THE FIRST GRADUATING CLASS, 1878 D. K. BOND MAUD GILCHRIST L. E. CHURCHILL R. O. BENTON THE FIRST GRADUATING CLASS, 1878 XVith what pride and hopes of future success must Prof G'l l ' , . . 1 cirist have handed to these four young people their certificates of graduation from the State Normal School of Iowa! And who would have blamed any one of those young people for having been proud of membership in that first class? Though all these young people took the Normal course with the full expectation of teaching, since people changed their minds sometimes in those days as well as now. we find but one of them in the profession today. Miss Maude Gilchrist is now Dean of XVOITICILS Dep't in the Michigan Agricultural College at Lansing, Mich. Mr. Bond is a practicing physician in Waterloo, while Mr. Churchill and Mr. Benton are both deceased. 11

M., Professor of Mathematics and English Literature. Miss Frances L. Webster, Teacher of Geography and History. E. W. Burnham, Professor of Music. Col. J. M. Patte, Steward. Principal Gilchrist was elected at the first meeting of the Board of Directors, held July 7, 1876. He was a man of large and varied experience in educational work, having been successively a rural school teacher, county superintendent, principal of two state Normal schools- one in Pennsylvania, the other in West Virginia-principal of a private academy, and superintendent of city schools. He was also widely known as an institute lecturer and as a writer upon educational themes. He served the school for ten years guiding it safely and successfully through the experimental stage of its history. Professor Bartlett was also at the time of his election an experienced and successful educator, having filled the chair of Greek and Latin in a number of academies and colleges. He resigned his position in the institution in 1904, after an incumbency of twenty-eight years, to enjoy the retirement and well-earned rest of his pleasant home in Waterloo. In 1886 he served as president of the Iowa State Teachers' Association. Professor Wright was still a young man when elected to a place in the first faculty. He had served for four years as president of VVhittier College, at Salem, Iowa. and he resigned his position to accept a chair in the State Normal School. He is the only mem- ber of the original faculty now connected with the institution. He had the honor of pre- siding over the State Teachers' Association at the celebration of its semi-centennial anni- versary, held in December, 1904. Miss Webster was a recent graduate of the State Normal School at Pottsdam, New York. In 1878 she resigned her position to enter upon the duties of instructor in the State Normal School at Los Angeles, California. After a brief incumbency of this position, she was married to a banker at Martinez, California, where she now resides. Prof. Burnham was an accomplished musician. He remained with the school but a short time. as the salary that the school could then afford to pay was insufficient to retain his services. Col. J. M. Patte, the steward, acted as business manager of the institution. 10
