JoKn Shields McFLee, D,D. Born June 22, 1850 ; Pittsburg, Pa. Died March 5, 1903 ; Butler, Pa. Up to the time of his death Dr. McKee was President of the Board of Directors of Westminster College, succeeding in the office Dr. E. N. McElree in 1897. He first became a member of the Board in 1883, succeeding Dr. Robert McWatty of Mercer. Twenty years he was a member and six years he was President, and during his period of service he took a deep interest in the college. Next to his congregation he thought of it and planned for its welfare. His rather slight and boyish figure was a familiar one on the cam- pus, as he seldom failed to attend the meetings. And he always counted one in the deliberations and decisions, for he was a man of strength and address. Few men were so well balanced as he, com- bining courage with courtesy, frankness with gentlemanliness. He was pastor successively of East Brady, First Mercer, and But- ler congregations ; of the last for the longest period of eighteen years. As a pastor he was greatly beloved. He was a thorough scholar, an indefatigable worker, an excellent preacher, a brave reformer, a godly man and, I may add out of personal knowledge, a true and valuable friend. The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. R. G. Ferguson. 9

Foreword It was with no little hesitation that the Board of Editors undertook the preparation of this book, the first of its kind ever published in this institution ; and we submit the final outcome of our labors to the students and friends of Westminster College and of the class of 1904; with many hopes, — which we trust will prove not groundless, — as to the result. We have tried not only to furnish the reader a little amusement and entertainment, but also to give a general idea of the principal phases and departments of college life at Westminster ; for from its very nature such a work as this represents the college, fully as much as the class, which originates it. We wish to express our sincere thanks to all who have aided in any way in preparing this book, — to those who have made literary contri- butions, to those who have given of their time and labor, as also to those who have helped us by their drawings, photographs and sketches. We feel especially grateful to Prof. Hewetson for his many valuable suggestions and his help in preparing the manuscript. For those who are inclined to criticize, we can only urge that they remember that this book is, so to speak, a pioneer. Other classes, profiting by our experience, will, we trust, be able to do much better. As Holmes has aptly said, 11 Deal gently with us, ye who read ; Our largest hope is unfulfilled. The promise still outruns the deed, The tower, but not the spire, we build. Editors. 1 o
