Description1891-1914: Ethlebert D. Warfield was the first layman appointed President of Lafayette College, but he studied Theology at Princeton while president here and in 1899 was ordained. Although he did not teach the course in Mental and Moral Philosophy he felt obliged to keep watch over its teaching. This lead to difficulties with his ward Assistant Professor Stephens who set fire to Pardee Hall and with Professor Mecklin whom he forced to resign for teaching evolution. The end results of this incident were his own resignation and the formation of the AAUP. A fund raising drive during the 75th anniversary celebration in 1907 was successful but revealed some of the disadvantages of the denominational attachment.
