Rev. JOHN
BARKER, D. D.
Thursday, May 31, 1860 - Death
of The Rev. John Barker, D.D., President of Alleghany College--This gentleman
died suddenly, in Pittsburg, Pa. He was a member of the Pittsburg
Conference of the M. E. Church. He succeeded the Rev. Homer J. Clark, D.
D., in the Presidency of the institution, in the winter or spring of 1847.
The college was just then emerging from the financial embarrassments which had
long crippled its energies and usefulness,--the tide of prosperity set in motion
by the endowment system then first perceptibly reaching its walls and landing
within them hundreds of young men who gladly availed themselves of the cheap
endowment to secure the advantages of a collegiate course. This system was
devised by the retired President, Dr. Clark, at a time when the institution was
in a most desponding condition, and when those who had struggled and toiled for
it through many years were despairing of sustaining it with any success.
The same system has since been adopted in other institutions, similarly
situated, with the happiness results. [Vincent's Semi-Annual
