'Q I fl-LHB PAEEADIUM 9' Faculty Organization The first faculty consisted of the following members: RI. Dill, president and professor of pedagogy, J. VV. Morgan, professor of mathematics, Bliss Nettie Rousseau, of Iowa, teacher of methods, E. KI. Shackelford, professor of English and science, E. H. Kruger, of Atlanta, musicg and Bliss Laura Jenkins, art. All were im- ported teachers except Professor Shackelford, and he is the only one who has been with the School from its establishment, this year rounding out a quarter of a century of service for him. None of the others remained longer than a year or two. Professor Dill held the position of president for only one year, and was succeeded by Dr. E. R. Eldridge in September, 1888. He came from Iowa, and remained at the head of the institution for eleven years. Professor Shackelford, the present incumbent, was elected president in 1899. A biographical sketch of these three gentlemen appears in this volume. Comparatively few faculty changes have been made in the twenty-five years of the Schools existence. These changes and additions will be noted by departments, taking that of mathematics first. J. VV. llorgan, the first incumbent, was succeeded by J. ll. Dewberry in 1889, and he was followed by BI. D. Pace in 1891. Prof. Pace has held the position continually since. ln Pedagogy, Prof. Dill was followed by Dr. Eldridge in 1888, and he by E. RI. VVright in 1899, who remains at the head of this department. The original department of English and Science was segregated in 1888, Pro- fessor Shackelford retaining the English and Charles S. Richardson of South Dakota taking the science. Professor Richardson was followed by C. L. KIcCartha in 1889. After a year's occupancy, Professor 1NIcCartha resigned to accept a position in the Southern University, at Greensboro, Ala. He was succeeded by A. A. Persons, who held the place three years. Prof. Persons has held professorships in the Universities of Florida and Alabama, but is now Superintendent of the public schools of Bessemer, Ala. Upon the retirement of Prof. Persons, Prof. KIcCartha returned to the post where he remained until 1898 when he was transferred to the Department of Ancient Languages, where he still continues. He was followed by F. J. Cowart, the present head of the Science department. Professor Shackelford remained in charge of the Department of English, to which was added Civics, until his election to the presidency in 1899, since which time his teaching has been confined to the latter branch, the English being taught by Pro- fessor lNfIcCartha until 1908, when hliss Sarah E. Luther took charge of the English, leaving Professor McCartha only the Languages. 20
