VYTii ■ i iJ TMURMUr MONTIS7 History of Wesleyan IN 1883 it was proposed to the members of the West Virginia Conference ml that they locate a seminary. A board of trustees was appointed and directed to receive contributions and proposals of endowment for the new school. On August 29. 1887. the trustees purchased forty-three acres of land at Buck- hannon, and proceeded with the erection of the buildings. In 1890 the school was open for the admission of students. The Rev. B. W. Hutchinson was chosen for the first president. The Ladies ' Hall was built in 1893 and in 1902 the Music Hall was finished, about the same time the Presidents residence was built. The main building was burned on February 4, 1905. The following year College Hall was completed, and a central heating plant installed. The good work of the school soon won her many friends, and in 1912-13 it was possible for two new buildings to be erected. They were the Haymond Science Hall, the gift of Mrs. Virginia Haymond of Clarksburg, and the Gymnasium. The Gymnasium is said to be the finest in the state. Wesleyan is still advancing. This year through the influence of our president. Dr. Flemmg. the rooms in the basement of the main building have been remodelled and equipped with all the modern domestic science appliances. Owning to the generosity of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Clarksburg West Virginia, much new and valuable equipment has been secured for use in the Gymnasium. It has been the policy of the college to make the work as thorough as possible, and only to give credit to those students who meet the common requirements of the best colleges and the universities. The work done here is recognized and accepted by them. ten fidXms
