tory Department is becoming more apparent every day ; the claims for a Chemical and Physical Laboratory are urging themselves upon us ; there is a strong demand for a first-class, well equipped gymnasium. A move- ment to supply this latter want at a very early date is now assuming shape, and we trust will soon come to a successful issue. Meanwhile let the friends of Susquehanna University study the work done by that institution, examine her needs and see what is their duty in reference to making her future history more glorious. — J.

influence of the Theological Department. The instruction, also, has con- stantly aimed to recognize properly in all things the hand of God. Though the growth of the institution has not been as rapid as it ought to have been, and though it has not received the support that its devotion to the cause of education and Christianity deserved; yet within recent years, very marked strides along the line of progress have been made. In 1S94 the Board of Directors, recognizing that the school had thoroughly outgrown the origi- nal building, determined to erect a new building of modern type to meet these increasing wants. This was done at a cost of over $20,000. In February, 1895, this building ( now known as Gustavus Adolphus Hall) was taken possession of, and in June of the same year, it was dedicated. The old building (Selius Grove Hall) was next remodeled and arranged for students ' dormitories exclusively. Both buildings are heated by steam and are greatly enjoyed both by the Collegiate and Theological students. With these material equipments there came also a need of an increase in the teaching force and at present writing the school has a hard working faculty of seven professors, three instructors, and a teacher of Music and Art. By the efforts of these teachers, five courses of instruction have been arranged and are maintained : the Classical, leading to the degree of B. A. ; the Latin Scientific, leading to the degree of B. S. ; the Normal Course, leading to the degree of B. E. ; the Preparatory Course which fits for col- lege ; and the Theological Course which covers a period of three years. Aiming at a high standard of scholarship, these courses have recently been revised and will doubtless compare favorably with those of the leading colleges of our state. With an increase of advantages in buildings, equipments, and teach- ing force, there has come more than a corresponding increase of students and even now, in certain directions, the school has again outgrown its facilities. But we are glad to say that the school also enjoys a correspond- ingly larger influence, and is regarded with favor by a large number of the most influential Lutheran ministers and laymen of the state. In a general way it may be said that institutions of learning pass through three periods in the experiences of their history : the period of foundation , the period of formation and the period of expansion. With us, the first period was long, required much prayer, great faith, and patient waiting ; the second passed somewhat more rapidly, was more encouraging and appears to be Hearing its end, for already the period of expansion is shading in, the larger needs are thrusting themselves upon ns, are being considered, and, we have reason to believe, will in due time be sup- plied. The necessity of a new Dormitory with provision for the Prepara- 15
