      PROF. WILLIAM W. CAMPBELL, A.B.,
  
 [p. 436] director of music at Westminster College,
  New Wilmington, occupies a prominent position in the country as an
  educator and also is recognized as an authority on music. Professor
  Campbell was born October 25, 1869, in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania,
  and is a son of Rev. William and Mary A. (Turner) Campbell.
  
  Rev. William Campbell is a retired minister of the United Presbyterian
  Church. For a period of sixteen years he was connected with the faculty
  of Westminster College. His father, Ross Alexander Campbell, came to
  Lawrence County from Scotland.
  
  William W. Campbell was mainly educated at Westminster College, where he
  took both an A. B. degree and his first degree in music. After leaving
  college Professor Campbell accepted the chair of Latin and history in
  the Pawnee Academy. In the fall of 1892 he received from the governing
  board of the Nebraska Institute for the Blind an appointment as director
  of music there, a position he filled for two years and then resigned in
  order to accept a similar one in Baird College, at Clinton, Mo., where
  he remained for four years. He then took charge of the music at Trinity
  University, in Waxahachie, Tex. Prior to Professor Campbell's coming to
  Westminster College, the department of music had by no means occupied
  its proper position in an institution of the high standing of this one.
  Professor Campbell soon had the whole department reorganized and from a
  student roll of thirty in two years he increased it to 119. It now is
  one of the leading departments of study.
  
  On August 30, 1899, Professor Campbell was married to Edna Pauline
  Fillmore who is a daughter of Lorain A. Fillmore and a lineal descendant
  of former President Millard Fillmore, a distinguished statesman of the
  United States, who succeeded to the office on the death of President
  Taylor in 1850. Professor and Mrs. Campbell have one son, William
  Fillmore, an engaging, intelligent child of six years. The family belong
  to the United Presbyterian Church.
