The collegiate year of I9l3-l9l4 has been .one of the m.ost prosperous in the history of Morningside College. The fire which occurred two years ago brought with it much inconvenience and some depression. But the vigor with which the loss was repaired gave con- hdence to all the friends of the school and put fresh spirit into its activities. With a fresh rebound every interest of the institution has assumed new vitality. While it is not always possible to satis- factorily tabulate advances, yet the in- crease of registration is some index to the real conditions. The registration of the college advanced from 504 of last year to 638 this year. This increase is shared by every department of the institution, but is very noticeable in the collegiate department. An increase of forty men in the four college classes marks a healthy forward movement. The out- standing event of the present year has been the successful completion of the fine lifty thousand dollar gymnasium. This is one of the most complete build- ings devoted to physical education to be found in any college in the land. Its proportions are l20x60, with an ap- proach of 36xl8 devoted to offices of the physical directors. Coach Saunder- son has assumed charge of the physical work for men in addition to his work A. Qeliginua fBy Rev. One of the distinctive things about a Christian College is what may be called its atmosphere. It might not be an easy thing to dehne what we mean by atmos- phere, but we all know what it signifies. H. E.. Craig., as coach, Miss Brand, a graduate of Oberlin College, has efficiently directed the activities of the young women. This addition to our equipment has met a long- felt desire on the part of the students, and is greatly appreciated. Provision has been made for the installation of a complete department of Domestic Sci- ence. Miss Pearl Stuart Greene of Chi- cago has been secured to take charge of this department. Miss Greene is a grad- uate of the Northwestern University and of the Lewis Institute of Chicago, and brings to the work of this department high ideals and genuine college spirit. The course in this department will be given full college recognition. The Con- servatory of Music has had a year of remarkable success. Nearly three hun- dred students have been enrolled for in- struction. This department will be strengthened next year by the addition of several new instructors. In our In- ter-Collegiate contests the year has been up to our usual high record. Our debaters won both decisions, win- ning over Coe College and Teachers' College. Our representative at the state Prohibition contest gained second place. Athletic conditions are healthy and hope- ful. Every evidence points to the fact that Morningside College is entering upon a period of real prosperity and unusual expansion. I-Xriiuitg A.
