Dr. Edward H. Merrell succeeded Presif dent Merriman in 1876 and served continf uously as president until his resignation fn 1891.1 Dr. Merrell, however, gave continf uous service to the institution from Septemf ber, 1862, to the time of his death in 1910. During his administration, Bartlett Hall and the wooden building, long known as the old laboratory and later as Athenian Hall, were built, and considerable additions to the endowment fund were collected. Dr. Rufus C. Flagg became president in 1892 and retired in 1900. During this pe' riod two staunch friends of the college were added to the official board: O. H. Ingram of Eau Claire, and Albert G. Earr of Chif cago, whose gifts and interest were many during the succeeding years. Ingram Hall was erected in 1899 and 1900. Dr. Richard Cecil Hughes served as president from 1901 to 1908, years of exf pansion for the college, during which the heating plant was installed, and Middle College was rebuilt with funds fromtthe estate of Elisha D. Smith of Menasha, and the building was rechristened Elisha D. Smith Hall. The old preparatory depart' ment became a thing of the past, and the college department increased in numbers. After the withdrawal of President Hughes, during the interregnum the present gymnasf ium was made possible by the generosity of Mr. Farr, who paid all of the bills incurred in its construction. Since 1909 Ripon College has been under the Presidency of one of its own graduates, Dr. Silas Evans, with the exception of about three years during which Dr. Henry Coe Culbertson was in charge. Two campaigns for building up the endowment of the colf lege, one in 1915 and one in 1924, were successfully carried through in this period under Dr. Evans. In this period also, the following houses were acquired: Sanford, Harwood, Duffie, Merriman and Lyle. Into the fabric of Ripon College has gone the lives of a great number of devout, chrisf tian men and women, whose sacrifices, and the sacrificial giving of a host of friends, have made possible the college of today.
