REV. ISAAC NORTON RENDALL, D. D. The late Dr.'I. N. Rendall was president of Iincoln University for forty years, and then president ex-honore till his death in 1912. Grateful alumni have perpetuated his name in Rendall Presbytery in Oklahoma; the Rendall Memorial Presbyterian Church, New York. and Rendall Academy, Keeling, Tenn. A classmate, Professor J. S. Simonton, Washington, Pa., recently sent a generous donation in his memory. It would be fitting that one of the projected buildings, Dormitory, Qcience Hall or Y.M. C. A. Building, should bear Dr. Rendall's name. ._ 2 LINCOLN UNIVERSITY HERALD.
