YORK COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE— Continued. The other was the total destruction of the Institute building by fire on the night of De- cember 17th. The founder ' s nephews, Messrs. George Small, W. Latimer Small and Samuel Small, at once eaine to the rescue and determined to rebuild. The York County Hospital was providentially vacant and was immediately made ready for the school, which it continued to accommodate until the new building was completed, in March, 1887. The new building, designed by J. A. Dempwolf, was dedicated on Tuesday evening, March 15, 1887. In the memorial hall, under the portrait of the founder, there is a polished brass plate with tills inscription : YORK COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. BUILT BY SAMUEL SMALL A. D. 1871. DESTROYED BY FIRE DEC. 17, 1885. REBUILT BY HIS NEPHEWS A. D. 1886. IN AFFECTIONATE MEMORY OF HIS CHARACTER AS A CHRISTIAN GENTLEMAN. The new structure occupies the same site as its predecessor; but in the new design many defects of the old building have been removed and many improvements made, which add greatly to its capacity and convenience.

Adjacent to the main building, and connected by a corridor, are the Physical and Chem- ical laboratories. ( n ( ctober 9, 1S92, the Institute was stricken with another sad loss in the death of its President, Rev. James McDougall, Ph. D., who, from its very beginning, had labored most faithfully, wisely and efficiently for its advancement. Prof. A. B. Carner, A. B., A. M., successfully filled the office of President from October 13, 1892, to June, 1S93. The following year Rev. E. T. Jeffers, D. D., of Oil City, Pa., was elected President ot the Faculty. From that time to this lie has most effectually exerted his best efforts to pro- mote the welfare of the school. Thus the school, founded in faith and prayer, has wrought faithfully and successfully for the church and the world through more than a quarter of a century. Standing, as it does, for character, high scholarship, noble manhood and womanhood, it has wielded a silent but posi- tive influence, permeating, uplifting and stimulating all who have been brought under its care. NOTE. — For the greater portion of the above article we are very much indebted to the authors of former publications of the school. 16 BL UE AND GRAY.
