@I866 1916 dents in all. In the summer of 1876 new life was infused into the College by the election of Rev. David DeLong, D.D., as Presi- dent. During this term, the Mu- sic Department was added, and one hundred and seven students grad- uated, of which fourteen were mu- sic students. For several months of the I Term of 1887, the College was without a president and her inter- ests were managed by the Execu- tive Committee. Early in October, Rev. Edmund S. Lorenz, A. M., was elected to the chair, and he soon entered upon his duties. Ill health, however, obliged him to retire and, in 1884. Cyrus J. Kephart, I). D.. tilled the appointment. His term durated for but one year and on July 28, 18%, Or. E. Benj. Bierman was called to tie position. The Silver Anniversary of the College was held on June 15, 1892, when enough mone was raised to purchase about three acres of ground to he added to the College Campus. Dr. Bierman was followed, in 1897. by Hervin U. Roop, Ph.D., who held the office until January 1, 1906. The Executive Committee and Faculty were the joint rules until March 9, of the same year when Rev. A. P. Funkhouser, A. M., was appointed and who was followed in rapid order by Rev. Lawrence Keister, S. T. B., D.D., on June 10, 1907. His resignation was presented in June, 1912, and Dr. George Daniel Gossard, of Baltimore, Md., succeeded him in September of the same year. The tide of affairs at this College has been one of continual surging and back- bounding. At times our progress was so sure, our forward strides so massive and firm, our visible results of labor so fruitful that success seemed to stare us in the face with such an undaunted expression of sincerity that the acquisition thereof seemed but a matter of due course of time. But, alas! The blight of retrogression came all too soon and too inopportune. With it, it raged its path of destruction, but never could it uproot the fundamental assets of but one or the other regal personages; and each time, perseverance, patience, long-suffering and determination wrought its mir- acles of wonders, applied its soothing and healing balms, mustered up the child of despair, nurtured it to the fair paths of prosperity, until today, with the efficient Dr. Gossard as the chief guardian, it has grown to the giddy heights of popularity, surmounted the seemingly overwhelming obstacles in the way and is setting a pace that no blight can destroy, no plague can devastate, and no grim harvester of death wreap destruction. Ever live!
