with Butler university, at lrvington,
Ind.. holding the presidency for a num
ber of years, and continuing as an in

eighty years of age Dr. Benton is as
hale and hearty tih a young man. His
ent-lie life has been devoted to educa

bein his popularity with the students.
His character as well as his devotion
