after six o'clock, but when the sun rises before six o'clock, the public exercises shall commence at six o'clock precisely, and it shall be the duty of every member of the Faculty to be present at the opening exercises of the day. Dr. Durbin was succeeded' by Drs. Roberty Emory, jesse T. Peck, Charles Collins, Caldwell, McClintock, Nadal, Herman M. johnson, Robert L. Dashiell and james A. Mc- Cauley. In 1888 Prof. Charles F. Himes became acting president, and was followed in the' spring of 1889 by Dr. George Edward Reed, who has continued at the head of the institution down to the present time, and under whose wise and aggressive leadership the entire scope of the col- lege has been enlarged and her facilities improved until she ranks among th leading colleges of the country. Old West soon proved inadequate for the needs of the college, and in 1835 additional ground was purchased and South College was erected, to be used as a place of public worship, and for the purpose of the Grammar School. This building was destroyed by fire the following year, but was at once replaced by the present edifice. East College was built in 1836, and is finely adapted for dormitory pur- poses. In 1877 Emory Chapel, originally erected as a Meth- odist Episcopal Church, passed into the hands of the col- lege, and was used as a Preparatory School until the erec- tion of the Tome Scientific Building, through the generosity of the late jacob Tome, of Port Deposit, Md., in 1884, per- mitted the removal of the scientific department from South College. It became then, in 1890, the home of the Law School, while South College was used as the Preparatory School. In 1884 a gymnasium was presented anonymously. In 1885 the james W. Bosler Memorial Library Hall was opened, with accommodations for the College and Society Libraries, and for the chapel services andpublic exercises of the institution. In 1895 Lloyd Hall was provided as a dormitory for the female students, who had been admitted since 1884. In 1896 Denny Memorial Hall was built for the accommodation of recitation rooms, college offices, and halls for the Literary Societies. This building was com- pletely destroyed by fire March 3, 1904. A new building was erected on the site of the old structure and dedicated in june, 1905. In 1901 additional ground was purchased and a building erected therefor for the Preparatory School, while South College was again used as a dormitory. The Preparatory School building was dedicated in june, 1905, and at the request of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, whose liberal subscription made the dedication possible, the building was called Conway Hall, in honor of Moncure D. Conway, L. H. D., of the class of 1849. The Civil War almost disrupted the college. A large part of her patronage was from the South, and at the out- break of the war the Southerners left to join the army of the Confederacy, while the Northerners joined the Union forces. During the battle of Gettysburg the dormitories were turned into hospitals. The popularity of the college in the South no doubt did much to save the college from destruction during the invasion of Pennsylvania, for the Confederate order was that not a stone of old Dickinson should be touched. A true conception of Dickinson is to be gotten only by a visit, under the guidance of some sympathetic and loyal Dickinsonian, who alone can fitly exhibit the accumulated treasures of 'her long life. He will show the old books in the library, the relics in the physical laboratory, the lines of portraits of college worthies in Chapel Hall, the time- worn steps of Old West, chiseled with the autographs of students of long agog the window sill where President James Buchanan cut his name in the soft stoneg the spots where the annual rushes take -place, and will tell of the customs peculiar to Dickinson and of all the old jokes, and as the evening shadows grow deeper he will turn to the steps of Bosler Hall and listen to the closing words of the old Even- ing Song and Alma Mater. Most ofthis article was compiled from a brief history by Clyde B. Furst, '93, published in ' 72, and from-Prof. Himes' Sketch of Dickinson College published in 1879, and in severa 'the '96 Mierocgqnpn from a history by PresideiiPMi:Cauley, publisheriin the Dickinsonhan l instances the writer has copied verbatim.-EDITOR.
