FOREWORD The announcement of thirt\'-fi\'e millions of resources fheToul added to the treasuries of the academies, colleges, uni- Result versities, theological schools, and \\'esley Foundations of the Methodist Episcopal Church is the formal message of this volume. The development was in progress for nearly two quadrenniums. Howe\'er, fully sixty-two per cent of the total, or twenty-two million dollars, is comparatively new. The gifts, pledges, properties, probated bequests, et cetera, representing it have been realized since the General Conference of 1916, or within the past twenty-eight months. The movement was named the Educational-Jubilee of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Because the name of the movement and the name of the Educational-Jubilee Commission of the Church were used interchangeably, there has been some confusion in the public thought. The Commission has dealt with the propaganda that looked to this large increase in our educational resources. To this end it conducted many "Jubilee Campaigns." This mes- sage deals with the Jubilee as a whole, and reports returns to the treasuries of our institutions from every kind and type and form of development. Essentially, this is a composite \olume. The writer of A Composite Volume this Foreword is its compiler and editor. He has been assisted most ably by the regular Jubilee workers and others whose names appear in \arious capacities on the title pages. He has been assisted also in no small way by the greater company of men and women who were associated in the Jubilee ser\'ice, and who have responded cheerfully and happily to requests for incidents and ex- periences on the field, which could not have been known to the editor otherwise. Many of these we ha\-e used verbatim. Some we have condensed. In other instances we ha\e joined two or more together. Sometimes we have used them without quota- 13 THE EDUCATIONAL-JUBILEE tion marks. Besides these, there remains a goodly supply not used in any way. This does not mean that we think we have selected the best from the splendid accumulation of matter sent us by the Jubilee workers. It means only that we have selected the materials that have seemed to us to fit best into the general scheme, plan, purpose, and mission of this volume. All these good folks have placed the editor under obligations, and he here and now makes grateful acknowledgment. Special acknowledgment is due The Reverend Clarence E. Flynn, associate editor. To his loyalty, devotion, skill, acumen, and keen discernment the Educational-Jubilee, the Board of Education, the Educational Association, and the Church are under obligation. Wider Ac- It is the aim of this volume to present the faces of the the Episcopal "ment "i^rnbers of the Commission, Advisory Com- mittee, and the Jubilee workers who were employed more or less permanently through the Central OfiSce. This Central Office force numbered forty-two people. It would be a pleasure to our constituents to see in this book the faces of that multitude of other folks who gave of their time, strength, devotion, and efficiency as helpers in bringing the Jubilee task to successful issue. Their name was legion, for they were thousands. Nearly all of them served without money consideration. What need I say more? Their faces are not here, but the best blood of their hearts and the best faith of their lives are embodied in the achievements of which this book is simple story. In addition to the faces which do appear, we have under- taken to carry in halftone one building or campus scene of each one of our institutions of every grade. These have been selected without reference to whether they are rep- resented in the financial returns. Without economy of time, expense, or personal comfort, the group of people responsible for the compilation and presentation of this volume have toiled that it might be accurate as to statement of fact, and competent as to presentation. PM^jWe In dedicating it to the Board of Education of the Errors Methodist Episcopal Church and to the Educational Asso- 14 THE EDUCATIONAL-JUBILEE ciation of the Methodist Episcopal Church, we crave their indulgence. We know full well that notwithstanding the oft-repeated checking and comparing, some errors will have escaped us. We present it to the Church and to the general public with no little concern that it may be pronounced worth- while—the story, not the millions; of course the thirty- five millions are worthwhile. The task was tremendous. It looked impossible. But A Large Task God was on His throne; His generous folks got busy; and all His people seemed to grow interested. The prayers of the multitudes were unbottled; the hundreds grew into thousands, the thousands into millions, and the millions multiplied until they were five and thirty. To God be all the glory. To His Church be the greater opportunity. To His folks be everlasting gratitude. Faithfully and sincerely, John W. Hancher. President Samuel Plantz Secretary, Jubilee Commission Bishop Thomas Nicholson Chairman, Executive Committee BOOK I ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER I PIONEERING There have been a good many significant and striking a Telling hours in the history of our Church. One of them was the ^"'" hour when the Bishops adopted the appeal for the Twentieth Century Thank-offering. They had not been of one mind as to the amount they should ask, though they were wholly united in their recognition of the mercies of God through the years. They finally adopted the sum of twenty millions, because they were coming to the beginning of the Twentieth Century. But they were almost overwhelmed by the size of their own conclusions when they did it. Quite as significant as the offering itself was the pro- TenlUillions portion of it which these leaders of the Church decided {?' Christian bducafaon should be given to Christian education. They were not professional educators. They were not college and uni- versity presidents supremely interested in their own in- stitutions. They were general superintendents of the Church, charged with the duty of "overseeing the spiritual and temporal business of the Church." With the whole church and the whole world in their view, they decided to ask the Church to give ten of these twenty millions for Christian education. It is doubtful whether a more hope- ful thing has happened in our recent history than that. All that was twenty years ago. The movement itself The Present "*'*™'"*"* has pretty nearly become ancient history.

From Marsden’s perspective, liberal Protestantism eased the transition from the seemingly innocent methodological perspective to the more insidious ideologi- cal variety that prevented religious themes from entering the university “market- place of ideas.” Julie Reuben, while not discounting Marsden’s argument, does complicate his perspective by looking more specifically at how religion was conceived in relation to the search for truth at major universities in this era.

The Commission on Archives and History is pleased to announce our ninth annual Retreat that will be held at Pine Lake Camp on September 6-7, 2019. Join us as we celebrate the 150 year legacy that is the history of the United Methodist Women. We look back to the 1869 founding of the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. And then on to the development of the many other women’s organizations that grew up in all our predecessor denominations, including the Woman’s Missionary Society of the WFMS—Founded 1869 Evangelical Association and Church (1891), the Women’s Missionary Association of the United Brethren Church(1875), the Women’s Society of World Service of the EUB (1946), the Woman’s Society of Christian Service and Wesleyan Service Guild of the Methodist Church (1939) that preceded the founding of the modern UMW in 1973. Our program will begin on Friday with a presentation by our conference historian, Sandy Kintner entitled “Stepping Out of Their Place.” Sandy will speak on the social conditions which led middle class women to move out of the sometimes confining walls of their homes to become active in associations for social reform including women’s foreign missionary societies. The membership numbers in these missionary Appleton Crescent April 22, 1871 societies became much larger than those in either the suffrage or temperance crusades of the time.

    United Methodist Bishops Ordination Chain 1784 - 2012 General Commission on Archives and History Madison, New Jersey 2012 UNITED METHODIST BISHOPS in order of Election This is a list of all the persons who have been consecrated to the office of bishop in The United Methodist Church and its predecessor bodies (Methodist Episcopal Church; Methodist Protestant Church; Methodist Episcopal Church, South; Church of the United Brethren in Christ; Evangelical Association; United Evangelical Church; Evangelical Church; The Methodist Church; Evangelical United Brethren Church, and The United Methodist Church). The list is arranged by date of election. The first column gives the date of election; the second column gives the name of the bishop. The third column gives the name of the person or organization who ordained the bishop. The list, therefore, enables clergy to trace the episcopal chain of ordination back to Wesley, Asbury, or another person or church body. We regret that presently there are a few gaps in the ordination information, especially for United Methodist Central Conferences. However, the missing information will be provided as soon as it is available. This list was compiled by C. Faith Richardson and Robert D. Simpson .
