Rev. Irving Channon, SU Divinity School dean from 1921-1931

Image
Irving Monroe Channon was born in 1862 in Durant, Iowa. He received his education at Griswold College (B.A., 1887) and at Oberlin College (M.A.). He was conferred a B.D. degree by Oberlin Theological Seminary in 1890. He was ordained as a minister of the Congregational Church in 1888. Channon and his wife Mary started their work under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in 1893 and served as missionaries of the Congregational Christian Churches for 40 years. This article by Ligaya Magbanua Simpkins outlines how the Channons laid the groundwork for what is now the Silliman University Divinity School.  I used the tiny photo in the Magbanua-Simpkins article as reference. The Divinity School had sent me a larger version of the same photo, but it had been distorted by the angle of the camera.

Paul T. Lauby, Th. D, dean from 1961-1965

He was Silliman's vice president for academic affairs in the late 60s, and then general secretary of the United Board of Christian Higher Education in Asia  from 1970 to 1989.   He was the minister who married my parents, and in March or April 1979, he and his wife Edna hosted us at their home in Montclair, New Jersey. My memories of that visit are of course a child's -- a quiet feeling of joy and contentment as we walked through the spring woods, sleeping under the sloping eaves of a house more than a hundred years old, a wardrobe filled with intriguing, fur-collared coats from decades past, a beagle called Nugget. They were extremely nice people, I remember that. A happy weekend, and for many years after that those short moments on that walk in which I wandered off alone, (yet always keeping the adults in sight) over the wet leaves, peering at the pa...

A young Dr. Udarbe

Image
Dr. Proceso U. Udarbe was the first Filipino dean of the DS, serving from 1965-1970. He was a family friend, and one of my father's oldest colleagues. The photograph provided me must have been taken in the late 1960s, before I was born. In the photo he looks quite different from the Dr. Udarbe I was acquainted with in the 1980s.
