thumb Humphrys Henry Clay Miller, or H.H.C. Miller (1845–1910), was a Chicago attorney, and civic leader and three-term mayor of Evanston, Illinois. His first name is also frequently spelled Humphrey or Humphreys. He was the first Evanston mayor to be popularly elected. ==Early life and education== Humphrys Henry Clay Miller was born to George and Isabella Clark Miller on October 17, 1845, in New York City.〔 In 1854, his family moved to Illinois, first the southern part of the state and later Mount Carroll, Illinois. For some part of this time, he supported himself by teaching school. Miller attended the Mount Carroll Seminary (later known as Shimer College) from 1860 to 1864. At the Seminary, in addition to his studies, Miller participated in the school's debating club, the Philomathesian Society. In later life he credited the Society's "lessons in parliamentary law" for helping him in subsequent challenges.〔 He remained closely attached to the institution throughout his life. Upon exiting the Seminary in 1864, Miller attended Union College in Schenectady, New York, transferring after two years to the University of Michigan, where he tested into the junior class. He completed his bachelor's at Michigan in 1868, and his master's in 1871. While at Michigan, he also participated in the Alpha Nu literary society.〔 The society, formed in 1843, was dedicated to the intellectual improvement of its members through writing and debate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2013-05-28 )〕 Miller married Harriet S. Lewis in Channahon, Illinois in December 1870. They later had three children.〔 From 1870 to 1875, Miller worked as a school administrator while studying law in his spare time.〔 He served first as principal of the Channahon high school and later as the superintendent of schools for Morris, Illinois. While working as superintendent, he read law with judge Charles Needham, with whom he formed a partnership after passing the bar. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「H.H.C.
