jearmette Zeppenfelcl, M. S. PROFESSOR OF MODERN LANIJUAGES. . ,V . EANNETTE ZEPPENFELD was born December 154 Q,1865, in Franklin, Ind. She attended the E43 Franklin schools and graduated from the high 49.698 school in May, 1883. In the years '83, '84 and '85 she taught the first primary grade in the schools of Cen- rralia, Ill., and the following year taught the seventh grade in the schools of Franklin. She was a student in Franklin College, '86-387, and taught School No. 8 in Needham town- ship, Johnson county, Ind., the two years 787-'88 and 788-789, :utending the college in the spring term of each year. She spun the next year in college, graduating in the spring of ISUU. After her graduation Miss Zeppenfeld was chosen as in- structor in modern languages in Franklin College, and during the sunnner of 1890 took special training under a native French teacher at Indianapolis. She began her work as teacher in the college in September, 1890, and has ever since continued the work with credit to herself and the institution. In the summer of 1892 she continued her studies in German, lfrvncli and Italian at the Sauveur School of Languages, in Exeter, New Hampshire. Not yet satisfied with her attain- mvnts she spent the summer of 1895 abroad, taking instruc- tion in French under private teachers in Paris. As instructor in the modern languages Prof. Zeppenfeld could hardly be surpassed by any in this country. Her ac- quaintance with the languages from her youth, a.nd heritire- lc-ss energy as a student, not only enables her to speak them fluently, but also to teach them correctly. The college is certainly to be congratulated on having at the head of the department one so competent and so peculiarly fitted for the work.
