Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Scroll, Vol. 1: October, 1919
But all who knew Professor Dean will testify that his life seemed to be one of rare contentment. His peculiarly happy domestic life and his many friendships ran close to.bis college work and contributed to its effectiveness. He came into close personal relation with his students, and this persisted not only during their college life but long after the immediate connection between teacher and pupil was broken. In his infrequent vacations his journeyings east or west were marked by joyful reunions with. Former students, and in the hearts of a_ multitude of these his memory will endure. Professor-dean was a man of broad and kindly spirit, nobly above intolerance and misjudgment. His life was rooted deep in the history of the Disciples of Christ. He was born close to the place where Walter Scott made his first convert. His family were pioneers in the movement. Two of his uncles were well known preachers, one of them being the musically gifted evangelist, of whom Scott said, before a meeting of the Mahoning Association, Give me my. Bible, and Billy Hayden to sing the gospel, and I will go out and convert the world. Professor Dean was educated in the schools of the Disciples. He was for four years in Hiram, entering in 1861, during the presidency of Garfield, then was for one year in Bethany, where he was graduated. His short periods of university work came when he was past middle life, after the strong association's of his life had been formed.
