J I loi n outn College, N the third of September, 1850, Monmouth College was opened. It was at first started as an Academy but was taken under the care of Monmouth Presbytery the next year as a College with Rev. David A. Wallace as the president. For more than twenty-one years Dr. Wallace gave the most efficient and faithful service to the college. It is to Dr. Wallace and the early Faculty that Monmouth owes a debt which never can be paid. Dr. Wallace resigned his position in 1878. In the spring of the same year Rev. J. B. McMichael D. D., was elected to the position and began his work in the fall of the same year. Dr. McMicheal gave nineteen of the best years of his life to the college, and it made rapid progress under his wise administration. The endow- ment was greatly increased and the auditorium was built. Dr. McMichael resigned in ' 97. Rev. S. R. Lyons, D. D., was elected president in ' 9S and has been in control of aft ' airs for three years. The college has had great success in the past and it is the hope lliat it will continue and increase. With the business affairs under the present management there will be great progress, for without doubt Monmouth College never had such a good man in charge of her finances as she has at present. The curriculum is equal to that of any minor college of the State hav- ing good tsaohers in charge of every department. During the past year no department has been more popular than that of Modern Languages under the direction of Prof. Arnoldson, and the department of History under Miss Patterson. Hundreds of men and women have received their education in Mon- mouth College and are filling every kind of positions in the world of affairs.

PROF. WILSON. With the expiration of the present year, Prof .T. H. Wilson completes forty years of connection with the college: first, in the chair of Mathe- matics, and later in that of Greek. At the mid-winter meeting of the Senate he presented his resignation to take effect at Commencement. Prof. Wilson is the last remaining member who connects the present with the early Faculty — the heroic men and wjmen who made the sacrifices and bore the hardships incident to the founding of the college on these western prairies. The attainments of the present are very largely due to the unselfish devotion of these Dioneers of Christian education, ' and no one of them is deserving of more honor .than Prof. Wilson. During all these years he has been a faithful, earnest teacher, patient and skillful in imparting knowledge, a strict, but kind and just disciplinarian, a wise and discerning counseller. Not only his ability as an instructor, but the worth of his character has made him a power in the institution. Modest and unassuming, but firm in the performance of every duty, true as steel to what he considered right, he will stand in the mind ' s of the students, as a type of noble Christian manhood. As soon as, college closes Prof. Wilson goes to Colorado to reside. The Annual wishes for him many years of peace and happiness, and assures him that he will carry with liim the love and esteem of the many hundreds of students who have been under his instruction.
