I Hz'-1 -igggvfw-.-?e5':'gun:v5cmf .wrw-iw rg 681485 L POIWL we ' The Mad Anthony staff, by publish- ing the next few pages, has tried to pre- sent to you a pictorial thumb nail sketch of the history of Waynesburg College. lt is hard for us of the modern, fast moving air age to picture our college of the by- gone days. It is hard to envision Hanna Hall lighted by gas, or coeds wearing, instead of jeans and borrowed shirts, high collared full skirted dresses. There were no modern bells run by electricity, but one huge central bell gave the signal for the beginning of classes. Begin here, see the college as it was, as it is today and then dream of the possibilities it har- bors for the future. The picture on the left is one of Dr. A. B. Miller, affectionately known to older Waynesburg alumni as The Father of Waynesburg College, was a member of the first class of men graduated in 1853. He was a teacher until 'I859 and was both President and teacher from 1859 until his death in 1902. . 4 . .vt ug . . ' 'A Q x ., X Above is pictured the College as it stood in 1860. Notice the grade school building and the cow fence around Hanna Hall.
