President of Iowa Wesleyan College, 1908 — Historical Sketch and Alumni Record of Iowa Wesleyan College 19 17 Mount Pleasant, Iowa MT Pleasant News-Jouhnal, MT Pleasant, Iowa J^ Preface Now that this edition of the new Iowa Wesleyan Alumni Record is ready for the press, we begin to fully understand how incomplete and inaccurate the individual data in many in- stances is. We are frank to confess that when we first start- ed on the work, we had visions of making the book accurate in every detail. But we have now learned that we set for our- selves an impossible task. Some of the alumni of the early days, we fear, are lost to us forever. We have been fortunate in locating a few of the people who were marked as missing in the old record of twelve years ago, but we are afraid there will be more new names bearing that legend than were in the old book. In the preface of the first edition of this history and record, the editor, Mr. Carl S. Williams, '84, makes reference to the incomplete data concerning F. H. Burris, of the class of 1863. Just today, as we were rummaging around in a box of old papers that had been brought down from the attic to be thrown into the furnace, we found a slip of paper dated in 1906 which gives the complete history of Fernandez Holiday Burris. In another hour this record would have been lost forever. The task of the original editors of this book was a little less than Herculean. After many weary days and nights spent in an effort to bring this book up to date, assisted immeasur- ably as we were by the original volume, which "blazed the trail", we come to an adequate realization of what the first task must have been. In going over the old documents and minutes, relative to the life of the school, we have found the original history as written by Ex-President John W. Hancher, most complete and accurate. We have attempted on two previous occasions to get the book ready for publication, but each time the work was halted by the exigencies of the endowment campaign. We are work- ing on it now in the midst of several other pressing duties. Perhaps this will account for some of the errors and inaccura- cy f f\nr%€\ 6 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE cies. We wish to thank, at this time, all those who have as- sisted us so materially in this work. No one, however, has made a greater contribution of time to this work than W. H. Evans, '98, and Ben Hur Wilson, '09. Without their aid, the book could not have been printed at this time, if at all. If your own record is in error or incomplete, or that of any of your friends, or those whose memory you honor, write the facts and send them to the Librarian of the College. Don't wait, but do it now. It will be preserved and filed for future use. It is the intention to re-print this book once every ten years. In the meantime, the college will endeavor to keep all data up-to-date. Young ladies have a most discouraging way of changing their names and if they knew how difficult a little event like that makes it to discover their whereabouts, we feel certain they would notify the college immediately. The younger graduates are a roving lot. They are teaching, or preaching, or working here and there, and it is hard to lay your finger on them without their co-operation. We trust that this book will serve to unite you more strong- ly to your Alma Mater. With the future of Iowa Wesleyan assured, all the great family of the Alumni will feel their in- terest and devotion intensified. HERBERT N. JEFFREY, Editor of Alumni Record. Foreword The following is not a complete history. It does not pur- port to be. We confess to that purpose in the beginning, but the incompleteness of data, the want of full information, and the impossibility of procuring these in the time allotted, have swerved us from our purpose, and we here set down some things of accuracy and some things of uncertainty. These will doubtless meet the eyes of persons who know their uncertain- ties, and, in some instances, their inaccuracies. If such per- sons will kindly advise us, we shall feel called, after hearing from our alumni, patrons, and friends, to prepare an accurate history that shall be, in some measure at least, a complete one. We append to this sketch record of trustees, officers, ex- ecutive committees, presidents, faculties, etc., from the begin- ning. We believe them to be correct. In many instances we have been obliged to depend upon the memory of our older alumni to know whether they had degrees, and if so, what their degrees were, so that the scholastic setting may, in some instances, be erratic. For information touching any error or omission we shall be exceedingly grateful, and will pre- serve the same carefully, in the interests of future accuracy and correctness. Historical Sketch Perspective Virginia was the "Mother of Presidents." Ohio supplanted her, and held the distinguished honor, to her great credit and the profit of the nation. Many people believe that Iowa is to be the grand-daughter of Virginia in the presidential line. Be that as it may, Iowa is building, as she has been building from the beginning of territorial history, as though she might be called upon to furnish the brain and brawn, the courage and heroism, the foresight and leadership of the American republic. The counsels of her political leaders are sought at the na- tion's firesides. The influence of her religious leaders are felt everywhere, and everywhere command respect. Iowa's splen- did system of public education is in evidence in this as in all other walks of life. The value of her many colleges asserts itself in the service her sons and daughters are called upon to render to the state, the nation, and the world. The sequel is: Iowa began right. She found her inspiration in the hunger of the Pilgrim Fathers for liberty and learning, and intensified it by the reflex action from a colonial sentiment, which thanked God for freedom from the influence of school-houses and printing presses, and prayed Him to delay their coming at least one hundred years. Methodism was early in Iowa. That's a way Methodism has. Ooir Methodist forbears began upon arrival to lay plans for liberal education. In 1841, when Mt. Pleasant was but a ham- let of a few humble cottages, such men as I. I. Stewart, Peter Smith, E. Killpatrick, J. C. Hall, P. C. Tiffany, Samuel Nelson, Nelson Lathrop, John P. Grantham, and a score of others, "whose names are as ointment poured forth," in the memory of those days, were suggesting, couselling, planning, hoping, dar- ing, and. in 