At first, however, it seemed to be on the decline, having in 1880 an attend- ance of only 55, but this was due largely to the fact that it was given very scant support by the State. From 1882 to 1885 the faculty of Shepherd College was composed of but two members, Prof. D. D. Pendleton and Miss Mary E. Allen, but at present it consists of a principal and nine assistants. ITS BUILDINGS Shepherd College now has three buildings in which to do its work. The oldest of these is the original Shepherd College, which was trans- ferred by a perpetual lease to the Board of Trustees by Shepherd Brooks, of Boston, when the school Was first organized. This Board gave the build- ing over to the State to be used for normal school purposes. From that time until 1897, when a new bnilding was erected just north of it, the College was the home of the school. The building contains six large rooms, two of which are now used by the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations, two by the model school, and two by the Depart- ment of Music. Adjoining the above is what was until recently known as Shepherd College Hall. It was erected in 1889 by the citizens of Shepherdstown and placed at the disposal of the school, by which it was used for a place for holding commencement exercises, lectures, receptions, and chapel services. It is now headquarters for the Cadet Corps and has been desig- nated The Armory. The new Shepherd College building, erected in 1897, was totally de- stroyed by fire in the spring of 1901, and another building was put in it place. This second building, a cut of which appears elsewhere in this number of The Picket, was completed and first occupied in the spring of 1904. This building is one of the best of its kind within the State. It is thoroughly modern and well appointed. The basement contains a large gymnasium, lavatories, toilet rooms, and several rooms adapted to labor- atory uses. The first fioor contains the principal's oflice, general office, study hall, library, cloak rooms, and five commodious class rooms. On the second floor are found a fine auditorium, with a seating capacity of about seven hundred, two literary society halls, three class rooms, cloak rooms, etc. This building, as also the others, is heated with hot water. The boiler house is a short distance from the main structure. Water for I2
