The following story, written by Fred Winship of The DePauw, appeared in that university newspaper on Wednesday and is of interest to many Greencastle people: Just two doors from the corner of Locust and Seminary Streets is a little old house that is out of this wo: id. Modern DePauw moves rapidly 1 y with the latest sophistication of'the twentieth century via Marshall Fic l I s but just to stop at the big sli.!'- irk hickory and step onto the wide brick walk is to turn back

Pres entiy tm- lady of the house will answer a lovely lady with the gracj, of another age. She is Mrs France; M Cheek, the owner, whos< family bought the residence fiorn their friend Bishop Thomas Bowman lifth jiitsidt nt of DePauw University Although it has been the Cheek nome since President Bowman lef DePauw ii 1872. this revered educators spirit still permeates its dePll be back next week, and ’til lightful proportioned rooms and his memory is kept alive by the Iasi surviving daughter of the family that

were his dear friends.

Bishop Bowman's Pictures In the dadoed and floral wallpapered halls Mr.-- Cheek will point out the picture of Bishop Bawman over the door to the study "that usted to be the Bowman children’s room.” There is another picture of Bowman as a young man hanging over a

pioneer settle to the right.

To the left is the large bedroom furnished with two mammoth fourposter beds, rare Americana. Beneath one is a little trundle made up with a red and white ratchwork

fireplace and low sunlit windows draped with real lace curtains held back by luster knobs. Every bit of furniture is an early American or Victorian piece; Bishop Bowman would feel at home if he could return. The most intriguing antiques are the two rare grandfather's clocks that are Mrs. Cheek’s pride and jov. Former Senate Chaplain Bishop Bowman was made president in 1858, and during the Civil ,Var he was chaplain of the United States senate. His contemporaries •ailed him "the finest platform talk■r in all the western country.” Mr-;. Chcvk remembers when the Bowmans' jwned the whole block and Mrs. Bownan’s flower bed stretched the enire length of the street. Little Teddy Sowman used to have to weed the rard. He let a little sapling grow one lay and now it is a large nut tree >y the walk. Only one of Bishop Bowman’s amily is left his daughter, Sallie to win an Caldwell of Orange, N. J. Although she was a small girl when ihe lived in the Seminary street hame she recalls how she loved the muse with its big yard and old trees. Especially does she remember Eastertime when her mother would hide nests of eggs about the yard and would say, "Sallie, I think some rabbits have been out there.” Then she would go out with a basket to hunt the caster eggs on either side of the big brick walk, the widest in Green-

castle.

As we leave by the walk and step ngain into January, 1944, it will be hard to believe that we have not really been in the president of DePauw’s home for a little visit In 1858, so little has change infringed on the Bowman homo. Walking about campus the heritage Bishop Bowman has left us, will now seem more real— Bowman Memorial gymnasium, the Bowman door in East College, the Bowman memorial organ in Meharry Hall, the Bowman vestibule and the Bowman -stninvd glass window in Gobin Church the gifts of his grateful children to our Alma Mater. Bishop Bowman lies in the Forest
