The marriage of Mr. Hall to Miss Myra Dent was solemnized October 7, 1896, and they have six children: Gypsy L .; Mamie (wife of E. J. Bush); Virginia, a student in the State Normal School at Glenville; Dolly, likewise attending the normal school; and Jennie and Belle (twins), the twin daughters being twelve years of age at the time of this writing.

JAMES MORTON CALLAHAN, PH. D., professor of his- tory and political science at West Virginia University since 1902, and also Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, is author and editor of the volume of West Virginia history now published, and the publishers take this opportunity to afford the readers a brief sketch of his life and at the same time express appreciation for his faithful co-operation in carrying out the original plans. His historical scholarship assured from the beginning the success of the work as a history of West Virginia, and he proved a valuable advisor to the publishers in connection with many problems outside his capacity as historian.

Doctor Callahan was born at Bedford, Indiana, Novem- ber 4, 1864, and represents pioneer families identified with Virginia and New His great-great-grandfather, Henry Callahan, came from Ireland near the close of the Revolutionary war and settled at Martinsburg, in what is now the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. His great- grandfather, Thomas Callahan, born November 2, 1777, and who married Betsy Martin, of Martinsburg, in 1798, was a frontier school teacher in Western Virginia, Ohio and Indiana. His grandfather, Isaac Callahan, born December 14, 1805, married in 1825, in Kentucky, Virginia Jane Boyd (born at Martinsburg, Virginia), and by 1828 settled in Southern Indiana (near Bedford), where he died in 1883. His father, Martin Isaac Callahan, had a long serv- ice as a teacher near Bedford, Indiana.

Doctor Callahan's mother was Sophia Oregon Tannehill, who was born January 10, 1846, and died January 14, 1876. Her father, William Tannehill, Jr., born October 8, 1807, at Genessee, New York, came into the Ohio Val- ley at an early age and for a time was a proofreader on what subsequently became the Louisville Courier Journal. Later he was publisher of a newspaper at Salem, Indiana. Here, on November 21, 1828, he married Emily Texas Hamersly, who was born in Ontario County, New York, in 1810. Martin I. Callahan and Sophia Tannehill were mar- ried September 14, 1862.

James attended the public schools, graduated in 1886 from the Southern Indiana Normal School, from the National Business College in 1887, and was a teacher in public schools from 1883 until 1890. He had early inclina- tions toward the studies of natural science and medicine. Some experience in journalism gradually developed in him a permanent preference for the scientific study of history,

and his life has been largely devoted to teaching. He acted as special correspondent for several city dailies, devoting nearly all his time to that work during the presi- dential campaign of 1892. From 1890 to 1892 he was an instructor in the Southern Indiana Normal School. In 1892 he entered the University of Indiana, where he gradu- ated A. B. in 1894 and A. M. in 1895. He was a graduate student in the University of Chicago in the summer of 1894. In October of the same year he entered Johns Hop- kins University, where he soon won distinction in the study of history, jurisprudence and politics. In 1895-97 he served as assistant and Fellow. At Johns Hopkins the two men who did most to influence his ideals and methods of historical scholarship were Herbert Baxter Adams and Woodrow Wilson. In 1897 he received the degree of Doc- tor of Philosophy from Johns Hopkins. During the fol- lowing year he was acting professor of American history and constitutional law at Hamilton College. For four years, 1898 to 1902, he was lecturer in diplomatic history before graduate students at Johns Hopkins. At the same time he was engaged in historical research in the Depart- ment of State at Washington. From his interesting work in Johns Hopkins and at Washington he was called to West Virginia University in 1902 as head professor of history and political science. Since 1916 he has also been Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Doctor Callahan was a pioneer in the field of diplomatic history. His studies during 1895-98 helped to awaken an interest in that subject, which resulted in the establish- ment of the Albert Shaw lectureship in diplomatic history at Johns Hopkins in 1898. Several of his studies in inter- national politics and diplomacy, which were published by the Johns Hopkins University press, made him a recog- nized authority in that branch of historical investigation. He has long favored a close co-operation between England and America as the most powerful instrument in the preservation of the peace of the world. By his researches and publications on Anglo-American relations, he won the distinction of a place in the English "Who's Who," pub- lished at London. He participated in the Lake Mohonk Conferences on International Arbitration, co-operated in the movement to secure the establishment of a league to enforce peace, has been connected with the work of the National Security League, has been interested in Latin American problems and politics, and during the World war aided the Government by historical service in connection with the problems of this country's foreign policy. At other universities he has delivered lectures under the aus- pices of the American Association for International Con- ciliation.

Doctor Callahan is author of "The Neutrality of the American Lakes and Anglo-American Relations," published in 1898; "Cuba and International Relations," pub- lished in 1899; "American Relations in the Pacific and the Far East," published in 1901; "The Diplomatic His- tory of the Southern Confederacy," published in 1901;

"The Evolution of Seward's Mexican Policy," published in 1909; "Semi-Centennial History of West Virginia," published in 1913; "Interpretations and Applications of the Monroe Doctrine, 1845-70," published in 1914. For his book on Cuba he was awarded the John Marshall prize. This book, and his other studies on American relations with Spanish-American countries, attracted wide attention in Mexico and in South America. He has written a large number of monographs, reviews and special articles for magazines and encyclopedias, particularly for the Cyclo- pedia of American Government and Encyclopedia Ameri- cana, and prepared a series of sketches of great leaders and heroes for the Success Library. For several years he edited the West Virginia University studies in American History.

Although he has had little time for business affairs, he has always taken an active part in public affairs. He was a delegate to the International Deep Waterways Associa- tion in 1895, to the National Conservation Congress in 1911, and was an honorary member of the Second Pan-Ameri- can Scientific Congress at Washington in 1915-16. In 1912-14 he was historian of the West Virginia Semi-Cen- tennial Commission. In 1921 he was chosen as a director of the Bank of Morgantown.

Doctor Callahan is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa and several learned societies, including the American Historical Association, the American Political Science Association and the American Society of International Law. He was president of the Ohio Valley Historical Association in 1913-14. From about 1888 to 1893 he successively held all the offices from the local Lodge in the Knights of Pythias to representative to the Grand Lodge.

Doctor Callahan does not allow his own prestige as a his- torian and educator to obscure the distinctive scholarship of Mrs. Callahan, who while performing the duties of the head of the Callahan household at Morgantown has also done some notable work in history. Mrs. Callahan was married to Doctor Callahan at Vinita, Oklahoma, on Sep- tember 4, 1907. Her maiden name was Maud Louise Fulcher. She was born at Thamesville, Ontario, Canada, November 20, 1883. Her father, Rev. George Alfred Ful- cher (born September 13, 1857, at St. Marys, Ontario), was for many years engaged in the Presbyterian ministry in the United States. Her mother was Joan Antoinette Palmer (born at Whitby, Ontario, March 15, 1854). Her parents were married August 2, 1876. Mrs. Callahan graduated from the Cumberland Valley State Normal School at Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, in 1903. After teaching for three years she entered West Virginia Uni- versity, where she won her A. B. degree in 1908 and Mas- ter of Arts in 1909. She is author of a monograph "Evo- lution of the Constitution of West Virginia," published in 1909. She served as district president of the West Vir- ginia Federation of Women's Clubs in 1916-18. Dr. and Mrs. Callahan have two daughters, Kathleen and Jean Louise.
