*70—Of the election of Rev. Dr.
James G. K. McClure to the Presidency
of Lake Forest University, the Chicago
Tribune says: “The selection of Dr.
McClure may prove a surprise in some
quarters, as he is the pastor of the Lake
Forest Presbyterian Church, and it was
supposed he would not consent to as-
sume new responsibilities. But the
trustees of the university have been
considering Dr. McClure’s name for
several weeks. His peculiar qualifica-
tions for the position were of such a
character it was considered needless to
search elsewhere for a President if Dr.
McClure could be persuaded to accept
the appointment. After several confer-
ences the matter was arranged. Dr.
McClure is one of the most prominent
members of the Presbyterian church.
For sixteen years he has been a pastor
at Lake Forest. He will continue to
have charge of the church, but will
have assistance. His congregation is
one of the largest and wealthiest in the
presbytery. He was acting President
of the University for fifteen months pre-
vious to the coming of Dr. John M.
Coulter, whom he succeeds. Dr. Mc-
Clure was born in 1848 at Albany,
N. Y., and is of Scotch descent. He
received his preparatory education in
Albany Academy and, after being
graduated from this school, he entered
Yale University. He took a post
sraduate course in. Princeton Theologi-
cal Seminary and graduated with high
honors. His first pastorate was in
New Scotland, N. Y. After five years
of hard work, in 1879 he went abroad
for study and travel. During this trip
he visited Palestine and most of the
European countries. He returned in
1881 and then resumed his ministerial
work in the new field at Lake Forest.
His church was prosperous and ten
years ago a new edifice was built. The
degree of doctor of divinity was given
to Dr. Mc-Clure by the Lake Forest
University.”

Star of the Order of Bolivar, of the

Resolved, That we reco~nize in our

of the people’s interest, and that we
endorse and emphasize the recent utter-
ances of the City and State and In-
dependent Gagette, where they say that
Hon. John F. Keator ‘deserves public
approbation, not only as a matter of

he set and for the benefit which such

men and to increase their number in
