Qbarneg fliiefrrtovial f?.l'faIl. HE frontispiece shows the new Science Building, Barney Memorial Hall, which is now being erected. It is the gift of E. J. Barney, of Dayton, Ghio, and is designed as a memorial to his father, Eliam E. Barney, who was long a generous and devoted friend of the college in its early years of poverty and struggle. This building is a handsome structure of Amherst stone and buff pressed brick, one hun- dred and forty-two feet long by seventy-two feet deep. It is situated on the brow of college hill, overlooking the valley and village below. It contains thirty-nine rooms, carefully designed for their respective uses, which will take the place of eleven smaller rooms now in use in College and Doane Halls. The rooms at present used for science instruction contain 3,760 square feet of floor area, the new building will release this room for other uses, and furnish in addition 16,550 feet exclusive of halls, etc., or more than four times the present space. The heating will be done by steam, chiefly by indirect radiation. Steam will also be distributed for drying ovens, evaporating baths, distilled water, etc. The building will be lighted by gas and by electricity, both produced on the premises. Gas will also be distributed to hundreds of heating burners, assay furnaces, etc., water all over the building, and electricity to convenient points in the physical rooms. A mechanical workshop of three rooms will be a prominent feature of the physical department. Power for the machinery in these and other rooms will be furnished by electro-motors drawing current from the dynamo room. The building is to be ready for use in September of the present year, and will be an invaluable addition to the present facilities in science instruction. I8

CQRQD. Qi. 3. Balbwin. EV. C. I. BALDVVIN, the loved and honored pastor of the Granville Baptist Church, was born at Charleston, N. Y., August 1oth, 1841. At the age of fourteen, while re- siding in Troy, N. Y., he became converted and joined the First Baptist Church, of which his father was then pastor. In the Fall of I859, he entered Madison University, but left during his Junior year to enter the army. Here he served with 'distinction as Lieutenant Adjutant of the 157th Regular New York Volunteers, and on the staff of Brigadier-General Potter till the close of the war. Wliile in service he received the rank of Major from the Governor of New York. In 1868, he graduated from Rochester Theological Seminary, and was ordained the same year at Chelsea, Mass., where he was pastor of the First Baptist Church until 1872. He then visited Europe, and upon his return became pastor of the First Baptist Church, Rochester, N. Y., where he remained until coming to Granville in 1886. While Dr. Baldwin has been pastor of the church in Granville, he has exercised a marvelous influence over the young men and women attending the various schools of the village. His profound scholarship and masterly use of lan- guage make each sermon a literary as well as a spiritual edification, and it is particularly fortunate that students, gathered from every part of the country, have the opportunity of hearing the Gospel preached with such eloquence and power. He is also identified with the interests of the col- lege, being a member of the Board of Trustees, of which he is Secretary. In fine, Dr. Baldwin is esteemed by all as a friend manifesting consideration for all classes and evincing the highest purity of motive, whose mind and efforts are consecrated to furthering the purest ideals in intellect and religion. 21
