Appreciation. ns for our losses and as often losses follow on the heels of set over against the other, perhaps to balance character. Our beloved Alma Mater seems to be no exception to the rule. This has been a remarkable year, noteworthy because of almost unprecedented pros- perity and now grievous loss. Almost every year some member of the faculty is wanted elsewhere, and with regret, we bid them God ' s speed. This year three, able, earnest builders believe it to be their duty to change their location to places where they feel they will be no less useful to the world, though our institution will miss them sadly. Miss Martin, who for a year has ably assisted Professor Robinson in the English de- partment, will henceforth teach the same branch at Simmons College, Boston. She will fill an important position but as her gain is our loss, we cannot be expected to offer joyful con- gratulations. Miss Grace Woodburn, Prof. McMillan ' s assistant in the Latin department, has by years of devoted and successful work, proved her ability, and formed ties which will not be easy to sever, but doubtless her grief will be banished by the expulsive power of a new affection and we console ourselves that the community will not lose her influence. We hope her genial presence will often grace our college gatherings. Miss Clementine Calvin also takes her departure. She has been connected with the institution much longer than either of the others, and certainly not one of the faculty has given more complete and universal satisfaction. The loss seems irreparable and the expressions of sorrow by her many friends both in college and in the city are heartfelt. Sy her strong and lovable personality, she awakened enthusiasm even in her least promising pupils. Monmouth ' s success along oratorical lines has made the Professor of Elocution known and desired in other institutions. We congratulate ourselves that it is not the larger sphere which caused her to sever her relations with Monmouth College and accept the chair of elocution in the Meadville Theological Seminary but affection and fi ' ial duty to her revered father whose home is in that city. She will ever have a devoted friend in every student who has been under her training.
