'Bipnn-Haut, lgrvavni. emit illuturrf' ' OUR times in as many decades the college has been without a presi- 1 1 i dent for a period of a year or more. First, at the close of President Merriman's 5 administration in 1875 the du- ties of president were carried by Professor Merrellg in 1891, at the close of President Mer- rell's administration and again in 1900 after President Flagg's resignation, Professor Marsh became acting president. For the past year, since the resig- nation of President Hughes, college administration has been in the hands of Frank M. Erickson, Professor of Classics and Dean. During such a period the work of the college on the outer circle of its influence is comparatively quiet and the publicity features enjoy a semi-respite from their labors. .. . . , , ,,., . The college classes, however, proceed without interruption a and are in fact little affected.. For the college is carried on in part by the momentum which has been acquired dur- ing past administrations, in part by the attractive power of a new future. Such an interregnum becomes a convenient point for taking stock before the breath-consuming effort of another flight. In 1875 the college proper had but 60 students, in 1891 it had 38, in 1900 there were 49, and for the present year there are 215. ln 1875 there were four college buildings, Bartlett Cottage and Dawes Cottage were added before 1891, Ingram and the old gym. were completed by 1900. Between 1900 and 1909 the President's house was acquired by purchase, the heating plant was installed, new walks were laid and the old buildings made over to an extent which in some cases amounted to rebuilding. The general aspect and tone of the college was greatly changed to meet modern conditions. The publicity which the college has received in recent years is one of its most valuable assets.
