    CARL G. LAWRENCE was born at Madison, Wis., in 1871. His parents, both
natives of Norway, were among the earliest settlers of Wisconsin. Mr. Lawrence
received his early training in the public schools of Madison. After compleiting
a four-years' high-school course, and devoting some time to teaching in the
public schools, he entered the University of Wisconsin, from which institution
he graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Letters. Prof. Lawrence entered the
university with the particular aim of fitting himself for the teacher's
profession, and to that end has made an extensive study of pedagogy, psychology
and such other branches as he intended to teach. His course in Latin extended
through a period of eight years. He has also taken a separate course in Norse
literature.

    He accepted a call to the professorship of Latin and history at Augustana
college in the fall of 1894.
