Grose was born September 5, 1981 in Millerton, New York to Reverend Henry Laurence Grose. [1]
He graduated from Rochester University in 1876. In 1883, he became an ordained Baptist minister. [1]
Grose began his career as a correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, then became a staff member with the New York Examiner. [1]
From 1883 to 1890, Grose served in Poughkeepsie and Pittsburgh as a Baptist minister. [1]
In 1890, he became the president of the University of South Dakota, a contentious position he held for two years. [2] Grose then began teaching history at Chicago University. During this time, he was also the associate editor of the Watchman, published in Boston. [1]
