'WADE fi ,,,. ,F 5145. ff 1 F Qt fbi iff X o 0 o o 0 gf Al University Administration l lv p il N the past year, XVestern Reserve University has ,-I celebrated the centennial anniversary of its X founding. XVhat a contrast between that original V College and the University of today! At first the ,ij institution could claim scarcely more than the dig- Qj ' nity of a simple aeademyg it had had its beginnings l in the Erie Literary Society founded in the days 5 when the pioneers in the Reserve numbered only i fifteen hundred. But in 1826, upon receipt of a lV1NF1u2o G. LEUTNER Demi of the University gift of 160 acres of land by Mr. David Hudson in the town which still bears his name, a charter was obtained and the little college settled down on its large campus-with little more than its high hopes -to its years of steady development. The first faculty was fully organized in 1830: it consisted of the President, Dr. Charles Storrs, two professors, two tutors, and two professors in' theology. The students were correspondingly few in number. The first fifty years had their crises. There was agitation over the teaching of the classics, criticized by some as being the work of heathen authorsg and a costly experiment in the manual labor sys- tem proved a failure. Finally there was the anti- slavery agitation which reached even the quiet little college town and had serious results. Most of the students and faculty were against slavery, but dis- cussion became so heated that the Trustees were forced to declare against too strong comment on the subject-a step which caused the College to be hailed as entertaining pro-slavery sentiments.
