It has recently been remodeled, so that its efficiency has been greatly in- creased. Still later, in 1892, a movement was started by the students which resulted in our Association building and gymnasium, which will always be a monument to the loyalty of the students who largely fur- nished the means by which it was erected. In all departments the college has grown wonderfully in the past ten years. An art department has been permanently established, and now occupies a well furnished studio in one end of the main building. The college library has been greatly strengthened and increased, until it now numbers ten thousand volumes. The most noticeable improvement is found in the scientific department of the college. In the summer of 1898, Saum Hall, having been aban- doned as a ladies' hall, was remodeled to meet the demands of a good, up- to-date scientific department. The first Hoor of the building is devoted to biology and geology. There are a well equipped biological labora- tory and a lecture room, and also a very complete collection of rocks and minerals for geological purposes. The second floor is devoted to physics, and includes a lecture room and laboratory. On the third floor is the the chemical department, including a well furnished laboratory, lecture room, and several smaller rooms. The building is piped for water and gas, and all the modern conveniences are present. Much progress has also been made in the department of physical education. There is a well equipped gymnasium, and regular classes, both for ladies and gentlemen, are organized. Through the kindness of a friend ofthe institution, the equipment has been greatly augmented. Another recent improvement is the lighting of the college building with electricity. Such, in brief, is the history of Otterbein University. Its iniiuence has been great, and the blessings which have come from the institution can not be numbered. 11
