In 1880 President Caldwell resigned and Mr. Joseph Shortlidge was appointed. He at once met with a great deal of opposition on account of his evident lack of ability to control the students. He served but one year and resigned under pressure. Prof. McKee acted as presidentuntil 1882 when Dr. Geo. W. Atherton was selected and has ably filled the chair since that date. When Dr. Atherton was appointed the college had run down to a very low ebb andhad secured an unenviahle reputation. Under his management it has rapidly and steadily improved hoth in character and number of stu- dents and in the standing of its courses.

The Legislature in this year appropriated $I 12,000 to the col- lege for buildings. This money has been expended in erecting a chemistry and physics building, botanical laboratory, armo'ry, dwelling houses. and in beautifying the main building and the campus. This year the State appropriated,$iz7,ooo fur a new building for the ladies, and new dormitories for the Preparatory Department; also for re modeling the old building and equipping the new laboratories.
