Sniff resigned his position and Pro- fessor J. F. Bryant was chosen to succeed him. After one year, Professor Sniff returned and took up the' duties of President, and continued in active service until the time of his death. In 1914, Professor Burton Handy, who had taught in the school for one '-year, became a stockholder. Pro- fessor Handy is still a teacher in the institution. President Snif died on September 14, 1922. On Jan. 10, 1923, E. D. Long, a graduate of, and a former teacher in, the College was chosen as President of the institution, and on April 16, 1923, assumed the duties of that oflice. In October, 1923, President Long became a stockholder by purchasing Mrs. Sniif's interest in the institution. Aims Q WN the forty-one years since its organization, Tri-State College has grown from the 60x60 frame building and 40 students to three com- modius buildings and an annual enrollment of approximately1200 students. The school has no endowment and receives no aid from the State. It has nothing to commend it to public confidence but its work. Honest service alone accounts for the splendid growth the school has enjoyed. Without hostility to either Church or State schools, and with full recognition of the fact that both are important, Tri-State College believes that an educational institution which will take a boy with one or two years of high school work, or it may be from the shop, and give him the oppor- tunity to realize his best self, is worthy of respect. From the earliest years Tri-State College has oiered to that great body of young men and women, who, from various causes, have been denied the privilege of a high school education, the opportunity to get an education even at a late day. Furthermore, her doors have always been open to that other group of young people ,who because they did not appreciate the value of education, dropped out of school, only to discover later that education is a necessity. Outside of the School of Education, Tri-State College is not a stand- ardized institution. This makes it possible for her to say to prospective students: You need not have a High school course to enter here. This brings to us many young people who have ability but not much schooling, and accounts for the fact that We always have a body of students such as would be a credit to any University. The fact that Tri-State College is not a standardized school also makes it possible for the directors of the school to put into practice the following motto: Put everything into a course that is necessary, leaving out all that is not necessary. Open this course to any one who can take it. Give all who enter an opportunity to do the work in the shortest possible time, and grant a diploma with the appropriate degree as soon as the course is completed. -.-T The stockholders constitute the Board of Directors, which at the pres- ent time is as follows: Charles C. Sherrard, President, Willis A. Fox, Vice- Presidentg Fred M. Starr, Secretary-Treasurer, William O. Bailey, George G. Niehous, Burton Handy and Ernest D. Long. The members of the Board of Directors are all members of the fac- ulty. At the present time the faculty numbers twenty-two. ' -..aw -.. .- W- .- - - --fe nf, Page 18

P History of TrifState College KPTCSIJCTIC E. D. Longj QXQEN the summer of 1883 a number of the leading citizens of Angola, Indiana, formed an association for the purpose of establishing a Normal College. The first regular meeting of this association was held July 25, 1883. The following officers were elected: President, H. D. Wood, M. D., Vice President, L. A. Hendryg Secretary, W. W. Ferrierg Treasurer, Lawrence Gates 3 Trustees, Orville Goodale, Orville Carver, L. A. Hendry, J. S. Draper and Professor L. R. Williams. On June 17, 1884, the school was opened with thirty-six students, and before the end of the year the enrollment had reached nearly two hundred. The first faculty consisted of C. E. Kircher, Principlalg W. S. Harshman, L. W. Creel, F. T. Burnham, Flora Work, Eddie Shepherd and Allie Cline. The next year, 1885, several changes were made in the fac- ulty, and Professor L. M. Sniif became President of the school. During this year the Commercial Building was erected by the citizens of Angola, and the enrollment increased to about three hundred and fifty students. In 1887, the management of the College was transferred, by the Col- lege Association to the faculty consisting of Pres. L. M. Sniif, Professor L. W. Fairfield, Professor Charles Scaer and Professor W. J. Kinney. Pro- fessor Scaer sold his interest in the school and resigned his position as a teacher in 1894. Professor W. J. Kinney quit teaching in 1900, and sold his stock to Professor C. C. Sherrard in 1908. Professor Fairfield ceased to teach in the institution when he entered Congress in 1916, and in 1923 sold his interest inthe school to the Company. This year, 1887, saw the erection of the Administration Building by the Company. In 1893, Profes- sor I. A. Melendy, who had been a teacher in the school for a number of years, became a stockholder. The same year Professor W. O. Bailey be- came a stockholder and teacher. Professor Melendy sold his interest in the school and resigned his position in 1909. Professor Bailey is still a teacher in the institution. In 1900, the Law department was added, with Doak R. Bestas Dean, and in 1901 the department of Pharmacy, with Professor C. C. Sherrard as Dean. In 1903 Professor Sherrard became an owner by purchasing stock from Professor W. J. Kinney. In 1906, the institution was incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana as Tri-State College of Angola, Indiana. At the same time two technical schools were incorporated, known respectively as TriLState Col- lege of Engineering and Tri-State College of Pharmacy. The school of Pharmacy has not been in operation since 1918. In 1908, Tri-State College Cas a teacher training institutionj was accredited by the State of Indiana, and the Engineering Building was erected by the citizens of Angola. With this building the College entered upon a new and enlarged program. The year following, 1909, Willis A. Fox, Lorin Stuckey, F. M. Starr and E. O. Maple associated themselves with the institution as stockholders and teachers. At the same time Professor G. G. Niehous, who for some time previous had been a teacher in the College, became a stockholder. Mr. Maple taught in the school for a short time, and disposed of his stock in 1914. Mr. Stuckey resigned his 1 rage' 1? If
