The name selected for the institution was that which it now hears. Midland College. The school opened in the fall of 1887 with seventeen students enrolled in the collegiate department, the first building to be occupied was the Atchison Institute building, owned and formerly used by Harriet Karbari Monroe, an ardent Lutheran, who had up to that time conducted an academy. A faculty of nine members was selected. Rev. Moshcim Rhodes, I). I)., who contributed delinite policies to the college, was president pro tern. Prof. W . H. Wynn. Ph. I)., from whom the Wynn Literary Society gets its name, and who suggested the name “Kalophronean for the other literary society, was dean and professor of Ancient and Modern Languages. Rev. W. B. Glanding. A. ML. was professor of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Other instructors were Franz A. Lem me. German and French; Gertrude DuBois Wynn. Art; Phoebe Clark and Fid ward S. Karhart. A. VI., instructors of preparatory classes; Rev. J. S. Detweilcr and Harriet Karhart Monroe. Rev. Dr. Wynn for a time, also, acted as president of the college. The first president of Midland College, Rev. Jacob A. Clutz. I). I)., was inaugu- rated in 1889. He furthered the eminently successful policies, already shaped by l)r. Rhodes, in expanding the college. The personal it of Dr. ('.lutz permeated the entire college and constituency, and was a great contributing factor in firmly estab- lishing tin institution. He had a well-stored mind of unusual penetration and was a teacher of superior ability. The president possessed a splendid executive ability and could express himself in a plain manner without giving offense, and had the

He was a friend and helper of all the students and took a personal interest in them. By the end of I)r. Clutz's administration in 1901, three buildings had been erected on the campus; the main building, Atchison Hall; the girls' dormitory. Oak Hall; a small gymnasium. The student body by this time had increased to thirty in the collegiate department. 'Fhe Western Theological Seminary was established during this administration, theological instruction at Midland College was authorized in 1893, and the first class of Five men was graduated two years later. By the authority and direction of the General Synod held at Hagerstown, Maryland, in June. 1895, the Seminary was formally opened in the fall of the same year with Rev. Frank I). Altman, D. I)., as the first president. Rev. Millard F. Troxell. I). I)., became the second president in 1901. To him may be attributed the extension of the building program and the addition of mate- rial equipment. It was during his administration that the Carnegie Library was built and an extensive amount of laboratory equipment was added. In 1910 Midland College and the Western Theological Seminary were reorga- nized as a single institution. I p to this time the Seminary had been under direct supervision and control of the Board of Education. This merger placed both insti- tutions under the direction and control of the Board of Trustees of Midland College. Rev. Holmes Dysinger. I).
