Excerpt from The Forester, 1907, Vol. 11 Dr. Halsey's service to Lake Forest, however, has not been confined to its College. He has always taken an active part in whatever tends to upbuild its social, political, liter ary, moral and religious life. As one of the organizers of the Art institute and of the University Club, as Alderman and Acting Mayor, as Superintendent of the Public Schools, President of the Board of Education and of the Public Library Board, as secretary of the Law and Order League, as Elder in the Church for over twenty years, Bible Class leader, Representative many times to the Presbytery and Synod, and Commissioner to the Gen eral Assembly, his influence has been far reaching. This is only a suggestion of large and varied service to Lake Forest and its institutions, but enough to show the wisdom of the Board of Trustees in again calling to the Acting Presidency, Dr. John J. Halsey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
