History of Hanover College Continued at Hanover
Dr. Matthews accepts election to Hanover College and travels to secure funding for a new Theology chair. The board pledges $600 yearly for his services and a temporary log house is built for his family. Funds from Philadelphia, New York, and eastern donors enable rebuilding after a fire destroys the initial structure.
