The name of the corporation was legally changed in March 1870, to Central vv esleyan College and Orphan Asylum. ln 1884 the College and Asylum were separated, the College being officially designated as Central Wesleyan College and the Urphan Asylum as Ce1ltial Wesleyan Orphan Home. Since then each institution has carried on its special work under its own Board of Trustees and in its own plant. The German College of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, was legally united with Central Wesleyan College in June 1909. The present revised charter was granted by the Circuit Court of Warren County, January 1920, after having been adopted by the Board of Trustees and the patronizing Conferences. The corporation is composed of twenty-one members, three of whom are elected by the Alumni, eight by the Board of Trustees and five each by the two patronizing Conferences. 'l'he object of Central Wesleyan College as set forth in the charter is 'lto educate the youth of the land in the arts and sciences, ancient and modern languages, theology and philosophy, and such other branches as are usually taught in higher institutions ol learning. Un this broad basis the school was established and has continued to the present. lt is clear that the founders of the school desired the Board of Trustees and the lfaculty to maintain at Warrenton a standard American College. The school is denominational but not sectarian. It is the earnest purpose of Central Wesleyan College to give to young men and women the very best academic and collegiate training under wholesome Christian influences. Central Wesleyan College is a member of the College Union of Missouri, a group of the leading Colleges and Universities of the State. lt has also been ranked as a class A college by the University Senate of the Methodist Episcopal Church. This year has meant more to Central Wesleyan than any previous year. We'll admit that we take this attitude partly because of our optimism, but mostly because of things actually accomplished. The present faculty is larger than any previous one. We have more students enrolled this year than ever before, and the outlook for Central Wesleyan is getting brighter every day. The new science building, for which we have so long hoped, is going to be a reality very soon. Kessler Hall was remodeled, and now we have a -hall that cannot be excelled in many ways. This ends the history of the iifty-seventh year of Central Wesleyan College. is 1-ff'--'f rw. 1: :wiv-'.Y.:f.1ff-.zfzf-as-'sei' .wfacfrsfs-efvnmwnasrwzv-1-fines-L:ww tr--' .. :pr.1:1.1. .urn-1.11-.- .--..-- - Y- .--...

ENEATH the majestic trees of the campus 'lf 5' up stands a monument, a sacred memorial, representing Va part of Central Wesleyan's history which shall never be forgotten. The bronze plate on this granite boulder bears the names of nine sons of Wesleyan who laid down their lives that our ideals and our nation might live. The sons and daughters of Wesleyan have realized and are realizing what we, both .as a nation and as a school, stand for. 5 Rfb im W H If F5 The beginnings of Central WVesleyan date back to 1852 when a company of German Methodist ministers met in Winchester, Ill., and determined to found a college in order to establish better educational ad- vantages fortheir children and to rear an educated ministry. The plan proved impracticable and in 1854 these German ministers united with their English brethren in founding the t'English and German College in Quincy, Illinois. For nine years, the school was maintained in spite of financial and other difficulties. Then the English department succumbed. Through the indomitable energy of Rev. H. A. Koch the German half of the school maintained itself until June 1864. It now became necessary to devise new plans if the school was not to perish entirely. The burdens imposed upon the church by the ravages of the Civil War, that of caring for children Whose fathers had been slain on the battlefield, suggested a feasible plan to the church. At a convention of German Methodist ministers and laymen in Quincy, Illinois, in March, 1864, it was decided to found the Western Orphan Asylum and Educational Institute in VVarrenton, Missouri. The Truesdale estate, consisting of 932 acres, comprising the greater part of what is now Warrenton and Truesdale, was purchased May 19, 1864, for 315,000 by an independent corporation, composed of the following fifteen ministers and Iaymen, many of whom later became important leaders in the church and in the business world: Philip Kuhl, George Boeshenz, George Cramp, Frederick Niedringhaus, Frederick Drunert, Peter Hausam, Andrew Eisenmayer, Peter Hinners, Henry F. Koeneke, all of Illinois, Constantine Steinley of Kansas, Henry Fiegenbaum of Iowa and Henry Roth of Minnesota. After the organization of the Southwest German Conference in Saint Louis, Mo., September 29, 1864, the above named men trans- ferred their rights in the estate to the Conference and were elected as the first Board of Trustees of the new institution. Rev. Philip Kuhl was elected President of the corporation, Rev. George Boeshenz, Superintendent of the Orphan Asylum and Rev. H. A. Koch, Principal of the Educational Institute. The ulnstituteu was opened,October 3, 1864. The charter was obtained in February 1865. The attendance the first year was 179, which included many of the 51 orphan children, who had been received into the home. The Institute provided Primary, Normal and Commercial Departments and three-year Classical and Scientific .ive ,s...,:-ff-4-.-. Yami. sg.- WI- 1 --P --- 1 -Y --Y ---A' rw'
