Q9111' Wooster Our WVooster is known as the leading college of America under Presbyterian control. This position of leadership becomes all the more impressive as the wonderful history, equipment and resources of VVoos- ter are reviewed. According to the original charter, the object of the Institution was the promotion of sound learning and education under religious influ- encesf' This aim has been faithfully followed throughout the steady growth of the college. ' VVooster opened its doors September 7, 1870 with a fa.culty consist- ing of the president, four professors, two, instructors, and fifty-seven students. In the forty-five years since then the attendance has aggrega- ted over 7,700 in the collegiate department alone. VVith the first gradu- ating class in 1873, there have been graduated 1919 bachelors. There are now 511 students in the four college classes, 85 Seniors, 100 Juniors, 121 Sophomores, and 205 Freshmen. In the Academy there are 218 stu- dents. The faculty now consists of the president, twenty professors, nine assistant professors, and six instructors. Their ea.rned degrees 'have 1 I n s come from twenty-ive colleges and universities. The range of courses includes 220 different semester courses, or the equivalent of 110 year courses. These courses give 301 year credits, or nearly live times the number of year credits required for graduation. There are twenty-one different departments in the collegiate courses of study. Since the destruction of the main building by fire in 1901, Woos- ter's material equipment has grown marvelously. The campus and athletic grounds contain one hundred acres valued at 3133,000.00. Fif- teen modern buildings, valued at 31,210,000.00 are given wholly to col- lege use. These buildings were nearly all erected within 'the past fifteen years. To add to their beauty they follow the English Gothic architec- ture, like Oxford and Cambridge. The library has over forty thous- and volumes, and a large reading room provided with more than five hundred dollars worth of the best periodicals. Two well equipped science halls care for the increasing number of science students. The new gymnasium and new athletic field, costing together nearly 3200,000.00 are among the finest in the middle West. Financially, Wooster has assets amounting to S2,616,045.81 f1915J.
