It was located about three miles -east of Oskaloosa and was commenced under the direction of Mr. David Morgan and Dr. I. W. Morgan. During the first year the enrolment numbered seventy-five students, and the institution prospered until the building was destroyed by fire in 1863. The next year s-chool was held in a. church near by, and afterwards for several years the Fri-ends' Yearly Meeting House, just north of the city, was used as a school-house. But rapid growth soon necessitated larger quarters, and steps were taken for the er-ection of a new buil-din-g. In 1870 a site was purchased in the north-ern part of the city, and the building of the west wing of the present Penn College structure was begun. At first the fates seem-ed to b-e against the enterp-rise, for during the course of construc- tion one entire wall an-d part of an-other were bl-own down in a severe storm. But, through the p-ersev-erenc-e of Henry Ninde and others, the building was completed. The work was finished in the fall of 1872 at a cost of SI7,000. On the 5th of November a schoolcalled Friends High School was opened here with Mr. John W. Woody as prin- cip-al and with two assistant teachers, The ne-Xt year the schoo-l was organized on a college basis. The first term
