1856 flDonmoutb College 1903 J| ON MOUTH COLLEGE is loved by all who have come under her instruction, esteemed by those who f II y have known her influence, and honored by those who tread the pathway of life with her alumni. Many struggles have come to her in her history, but she stands the stronger today, better able to enlarge her borders and increase her ability to aid humanity. The beginnings of Monmouth College were modest, and modesty has ever characterized her as an institution. In 1856 she was established by the Illinois Synod of the United Presbyterian Church, since which tim e she has continued to make progress until now she stands foremost in the rank of educational institutions of our church. The untiring efforts of her faithful presidents have done much to make the institution what she is. Well has some one said of Dr. David A. Wallace, her first president, Seldom does any enterprise of the kind so completely absorb the whole man as Monmouth College — as a school of Christ, for that was his ideal of it — absorbed him. Body and mind; time talent, and culture: labor and purse — the one abundant and the other lean — and above all, heart, were all in- vested in Monmouth College The success of the second president, Dr. J. B. McMichael, was just as marked and today all eyes are turned towards him who has been called to follow in the footsteps of his father, and to lead his Alma Mater on to greater achievements. The brief presidency of Dr. S. R. Lyons opened the door to wider influence and to a greater Monmouth College. Monmouth College has always stood for Christianity. She has been managed by Christian men and women, whose influence has touched the lives of the many students who have received instruction at their hands. Stability and thoroughness have characterized her class-room work until she can challenge comparison with any of her sister colleges. The standard of excellence in the College is high, as a result of which her work is recognized by other institutions. Never were the prospects for success greater that at present. Every instructor, every student, every alumnus, every friend of the College expects to uphold the hands of our new president, Dr T. H. McMichael. All feel that a new future is dawn- ing, in which Monmouth College will become even a more noble center of influence for God and humanity.
