Franklin College honors Dr Hanley six year presidency record
The board renewed and then secured Elijah Abraham Hanley as Franklin College president after initial hesitation. Hanley, born May 26 1871, built up the endowment and improved courses during six years of leadership at Providence First Baptist Church before taking the Franklin post in 1914. He earned degrees from Brown and Chicago University and married Sarah Foster in 1913 with two daughters Ruth and Frances.