1842 meeting with the people en masse to discuss the relation of the hopes and future prosperity of the young territory to higher education. Of this labor of brain and heart, 8 HISTORICAL SKETCH 9 Iowa Wesleyan was brought forth, first of all the educational institutions of her grade in Iowa, and first of all such institu- tions to the country on the west of the Mississippi. The be- binnings were small. To those who are familiar only with the movements of modern colleges and universities, they seem insignificant, but they meant much to those noble and courageous men who planned so wisely, and they mean in- finitely more to Iowa's posterity because they meant so much to the men of whose love and sacrifice Iowa Wesleyan was begotten. Iowa has today seventeen colleges which are entitled to membership in the College Section of the State Educational Association, and which under that membership are called "Standard." Iowa Wesleyan is one of these, and enjoys a worthy place among her sisters. Her alumni are admitted to the professional schools of our great universities upon the records made at Wesleyan. Of the seventeen standard col- leges, five are Methodist, and Iowa Wesleyan sustains mater- nal relation to all the five. "The average annual attendance in these five schools for the past four years has been 561. The average annual attendance in all the other standard colleges, including the State University, with its professional schools, and the Agricultural College, both backed by the generous treasury of goodly Iowa, has been but little more. If the aver- age be confined to the other denominational colleges only, it is far less." What magnificent promise this vigorous young state gives to her future, and the future of the nation, through these mul- tiplied thousands of earnest young people, building into their lives the best thought, the best discovery, the best sentiment, the best hope, and the best vision of the present and the past. Already Iowa Wesleyan's sons and daughters have belted the world. They occupy positions of more or less important leadership in every walk of life. In the ministry, in pedagog- ics, ,- n journalism, in law, in Christian missions, in commerce, in manufactures, in agriculture, in mechanics, in all the ram- ifications of modern pastorial, professional, industrial and com- mercial life, Wesleyan's alumni are to be found in honored places. 10 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE It has been seventy-five years since Heustis came out to this then far western country to lay the foundations for a school of higher learning. The beginnings were small, the gifts were meager. But those early pioneers gave of their sub- stance, such as it was, gladly. From Heustis to Schell, there are seventy-five years of glorous history. To give a list of all the self-sacrificing men and women who have stood by the in- stitution in all periods of stress and storm, would be impossi- ble, within the bounds of this book. We could never give full credit. We wish that one and all of you might have enjoyed the rare privilege of looking through the old records and min- utes with us. The bare facts tell a more glowing tale of de- votion than any work of fiction. Barely had the school been organized, when a group of lads marched away to the Mexican war. What a space of time that covers. It brings to our mind, memories of Pala Alta, Reseca De La Palma and the heights of Chapultepec. Even now as we write these words, the boys are drilling again under the campus elms, prepar- ing themselves for the great struggle with Germany. What the future may hold for them, only God, in His wisdom, knows, but if it is necessary for the "sons of Wesleyan" to get into the front ranks and give up their lives, whether in America, or in far off Flanders, we know they will respond with that same high purpose that animated our b'oys of '46, '61 and '98. As we read over these old records, we discover many things that, in this later day, of our greater prosperity, doubt- less seem a bit amusing. In one place we find where the Executive Committee gave permission to the President to cut enough hay off the campus to pay the arrears in his salary. It is to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of Iowa Wesleyan, of which there is no other event of greater historical significance in the whole history of our 1 state, that we have taken up the work of publishing this record. Inaccu- rate and incomplete as it may be, if it but helps you to live over some of the sweet memories of your long-forgotten col- lege days, we will be satisfied. HISTORICAL SKETCH 11 Organization Just when this institution of learning was organized this chronicle does not purport to tell, nor does this chronicler assume to know. The original Articles of Association, where- by sundry persons associated themselves together and ef- fected an organization for Christian education, are extant, but, alas, they are without date. The earliest document of date is March 8, 1843. It presumes, allowing for the slow postal ser- vice, a first organization in 1842. Some think the prelimi- nary step took place in 1841. The next document is of record in the Henry County archives, and bears date March 11, 1843. We give the document, together with the names of the as- sociators, herewith verbatim: '»Be it known that we, the undersigned, agree and hereby enter into articles of association for the purpose of erecting a Collegiate Institute at Mt. Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa Ter- ritory. "That we hereby subscribe to the following articles to gov- ern said association: "Article First. "The association shall be known and denominated 'The Mount Pleasant Collegiate Institute.' "Article Second. "Any person may become a member of said association by subscribing for the use of said association the sum of five dollars, or more, which sum may be subscribed in money, la- bour, property, or building materials. "Article Third. "All sums of money, property, or labour subscribed, shall be faithfully applied to the erection and completion of a suit- able building designed and to be dedicated for a 'Collegiate Institute.' "Article Fourth. ''That J. C. Hall, P. C. Tiffany, Samuel Nelson, Nelson Lathrop, and Peter Smith are hereby appointed and constitu- 12 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE ted Trustees of this association, and all sums subscribed, all donations of whatever description or kind intended or design- ed for the purpose of erecting said building, are hereby