ground in extension, but to measure its depth in intension of knowledge and thought. A large number of elective studies for the junior and senior years have also been provided, and are giving great satisfaction to the students who strive to become more proficient in the lines of thought they intend to follow in after life. In the theological department much the same system prevails. The student recites fifteen hours per week, is required to read extensively and make independent investigations. It is the aim of the teachers to make the instruction and training eminently practical and the interest manifested by the students is sufficient evidence of the success attained in this direc- tion. In conclusion be it said that in spite of the period of financial depres- sion through which we have passed, in spite of the words of disparage- ment and discouragement received from many quarters, Susquehanna Uni- versity has succeeded admirably, and has thoroughly and admittedly established her claim to the recognition of the church. There is yet much to be attained ; there are the many needs of a growing institution ; but with what has been accomplished in whole and in part, with the capacity of the school crowded, with loyalty on the part of the students, members of the board, alumni and friends, with the laboratory on the campus and a gymnasium in progress and not far distant, with a ladies ' cottage looming up within the horizon of hope, with the church and God on our side, we feel encouraged to press forward, in faith believing that in the fullness of time our institution shall occupy that greater field of usefulness over which her influence is destined to extend. —J. I. W. March 2, 1898. 12
