Known for both his wisdom and overwork, Prescott reshaped the church’s educational system and politics. He was president of three colleges at once, and founded or laid the groundwork for four (Union, Walla Walla, Newbold, and Avondale). He initiated curriculum reforms that initially met with strong opposition, but his organizational reforms triumphed in 1901. An energetic man of God, Prescott will inspire you to better things.
