The Reverend William W. Ranney, who succeeds the Reverend Robert C. Falconer '05 as pastor of the College Church, has begun his work and has taken up his residence in Hanover.
Mr. Ranney is a graduate both of Williams College and of Andover Theological Seminary. After being graduated from the latter, Mr. Ranney was a member of the Andover Maine Missionary Band. After four years of service in this organization he was called to the pastorate of the Park Congregational church of Hartford, Conn. After thirteen years in Hartford he accepted a call to the first Congregational Church of Colorado Springs, Colorado. He occupied this position for six years, ministering to a community similar in many ways to that of Hanover. The past year has been spent by Mr. Ranney in study at the Yale Divinity School and at the Andover Theological School at Cambridge.
