ADVANCED DEGREES

Rev. Milo True Morrill, who received the degree of Master of Arts in 1906, died at his home in Defiance, Ohio, June 22, 1921, of apoplexy, after a short illness.

The son of E. K. and Susan R. (Barney) Morrill, he was born in North Washington, lowa, May 13, 1865. Having removed at Wahpeton, N. D., he prepared for college at the high school of that place, and learned the printer's trade, by which he supported himself while in college. He graduated from Carleton College in 1889, and then took a year of study at Harvard. For some time from 1891 he was a teacher in Starkey Seminary, Eddytown, N. Y., and then was for a term of years pastor of the Christian church of Woodstock, Vt. A year's study at Dartmouth in sociology and philosophy was followed by his removal to Dayton, Ohio, where he became secretary of foreign missions of the Christian church and editor of The Christian Missionary. In 1919 he gave up this work to accept the chair of Biblical literature and history in the Christian Divinity School, associated with Defiance College. He was a man highly honored and influential in his denomination, and of a fine type of character.

He was the author of "The History of the Christian Denomination in America." The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Defiance College in 1910.

His wife was Alice C., daughter of George H. and Frances (Montague) Vaughan of Woodstock, Vt. She survives him, with two of their three children, Marian L., a sophomore in Defiance College, and Justin M., a senior in high school.
