18 memorials of this effort. Later years have seen, by the generosity of the same donor, our noble Chapin Hall, and by his gift again, supplemented by the large liberality of W. E. Hale and many other friends, the magnificent erec- tion, equipment and endowment of our Science, Building, Pearsons Hall. Over against this Temple of True. Science, stands the Shrine of Pure Faith, the exquisite Chapel, built and hallowed by the piety of the women of Wiscon- sin. Its beauty and harmony of architecture, adormnent and adaptation, the music of its chimes, its organ, its anthems and its hymns, and its thought- ful, soulful exercises express the President and the College, and impress every son or visitor of the College. Meanwhile the former Chapel, so gracefully designed, and so worthily used by the former President, has again found worthy use as the Gallery and School of Fine Art-a department which owes much to the cordial sympathy of the President and of the Trustees who stand around him. Not the least of the achievements of his administration is the gathering of that remarkable Board of Trust, in which, with men who founded the College, sit the younger men who have had their part in the making of the great ln- terior, and are minded now to build a College worthy of the future, as well as of the past of this Land of Promise. They make their faith perfect by their works. , -,In the Faculty, also, the chosen sons of the College and of other colleges are coming in to enlarge the work of the College and to make good the places of those who have gone or are going. The close of the first seven years of President Eaton's administration finds the Academy and the Scientific Departments equipped, as well as manned for the best and most complete work-a Dormitory and Boarding Hall affording excellent accommodation at the least expense-and an ideal Chapel, and large additions to endowment. The property of the College has been increased threefold. What has been done is but the commencement of what must be done, but a President, fit to plan and to lead, is supported by Trustees, Al- umni and friends, by Faculty and by students, able and willing to do their part to make the College such a power for all good as the region, the land and the World have need of. Seven years more will bring the twentieth century. May President Eaton be here then! What shall Beloit College be then? . JOSEPH EMERSON.
