Richard McIlwaine
Edit ProfileEducation
McIlwaine entered Petersburg Classical Institute at the age of ten, and in January 1850 enrolled in Hampden-Sydney College, where he was an honor graduate with the degree of A. B. in 1853. He studied law at the University of Virginia, 1853-55; was enrolled at Union Theological Seminary, Hampden-Sydney, 1855-57, and in 1857-58 studied in the Free Church College, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Career
From 1858 to 1861, Richard was pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Amelia Court House, Virginia. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he became lieutenant and chaplain of the 44th Virginia Volunteers, continuing in this capacity until 1862, when precarious health caused him to retire from active service. Returning to Farmville, Virginia, he became volunteer chaplain of the army hospital located there, and was pastor until 1870. From September 1870 till 1872, he was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Lynchburg, Virginia; from 1872 to 1882, he was coordinate secretary of the Executive Committee of Foreign Missions and the Executive Committee of Home Missions of the Southern Presbyterian body, Presbyterian Church in the United States. In 1882-83, he was sole secretary of the latter committee. These positions he filled with signal ability, greatly stimulating interest in mission work. From 1883 to 1904, he was president of Hampden-Sydney College and filled also the chair of moral philosophy and Bible studies. His administration was one of sustained vigor. The curriculum was broadened; the endowment was enlarged; the faculty was increased. He had marked gifts as a teacher. In 1901, without seeking the position, and without opposition, he was elected by the citizens of Prince Edward County as a member of the state constitutional convention, and became chairman of the committee of that body on education and public instruction. He retired from the presidency of Hampden-Sydney College in 1904 and thereafter lived in Richmond, Virginia, until his death. He was buried at Petersburg. McIlwaine was a prolific writer for church and secular papers.
