AND YET- The achievements of the past have become a matter of history. Many important chapters of the Universityts record have been engraved in the hearts and memories of her children and eternalized in the service they have render- ed for the welfare of humanity. But the book is not yet written. The latter chapters will fully justify the faith of the founder and the hopes of his helpers. The principles for which they contended were fundamental ones. While their expression must be mod- ified to meet the new conditions of the present days, their integrity will be preserved. There are yet many reasons for the maintenance of an institution which makes ample provision for the development of the studentls individual powers by directing him in their use. The personal factor will continue to be an im- portant factor in the conduct of the University's work. The institution has never done better work than she is doing at the present time. Neither have her opportunities for really effective and permanent work ever been better, nor has it received higher recognition. May not all her friends unite in writing into the further chapters of the Universityts history the most glorious record of the whole book. And may the closing word be added only when He whose truth we seek to perpetuate shall say His last ttWell done. IZPage N inety-eightl

nals. J ohn B. was professor of civil engineering. Irene was professor of ancient languages and Anna was professor of rhetoric. Josiah, who besides his work in the class room, was secretary of the school, is the only male mem- ber of the renowned family of the Holbrooks who is still living. At the age of seventeen he enlisted in the first company organized in Warren County during the Civil War tCompany F, Twelfth Ohiol and went to the front early in July, 1861. Like that of all three of the Holbrook boys who served during the war, the record of Josiah on the battle field is an enviable one. Later he was proprietor of a large book store and prominently identified with the uni- versity. He had been one of the highly respected citizens of Warren County for many years and has also been a mast popular public oHicial as county re- corder, a position which he now holds and for which he comes up for re- election at the polls this fall. He holds sacred the memory of his father, many of whose admirable qualities he has inherited. THE LAST REORGANIZATION The reorganization of the school covered a period of several years, during which the name of the institution was changed to the Lebanon University. While it does not enjoy the pre-eminence in the educational world that it attain- ed during the life of its founder, it is one of the foremost universities in its field and attracts a substantial enrollment from all parts of the nation. The principles which governed it during the days when Alfred Holbrook had per- sonal charge are still largely embodied in its policy and its pupils enjoy all the advantages of the modern higher educational institution. Prof. Holly E. Cunningham is now its president and during his administration the Lebanon University has prospered continually. He is a great admirer of the schoolis founder and will take a prominent part in the celebration during the week of June 25. The eighty thousand students of the Old Normal who now reside in all parts of the world include men and women from every walk of life, and the reunion in honor of the hundredth anniversary of the noted founder of the school will see many prominent personages in Lebanon. The five days exer- cises will be appropriately opened on Sunday, J une 25, by Dr. Marion Crosley, of Indianapolis, the first student to enroll, and on the same day former stu- dents who are now ministers of the gospel will fill every pulpit in Lebanon, embracing every denomination of the Christian faith. There will be gatherings during the week of doctors who will be the guests of the Warren County Med- ical Association; entertainments for students now in the legal profession have been arranged by the Bar Association; the two Lebanon banks and building and loan association have made special arrangements to interest the Old N or- malites who are now engaged in banking and brokerage; the hosts of former students who are now teachers will be taken care of by the Warren County Teachers Association. Among the most noted of these latter are John B. Withers, president of the Teachers College, St. Louis; J. B. Brown, president of the Valparaiso University; A. J. Gantervoot, of the College of Music, Cincin- nati; J. O. Creager, head of the Department of Education of the University of Wyoming, Professor Clark, of Kirksville, Mo., who is the husband of Irene Hol- brook, and O. P. Kinsey, Vice-President of Valparaiso University. IPage Niuety-screnl