trans- ferred and vested in said Trustees, to have and to hold the same in trust for the purpose of, erecting said Institute, and that said Trustees are hereby empowered and fully authorized to enter into contract with such persons as they may think proper, and do all acts necessary for the erecting said build- ing, and that said Trustees have full power for the purposes aforesaid to transfer any and all property subscribed to aid in erecting said building, assign any chose in action, and transfer any subscription that may be subscribed for the benefit or use of this association, and do all and every act that may be necessary for the purposes of carrying out the intent and object of this association. Provided, that nothing herein shall be so construed as to empower said Trustees to create any liabilities that are not by the contract to be liqui- dated by the subscription or property donated by or for the use of the association. "Article Fifth. "That said Trustee shall hold their power and appoint- ment until the first of January, 1844, and until their appoint- ments are revoked by the appointment of successors. "Article Sixth. "This institution shall be placed under the patronage and control of the Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the bounds of which it is located, said Conference, or the President thereof, having the power to appoint the professors, and a board of visitors. "Article Seventh. "Any vacancy in the Board of Trustees may be filled by the remaining Trustees. John P. Grantham. Chas. Stoddard. E. Killpatrick. Abram Johnson. S. Smith. N. Munger. A. C. Worthing.

The trustees elected by the foregoing action entered into a contract on the 8th day of March, 1843, whereby the first president and field agent began service, looking to the ac- quirement of property, the erection of suitable buildings, and other things necessary to carrying out the plans of the trustees. That first president was Rev. Artistides J. Heustis, A.B., A. M. He was an alumnus of Wilbraham Academy. He came to Mt. Pleasant after considerable correspondence and negotiation with the representatives and trustees of the association, for the specific purpose of establishing an institu- tion for higher education, under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Seme persons think that these negotiations had gone on since 1841; others that they were begun in 1842. Certain it is ,with the slow transit of mails in those times, and the apparent necessity of passing a number of letters to and fro before Mr. Huestis would have made the far journey to Iowa Territory, that, since the contract was negotiated and signed by him and the trustees as early as the 8th day of March, 1843, the organization must have had form and shape some time in 1842, if not in 1841. It remains of necessity uncertain, but we are confident that we shall yet find the information that will fix the year, if not the month and the day, when the original organization first took form and shape. The young school was named Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Insti- tute, and was chartered by an act of the legislature of the Territory of Iowa, which act was approved by the territorial governor, Lucas, March 15, 1844. While the articles of as- sociation provided for its patronage and supervision under the Methodist Episcopal Church, it does not appear that the Rock River Conference, of which southeastern Iowa was then 14 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE a part, ever mothered Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institute. The Iowa Conference was organized at Iowa City on the 14th day of August, 1844, and the trustees of the Institute sought to have the new Conference accept, govern, control, and direct their material and educational interests. At the session of the Conference in August, 1849, I. I. Stewart, Alcinous Young, Joseph McDowell, Erastus Lathrop, and D. N. Smith were ap- pointed a committee to negotiate with the trustees to the end named. On the 11th day of September, 1849, this committee, for and on behalf of the Conference, accepted the Mt. Pleas- ant Collegiate Institute, under the following form of agree- ment: "That the Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institute shall be recognized as our Conference University, and that we, as a Conference will give the above-named Institute our perpetual patronage, etc." This action was confirmed and ratified at the next regular session of the Iowa Conference, held at Fairfield, August 7, 1850. It has since been under the patronage of the Iowa Con- ference. On the third day of October, 1854, action was taken by the trustees of the Iowa Conference University which action seems to have been with the understanding and ap- proval of the Iowa Conference, whereby it was authorized that the name be changed from Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Insti- tute to Iowa Wesleyan University. Under this new name a new charter was sought from, the legislature of the state of Iowa by the supporters, patrons, and friends of the pro- posed university. This new charter changes the name, as sought in the petition, and names Palmer C. Tiffany, John P. Grantham, Nelson Lathrop, Jonathan P. Hall, Ephriam Kilpatrick, and their associates, as trustees. The charter was approved bj' the Governor on the 25th day of January. 1855. A revised charter of the institution was sought through E. L. Briggs, Anthony Robinson, Henry Ambler, and Thomas E. Corkhill, under date of September 30, 1865, and the same was filed in the office of the Secretary of State on the 4th day of October, 1869. Under this revised charter, Charles El- liott, J. R. Needham, J. H. Power, Wellington Bird, E. H. HISTORICAL SKETCH 15 Waring, David Worthington, Henry Ambler, W. F. Cowles, George Sweney, Charles Snyder, E. L. Briggs, J. R. Copelin, Thomas Audas, William Wilson, Jr., Anthony Robinson, J. B. Vernon, M. H. Hare, James Harlan, Charles Lawrence and Thomas E. Corkhill, were named as trustees. The last amendment to the charter of the Iowa Wesleyan University was adopted by the Board of Trustees June 15, 1874, and filed for record in the office of the Secretary of State Septem- ber 22, 1874. In this revised charter, G. N. Power, I. P. Teter, John Wheeler, Wellington Bird, J. I. Gilbert, I. A. Bradrick, W. F. Cowles, Henry Ambler, George Sweney, Charles Snyder, A. Robinson, E. L. Briggs, J. W. McDonald, J. T. Hackworth, John Conaway, James Harlan, E. H. Waring, T. E. Corkhill, C. L. Collins, and E. L. Penn were