In this administration, the pressure on the old quarters of the school became so great that a larger home was required. The beneticence of Mr. William Deering provided the present hall of the Academy worthily named for Dr. Fisk. The build- ind was dedicated in 1899. Dr. Fisk resigned the principalship May 21, 1904. lVithin a few days, Arthur Herbert Wilde was appointed principal. In 1909, under the administration of Dr. Wilde, a new 810,000 organ, presented to the Uni- versity by its alumni and friends, was placed in our chapel. At the end of the school year 1908-09, having served as the school's principal for five years, Dr. Wilde was promoted to a higher position in the University. Now he is the President of the University of Arizona. The new principal, lVIr. Helm, took up his duties in 1909. The school is progressing at present, and if it continues to increase its service to the community it will be the fortunate ful- fillment of an earnest hope. ISI
