No. 45
Dr. Crissman
President of
Beaver College.
Committees Agree on Sewickley
Pastor to be New Head
of the College.
The Rev. Dr. George D. Grissman, pastor of the First Methodist
Episcopal church of this place, was
the recipient of congratulations the
early part of the week when it became known that he had been
selected as the new president of
Beaver college. This puts an end
to the question that has caused
much discussion since the unexpected resignation of the Rev. Dr.
Arthur Staples a few months ago.
At that time, in accordance with
.an agreement with the Pittsburgh
conference, a committee was appointed by the board of trustees of
Beaver college to report their
choice to a committee of three,
which had the power of veto. The
trustees committee, composed of
W. S. Moore, R. W. Darragh and
A. R. Rayner, met the conference
committee, composed of the Rev.
J. W. Miles, the Rev. Dr. E. J.
Knox and the Rev. J. W. Hoffman,
in the Hotel Anderson, Pittsburg,
and the announcement of the
former committee that it had decided on Dr. Grissman was approved.
The action of the two committees has been ratified by the Trustees of the Gollege, and Dr. Grissman has formally accepted the
position.
Dr. Grissman is a native of Bedford county, and was educated at
Dickinson Gollege and at normal
and special schools devoted to the
training of teachers, and after a
post graduate course of three
years received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Allegheny
College.

REV. GEORGE D. GRISSMAN, Ph. D.
He was for seven years principal
of public schools in various cities
in the State, four years on the faculty of the Galifornia State Normal

spent in the following places:
Stahlstown, three years; Alver-
town, three years; Galifornia, four
years; West Newton, six years,
and Sewickley, three years.
During his pastorate in Sewickley, a new parsonage has been
erected and extended improvements made to the chapel of the
ohurch property. One hundred and
forty-five members have been
added to the church, which is now
in a very flourishing condition. Dr.
Crissman's relations to his congre
gation have been* most pleasant,
and his going away is not less regretted by him than them.
Presiding Elder T. N. Boyle has
appointed Rev. Appleton Bash, of
Beaver, to succeed Rev. Grissman.
