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.