appointed trustees. it thus appears that the Educational Institution, now ex- tant under the name of Iowa Wesleyan College has been in continuous existence, under a single organization, but with its original name of Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institution, changed successively to Iowa Conference University in 1850; Iowa Wesleyan University in 1854 and Iowa Wesleyan Col- lege in 1911. For a number of years, the trustees had real- ized that this school was no longer doing work of a strictly university character, and had no intention of so doing in the future. So, at the annual June meeting of 1911, the name of the school was formally changed to Iowa Wes- leyan College. This was ratified by the Iowa Conference at Fairfield in September of that year. It did not, however, become the legal name until July 1, 1912. The Trustees are elected by the Iowa Annual Conference, the Board and the Alumni. They are chosen for a term of four years. The Board consists of twenty-eight members, the President of the college and the presiding bishop of the Iowa Conference who are members ex-officio. Eight members are elected each, by the Alumni and the Board, while the Iowa Conference chooses twelve. The term of office of seven members of the Board expires annually. 16 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE The Iowa Conference also elects a Board of visitors of three members, whose term of office continues three years. They co-operate with the Board of Trustees, as Advisory Council, and have the right to vote on all elections of the faculty. These visitors make annual reports to the Iowa Conference, as to the progress, condition, needs and achieve- ments of the college. Material Growth Like all institutions of its kind, Iowa Wesleyan began with- out property. At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institute, held at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, March 11, 1843, ''for the purpose of receiving propositions and pledges of donations of land for a site for the building of the Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institute," the following donations of land were pedged: First, John Jones, "four acres from the south end of his land in such form as to connect the national road and Main street;" second, J. C. Hall, "six acres from the north end of his land connecting also the national road and Main street; and in this gift he liquidates his subscription;" third, Samuel Brazelton, "five acres on the east side of Main street and directly east of the ten acres donated by Messrs. Jones and Hall, and of the same width on Main street;" fourth, Peter Smith, "(in lieu of his subscription) five acres west of the national road and directly west of the ten acres donated by Messrs. Jones and Hall, and of the same width on the national road. And in all these proposals it is contemplated that a street forty feet in width on the north and south lines be in- cluded in the donations." "The above donations are given with the express under- standing that the land is to be occupied and held for a build- ing site for the institution, and that the grant shall be ineffec- tive and void, provided same should not be for the purpose ^foresaid, and the trustees within three years from this date erect a suitable building on some part of said donation, which shall be used and forever appropriated as an institution of learning." From the above description it is evident that John Jones and J. C. Hall were the donors of the central square of land HISTORICAL SKETCH 17 known as the main campus; that Samuel Brazelton was the donor of the east campus, now occupied by the Conservatory of Music; and that Peter Smith was the donor of the west campus now occupied by Elizabeth Hershey Hall, and as an athletic field. These gifts were pledged by the gentlemen named upon condition that a suitable building for educational purposes be erected, and when the same had been done, they executed warranty deeds to the land in good faith as pledged, and the said lands have ever since been the property of this institution. With this contract executed, three days after the contract whereunder he entered upon the duties of president of the Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institute, President Huestis as chief exec- utive began the work for which he had crossed the Mississippi. He had come from the far east to found a Methodist institu- tion of learning. His task was begun, and already his hopes were seeing fruition. The association of which he was presi- dent was in the possession of twenty acres of raw prairie land, pledged in good faith. Harvard had a few books given to found a university; Huestis had twenty acres of ground pledged to found a Meth- odist institution of learning of high grade, which within a few short years thereafter was also juggling with the word Uni- versity. Learned, courageous, purposeful, faithful, this found- er of Iowa Wesleyan went heroically to his task. He served a half dozen years. Faithfully he served and well. Like col- lege presidents closing the last half of the century of which he was closing the first half, he was of necessity a man of affairs. He gave his entire time to business administration and to work in the field, securing funds and creating property. He traveled extensively in the new territory and in the then far eas:, gathering from his friends such gifts, small or very small (there seem to have been no large ones) as they were willing to contribute. He is in repute a scholar, thinker and pulpit orator of more than average ability. In the early months of his administration Iowa's pioneer college building was begun. It was enclosed and occupied in 1844, and is still in commission, having done duty first as a 18 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE school building and president's residence; later as a recitation building, and for many years as a Conservatory of Music, but in more recent years has been occupied by our Commercial School. It has been in service for seventy-three years, and though plain and unpretentious, it is still a substantial, reli- able structure. It was built of brick two stories high with ground dimensions of 28x54 feet, and then contained 9 rooms. Seven decades ago it was adequate to the needs of the insti- tution as a school building and president's residence. Mrs. I. I. Stewart, whose husband was presiding elder of a large district in the late 40's and early 50's, and had headquarters at Mt. Pleasant, states that for a time the school was