9 KQQQJ 92 The department was organized under Dr. I. D. S. Riggs as principal. The other was the consolidation with the University Library of the libraries of Caliopean and Franklin Societies. On the resignation of Dr. Anderson the trustees called Dr. D. B. Purin- tou to the presidency which he still retains. Dr. Purinton has been espec- ially fortunate in interesting influential friends in our welfare. This is evidenced by the many additions to the endowment and plant during his regime. Among these were two handsome new buildings. Barney Science Hall, erected in memory of Eliam E. Barney of Dayton is sufficient for the needs of the scientific department. The Academy found a substantial friend in Dr. Doane who presented to it a large brick building containing a chapel, society halls and ample class room facilities. The faculty has been contin- ually increased. In consequence of the gift to the Academy, that institu- tion's name was changed to Doane Academy. Prizes for literary excellence have been established in the College and for scholarship in the Academy. The Bulletin of the Scientific Laboratories and 'tjournal of Compara- tive N eurology spread the fame of our scientific department overthe land. The Denison Quarterlyl' was published for some years by members of the faculty and resident alumni. The Exponent appeared during the years of '93 and '94. At its demise the students published the Collegian as a weekly for about a year when it was succeeded by the Denisonian under faculty control. . In this brief account of the history alld annals of Denison many facts have been omitted owing to lack of knowledge and space. YVe have omitted to notice the devoted lives of many of the faculty, past and present. But we can not but look with pride atpthe growth of the latter from the single instruction of Prof., Pratt in the thirties to its present ample facilities. l I il UQ 10
