REMINISCENCES OF ELKQHART INSTITUTE AND GOSHEN COLLEGE. T was an eventful incident for a student to walk down South Prairie Street for the first time, to see before them that large, two-story, state- ly-looking, brick building known as the Elkhart Institute. Upon enter- ing, there was on the left a small oiiice where C. K. Hostetler was Wont to be found engaged in much the same activities in which a student of Goshen College would have found him a few years later. The oflice opposite was where the worthy principal, now our President, among his other duties, held private interviews with those who transgressed any of the six command- ments lsee catalogl and also where the much beloved preceptress, Miss Lina Zook, would draw downcast maidens to herself to impart her sympathy and encouragement. The library or reading room was a place of great interest. Occasion- ally an unusual amount of merriment existed within its four walls and a rap on the principal's office door was heard which we rightly interpreted as meaning silence. Perhaps the part of the building where the social life of the student was best portrayed was the large din- ing hall in the basement which had a capacity of fifty-five or sixty. Three times each day we would promptly gather around the five long tables. After hearing one of Prof. J. W. Yoder's before-dinner speeches no one ever felt like coming in late. Many and varied were the discussions around those tables. S. F. Gingerich a quiet sort of a fellow from the west and J. M. Kurtz a lively young man from Ohio, both destined to become Well known professors of Goshen College, had many talks on Emerson and Carlyle. Many of their company were then unable to grasp the meaning of their discussions but found pleasure in watching their enthusiasm. Among others who were popular in the din- ing hall were the Misses Lina Zook, Leila Munsell, Alta Kurtz, Lydia B. Stutzman, Amelia Bergey and Messrs. 15
