, and again became connected with the University, and served as vice president for five years, and is now pro- fessor of the School of English.

Purinton, D.D., and was born in Preston County, in 1850. In 1866, he taught in the George's Creek Academy (Smith- field, Penn.), and, in 1867, entered the Preparatory depart- ment of the University. He graduated in 1873, in the mean- while having taught two years (1869-71) in the Preparatory department. After his graduation he taught in this department until 1877, when he became Professor of Logic, and became vice president in 1881, and was acting president from March, 1881, to June, 1882. He was the last vice president of the institution. Mr. Purinton was married in 1876 to Miss Florence A., daughter of Prof. F. S. Lyon, and at present is the Professor of the School of Pure and Applied Mathematics.
ADAM W. LORENTZ was born in Lewis County in 1836. He was a student from 1854-56, and a teacher, from 1856 to 1864, in Monongalia Academy, being acting principal the last year.
