EMERITUS PROF. CAMPBELL SUCCUMBS TO PNEUMONIA

A severe attack of pneumonia following several years of ill health resulted in the death at Concord, N.H., October 18, of Gabriel Campbell, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy. Professor Campbell came to Dartmouth in 1883 from Bowdoin College where he had taught for two years preceding. Since that time he has been closely associated with the life of the College and community. From 1867 to 1881 he was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota and acted as vice-president of the University during the last nine years he was there.

Professor Campbell received the degree of Bachelor of Pedagogy from Michigan Normal College in 1861, was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan in 1865, and received the degree of Bachelor of Divinity at Chicago Theological Seminary in 1868. From 1870 to 1872 he was a student at the University of Berlin. The degree of Master of Pedagogy was conferred upon him by Michigan Normal College in 1892 and Dartmouth awarded him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1886. Professor Campbell twice declined college presidencies, the position being offered to him at the University of Minnesota in 1868 and at Western Reserve in 1889. He was the author of numerous pamphlets and books and a member of many learned societies.

Professor Campbell was born at Dalrymple, Scotland, August 19, 1838, and came to America in 1842. He is survived by a widow, one son and one daughter.
