**[[297.george_franklin|The Right Rev. George Franklin Seymour (1829-1906)]]**

Graduated from Columbia College, 1850; D.D., Racine College; LL.D., Columbia
University; D.C.L., University of the South (Sewanee, Tenn.). Founder and First
Warden of St. Stephen's College, Annandale, Dutchess Co., N.Y.; Professor of
Ecclesiastical History in the General Theological Seminary, New York City; Dean
of the same; consecrated first Bishop of Springfield, Illinois, 11 June 1878.

The author once asked the Rt. Rev. John Williams, 4th Bishop of Connecticut, to
define a "high churchman." The instant reply was: "A high churchman, sir, is one
who thinks highly of the church." The author was amused at this characteristic
reply of Bishop Williams, but was not greatly informed.

From a photograph furnished by Bishop Seymour's successor in the Diocese of
Springfield, the Rt. Rev. John Chanler White.
