- Abstract
The article profiles Malcolm Dana, director of research for the Interseminary Commission for the training of the U.S. Rural Ministry, who died at the age of 70 on August 17, 1940, at Waban, Massachusetts. Born in Norwich, Connecticut, the son of a Congregational minister, he graduated from Northfield, Minnesota-based Carleton College in 1898 and Hartford Theological Seminary in 1901, the year he was ordained to the Congregational ministry. He served pastorates in Rhode Island, Maine, and Iowa, in each of which he was noted as a community leader. In October 1919, he became the founder and first director of the national Town and Country Department of the Congregational churches. From 1929 to 1938 he taught courses on the rural church in Yale Divinity School and Hartford Theological Seminary. In the fall of 1939 he taught in Bangor Theological Seminary and, at the time of death, was engaged in writing a history of the first ten years of the Interseminary Commission.
