The finances of Dickinson College were indeed poor when Eugene Allen Noble assumed the presi- dency. In 1913 Metzger College was granted to Dickinson to be used by the women students. How- ever, little could be done to alleviate the decline in the student body, the debt accumulated by the preceeding president, Reed, and the fact that there had been no increase in endowments. A drastic step was taken: securities were sold and a con- ference was held in which an executive committee of trustees, faculty, and President, met to discuss the current problems. The conference culminated in the resignation of President Noble, who was succeeded by james Henry Morgan. Throughout the war the -financial situation re- mained critical, and in 1917 the Central Pennsyl- vania Conference voted to help the College. A campaign was initiated in which subscription total- ing i5125,000 were raised. In 1921, the Rockefeller Foundation agreed to donate 25150,000 to Dickinson if an additional i5300,000 could be raised. This total was to be added to the permanent endowment of the College by the end of five years. New South 1948 A IN BECUBDS YUIH'

WE VIEW THE EVENTS 0E TUDAY At last, not harrassed by a heavy debt, President Morgan agreed to effect several improvements. The chapel on the flrst Hoor of West College was remodeled to become Memorial Hall. The basement of West was renovated, and property was purchased for the new gymnasium. The salaries of members of the faculty were increased as a result of the improved state of the College's finances. Dr. Mervin Grant Filler succeeded Dr. Morgan as President in 1928. During his three year administration the Alumni Gymnasium was erected, the athletic field was enlarged, Conway Hall was renovated, and the Carnegie Foundation allotted 312,000 annually to be spent for books for the College library. Moreland Campus was purchased for the College in 1931, during the administration of Dr. Karl Tinsley Waugh, who succeeded President Filler in 1932. President Waugh resigned after having served for one year. In 1934 the Rev. Fred Pierce Corson was named President. For some time the College enjoyed the prosperity of the l93O's. In 1941 Bosler Library was completely remodeled and renovated. 1941 also marked a sharp decline in students due to the Second World War. In 1944 President Corson was elected to the Bishopric of the Methodist Church. He was succeeded by Dr. Cornelius William Prettyman, whose administration would have been brilliant if it had not been cut short by his untimely death in 1946. In 1946 Captain William Wilcox Edel of the United States Navy Chaplain Corps took over the Presidency. Through his able guidance we have not only seen Dickinson returned to its pre-war standards but also a bright future planned for the College. l J r v ' ' i--- ' tzwfw..-m ' 1
