f? VA A i THE MAPLE LEAF 1 man ami one wliu has the interests of the College at heart. He has won the respect of both the students and the faculty. The increase in attendance necessitated an increase in the faculty. Mr. Lehman, who for the ear previous had been teaching in Purdue, came back to his old position in the Mathematics Department. All the students who knew him welcomed him into our midst, for his absence has proved more and more his real worth. Prof. J. C. Meyer, a former graduate, took Prof. W. B. Weaver ' s place as professor of Historv and Political Science. His training at Indiana and Har- vard, together with his experience in reconstruction work in France during the war makes him well fitted for his work. Prof. Weaver was transferred to the Bible Department and now gives his time exclusivel ' to Bible. Miss Martin, after spending a year in Columbia, returned to take up her work in the Normal Department. Mrs. Ruth Blosser-Miller, a former graduate of Goshen and a recent student of Aloody Institute, was another addition to the facult)-. She taught Academy English the past year. Prof. C. B. Blosser, who was elected Dean of the school, took up the duties in that capacit}- at the beginning of the year. In addition to these duties he became the new head of the Agriculture Department. During the Winter Term the Special Short Course attracted a great many students who find it impossible to come thruout the entire year. Prof. J. R. Allgyer, a graduate of Goshen College and Ohio State University, was secured to teach in the Agriculture Department, and President Reist taught a Bible Course. Special courses in Home Economics were oiTered to accommodate these students. Both dormitories and all available rooming houses were filled to their capacit -. During the Winter Term Prof. Fisher, head of the Department of Philosophy and Education, left with a Reconstruction Unit for Europe. Altho he was greatly missed, we know that thru his investigation and travel the College will be bene- fited. He is expected to resume his work here in the fall. It was also during the ' inter Term that President Reist was forced, on account of failing health, to leave his duties as President of the College and take a complete rest. He left February 23rd, and during his absence Prof. Detweiler was chosen as Acting President. It has been a policv among educators to make all educational institutions philanthropic institutions. In order to make up annual deficits it is necessary to endow the institutions. If it were not for this policy many students would be unable to go to college. For the jjast few years Goshen College has been working hard to secure its endowment. Last year Prof. Detweiler was on the field the entire summer and expects to go again the latter part of the school year. He has been ery successful in his work. Altho the endowment was not reached it was thru his solicitation that (ioshen College could become a standard school. I M Sg C Euiht,;,,

i THE MAPLE LEAF I The Year 1919-20 -)( ' Sni ' ,X C( »LI.1 .(;k has added another year to its history — a year filled with e enls that mark definite steps of progress for the institution. As we look back over the year and compare it with former ears we feel that Goshen College has reached an- other remarkable milestone in its hist(ir . ( )ur attendance last fall was greater than any other fall Term in the history of the school. For the past few years ( ioshen as well as all other col- leges and uni ersities was greatly affected by the conditions of the world. Last fall, however, conditions were more nearly normal and many former students returned to resume their ork and man - new ones cast their lot with us. u n At the beginning of the Fall Term, President H. F. Reist took up his duties as president of the College, succeeding President G. J. Lapp, who resigned to resume his work in the mission held. President Reist has shown us that he is a worthy jM 3SC

Va n ki i THE MAPLE LEAF I The big event oi the year f(ir the College was the standavtlizatidn. On Fri- da}-, February loth, our school received the hapiiy news that the State B(jard had put us on its list of standard colleges. Altho the scholarship of (jur College had been recognized b other institutions, yet the graduates had difliculty in securing the highest salaries. Since it has become standard all present and future grad- uates will be recognized li all ediicational institutions and wdl ha e greater ojii or- tunities for ser ice. The Faculty and lloaril of I ' .ducation know that this means added responsibility. The - ai ' e not only satisfied to keep it a standard school but intend to make such im]iro emeuts that will make a bigger and better ( ioshen College. Plans are being made to build a gxmnasium and a men ' s dormitory. The present gym has long been too small and a new dormitor ' is needed also as man ' of the men have had to li e in pri ate Ikjuics because of the inadecpiate rooming facilities. The outlook for ( i(3shen ne ' er was brighter and we feel sure that as she con- tinues to grow, her contribution to the world will become greater and greater. :Mi - ;s ic
