However, Ottawa is now entering upon a period when it will be possible for her to realize to some extent these large plans. ' On July 1, 1919, a financial campaign for the sum of Z400,000.00 was successfully com- pleted. Of this sum, ,Z150,000.00 was for buildings and S2S0,000.00 was for additional endowment. Now the Baptist denomination is working on a 'CHundred Million Dollar Campaign, covering the total denominational budget for a period of five years. Some thirty per cent. of this sum is to be spent in educational work and on additional institutions. Of this S100,000,000.00 Ottawa is to receive ,'5850,000.00, of which ,'5350,000.00 is to be used for buildings and equipment, and the remaining ,Z500,000.00 forendowment. This makes a total of S500,000.00 to be used for buildings and equipment on the Ottawa campus within a period of less than ten years. ' A How is this money to be used? One building included in this sum is the Gymnasium, which has already been built at a cost of 535,000.00 just south of University Hall the Administration Building is a pile of stone and steel, which is being converted as rapidly as possible into the long hoped-for Ward Science Hall, at a cost of approximately ,S100,000.00, equipped. ' The contract has just been let to a Topeka firm for a central heating plant, to be housed in the Commons Building, which is to contain also the University Dining Hall and the Department of Home Economics. This building will cost at least ,S115,000.00 with the heating plant. Work is being started this spring on the Commons Building, just north of the Gymnasium. The next building to be erected will be the Library, just north of University Hall, which will cost about ,S50,000.00fand which will provide room for a constantly expanding library for years to come, as well as providing some class rooms in the basement. And a Ladies' Dormitory must be erected, to cost approximately ,S100,000.00. Very little has been done so far on campus improvement, and this plan includes 815,000.00 to be spent in improving the campus. This is a total of ,S415,000.00 for five buildings and campus improvement, leaving a balance of S85,000.00'to be used to take care of further increases in building prices and unforeseen contingencies. gl It had been hoped in this building campaign to put up a Men's Dormitory, at a cost 1 1 of about ,Z1.00,000.00, and a Music- Hall, at a cost of about S50,000.00, thus bringing the Q : entire working plant of the university upon the campus. If prices continue to rise, it will p be. impossible to do this at the present time, unless some friends of the university, who are 7- 1, richly bleissed with thi world's goodiiv slgall seq fit tlp ergctlg memorial to themselves or to ly some ove one upon t e campus in t e s ape o suc a ui ing. F ' . ' ' 9 2 But be that as 'it may,iOttawa University is entering upon a new era in her history- W, an era of greater efficiency, of greater prosperity, and of greater usefulness. We are proud of the Ottawa of the past and the present, in the future, We shall be still more proud of FJ the Ottawa of tomorrow. 1 W Sweet Alma Mater p The God thou dost, adore .

' I- fi l l 3 'inn -' .. - - Y i I 1, , When Dr. ' Ward came he found an academy doing work in one building, on a totally unimproved campus. He imme- diately set about improving the campus, the trees which now cover it being the result of his work. Dr. Ward did a great deal for the university during the four years in which he served his first term as president. He left to go to Kansas State Agricultural College. The university now entered upon its second transition period. Dr. E. C. Ander- son, pastor of the Baptist Church at Ottawa, became president. On January 11, 1875, the Science Hall was burned to the ground. Work was immediately begun toward rebuild- ing it, but not much had been done when Dr. Anderson left, after one year's service. Dr. Anderson was followed by Dr. P. Williams, a finely educated man, who built up a very strong Normal Department and graduated a number of young men and women. In 1880, he went to the University of Kansas. Dr. T. M. Steward, a graduate of Brown University, then took up the presidency. He changed the curriculum so that credits from Ottawa should be acceptable in eastern V colleges. However, again at this time, the SILAS EBER PRICE, D. D. institution was struggling under greatfinancial difficulty, and it seemed as though it must close its doors. In 1883, Dr. Ward was again called to the presidency. V One of Dr. Ward's first tasks was the starting of an endowment fund. He also added and organized new departments and platted the, coflege farm. During Dr. Ward's second term as president a great chapter was written in the history of the university, the graduation of the first college class in 1886. In 1887, Dr. Ward resigned as president, but he has been connected with the university ever since as a voluntary financial and field agent, and until 1905 active professor of mathematics. Ottawa University is indebted to him inmeasurably, for in two distinct crises, Dr. Ward stepped in and filled the breach. On ,Dr. Ward's resignation Professor George Sutherland became the president. The Board of Trade of Ottawa agreed to raise 550,000.00 for a building, provided the university would raise a like amount. This condition was promptly met, and the building was built as one wing of University Hall, which later burned. Prof. Sutherland was succeeded by Rev. Franklin johnson, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1891. Under his administration the endowment was again materially enlarged. President Johnson' is the author of the university song, My Ottawa. During his term Mrs. O. C. Charlton raised funds for a girls' dormitory, known to all the students and alumni as Charlton Cottage. In 1893 Mr. Johnson was succeeded by Dr. F. W. Colgrove, a Colgate graduate. Dr. Colgrove did a great Work for the university in inspiring confidence in it on the part of Kansas Baptists. In 1896, Dr. D. S. Riggs, of Granville, Ohio, became the president. Under his leader- ship' a new gymnasium was builtg. University Hall was completed-burned to the ground on the day of its dedication, and again rebuilt larger than before. In 1905 Dr. Riggs resigned. Prof. R. A. Schwegler, now of the Department of Education at the University of Kansas, was the acting presidentifor oneyear. Here the third transition period ended, for in 1906 Dr. S. E. Price, our honored Prexy, was called to the presidency. Under Dr. Pricefs able leadership the university has grown and prospered. A modern gymnasium has been built by the students themselves, and an endowment campaign for 8500,000.00 has' been brought to a successful completion. The university is a member of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges, which means that its standing among the other schools of the country is of the best. Money has been pledged for Ward Science Hall, a Central Heating Plant and a Library, but the building of these has been delayed by the World War and post-war conditions. Ottawa's record in the war is a great one, 235 of her men-students and alumni-having enlisted, five never to come back. It seems now as though Ottawa University has passed safely through the rocks, scraped safely over the shoals, and is now standing out on a fair sea, with a favorable wind. I Page Thirteen J-
