1976 we 7926 .7Airof fizbecacle Oakwood continued to expand. In 1916 as a garage was erected just south of Old Mansion in addition to a barn, a silo, a wagon house, and a cannery. About this time representatives from the State Department of Edu- cation visited Oakwood for the second time. Although they found the Oakwood faculty conducting a good school, they recommended in their report that the industrial program be organized to correlate with the academy classes. Succeeding Professor Boyd as principal was Professor Beardsley who was appointed as the first president. Under his leadership the school ac- quired 12 concrete cisterns and a pump, a potato house in 1918, and two teachers' cottages in 1920 and 1923 respectively. The year 1922 was a success, for the student enrollment was en- larged, the faculty increased, and more books were added to the library, and the valuation of the property went up 1,000 percent. In the first half of 1926 a normal building and store were erected. In the midst of this construction program the dining hall was destroyed by fire. The General Conference voted a liberal appropriation of 315,000 and a 332,000 building was erected. This housed not only the dining hall and kitchen, but a 40 room girl,s dormitory which was named Irwin Hall.
