Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rockford College Annual, 1908 Since 1890, with the exception of one year spent in study, Miss Gulliver had been Head of the Department of Philosophy and Biblical Literature in the Seminary and in the College, and during the prolonged illness of Miss Emily K. Reynolds, she had been Acting President. Miss Gulliver is the daughter of the Rev. John Putnam Gulliver, D. D., LL. D President of Knox College from. 1868 to 1872, and Stone Professor of the Relations of Christianity and Science in Andover Theological Seminary from 1879 until his death in 1894. Dr. Gulliver was perhaps best known as a reform-er, a close personal friend of Governor Buckingham, the war governor of Connecticut. Before the founding of any of the prominent Colleges for women, he was an earnest advocate of the higher education of women. The devotion of Dr. Gulliver to the cause of education has been continued in the work of his daughter. Miss Gulliver received her first degree as a member of the first class of Smith College, 1879. After some years spent in study, largely under the direction of her father, she received from Smith College in 1888 the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. From 1890 to 1892 she held the position of Head of the Department of Philosophy and Biblical Literature in Rockford Semi nary. The following year she spent in Germany doing advanced work in philosophy at the University of Leipsic under the direction of Professor Wilhelm Wundt. From that time Miss Gulliver has been Head of the Department of Philosophy and Biblical Literature in Rockford College, and, much to the satisfaction of all, continues her work in ethics and Bible.
