OLSON, Suptrinttndtrt TAtl EIlTOBICAt iOCIITT When the University of Ne braska first opened its doors to students, September 6, 1871, its chancellor was Allen R. Benton, who came to the University from the presidency of Alliance Col lege in Alliance, Ohio. Chancellor Benton remained at the head of the University for five years, and during that time started it on the way to becoming the great institution it is today. Allen R. Benton was born in Cayuga County, New York, Octo ber 1, 1822. After attending the local schools he went on to El bridge and Fulton Academy in New York and then went to Bethany College in West Virginia from which institution he grad uated in 1847. He then went out to Fairview, Indiana, to open . an academy which during the six years of his management became widely known throughout the Old Northwest. Desiring to further his educa tion, he entered Rochester Uni versity, and while a student there was appointed professor of ancient languages at North western Christian University in Indianapolis. In, 1861 he became president and served as the head of the institution for seven years, resigning to ?xcept ap pointment as professor of Latin at Alliance College. Adminis tration again called him, how ever, and in a few years he be came president of the college. . Though much of his life was spent as administrator, Chancel lor Benton appears to have im pressed his associates more for his scholarly accomplishment than his administrative ability. Howard W. Caldwell, in his pio neer history of education in Ne braska, said of him: "He pre ferred.the life of a student to the active work of the Chancel lorship, and it may be said, without any disparagement of his work and ability, that he was better fitted for the class room than for combating the world. His administration was careful, conservative, and in harmony with the old rather than with the new ideas of edu cation." Professor Samuel Aughey, a member of the first faculty and one of the best known men in Nebraska, describes Chancellor Benton as follows: "He shone in a recitation room . . . in fact, so varied was his scholarship that he was equally at home at almpst every depart ment of college work. He made every object luminous by the clearness of " his analysis. In popular address, when using manuscript, he rarely did him self justice, but his production Who'll We Send In Next?. -r- v. - ' m fY t uniformly read remarkably well. When, however, he dispensed with his manuscript he spoke with rare eloquence and power . . . Neat in person, pure in thoughts, clear in intellect, stu dious in life, courteous to a re markable degree, the charm of the social circle, he was a model Christian, Scholar and gentle man." - The chancellor of the Univer sity of' Nebraska in the early years of its existence had a great deal of "combating the world" to contend, with. The problems of the new University were many, its sources of support few, and its future at times uncertain. Though the University grew steadily, if not spectacularly, during Chancellor Benton's ad ministration, it was clear that he did not want to continue the arduous labors of the chancel lor's office. In 1876 he. resigned from the chancellorship to accept the chair of philosophy and biblical literature , in ... Butler. University. Again, however, he -soon found his way into " administrative work. ; In 1886 he became presi dent ui Butler. PET RACCOON DANGEROUS TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.
