George Washington Gale was
a Presbyterian clergyman who believed in hellfire and had chronic dyspepsia. He was a small man, slight of build, inclined to be thin because his food did not agree with him, but graceful, dignified, and even commanding, with regular features expressing a pensive thoughtfulness when not rendered irritable and querulous by his ailment. He was narrow and intolerant in religion, but gracious in social intercourse, a dreamer, somewhat visionary, but with a canny vein of practicality, though too indifferent to money to handle it carefully or account for it consistently. He lacked the qualities of a leader, but was gifted with powers of persuasion that won converts in his revivals, and raised substantial sums to finance his educational enterprises. His piety and his dyspepsia were the outstanding facts in his life."
