l- CARL LEWIS ALTMAIER Professor Altmaier received his education in the public schools of Harrisburg, and from there en- tered the National School of Elocution and Oratory in Philadelphia before taking up law. He then entered the office of 'Strawbridge 84 Taylor where he began his study of law, being admitted to the Philadelphia Bar in 1889. Professor Altmaicr has also studied in the Universities of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Cornell and Chicago, specializing in pedagogy. ln 1893 he became instructor in De- partment of Commerce and Finance of Drexel and in 1914 was appointed Professor of Secretarial Studies. Professor Altmaier's faithfulness in help- ing his students toward becoming efiicient business men and women is well recognized by the ln- stitute. KATHARINE D. BROWN B.S. WELLESLEY A.M. Buc1cNE1.1. Mrs. Brown was appointed instructor in Mathe- matics in 1895, and in 1914 shc received thc appoint- ment of Professor of Technical English when she began her work with the girls. Mrs. Brown still keeps her oflice in the boys' corridor, and frequent visits to her oflicc lead us to believe she is in the right place. FRANCES E. MACINTYRE R1:G1s1'1zAR Miss Maclntyre received the appointment or Chief Clerk in the Registrar's ofiice in 1905. In 1909 she was appointed Registrar of the lnstitute. On the first and last days the students meet Miss Maclntyre, greeting her with a matriculation card and she, in her turn, greets them with a smile. Page eleven

i- TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF DREXEL INSTITUTE N celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of, Drexel Institute, our thoughts naturally travel back to the beginning--the beginning that has meant so much to so many-and it is impossible to do this without knowing some- thing of Anthony Drexel, the founder of the Institute. A Simple, honest citizen, intent on service to the community, interested in his family, his work, and his associates, he eagerly put forth his time and his energy to leave behind him some effective means to aid the common good. Often linked with his name was the name of Mr. George W. Childs of the Publi: Ledger, and the picture of their daily walk together has become 21 part of the city's history. Such constant contact of two powerful minds could not but produce remarkable effects upon Philadelphia, and on the community in general. Among the greatest of these is Drexel Institute. This monument left behind by a great citizen, brought into being through the constant thought and discussion of two friends, shows much Of the spirit of its founder. Mr. Drexel had comparatively slight social interests. His direct interests were largely con- fined to his home circle, to his business, and to his associates and employees, but his indirect interests went out to the whole community. Deeply interested in art and music, he believed in technical education with a cultural background, and included in the plans for a technical school, a great organ, 21 picture gallery, and a museum. Mr. Childs, always in- terested in the broadest aspects of education, added his Splendid gifts ofmanuscripts, ivories, prints and curios. Above all was Mr. Drexel's spirit of friendliness, and many an anec- dote could be told of the people whom he has helped and encouraged. Thus a great man's work lives after him and a true man's friendliness outlasts the passing of time. That kindliness of spirit flowered into the desire to create a founda- tion. Gradually the discussions of the friends crystallized into fln interest in educational matters and the two began to make trips of inspection themselves and to send others on such trips. Finally, Drexel Institute was conceived, the land bought, the plans for the building approved, and the work of construction begun. With the beginning of actual construc- tion began the habit of almost daily visits to the Institute which lasted the rest of Mr. Drexel's life, and, when the build- ing was completed, he could be seen standing in the Great Court watching the students as they came into the completed building of his dream, and saying, I want them to lead happy as well as useful lives. Thus was Drexel Institute founded in the year 1891. The dedication ceremonies were held on December 17, 1891, at which James MacAlister, the first President of the In- stitute, presided. The auditorium was filled to its utmost capacity by a representative audience from commercial, professional and scientific circles. The first classes were held in February 1892, and it is interesting to know that Mrs. Hall, Mr. I-Ienwood, and Mr. Ryder were the first ap- pointments on the first Faculty of Drexel Institute with James MacAlister as their adviser and guide. James MacAlister was born in Scotland in 1840. He came to this country about ten years later. Here he received his A.B. from Brown University and later his LI..D. from the Albany Law School. Previous to his afiiliation with Drexel Institute, he was, for several years, Superintendent of Public Schools of Milwaukee, and later the first Superin- tendent of Public Schools of Philadelphia. There are others, too, here only in spirit now, whose influence has been so imprinted upon Drexel's foundation that we shall always feel their presence. Miss Ball, first Sec- retary and Registrar, who had been a power in establishing Pratt'Institute directed this power toward the building up of Drexel, not only as a Registrar, but through her interest in educational matters as well. Miss Kroeger, the first Librarian and Director of the Library School, to whose memory the Faculty dedicated a tablet, which hangs in the Library at the present time, will always be remembered by many who received help and inspiration from her.
