“I was a student in Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, Pa., when the Rebels came North and I enlisted in the student company and was in the first skirmish of the battle of Gettysburg. I graduated from the College in the Class of 1865; studied Theology in the Theological Seminary, Gettysburg. The College gave me the title of Doctor of Divinity, and at the same time elected me a Trustee of the College. I served as President of the Board of Directors of the Theological Seminary and laid the cornerstone of the new Theological Seminary Building. I am the author of ‘The Wonderful Story of Life and Death as Written in the Books of Nature and Revelation.’ ”’ [Matthew G. Boyer, Attch, Pa. (1919).]
