The brief term of President I-lefelbower's administration is marked by the reconstruction of the educational program. The department of Physics, with a fully equipped Laboratory, was added, the department of Modern Languages with two full Professors finstead of the German chair devot- ing part time to other subjectsj, and the department of Philosophy were established. The program of elective Group courses was begun during this period. During the Presidency of William Anthony Granville, LL.D., which began in l9l0, the Group program of courses has been fully worked out: the endowment fund increased by two hun- dred thousand dollars, the department of Political Science fformerly associated with English, established, the department of Engineering, offering courses in four distinct lines of engineering study, with three men giving full time, added, the Bible study associated with the work of the Pro- fessor of History, a department of Education, with five courses, associated with the department of Philosophy, the English department expanded to the extent of a full Professor and two assistants, a new Academy building to cost fifty thousand dollars under construction, a commodious addition to the Chemical Laboratory under construction, and a definite movement launched by The Woman's League of the College at its last convention to erect a thirty thousand dollar Y. Nl. C. A. building. The present year is notable in the history of the College for having the first Freshman class to pass the hundred mark ftotal 1243. The year marks the following additions and changes in the Faculty: Professor Ashworth, Ph.D., has charge of the department of Political Science, Pro- fessor Allen, C.E., the work in Civil Engineering resigned by Professor Kirby, Mr. Keeny, AB., Assistant in English in the place of Mr. Moser, resigned, Mr. Whiting, A.lVI., additional Assistant in English, Mr. Behle, Assistant in Modern Languages. The work of the whole curriculum has been moving forward with vigor. It is with profound regret that we record the sickness of Dr. Nixon, who fell ill during the Christmas vacation and has thus far been unable to resume his duties. Professor Erwin, A.lVl., has been appointed to have charge of Dr. Nixon's work until he is in condition to resume his place again. Two cases of scarlet fever which developed in the student body about the beginning of De- cember likewise produced a wave of excitement that will render the year memorable. In athletics the record of the year has been good. The various teams have had good schedules and made good scores. The social life of the institution, under the care of the Faculty Committee on Social Functions, Dean Bikle and Professor Allen, has been flourishing. The Student Council, in charge of Student Government, which dissolved last year, has been re- established and at this writing the long-talked-of Honor System seems about to become a fact dur- ing the present semester. The favorable sentiment is most promising. The facts must speak for themselves. Past achievement is the result of the loyal support of the College constituency, future claim of support rests upon present eflicienoy. The achievements, the program, and the efficiency of Pennsylvania College certify to the character of her work and define her place in the general educational program of the age. Page Nineteen
