John Brewer Demotte '74

 

John B. DeMotte was principal of Asbury University's preparatory department from 1874-83, professor of mathematics from 1880-82, and professor of physics from 1882-91.  He also conducted the early orchestra.  DeMotte received the second Ph.D. awarded by DePauw in 1887.  He is pictured here as a faculty member in 1887.

Philip Shaffner Baker '74

 

Philip S. Baker, pictured here in his 13th year on the DePauw faculty, in 1887, graduated from Asbury in 1874 with a 99.91 academic average.  In the fall of '74, he was made an Instructor of Natural Science and English, and while still teaching he attended the Indiana Medical College and earned the M.D. degree in 1879. The Department of Chemistry was two years old when Asbury became DePauw in 1884, and Baker became the first Professor of Chemistry. While remaining on DePauw’s faculty, he later studied at Harvard and at Johns Hopkins, and he lectured at the Indiana Medical College in Indianapolis.  A son, Ross Allen Baker, was born in 1886. A member of Psi Phi’s Class of 1906, he too would become a chemist and a prominent professor.