conduct- ed in the building on the first floor, and both the president and presiding elder had residences on the second floor. The record books of Iowa Wesleyan from the beginning un- til now are extant and in reasonably good condition. How- ever, the difficulty of determining such questions as the dates of the first meeting and the business transacted by the first board of trustees at their earlier sittings will be apparent to every reader when we state that the first sixteen pages of the first record book are gone. The book is naturally breaking and losing its firmness, being now more than seventy years old, and these leaves have been lost. The records from 1845 to the present are fairly accurate and more or less complete. Whatever records were made have been preserved and are extant today. In 1845 Professor Johnson Pierson, A. B., A. M., alumnus of McKendrie College, was elected to the faculty of the Mt. Pleas- ant Collegiate Institute, and remained in its service until 1849. He was assisted in the school work by his wife a part if not all of the time. They who were under his tutorship say that Professor Pierson was an excellent teacher, and his influence still lives in the lives of his students. Early Wesleyan Presidents HISTORICAL SKETCH 19 rev. joseph Mcdowell President 1849-1850 REV. ALEXANDER NELSON, A. B., A. M., D. D. President 1850-1851 REV. ELIAS WILLIAMSON GRAY, A. B., A. M. President 1852, 6 months. REV. JAMES MARSHALL McDONALD, A. B., A. M. President 1852-1853 (No portrait extant.) 20 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE In 1849 President Huestis and Professor Pierson severed their connection with the Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institute, and Rev. Joseph McDowell became president on the 11th day of April of that year. Professor Lewis Dwight, A. B., A. M., took the place of Professor Pierson in the faculty, and he and President McDowell remained from the spring of 1849 until the fall of 1850. President McDowell was not a college trained man, but he was a man of courage, faith and evangelistic spirit. It is written of him that during a pastorate at Troy Circuit, Iowa, his ministry was rewarded with the conversion of 1,300 people in a single year. Like President Huestis he devoted his time to the material interests of} the school, act- ing as both president and field agent. His was an evangelis- tic administration. He lived, loyal and faithful to the minis- try of the church, until 1885, when he answered the final sum- mons, triumphant in Christian faith and battle-scarred in Christian service. Joseph McDowell having severed his connection, and Lewis Dwight having severed his connection in the fall of 1850, Rev. Alexander Nelson, A. B., A. M., D. D., became president. President Nelson was college trained and the trustees hoped in him to have a permanent president who would build and grow with the institution. He seems to have continued but a single year, when he returned to Ohio, where he served his church and his generation long and well, being respectively president of Baldwin University, and a pastor of important stations in the M. E. church. He passed on to the other side but a few years since, full of years, rich in experience, and ripe for the triumphs of Heaven. Mrs. Nelson was associated with him as a teacher during his administration. During this time and for some months prior to President Nelson's coming, Rev. R. H. Harrison had been field agent of the institution, and continued so after President Nelson's res- ignation had been accepted. At this time serious financial embarrassments arose, creating no little discusssion and, if we now judge aright from the records, some turmoil. Aggressive work in the field seems to have been suspended pending the adjustment of the troubles and the settlment of financial con- ditions and restoring of confidence. HISTORICAL SKETCH 21 In the next two years, Rev. Elias Williamson Gray, A. B., A. M., and Rev. James Marshall McDonald, A. B., A. M., were presidents. The records are not sufficiently clear to enable us to determine just what length of time each served. President Gray seems to have been the successor to Presi- dent Nelson, and after a half year of service as president he seems to have been succeeded by President McDonald, while President Gray became teacher, and in 1854 Professor of An- cient Languages and Literature, which chair he occupied until 1860. President Gray was an A. B. alumnus of Augusta Col- lege, from which he afterward took the degree of A. M. We judge from his army record that he may have been an M. D., although we know of no record of it. He responded to his country's call in the War of the Rebellion in 1862 and was mustered out at Vicksburg, April 15, 1866. During the last two years of service he held the position of assistant surgeon in the 58th Mississippi Colored Regiment. He was born at Mid- dletown, Ohio, February 20, 1821, and lived until January 31, 1896. In his later years he made permanent some of the re- sults of his careful, thoughtful life, in a book entitled "The New Religion." President McDonald was an alumnus of Indiana Asbury University. He was a brother of Rev. Dr. J. W. McDonald, long of this Conference and of Rev. A. C. McDonald, one time of 'his conference. The latter was the father of Professor Lillian McDonald, formerly a member of the faculty, and for many years a devoted servant of the church under the aus- pices of the Freedman's Aid Society in the South. us- President McDonald served but six months, when he re- signed in the spring of 1853 to take up the regular work of the pastorate. But it was not to be for long. Born in Ohio on Christmas day, 1823, graduated from Indiana Asbury Univers- ity in 1851, president of Iowa Wesleyan in 1852, entering the pastorate well equipped and with high hopes in the spring of 1853, he looked out upon the future with resolute purpose. But disease was already upon him, and in a few months death claimed him. He passed to his eternal reward Sept. 12, 1853. 