WYOMING SEMINARY 15 The number of those who have taught here T cannot give, but many able men and women, during these sixty-three years, have given their lives to the school and to the work they loved. N-early, if not quite, twenty thousand boys and girls have been VVyoming students, and twenty'-seven hundred have gained her diploma. Lack of room will not permit a list of those who have won tame 3 most have been a credit to their Alma Mater and many have won, for her and lor themselves, glory and honor. The first building cost less than 35000. The chapel was 243129. There were twenty rooms for students. 1 From this small beginning gradually, as need has been. buildings have been added. Flood, ire, and tornado have injured and even totally destroyed but friends have always' been found who had faith in the school. and not only has the damage been repaired but growth has been provided for Administration, Sweatland, and Union Halls were built after a ire that had destroyed all in 1853. These were united by Centenary Hall in 1866. Then followed Nelson Hall, built as a memorial to Dr. Nelson. in 1887. Here is the Chapel and the home of the Musiae Department. Abram Nesbitt, always a friend of the school, added Nes- bitt Hall in 1894. It contains the Commercial College, the Science Department, and the Art Department. The Pettebone Gymnasium. one of the finest among the preparatory schools of the state, was erected through the munificence, of Mrs. Caroline M. Pettebone, in 1897. The rapid growth of the Wfyoming V alley assures the school a prosperous and intluential future and makes the need of still greater equipment imperative. The immediate needs are a large, well-lighted Reeitation Hall, a central Heat and Light Plant, and an Endowment of not less than S250,000. And what shall we say of the future? Simply this, if the younger sons and daughters of Vlfyoming measure up to their opportunities and to their responsibilities as the older ones have done the half has not yet been told.
