Academic Faculty The academic work in West Virginia Wesleyan College is up to the standard of any similar kind of instruction given anywhere. Instruction in this department is intended to prepare the student for college entrance and to afford a general training to those who are not able to complete a college course. Students of the academy possess advantages which could not be found elsewhere. The academic student in his contact with college folks, college functions and college organizations has his hori zon inevitably widened. This could hardly help being a great impetus to ambition. Students in Wesleyan Academy are heirs to the traditions of the past, the history of the present and the ineffable hopes of the future — heirs to the visible embodiment of certain invisible influences. The administrative powers have deviated from the customs of the past concerning the instructors of the academy. For the first time in the history of the school the chairs of the different depart- ments have been filled entirely by college upper classmen. The dis- tinction and honor have fallen to those who have made a creditable record in the past and who are capable of giving instruction in the subject they have been assigned. To pass upon the efficacy of the new- plan is left to those in authority over us, but no serious complaints have come from them, and quo jure can they defer credit to those brave souls who have done their best.
