: : ARG 0W 1912 : : other Colleges in both oration and Debating contests. In addition to this a special School of Expression is maintained to tit graduates for platform work as interpreters of literature. Deepening interest re- veals that a large success will be attained by this department of College work. Both pulpit and platform will reflect results. College Location : Westminster was founded at a time when one place was about as good as another for a College, since most towns had to be reached by horseback or wagon. The College has suflered much by not being located on a main line of travel. Time is removing this difficulty. Through trains on the Pennsylvania system are now run between Pittsburg, ( il City and Buffalo, thus allowing travelers from North and South to reach Wilmington Junction without change on three trains daily. With a new State road from the village to the [unction the College will be but ten minutes ' ride by auto bus from the main line of travel, a distance no longer than that between city universities and their city railroad station, with this advantage that the traveler to Westminster will have his ride through one of the most beautiful valleys of the world rather than through the crowded thoroughfares of the city. In the end, therefore, it will be discovered lhat Westminster ' s location is alright and central to the vast population she would serve. In her intellectual, moral and spiritual qualities, as well as material equipment, she is aiming to be the kind of a College that Christian parents should want for their children. The College will do her part toward a great future success. Let the Church in her support do her part as well. 28

: v - : arco w 1912 ; graduated from Amherst, received his Master ' s Degree at Northwest- ern University and his Ph. D. from Harvard. For two years he con- ducted the work of his department with painstaking care and en- thusiasm. Laboratory equipment was greatly enlarged under Dr. I Inward, and Ids reputation as a careful leader in laboratory work established in a large way. Receiving a Mattering offer from the University of Washington, his relations with Westminster were terminated. Dr. Howard was succeeded in September, 1908, by Prof. Owen W. Mills, M. A., a graduate of Clark University, with Master ' s Degree from the same institution. His preparation for work was secured under the instruction of the eminent Dr. C. F. Hodge of international fame in matters of Biology and Zoology. Under Professor Mills the Biological laboratory has become one of rare completeness, while the character of the work done prepares for the advanced work of the professional schools, and best of all adds a zest to living through the development of powers to observe and appreciate the beauty and wisdom of life functions about us. Modern Languages: The Modern Language courses of West- minster, including French, German and Italian, are of exceptional strength, offering five courses of German, four courses of French, and one in Italian. Training is given by native professional teachers, so that students may expect to have command of the languages studied. Graduates are fitted for modern language work in our High Schools, while those who intend later to study abroad are offered a thorough preparation for any advanced work they may wish to pursue. This department has reached a high standard of excellency under the head- ship of Prof. Anna Hevberger, graduate of the C arl-Ferdinand Uni- versity in Prague. Music and Art: Space forbids an enlarged description of these two departments which are important features of Westminster life. The School of Music, under the leadership of Director W. W. Camp- hell, has no superior in the thoroughness and efficiency of its work and the excellence of equipment. The strength of this assertion is a challenge to investigate. Art likewise is being studied along the line of the high ideals set by Miss Hodgens, who for almost twenty years gave her life to the work. Miss Lucy M. Manley being her worthy successor, and in every way fitted for the broad work of the department. School of Expression : Public speaking as a feature of the De- partment of English receives a large emphasis in the work of the College, it being the aim of this department to fit graduates for leader- ship in public life. Under the direction of Prof. Elbert R. Moses, much attention is given to the preparation and delivery of public dis- course, while important inter-collegiate relations are maintained with 27
