The toUowina; year Rev. Geo. W. Enders, D. D., of York, Pa., was elected president, and it was during this period that the Alumni Gymnasium was added to our group of buildings. This gymnasium we believe to be the finest of its kind in the state. It fills a vacancy, which, up to this time, was sorely needed, and it is now that the begrimed athletes can take full advan- tage of the refreshing showers after exerting themselves with the various ap- paratus, or after having applied their physical strength on the athletic field. Dr. Enders, however, remained president of the institution only a few years, when, because of other duties, he resigned in favor of Dr. John B. Focht, D. D., of Selin ' s Grove. He remained in oflice but one year, when upon his resignation Rev. Chas. T. Aikens, A. M., was elected and continues in the office to the present time. Under the supervision and direction of President Aikens, Susquehanna has progressed admirably. In spite of the many disparaging and discourag- ing words received from different quarters concerning the financial depres- sion of the school, Susquehanna has made many improvements and her finan- cial condition is better than it was several years ago. Besides two more buildings have been added in as many years — a Laundry and a well-equipped Steam plant. Then, again, our buildings are now lighted by electricity, so that in many ways Susquehanna University resembles a perfect Paradise. But there i s yet much to be attained ; there are the many needs of a growing institution ; there are many things which time alone can accomplish ; yet with what has been accomplished heretofore, and w ith w hat is being accomplished at present ; with loyalty on the part of the students and friends of the institu- tion ; with the fond anticipation of a new Recitation Hall and also a new Music Hall in the near future ; and with numerous other hopes and expec- tations we bespeak for Susquehanna far greater success and far wider accom- plishments in the field of usefulness over which her influence is destined to extend in years to come. 13
