Wilbur Israel Cogshall

Wilber Israel Cogshall was born on February 13, 1850 in Concord, Michigan.  His father was Reverend Israel Cogshall, a well-known preacher who served four times as presiding elder.  Wilbur converted at the age of seventeen, while working at Berkey & Gay Furniture factory in Grand Rapids.  He soon felt the urge to follow in his father’s footsteps and moved to Israel Cogshall’s district at the age of twenty with his wife.  Soon after he joined the Conference on trial.  He was sent first to Parkville, but served in seventeen more communities before retiring in 1916, having spent a total of fifty-eight years in the ministry.    He and his wife, Mattie Leavitt, had five children together, Nellie, Grace, Wilbur A., Fred C., and Mattie.  Nellie died in childhood, but the other four went on to success in academics.    Wilbur received an honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity from Albion College where he was a trustee from 1890-1896.  He was one of the youngest people to be elected a delegate to the General Conference, and went on to be elected four times over.  He was also a member of the Committee on Conference Relations for thirteen years, served on the Conference board of Trustees for fourteen years, Assistant Secretary for seven years, and Secretary for another seven.    Wilbur was often sought out by others to answer questions on church law as he had a legal mind and was considered one of the best councils during Conference judicial proceedings.  Those who knew him described him as funny, with a quick sense of humor.  He loved stories, both hearing them and telling them, and could generally be found entertaining a large crowd during Conference sessions.  He was skilled in the art of rhetoric, with extensive knowledge of the Bible, and both his debates and sermons left distinct impressions on those fortunate enough to hear them.   Wilbur Israel Cogshall died at the age of seventy-eight on October 13, 1928 in South Haven, Michigan. See Albion College Special Collections for information on the Rev. Wilbur Israel Cogshall Collection.

Dr. James Curtis, Class of 1944

Dr. James L. Curtis, an Albion native, is a 1944 graduate of the College. The collection donated by James contains 1600 books on topics ranging from literature and psychology to sociology and religion. The collection is especially rich in works of Afro-American history and literature, as well as classic works of psychology. During his college years, James was instrumental in establishing a local branch of the NAACP, which fought to desegregate schools in the city of Albion. James graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School in 1946 and received certification in psychoanalytic medicine in 1954 from Columbia University. He was associate dean of the Cornell University Medical School for 10 years and recently retired from the position of clinical professor emeritus of psychiatry at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He received a Distinguished Alumni Award from Albion College in 1968 and an honorary Doctor of Science degree in 1992. In 2003, James published a book entitled, Affirmative Action in Medicine: Improving Health Care for Everyone, based on a 30-year study of medical students. In it, James tracked the progress of minority and non-minority students in medical school and followed them through their residencies and professional practices. He believes the study demonstrates the social benefits of affirmative action.
