EDWARD (i. :\\|)1§1\’."(’).\’. 1H).

Dr. Anderson was born in Prince Edward Island May 7th, 1821. He was graduated from Acadia College in 1846. The class of ’46 was the third class that had graduated from Acadia since the college was founded in 1838. He graduated from Brown University in 1850 and received his DI). degree from Central University, Iowa, in 1860. He was Greek Professor in Kalamazoo College from 185‘) to 1864. He be- came president of McMinville Baptist College in 1881, and spent six years in that institution. He thus carried the ideals of his early training from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A preacher as well as a teacher, he was thoughtful and evangelistic in his pulpit work, and never failed to emphasize the fundamental facts of the Gospel. His acquaintance with the Greek language and literature, as a college professor, gave him an unusual clarity and precision in his exposition of the New Testament. He was a worthy pioneer of a goodly company of preachers and teachers whom the East Point Church sent out into other fields and other lands for the instruction and uplift of humanity. He died in Lansing, Michi- gan in 1890.
