Edman was born in Chicago in 1900 as one of six children to Swedish immigrant parents. He attended Columbia University, but left to serve in World War I in 1918-1919. After the War, Edman returned to the United States where he attended the University of Illinois, Nyack College, and then Boston University where he received his B.A.. Edman served as a missionary to the Quichua people in Ecuador from 1923 to 1928 until he was forced to return to the United States after contracting a tropical disease. While serving as a missionary, Edman married Edith Olson, also an American. In 1933 Edman graduated from Clark University with a M.A. and Ph.D in International Relations focusing on Latin American studies. Edman was chosen as an associate professor of history at Wheaton College in 1936 and then became the college’s fourth president in 1940 serving until 1965. During this time he made various physical and financial improvements to the campus. In 1965 Edman became chancellor at Wheaton. On September 22, 1967, while delivering a chapel message entitled, “In the Presence of the King,” Edman suffered a fatal heart attack.
Dr. Edman spoke in various countries around the world and wrote nineteen books and various articles. Edman was a friend and colleague of Billy Graham who was a student during Edman's presidency of Wheaton. The Edman Chapel at Wheaton College is named in his honor.〔http://www2.wheaton.edu/learnres/ARCSC/collects/sc08/ accessed Feb. 17, 2013〕〔Great Preaching on the New Year (Sword of the Lord Publishers, 2000)〕
