College Avenue, which contained a fine and well lighted art room, several music rooms for practice, the entire department of natural scieoce, and the College library. In the fall of 1887 Rev. Edmund S. Lorenz was elected President. During his administration a course for advanced post graduate work was prepared and adopted by the Board of Trustees. To him also belongs the credit of establishing a College paper known as The College Forum. In the spring of 1S89 Rev. Cyrus J. Kephart, D.D., was elected Presi- dent. He served but a single year. Because of some discouraging condi- tions at this time the question of re-locating the College was seriously considered but nothing came of it. Dr. E. Benjamin Bierman was elected to the Presidency. He had been connected with the College since its founding and his administration shows an interest and faithfulness which did much toward building up the College. During this time the college celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary and showed marked improvement. Dr. Bierman was succeeded in 1897 by Dr. Hervin U. Roop, who held the office until January, 1906. During this term the entire college changed its appearance. In 1900 a large wing was added to the main building. The Engle Conservatory of Music, the gift of Mr. B. F. Engle, a life-long friend of the institution, was furnished in 1899. In 1904 — ' 05 the College received a gift from Mr. Andrew Carnegie, a beautiful library building. The foundation for a new Ladies ' Dormitory ' was being laid when early in the evening of December 24, 1904, fire broke out in the main building and quickly destroyed it. This was a terrible blow to the college but through the untiring efforts of the President and others the winter term was delayed only a week. By the next school year the new ladies ' dormi- tory was occupied and a few months later the men went into their new dormitory. A new administration build ing was also under roof by the close of the year 1905. From January to March, 1906 the Executive Committee and faculty managed the affairs of the College when Rev. A. P. Funkhouser was elected President holding the position but one year. On June 12, 1907 Dr. Law- rence W. Keister assumed the duties of President. In September of this year the Administration Building was occupied giving much pleasure with its pleasant recitation rooms and well equipped labratories. It also contains the President ' s and Treasurer ' s offices, the Philokosmian Literary Society Hall and a large art room.
