were four professors besides the President in The FHCUPKY- The College was earlyafurnished with a fair museum and a well-selected library of nearly one thousand volumes. A reading room was open-ed at the beginning of the second y-ear. The school emphasized the importance of originality of work, and the value of writing and speaking correct English. In the second year, a debating class and five literary societies had been organized. Penn grew and prospered with a.n in- creased patronage and a higher standard in the grade of stu- dents. The enrolment in 1875-76 numbereditwo hundred hfty-six, with thirty-nine in the College Department. I.n the spring of '75, the building was filled to its utmost capacity. The debt resting on the institution had be-en paid off an-d the College was hnancially self-sustaining. .Thus encouraged, it was decided to follow out the original plans o-f the architect in the erection of the central portion of the College building connnenced. A hnancial depression sweeping over the coun- try, checked the enterprise and the building was left unfinished for a time. But the Faculty and board were of undaunted courage and would not yield to reverses. Provisions were made for carrying the debt until the dawn ofabetter financial day. The building was finished and the College advanced under improved facilities. ln 1876, l.'rt-siclent NVoody resigned and Win. B. Morgan succeeded him. The services of President Morgan were most valuable in securing subscriptions for the College. I-Ie was instruinental in raising several thousand dollars, thus greatly 'fs Vs Vs relieving the indebtedness. President Morgan requested be relieved from ofiice, and Benjamin F. Trueblood elected as his successor. Through the efforts of Dr. True- blood, Penn b-egan her steady advance toward the realization of higher ideals. The year 1890, the first of Pres. Rosenberger's admin- istration, was marked by the completion of the College build- ing, by the addition of the East wing. This was the gift of the people of Oskaloosa and was dedicated with appropriate ceremonies. Pres. Rosenberger's devotion to the College and his untiring efforts on h-er behalf have not been fruitless. He has seen her atte.ndance doubled, her courses of study en- riched an-d expanded and her name enrolled with the leading institutions -of the State. While material equipm-ent has scarcely ke-pt pace with the increasing demands, yet gym- nasiums, apparatus, a ch-emical laboratory with modern ap- pointments, an enlarged museum, a growing library, com- mo-dious society halls, all testify that improvements in these lines have been steadily pushed. In 1894, Major and Mrs. S. I-I. M. Byers adorned the chapel with a fine collection of paintings secured during their residence abroad. Among these are excellent copies from a number of the masterpi-ece-s of the renowned artists. The found-ers .of Pen.n College were most fortunate in their choice of lo-cation. The campus and grounds are second to none in the State, and the new tract just north of the present site is no less beautiful for situation.
