Morris, 1L, and 1n 1555 was entered us student in Geaessee Weslevan Sewiuary. After spendiog oue term here, he ecutered collego at Geuessee, graduating in 1859 wiih the highest Lionors of tbe class. Ho camo to Chicago and commenced the stady of law in tho samo year ; but during tho winter of 1859 he was converted ot = Methodist protracted meeting. and imme- diatdly alandoned Dlacksious for a wudy of the Diblo and tho Armi- oizn fatbers. IHe entered Garrett Diblical [nstitute 1n 1860, obtaining the degreo of Bach- slor of Divinity in 186L. It was whilo a stu- dent here that he mauifested eome of thosa phyeicai qualities that Lelp to make Lim £o poi- olar. Strongly buut and full of courage, he was smong the first aud boldest 1o aid t_the rescue of the survivors of the ili-fated Lady Llgin, that foundered off tho Evanston ccast in Sep- ‘ember, 1860. Havidg zraduated, Mr. Fowler was immedi- ately placed iu pastoral cbarge of a promiuent Methodist_church in this aty, the Jefferson Stree:, which bas siuce taken the namo of the Centenary Church, At the end of turee yeurs be was transfeired to the Ciark Street Church, and from theuce to the Ceutenary Church, Ia theso positions his reputation grew as an elo- guent pulpit o:ater, and bhis church was sure to be visited by his Methodist brethren all over the sountry who had heard Lis name mentioncd. After the great fire be wes sent Zast to sceure money and aid for the denomivation, which was s conspicuons loser by tha: calamity. In Phila- elphia Lis success was =0 great that ke socnred £40,000.

In this important position, second tonoue in the dsnomumation, periaps, he has secured tho confidence of Lis church. aud has placed tho University in a higher position than it has occupied hitberto. Dr. Fowler was one of the thrce representa- tives of the Methedist Episcopal Cluren chiosen to conveyto the General Covfercuce of the Church Scuth of Louisville, lsst spring, the goed will of the Northern Ilethodists. He owes his success more to b uatural gifte ard powers than to discipline acquired in ihe schools. Equipped with a strong capital of phyeical force, and with a keen intellect, be is quick to see, prompt to plan, and inexbaustible in push and energy. In his intercourse with fellow men he is genial and even jocose, makiag friends readily, and rarely losivg any.
