BIOGRAPHY

The first mark Samuel Dickie made on Albion was as a student. While a student at Albion, he showed much interest in mathematics and was known for solving difficult mathematical equations, spending hours working through the intricacies of a problem. He graduated in 1872.

Six months after graduating from Albion, Dr. Dickie was married to Mary Brockway, the daughter of one of Michigan Methodism’s most widely known clergymen, Rev. William H. Brockway. The Dickies had 4 children who all attended Albion as well: Clarissa Dickie Stewart, Class of 1894; Ada Dickie Hamblen, 1898; Mary Dickie Gillett, 1904; and Brockway Dickie, 1913. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Brockway Dickie, Josephine E. Dickie and Samuel Dickie II were also graduates of Albion, 1937 and 1940 respectively.

For 5 years after graduating from Albion, Samuel Dickie taught in the Dansville Union School and became superintendent of the Hastings public schools. In 1877 he was granted an M.S. degree from Albion and became its professor of mathematics. As a side note, Dickie also received his doctor of laws degree from Albion in 1900.

In 1879, he was ordained to the office of deacon by the Michigan Annual Conference. The same year the Conference requested his appointment to a professorship in Albion College. His first contribution to the face of the campus, as a young professor of mathematics, was made 1882 when he influenced the Board of Trustees to go ahead with the building of a college observatory. As a result, Dickie became the College’s first professor of astronomy in addition to his role as professor of mathematics.

In 1886, Dickie ran for the governorship of Michigan on the Prohibition ticket. He lost but remained active in politics for many years. In 1887, as a sworn enemy of alcohol, he resigned his position on the Albion faculty to take over chairmanship of the Prohibition Party national committee, at which point his public speaking began in earnest. He left his position as chairman of the Prohibition Party to become editor for The Citizen and The New Voice, two Prohibition Party publications.

Alongside his political interests, Dickie retained a strong concern for Methodist matters. In years to come, he would conduct hundreds of chapel services, preach countless sermons, and serve as lay delegate to the General Conference seven times.

From 1896-97, Dickie served as mayor of Albion, on the “dry ticket,” but did not run again due to a sudden need for his attention in college matters. In July of 1897, Dickie was the Chairman of the Committee on the Presidency, who were expected to come up with nominations for a new college president upon the resignation of Rev. Lewis R. Fiske. It wasn’t until the close of the fall term at Albion that the Board finally met to consider a presidential candidate. The Committee’s nominee was Rev. John P. Ashley, Ph.D., then Principal of the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary at Lima, NY.

In 1901, after considerable contention over backward social regulations instituted on campus by the Ashley administration, Albion was again searching for a new president. After Ashley’s resignation, Dr. Dickie was requested to act as president until a successor could be elected. However, it was the consensus of the Board that Dickie should be Ashley’s successor. By 1901, Dr. Dickie had served on virtually every committee and functioned in every possible capacity on campus, including serving for several years without compensation as the college’s secretary and treasurer, and seemed the logical man for the job.

As President of Albion, Dr. Dickie inherited a huge debt. In order to “save” the college, he mortgaged personal property, apparently using the funds to sustain faculty salaries. Through shrewd financial campaigning with church officials and affluent subscribers, Dickie was able to wipe out the deficit within 2 years. His victory was announced January 2, 1903 in the Albion Recorder, and there was a great Jubilee Day for both College and community on January 16^th to celebrate with a four-course turkey dinner, a speech by Governor Bliss, and music.

After conquering the college debt, Dr. Dickie was able to focus more on his personal interests. He was a staunch proponent of the literary societies on campus, in addition to forensics and debate. He was not enthusiastic about intercollegiate athletics, but could be seen from time to time at a game in a dress suit with high collar. Dickie was an appreciator of music, serving for years as president of the Albion Musical Festival Association and chairman of a working committee for the annual May Festival. He was also active in local business enterprises in Albion, serving as president of the Albion Buggy Company, co-founder and director of the Albion Commercial and Savings Bank, and an early advocate for building the Parker Inn. Dickie’s most notorious aversion was the use of tobacco in any form, and he did not allow anyone who used tobacco to compete on a college athletic team or represent the college in debate or forensics. He was also not a fan of fraternal organizations, believing them to provide a foundation for cliques and mayhem, that their members had unfounded notions of “personal superiority” (Fennimore, 414), and that they promoted fun over academic scholarship.

Three buildings were added to campus during the Dickie administration. In 1903, the Lottie L. Gassette Library was built through a gift from Mrs. Charlotte T. Gassette of Albion in honor of her deceased daughter, a one-time student of Albion College. In 1906, the Central Building was so renovated that a new building was nearly constructed; the newly renovated facility was dedicated as Robinson Hall. The final building to go up during Dickie’s administration was the Epworth Physical Laboratory, dedicated in 1916.

It was also during Dr. Dickie’s administration that the College’s summer school agreement with the School of Liberal Arts at Bay View was made. Students were allowed to attend summer classes at Bay View and transfer the credits back to Albion, on the condition that the dean and nearly half of the members of the Albion faculty were hired at Bay View during the summer to make sure that the policies of the College were enforced.

At age 69, 70 being fixed as the age for retirement at Albion College, and in his 20^th year as Albion College president, Dickie instructed the Board of Trustees to begin a search for a new college president. Rev. John W. Laird of the Mount Vernon Place Church in Baltimore, MD was chosen as his successor, and in 1921 Samuel Dickie stepped down as president of Albion College.

President Laird supported two motions by the trustees following Dr. Dickie’s resignation, one making Dickie President Emeritus of Albion College and an active member of the Board, and the other that Dickie be reelected to the position of chairman and treasurer of the Endowment Fund Committee. In 1922, Dickie relinquished this position as well. In 1924, two days after the controversial expulsion of President Laird, Dr. Dickie resigned from the Board of Trustees. He was beginning to feel his years, his hearing failing, having spent 55 years at Albion College as student, instructor and president, and he was ready to sever all formal ties.

Dr. Samuel Dickie died in November of 1925, presumably of a heart attack, leaving the College and the Albion community to grieve his great loss
