Excerpt from The American Journal of Education, Vol. 9: September, 1860 Esoca C. Wines, D.D. LL.D., first President of the City University, St. Louis, Missouri, was born in Hanover Township, Morris County, New Jersey, on the 17th day of February, 1806. His ancestors were from Wales. They were among the first settlers of the eastern por tion of Long Island, where many of their descendants still reside. One of them, the Rev. Abijah Wines, was the first professor of theol ogy in the Theological Seminary of Bangor, Maine. The father of Dr. Wines was a farmer, and having removed from New Jersey to Vermont when his son was about six years of age, he purchased land on the beautiful and romantic shores of Lake Champlain; and here was laid the foundation of that robust frame and vigorous health, which have aided so largely in the successful prosecution of whatever that son has since undertaken. He does not hesitate to express his great indebtedness to his father for having wisely kept him at work on the farm until he was fifteen years old; for his physical constitu tion was in this way so matured and strengthened, that, in the sever est and most protracted mental labors, he has never broken down, and indeed has never suffered but one serious attack of illness through a life extending over half a century.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Education, 1867, Vol. 17 After much of the copy of Number One was in type, a conference was held with the Rev. Absalom Peters, D. D., who contemplated the publication of a periodical under the title of the American College Ro view, and Educational Magazine or Journal. This conference led to the combination of the two periodicals, and a joint editorship of the Amer ican Journal of Education and College Review. The first number was published in type, style and matter as prepared by the undersigned. With the adoption of the Prospectus already prepared by Dr. Peters for his magazine, modified, so as to merge the prominent feature of the College Review in the more comprehensive title of the American Jour nal of Education. In the preparation of the second number, it became evident that two could not walk, or work together, unless they be agreed, and by mutual arrangement, and for mutual convenience, it was determined after the issue of that number, to discontinue the joint publication, leav ing each party the privilege of publishing an Educational Magazine for which he was entitled to use the first and second number of the Amer ican Journal of Education and College Review, as number one and two of his work. In the spirit and letter of this arrangement, as understood by him, the undersigned resumed the title and plan of his own Journal, and has completed the first volume by the publication of a number for March and for May, with this variation only, that he has given his subscribers more than he originally promised, and in the further prosecution of his work, shall include in the Journal much that he intended for chapters in some of the treatises which were to compose the Library of Education.
