About William A. Millis

Lived 1889 – 1942 (aged 52–53). William A. Millis was a writer.

William Alfred Millis (1870/1871–1942) was an American educator and writer. He was a native of Crawfordsville, Indiana.

Education Millis received an A. B. degree at Indiana University Bloomington in 1889, and an A. M. degree in 1890.

Career Dr. Millis served on the faculties at Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Indiana, and Indiana University. He was the author of many high school and college textbooks. From 1908 to 1929, he was the eleventh president of Hanover College, Hanover, Indiana.

A book review in the December 1927 issue of the Indiana Magazine of History, states "The volume, aside from its mere historical value, is a fine commentary on education in Indiana. Dr. Millis writes well, the documents are at his elbow and the result is worthy of the centennial of our oldest living denominational college."
