Acting Chancellor Clark Fulmer was O 'Sf' elected Chancellor, March 23, 1911. Shortly after this time we find announcement . UV, of a greater gymnasium. In, spite of diiiiculties, a gymnasium did materialize, ground f . Il being broken during the first week in October. It was ready for use by December 1 3 ' of the same year. That was a year of instruction and enlargement. The greenhouse was built. ,f 1 An old Wesleyan describes 'it as an U elegant new hom-e for plants, costing the Uni- Y Qxqll., versity S1200 . At the present time it would cost perhaps 34000. X f A QI , . . M. . W February 7, 1912, occurred the death of ex-Chancellor Huntington, de-arly loved by if XX, the entire University. A feeling of gloom settled for a time over the school. l if Q 'V ' The first collegiate night was held March 8, 1912. Since that time this has ' Q become an annual affair. During this year Nebraska Wesleyan University developed h ' a team of intercollegiate Basketball Championship character. 1909 Dean B. E.

In 1917 Acting Chancellor Isaac B. Schreckengast, li, fx' became chancellor. In, 1917 much agitation was being raised about a new teachers' 7 I college building, which was constructed in 1918. Peter Van Fleet, a Nebraska minister, f 1 ' gave the first 35,000 towards its construction, later increasing the amount to S10,000. Q- Q I Because of his generosity it has been named the Van Fleet Teachers' College. GV For the seventh time in twelve seasons Wesleyan's basketball team became Winner , of the Conference in 1921. A rl: On December 21, 11:59 P. M., 1922, Nebraska Wesleyan received the last pledge l' l 1 fl on her endowment program, the total pledged amounting to S1,341,700.00. ' 1 K, Wesleyan's struggles have,been well rewarded. It has been common for our ,i orators to secure the state champion-ship. During recent years Skeirik, Parkinson, , , Harrison, Brooks, Casteel, and Rosario have well represented Wesleyan in forensics. , Z This year our women's debate team has made a fine record, and for the past several 1 , 2 years our men's teams have been making unusual records. N ' Truly are our graduates leading in science, industry, business, and in missionary 5 work.
