955 THE 1910 MINNEISKA My -71.-XV RESIDENT Salisbury was born on a Wisconsin farm, near l..ima in G J5 Rock County, January 24, IS43. He was the oldest child in a 55 'Egfr family of six. His parents were of sturdy New England stock. His H I x,,,J boyhood was mostly spent. in the hard work of a pioneer home. He Qs he early became imbued with the desire for knowledge. In 1861, Mr. Salisbury entered Milton Academy, which he alt- tended only duri-ng the winter months, being forced to work during the summer. His college courseiwas interrupted by his country's call, and in December of IS63, he entered the army as a private in the Thirteenth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and served until December of IS65. After being mustered out of service, he returned to Lima where, for a short time, he was engaged in the nursery business. He soon dis- continued this line of work and entered Milton College where he graduated with the first g .4:mXf 'Ki-, 5 Q + f If ' if LY kg attended a rural school almost in sight of our Normal School, where class, in l870. F or the n-exft -three years, he was Principal of the Briodhead Hig'h class, in l870. For the next three years, he was Principal of the Bro-adhead High School. Then, in recognition of the excellent work done, he was appointed to a position on the Whitewater Normal Faculty. Mr. Salisbury came to the school as its first In- stitute Conductor in March, IS73, and served in that capacity until June, ISSZ. During these years of service, h-e won an enviable record throughout the state and did much towards organizing our Teachers' Institute System. He resigned this position to become Superintendent of Schools for the American Missionary Association among the Freed- men and -Indians. After three years of this responsible service, he was called back to Whitewater as President, in ISS5. V With th-e close of this year, President Salisbury completes a quarter of a century as head -of the Whitewater Normal. But this is not the whole of his connection with the schoolg that extends 'over more -than a third of a c-ontury. A study of the .schofol's history during these twenty-five years is a study of the last quarter-century of President Salis- bury's life. For her growth and struggles and aspirations were the growth, the aspira- tions, and achievements -of him who has so long and so successfully directed her course. President Salisbury made no radical changes in the administration of the school when he became its President, but he has constantly and effectively stamped his strong and inspir- ing personality upon the school until we may well say that the growth and ideals of the school are what he made them. With this thought before us, as well as the belief that it may be of interest, we wish now to recall some of the changes which have taken place in connection with the school during these twenty-five years. It would be interesting as well as instructive, if space permitted, to make a com- parison between the work done in the various departments of then and now. During this period, th-e course of study has been so changed that there is scarcely a basis of comparison. There was praotically no instruction in Drawin-gg there was only one fsmall l-ablorato-ry, the chemical, and almost no laboratory equipment. The English work, then done primarily by one teacher, is now carried by four. One person did all the w-ork in supervi-sion of Practice Teaching, and also all the -teaching of Methods. ln fact, a class in Methods had been organized, but a little more than a year, and Practice Teaching had scarcely become a required part -of the work previous to ISS5. Flor we read in the school archives of that date: lf a student happened to have some time, he was given a Prac- tice Classf' The Kindergarten has been addedg Manual Training and Construction in the grades has been inaugurated, and the Athletic Field and School Garden have been annexed. The museum and arboretum idea falls within this period, also all participation in oratory and athletics. Again, during this twenty-live years, the Faculty has increased from fifteen to twenty-Hve, and the anrn-ual play-roll fro-m il5l6,600.00 to 535,400.00 or more than double. In l885, th-ere was no Gymnasium and no Director of Physical Training. How- I5
