Biographical Sketch
From DePauw Through the Years, volume 1: "The direction of the University was entrusted to twenty-five trustees, named in the charter, with vacancies to be filled by the Indiana Conference, or by other conferences which might in the future be formed from it. The conference or conferences were to appoint not to exceed nine visitors, who should report to the conference or conference on the condition of the university. They, with the trustees, would constitute the Joint Board, entrusted with the appointement of the president of the university." The Joint Board appointed a committee in 1888 to deal with the contest of the will of Washington C. DePauw.
