AIPIVIINISTIIATION IIUILIIING ANI! EAST HALL IN 1903 History of Goshen College On September 29, 1903, Goshen College opened as a reorganized junior college with N. E. Byers as president. East Hall, built that summer, used temporarily as a dormitory and an administration building, became the girls' dormitory on completion of the Administration Building in 190-1. In 1906 the Elkhart Institute Association was dissolved and the con- trol of Goshen College was taken over by the newly organized Mennonite Board ol' Education, which represented the various conferences. Kulp Hall was built in the same year, leaving East Hall for the men's dormitory. In 1909 a four-year college curriculum was established with courses offered in nine departments. In 1910 the first B.A. class graduated. Begin- ning in 1918 Goshen College passed through a period ol' unrest, due to a debt of tl5160,000 and an increasing lack ol' confidence in the constituency. After a complete reorganization in 19221-24, the school reopened under President S. C. Yoder, who served until 1940, when E. E. Miller, the pres- ent incumbent, became president. During both these administrations the college made great progress. In 1929 Coll'man Hall, the men's dormitory, was erected: in 19130 Kulp Hall was rebuilt: in 19-13 the college debt was liquidated: in 19-I0 the Memorial Library was dedicated: and as a climax in 19-11 Goshen College was fully accredited by the North Central Asso- ciation. Through all the years, the dominant spirit of Goshen College was preparation ol' men and women for service in the Christian spirit, so well expressed in the motto adopted in 1903, Culture for Service.
