Excerpt from The Butler Drift, 1904 President Garrison's undergraduate and graduate studies brought him into touch with many educational institutions differing widely in location and in character. He studied at Bethany College 1890-91, took the degree of A. B. At Eureka College in 1892, and spent two years at Yale College, taking the degree of A. B. With honors at New Haven. He worked in Yale Theological Seminary the following year and completed his theological course in the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, pursing at the same time work for the Doctor's degree in Church His tory and Philosophy. In 1897 he received both the degree of B. D. And of Ph. D. His thesis was a discussion of the Sources of Alexander Campbell's Theology. After completing his studies Dr. Garrison was appointed Instructor in the Dis ciples' Divinity House, and also Docent in Church History in the University of Chicago. In 1898 he accepted the position of Professor in Church History in Butler Bible College, which 'he held until 1900, when he resigned to become assistant editor of the Christian Evangelist in St. Louis. E or many years Dr. Garrison has been engaged more or less constantly in literary work. While in college he contributed largely to the Christian Evangelist, of which he has been for the last three years assistant editor. His frequent travels in Europe gave occasion for several series of letters many of which were published in his Wheeling through Europe. He has also written a work upon the Theo logy of Alexander Campbell. It is expected that President Garrison's work will be varied between the general adminstration of the college, instruction in Biblical and Historical subjects, and securing additional endowment. His policy has been indicated in his public utterances and in his plan of work. He believes firmly in the place of the small college in the educational world, and in co-education, as the most natural and normal system of college organization. He has always been active in church work and was one of the leaders in the re - organization of the National Educational Society of the Christian Churches, serving as its president in 1903-04. He believes in co-opera tion of church and college and will doubtless do much to further this. He is also an enthusiastic supporter of athletics and of all the enterprises of the student body.
