-— The Modulus M On September 14, 1922, occurred the death of President Sniff. Professor C. C. Sherrard assumed the duties of the office as acting President of the institution and continued until April 16, 1923, when E. D. Long acquired an interest in the school and became President of it. In 1927, Professor W. O. Bailey died. He had been connected with the school since 1893, and had had a part in training literally thousands of young men and women for their life work. During this year, two other notable and significant events took place affecting the school. One was the closing of the Normal School and the other the laying of plans for the extension of the School of Commerce. The Nor¬ mal School had been an integral part of Tri-State College since it was founded, but conditions over which the school had no control forced its closing. Because of this, Professor W. A. Fox and Professor F. M. Starr withdrew at the close of the school year of 1927. Three men who had been teachers in the College for a number of years, W. A. Pfeifer, L. A. Ott and Raymon Roush acquired stock in the institution and be¬ came members of the managing Board of Directors. Mr. Walfred Lindstrom a man new to the school, also bought stock and came in as a member of the Board and Dean of the School of Commerce. At the beginning of the year 1928, President E. D. Long sold his interest in the school and retired from participation in its activities. Professor C. C. Sherrard succeeded to the office of President at the opening of the Winter term, 1928. AIMS In the forty-one years since its organization, Tri-State College has grown from the 60x60 frame building and 40 students to three commodious buildings and an annual enrollment of approximately 1200 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 insti¬ tution 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 opportunity to realize his best self, is worthy of re¬ spect. From the earliest years Tri-State College has offered 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. Fur¬ thermore, her doors have always been open to that other group of young people wh o because they did not appreciate the value of education, dropped out of school, only to discover later that education is a necessity. Tri-State College is not a standardized 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. The members of the present Board of Directors are: C. C. Sherrard, Pres., Walfred Lindstrom, Vice-President; Burton Handy, Secretary; L. A. Ott, Treasurer; G. G. Niehous, W. A. Pfeifer, Raymon Roush.
