The Reverend James Calder, D.D., was a native of Harrisburg, a graduate of Wesleyan College, a Methodist missionary in China, then a Methodist minister in the United States until he became president of Hillsdale College (Michigan) in 1859. It was from Hillsdale that he came to Penn State as Burrowes's successor in 1871 at the age of 54. (It is interesting that when he resigned as President in 1880, Calder became a lecturer of the State Grange and editor of The Farmers' Friend. He died in 1893.)
