Century Memorial
William Prall was a frequent attendant at the junto of after-luncheon philosophers in the Graham Library. His career in outside life was varied; he had been state assemblyman, practicing lawyer, historical writer and Episcopal clergyman. If Dr. Prall had any one special pride, it arose from his Huguenot ancestry. Most of his published books were devoted to the historical experiences of that interesting religious sect.
