This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Malcolm MacVicar was born on September 30, 1829, in Dunglass, Argyleshire, Scotland. When he was six years old his father, John, and his mother, Janet MacTavish, left the Highlands for Canada with their twelve children, settling near Chatham, Ontario.
Here frontier conditions and a deeply religious home life gave lasting direction to the boy's future career.
MacVicar's early education was undertaken with a view to his entering the Presbyterian ministry. Since there were no schools in the settlement, the local Presbyterian pastor, a University of Edinburgh graduate, prepared Malcolm for Knox College, Ontario, which he entered in 1850.
Three years later, he changed his profession of faith and became a Baptist, in which denomination he was ordained in 1856. He never held a pastorate, however, but turned almost immediately to teaching.
After the educational success but financial failure of a private venture in tutoring young men for college, MacVicar left for the United States, where he entered the University of Rochester as a senior.
Upon receiving the degree of A. B. in 1859, MacVicar engaged in teaching and finally became principal of the Brockport Collegiate Institute, where, excepting for one year at the Buffalo Central High School, he remained till 1867. During this period, he so made his mark in secondary education in New York that he was appointed chairman of a committee to report on the operation of the regents' examinations just instituted.
He was particularly interested in the "teachers classes" in the academies, which New York State was still utilizing for part of its supply of teachers for the common schools. Believing that the utmost these classes could do was too little, he became largely instrumental in securing in 1866 legislation for four new normal schools. This leadership brought him the principalship of the first normal school under the law, that at Brockport.
Owing to the strain of organizing it, his health gave way, but rather than accept his resignation, the state granted him a year's leave of absence. Restored in health by a Western trip, he was appointed, upon his return, to open and organize the Potsdam state normal school. Here from 1869 to 1880 he was at the peak of his normal school career; nevertheless he was glad to accept a call to the Michigan state normal school at Ypsilanti, where he would be free from the unhappy conflict of dual control which characterized New York state educational administration.
Again worn out with hard work, he welcomed in 1881 an appointment to the faculty of the Toronto Baptist College, where he might return to his early interest in the philosophy of religion. When this college became the theological department of McMaster University, he reluctantly became its first chancellor (1887 - 90).
After succeeding in its initial organization he resigned to superintend the educational work of the American Baptist Home Mission Society (1890 - 1900). The last post, and one he held till shortly before his death, was the presidency of Virginia Union University (1900 - 1904).
MacVicar was a prominent American educator active during the latter half of the 19th century. His success as an administrator is attested by his succession of offices; his ability as a teacher, however, was no less prominent. His mechanical skill, which had enabled him to earn his college tuition in a ship-carpenter's shop in Cleveland, made him ingenious in inventing mechanical contrivances as aids to classroom exposition, of which his tellurian globe was the most notable. At a later date, he was instrumental in instituting a department of manual training in Woodstock College, Canada. Among his publications was Principles of Education (1892). Under MacVicar's leadership, the Society founded Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia, and from the school's founding in 1899 until his death in 1904, MacVicar was the first president. MacVicar Hall, a women's residence hall, is named for him. MacVicar Hospital, at Spelman College, is also named for him, owing to his involvement with the American Baptist Home Mission Society.

Throughout his life, MacVicar was addicted to hard work without the usual forms of relaxation. Even his year's quest of health in the West was spent in reorganizing the school system of Leavenworth, Kansas.
In 1865, MacVicar married Isabella McKay, a childhood friend, by whom he had three sons and a daughter.
