Dr. Atherton
After twenty-four years service
as chief executive of our college,
Dr. Atherton, the late president,
died at his home on the campus on
Tuesday afternoon, July twenty
fourth. During his service here he
witnessed the growth of the Institu
tion from a very ordinary school to
the great college it now is.
A bronchial affection which had
troubled him for a long time was
the immediate cause of his death.
He spent months in Califoi Ilia in the
hope of securing relief, but returned
last spring very much worse, and his
death became simply a matter of
days. For several weeks im
mediatety preceding Commence
ment he was at the point of death,
but rallied in time to allow the pi o
ceedings to be carried out without a
hitch. His age and the ravages of
disease, however, were too much
for him, and he sank slowly until his
death on the twenty-fourth of July.
Dr. Atherton was born in the
village of Roxford, Mass., June 20,
1837. His boyhood was one of
hardships, a struggle for an educa
tion, at the same time assisting the
the family. He worked his way
through Exeter Academy and finally
Yale University, where he gi aduated
in 1863.
Before securing his degree at the
University, he served two year
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
with the Connecticut Volunteers in
the Civil War and received a num
ber of promotions as recognitions of
merit.•
After this he took up his duties as
an educator, and after a varied ex
perience accepted the position as
President of The Pennsylvania State
College, in• 1882.
Few of us realize the magnitude
of Dr. Atherton's services to the
college. His methods have been
adopted by many institutions with
remarkable success.
He was the author cf several his
torical works, including " Magna
Charta, " " Comparative View of
the Barons' Articles " and " The
Great Charter. "

Those familiar with Dr. Wads

the Mining department appreciate
what success he has achieved. The
rapid growth made advisable the

School.

Association for the Advance
