Russell scholar in History, 1896. He obtained the degree of
M. A. at Harvard in 1897, taking highest honors in History
and Government. In 1899 he received at Harvard the degree
of Ph, D., and was Assistant Professor of History and
Government at that institution 1898-1899.
Dr. Trenlxolme was awarded the Harris Fellowship in
1899 and spent the following year studying in England and
on the continent. On returning to this country he was
appointed Professor of English and History in the Western
University at London, Ont., 1900-01.
Although feeling the loss of Prof. Becker, we believe
that in Dr. Trenholme the Faculty have secured a strong
man and that in his department there will be a constant
growth and progress.
The English department, already strong, has been still
further strengthened by the acquisition of the services of a
new instructor, Prof. J. Q. Adams.
Prof. Adams was born at Utica, Mich., Feb. 10, 1872.
He graduated at the Utica High school in 1890, from whence
he entered the Literary department of the University of
Michigan in Oct., 1890. After his graduation from the Uni
versity in 1894 Prof. Adams engaged in business for one
year. In ’95 he entered the Law department of the Uni
versity of Michigan and graduated in 1898: before his gradu
ation from the Law school he was admitted to the bar of the
Supreme Court of Michigan.
Since 1898 Prof. Adams has spent his time in traveling
and in teaching. As teacher he has held the following po
sitions: Oratory, Central University of Kentucky, Richmond,
Ky.; Instructor in Oratory, University of the South, Sewanee,
Tenn. During the last summer Prof. Adams was assistant
