Atlanta, Ga., which position he still holds. In consequence
of the resignation of the president, the Rev. Dr.
Thierkield, he has been for several months the chairman of
the faculty, and the executive officer of the institution.
He is also the Secretary of the Stewart Foundation for
Africa, a member of the American Negro Academy, and a member
of the American Historical Association, which last society
numbers among its members some of the most learned men in
this and other countries. Dr. Bowen received the degree of
A. M. from the University of New Orleans in 1886, and that
of D. D. from Gammon Theological Seminary in 1892.

Amid all these engrossing occupations, Dr. Bowen has been a
voluminous writer and an indefatigable lecturer. His
publications include a volume of sermons and addresses,
"Plain Talks to the Colored People of America," "Appeal to
the King," "The Comparative Status of the Negro at the Close
of the War and To-day," "The Struggle for Supremacy Between
Church and State in the Middle Ages," and "The American and
the African Negro." He has now ready for the press a volume
of "University Addresses" and a volume of "Discussions in
Philosophy and Theory;" also "The History of the Education
of the Negro Race."

Dr. Bowen was voted for at the last General Conference for
Bishop. He stood second on first ballot. His friends predict
that he will be elected at the forthcoming General
Conference.