22 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE His successor was James Harlan, A. M., LL. D. To name him is to tell all; and yet to occupy many times the en- cire space allotted to this sketch in his behalf were not to tell all. Sixteen years ago this writer was asked by the authori- ties of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition to name the two most prominent men in Iowa public life in the early days of the state's history. He in turn wrote twenty-five men, prominent in Iowa affairs, both state and church, asking the same ques- tion. Nearly all of them answered, and every answer named James Harlan as one. All but three placed him first. He was a valued counselor in the affairs of the nation. In 1855 he was elected a member of the United States senate, in which position he rendered continuous service to his country until 1865, when he resigned to accept the portfolio of the Interior in President Lincoln's cabinet. He continued after the assassination of President Lincoln a short time in the cab- inet of President Johnson. In 1867 he was again elected to the senate and served a full term. President Harlan seems to have entered upon his duties at Wesleyan out of love, and to have continued them always in sacrifice. No duties of state or nation were ever so exacting that he could not give some time to Wesleyan's interests. During his administration the plain old brick building in the center of the main campus was constructed. It is 45x100 feet, three stories high, and is held in memory by every degree graduate of Iowa Wesleyan from the beginning until now. The records show that the structure cost $20,000. It could not be built today for twice that money. Alexander Lee. a layman whose name has been closely identified with history- making in southeastern Iowa for more than half a century, was the contractor. Mr. Lee has been dead for some years, but his sons and daughters, active, busy and worthy in life, as was he, still keep his memory green. During the process of construction of this main hall in 1854, and when the walls were up, a heavy storm wrecked the build- ing. A part of one story was blown off, and much financial damage resulted. Mr. Lee made no complaint but addressed himself with diligence to repairing the damage, and completed HISTORICAL SKETCH 23 the structure under his contract without asking reimburse- ment for the loss. A recent test of these walls shows them to be durable, reliable and promising for 100 years to come. President Harlan, as has long been the custom of college presidents, was professor of Mental and Moral Science. When in the faculty, but not president, his chair was International Law. Succeeding President McDonald, he served from some time in 1853 — probably the spring or summer — until June 22, 1855, when he was succeeded by Rev. Lucien W. Berry, D.D., whose election occurred May 3, 1855, and who entered upon his duties immediately after the close of President Harlan's first term at the end of June of that same year. Dr. Berry was a native of Vermont, born at Alburg in 1815, and educated at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, but did not complete his course. Prior to coming to Iowa Wesley- an he had been successor to Matthew Simpson as president of Indiana Asbury University at Greencastle, and his coming was hailed with high anticipations by those who loved and sacrificed for the young university. He began to lay the foundations for large and growing work. Associated with the beginnings of President Harlan, were George C. Whitlock, A.B., A. M., Professor of Natural Philos- ophy and Chemistry, who remained from 1854 to 1864; Mrs. M. J, Kelly, A. M., who remained from 1855 to 1861; James Haynes, Miss Debby Clark, Miss Mary Weir, Lewis Bechtold, Miss C. Gibson, Miss P. J. Jenkins, Berchem Lucrode, M.S., Rev. Wesley J. Spaulding, A. M., Ph. D., Rev| Thomas Audas, A.M., Walter S. Forrtesque, M.S., Miss Maria C. Gray, Wray Beatty, M.S., Ph.D., Rev. Chas. Elliott, D.D., LL.D., Chas. G. Downey, A.M., D. N. Heffner, B.S., Miss Maria Meatty, and others. From the goodly number taken into the faculty in these brief years, all of whom seem to have continued in service until 1855 or later, it is evident that the work of college- building was begun in earnest. Sincere plans to develop the university were in the minds of these early educators and of the then trustees of the institution. Some work of university 24 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE class was done later, but Iowa W'esleyan is a college, and it has not been in the thought of its promoters in the later years to undertake anything higher than collegiate work. Condi- tions have changed; colleges have multiplied; universities with large endowments or state treasuries behind them have grown up, and the small college which confines itself to its legitimate sphere instead of undertaking university work gives evidence of justifiable wisdom. Iowa Wesleyan put out her first degree graduate in 1856 in the person of Winfield Scott Mayne, B. S. Living still, rich in experiences and fellowships, he is practicing law at Council Bluffs, Iowa. Around him as a nucleus have gathered more than 1,000 other alumni in this three-quarters of a century of history-making. Most of them are living and nearly all are liv- ing well. Some twenty per cent of them have answered the call of destiny and now are numbered among the immortals. We are admonished that our space forbids further naming all individual members of the faculty, noting their chairs, and mentioning their work We have therefore made a schedule of the "Faculty from the beginning," which will be found ap- pended to this sketch. Dr. Berry's administration was all too brief. His was a great, soul. His was an able ministry. He was under far- reaching favorable mention for the episcopacy because of his pulpit power, his literary acumen, and his administrative skill. After a little more than two years' service at Iowa Wesleyan he retired from the presidency. In 1842, the prob- able year when Iowa Wesleyan was first planned, Dr. Berry became pastor of Wesley Chapel, Indianapolis, at the early age of 27 years. Henry Ward Beecher was pastor of Second Presbyterian church in the same city. Beecher's eloquence had already given him a rapidly spreading fame. Ere young Berry had been long at Wesley Chapel, a large and growing audience sat under his ministry, and it is written that ''Honors were evenly divided" between the two young divines. Mr. Beecher's name is a household word throughout Anglo- Saxonism, and Mr. Berry's might have been had he not been HISTORICAL SKETCH 25 cut down in 1858 at the age of 42 when he had not yet reached his prime Pie died in Cincinnati and his dust rests at Indian- ape lis. At the meeting of the board of trustees, held November L'O 1857, Rev. James L, Leavitt was elected president following the lesignation of Dr. Berry, but declined to accept the position, and Rev. Charles Elliott. D.D., LL,D., was elected president at the same meeting. Dr. ElLott's service as