Johnson. About one-third of the student body left at the outbreak of the war, since they were of Southern sympathies. Johnson's troubles were many, for the students left classes to defend the Union when Con- federates invaded the North. It is interesting to note that when the Confederates occupied Carlisle, the oflicers and men who were at one time undergraduates at the college protected it and had a continuous guard around Old West to keep it from harm. It was in this time of darkest financial worries that light broke througl1. In 1866, on the occasion of the Centenary of American Methodism, the college was endowed with S150,000, and thus Dickinson College came under the influence of the Methodist Church. It was then that the scientific course was built up and the system of laboratory assistants, known then as Dutchy's Devils, was established. Johnson's presi- dency also saw the beautification of the campus through the improving of Old West and the landscaping of what had been mere fields. During the presidency of James Andrew McCauley, 1872-1888, there was much internal dissension, yet great improvement. The students refused to attend the classes of Professor Trickett because he demanded too much of them and treated them in an austere manner. It was only after two weeks of absences that the affair was cleared up. In conjunction with the Centenary celebration of the college a new building pro- gram was pursued. In two years the Scientific Building, Bosler Hall, and the Gymnasium were erected. It was a momentous occasion on September 10, 1884, when the first woman was admitted to the college. She was graduated three years later. It was also during the reign of McCauley that James Henry Morgan first came to Dickinson College, as an Adjunct Professor of Greek. James Henry Morgan was elected president in 1914, at a crucial time when the debt was high, endow- ment low, and the enrollment about 250 students. After three years the enrollment was the largest it had ever been, only to fall again at war-time. In 1921 the enrollment of 468 students restored confidence, and soon all debt was wiped out and the endowment was raised to almost 5B1,000,000. Both Old West and Old East were renovated, and tracts of land were bought at the present site of the Alumni Gymnasium and Biddle Field. The scholastic rating of the college continued to grow, and soon it had the recognition of all associations of colleges. When Dr. Morgan left the presidency in 1928 he had restored a faltering college from the depths of financial and academic failure to the lofty place it now holds in the minds of Dickinson men and their associates, the entire collegiate world.

'x -I 3?i2Tff'lfl7'f Q t , fl'Q1'1f'Y-' H s,3L.- - N. FRED PIERCE CORSON O OFTEN we have been inclined to accentuate Dickinson tradition and past achievement because it has always seemed safest to do so. But now we find that we can place as much, if 1'1Ot more, emphasis on our present and on our future. Why can we do this? Because in this modern era of education with its ever-changing demands, we have Dr. Fred P. Corson as president of our college. Our college, together with our president, forms a grand past and a hopeful future. To perpetuate this happy medium, President Corson has our confidence, our respect, and -the most important-our friendship. Page 13
