GLASS OF 1864

Rev. Homer Taylor Fuller, Ph.D., D.D., LL.D., was born in Lempster, N. H., Nov. 15, 1838, and died at Saranac Lake, N. Y., Aug. 15, 1908. He prepared for college at Kimball Union Academy, and entered in the class of '63. Ill health caused a year's cessation of study after his freshman year, and he finished his course with the class of '64. For the first three years after graduation he was principal of Fredonia (N. Y.) Academy, and then studied theology at Andover and Union Seminaries. From 1869 to 1871 he was pastor of the Congregational church at Peshtigo, Wis. By native gifts he was a teacher, and he was now summoned to a congenial field as principal of St. Johnsbury (Vt.) Academy. Here he had a, successful career of eleven years, until in 1882 he accepted an invitation to become president of Worcester Institute of Technology. There from 1882 to 1894 he did a work of rare usefulness, leaving that post to take the presidency of Drury College, at Springfield, Mo., where he remained until 1905. Ill health then caused his retirement to Fredonia, N. Y., where he had married, June 15, 1870, Miss Etta Jones, and where his widow remains. Of their three children, Mary B. Fuller is an instructor in the history department of Smith College, Henry J. Fuller is at the head of the Canadian Fairbanks Company of Montreal, and Mrs. Anna F. Miller resides in Springfield, Mo. Doctor Fuller was an educator of the highest type, a Christian gentleman, who won friends wherever he went and used his talents and attainments for the service of others.