president of Iowa Wesleyan covered two terms. The first was November 26, 1857 to June 22, 1861 and the second June 23, 1863, to September 26, 1866. In the interim between these two presidencies, during the trying days of the War of the Rebellion, he was editor of the Central Christian Advocate, St. Louis, to which position the General Conference of 1860, of which, he was a member, had elected him. He was bold, daring, aggressive, and sometimes defiant in the Union cause. He earned for himself the name o? War Editor. Charles Elliott was great as a thinker and a writer. His executive ability was good, and on pulpit and platform his was an utterance sturdy, convincing, commanding, and long to be remembered. Dr. Elliott did many good things, and some things notable. Among others was a most unusual event at the time and one important in history. Up to 1859 no woman had ever grad- uated with a Baccalaureate degree from a co-educational in- stitution. This first distinction belongs, to Lucy W. Kill- patrick whose father was one of the early trustees of Iowa Wesleyan and a supporter and promoter from its early history to the time of his death. Miss Killpatrick had been a student at Iowa Wesleyan for four years, and in 1859 she graduated with the degree of A.B. She received the usual diploma, and Dr. Elliott also gave her a Special Diploma as a fitting empha- sis of her unusual achievement. Soon after graduating she married George W. Byrkit, A.M., class of 1857, and shared with him the experiences of an itinerant Methodist preacher in the Iowa Conference. 2Q IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE The Civil War made large inroads upon the student body of Iowa Wesleyan. When the call to the defense of the coun- try and the flag came, and the student body was assured that 100 days would put down the "Impudent rebellion," the patriotic flame burned high, and many of Wesleyan's boys en- listed under the flag for 100 days, whereunder a goodly num- ber re-enlisted and served for a number of years. Those were "the days that tried men's souls." The problem of Christian education under denominational direction, always perplexing, was then especially so. Dr. Elliott found his duties as editor of the Central Chris- tian Advocate, upon which service he entered in 1860, so exacting that in June 1861 he asked to be relieved from the presidency of Wesleyan. He was succeeded by George B. Jocelyn, A. M., D. D., whose term of service was June 22, 1861, to September 10, 1862. President Jocelyn was an alumnus of Indiana Asbury. He was in repute as an orator and preacher. His brief ad- ministration of Wesleyan was characterized with the tur- moil incident to the unrest of war. He went from Wesleyan to Albion College, where he had a much longer professional career, filled with abounding and honorable service. On June 23, 1863, Charles Elliott was again elected presi- dent. He continued in the editorial chair of the Central Christian Advocate until 1864, giving to Iowa Wesleyan such time as he could command from the exacting duties of that onerous position, when he returned to Mt. Pleasant and con- tinued with Wesleyan until September 26, 1866. He was large-hearted and tender in his administration. Those who were under him say that he had but to stand on the platform at Chapel and, after some prank or mischief or wrong had been committed, say: "Boys, you have hurt my feelings," to guarantee that the offense would not be repeated. But the years were speeding; Dr. Elliott was growing old. The resolutions of appreciation spread upon the page c " of our record at a meeting of the trustees of date September 28, 1866, are full of tenderness and love. They recite his suc- cessful professional career of more than half a century; HISTORICAL SKETCH 27 rank him among the foremost editors and authors of the church and the best thinkers and writers of the age; they make him the honored instrument in establishing the first female college in Christendom, and resolve: "That it is with deepest sorrow that we bow to this dispensation of Providence which compells us to accept the resignation of our venerable and beloved friend and fellow-laborer; that the most cordial gratitude of the church is due to Dr. Elliott for the true and faithful manner in which he has fostered every trust commit- ted to his keeping and for the ablei manner in which he has performed the duties of those stations to which he has been called; that in retiring from the active duties of life we ex- tend to him our warmest sympathies and assure him of a place in our affections and our prayers." Dr. Elliott lived until 1869, when at the age of 77, his spirit came to the fruition of freedom, and his body was laid to rest in beautiful Forest Home Cemetery at Mt. Pleasant, whither not infrequent pilgrimages are made that men may pause a. moment at the tomb of Charles Elliott, whose ''name is as ointment poured forth." In the interim between the return of President Jocelyn and the active service of Dr. Elliott's second term, Wesley J. Spaulding, A. M., Ph. D., was vice-president and the act- ing executive head of the institution. Dr. Spaulding was the son-in-law of Dr. Berry. He graduated at Indiana Asbury Uni- versity in 1854. He took the chair of Greek Language and Lit- erature in Iowa Wesleyan in September, 1855, and was in continuous service until 1864, with executive official relation during the last two years of this period as stated above. Dr. Elliott's resignation was accepted September 26, 1866, and on the same day, Rev. Charles Avery Holmes, A. M., D. D., was elected president. The work of re-organization and re-construction after the sad havoc of war's influence upon the school, so well begun by Dr Elliott, was ably carried forward by President Holmes. This administration was not character- ized by unusual events. Rather was it his mission to advance every interest upon the re-organization already affected by Dr. Elliott. To this task he addressed himself with fidelity and 28 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE loyalty, and witnessed as a reward of his industry growing numbers of pupils, and graduates from year to year. It was to the credit of Iowa Wesleyan that during the war days classes of reasonable numbers had been graduated annually, as has been true every year from, 1856 to the present year, when Wesleyan sends out her 62nd successive class. The valuable and efficient services of Dr. Holmes continued to the first of January, 1869, when he severed his relation with the University