About This Book
A detailed biography traces the life and career of an educator who founded and guided a Virginia women's college, recounting his formative years, his decision to work in the Southwest, and the prolonged struggles to establish and expand the seminary into a lasting institution. It examines administrative challenges, pedagogical convictions, religious commitments, and the personal qualities that inspired colleagues and students, with chapters on commencements, civic and denominational involvements, and the development of campus life. The narrative concludes by assessing his characteristics, collaborations, and the college as his enduring monument.