and returned to Ohio, that he might de- vote himself to the pastorate. He was a devoted, earnest, God- ly man, an able scholar and preacher, and preferred the quiet and good-fellowship of a pastorate to the anxieties, perplex- ities and vexations of a college presidency. In 1869 the Hon. James Harlan took the presidency of Iowa Wesleyan, to serve for a year, when he again tendered his resignation. On the 28th of June, 1898, full of years and honors, Senator Harlan accepted the chancellorship of the university, in which position he continued until his death. Iowa W|esleyan owes more to this good man than to any other. He gave 46 years of service to the board of trustees. Many years he was a member of the executive committee. Altogether he was president three years, and chancellor sixteen months. In all these capacities his counsels were valuable, his service able, his purse generous, his sacrifice ready, and his love lavish for this old college that filled such a large place in his life. It seems eminently fitting that this noble and worthy man, whose sacrifice for this institution through forty-five continu- ous years, testified a devotion unusual and intense, should have had official connection in the evening-time of his life. Sweet of spirit, genial of disposition, interested to the last in the welfare of the humblest student registered in any de- partment of the college, this official recognition gave him pleasure and Wesleyan distinguished honor. Born in 1820, graduated from Indiana Asbury in 1845, president first in 1853, again in 1869, and chancellor in 1898-99, James Harlan left the impress of his vigorous young manhood and the bene- diction of his ripened and mellowed life at its maturity upon HISTORICAL SKETCH 29 Iowa Wesleyan University. He, too, sleeps in Forest Home, but his memory is green and his name is precious everywhere in Iowa and in many parts of our great republic. Following the resignation of Dr. Holmes, January 1, 1869, Rev. J. H. Hopkins, A.B., A.M., vice-president, was made act- ing president and served in that capacity under President Har- lan, who was then in the U S. Senate, until June 9, 1870, when the Rev. John WJieeler, A. M., D. D., was elected president. President Wheeler entered upon the duties of his office at the opening of the next school year and continued for a term of five years. He was not without college experience. He was known as the founder of Baldwin University at Eerea, Ohio, where he had acquired valuable experience. He had also been a professor of Latin at Indiana Asbury. He was a successful and valuable administrator, instructor and Christian minister. For the 15 years preceeding Dr. Wheeler's administration no realty had been acquired or buildings erected at Iowa Wesleyan. They had hoped long and prayed much. Dr. Wheeler was aggressive for results in this direction and suc- ceeded in securing the affiliation of the Mt. Pleasant German College, an institution then organized and conducted under the auspices of the German branch of the Methodist Episco- pal Church. , By the terms of the contract between the trustees of fowa Wesleyan University and the trustees of the Mt. Pleasant German College, the east campus, a tract of some five acres hereinbefore described, was bounded and defined in perpetual lease to the Mt. Pleasant German College, together with a building erected at a cost of some $16,000.00 under the direc- tion of the trustees of Iowa Wesleyan, and at the expense of its treasury. This was done on the condition that the Mt. Pleasant German College provide immediately an endowment of $20,000.00 which, with the aid of the patrons of Wesleyan who gave $8,000.00 they did, and that they maintain forever an independent treasury supporting their own faculty and the expense of operating their own plant. In the :_ promised by Senator Har- lan. The outlook for final victory seemed hopefu b re- signation of Dr. Blakeslee unsettled hopes and brought couragement, and aga : ere obliged to hold still. 48 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE After the administration of President Hancher was well begun and a new finance movement was in progress, Dr. T. J. Myers, still continuing financial secretary, which office he ably filled until September, 1902, was untiring in a service whose value is beyond measure. His intimate acquaintance with the college, his gifted understanding of and friendship for men, his splendid financial standing and his loyalty to the administration as well as to the school, made him a strong tower upon which to lean, and the new president, leaning heavily, never found him wanting. Trustees Long In Service The longest trustee record is six and forty years. This service was rendered by Hon. James Harlan, to whom proper attention has been paid in this sketch, in the notice of his presidency. Rev. Dr. W. F. Cowles, a trustee from 1855 to 1899, and for many years an officer of the board, is deserving of spec- ial and worthy mention. Every interest of his life was closely identified with W'esleyan, during all those years. Rev. Thomas E. Corkhill served as a member of the board from 1855 to 1897. He was abundant in sacrifices and gifts, according to his means. Here his children were educated, and here his love was centered. Hon. Washington I. Babb, A. B., A. M., L. L. D., of the class of 1866, has just rounded out his forty-third year of ac- tive service as a member of the board. For twenty-three years he was treasurer of the college, and for thirty-three years he was a member of the executive committee. The late George Haw, of Ottumwa, was for twenty-seven years a member of the board, and its president from 1899 un- til his resignation in 1904. Dr. Thomas J. Myers, of the class of 1865, is now serving his thirtieth year. Dr. Myers is treasurer of the college, a HISTORICAL SKETCH 49 member of the executive committee, and a man whose ad- \ lea is sought constantly. Others who have filled the office of trustee, fifteen or more years are: E. L. Penn, 29 years. W. S. Withrow, 26 years, Charles Snider. 28 years, E. W. Twining, 21 years, J. T. Hackworth, 2S years. Rev. T. S. Pool, 19 years. Carl S. Williams. 26 years, Rev. W. R. Cole, 18 years. Rev. D. C. Smith, 25 years, Rev. W. G. Wilson, 13 years. Henry Ambler, 24 years, Charles F. Carver, 18 years. Mrs. M. S. Huston, 23 years, Rev. J. A. Boatman, 17 years. Dr. Wellington Bird, 22 years. Rev. M. H. Hare, 17 years. Rev. Dr. J. C. W. Cox, 21 years. W. J. Steckel, 17 years. Rev. Dr. J. W. McMillan, 21 yrs. Rev. I. O. Kemble, 15 years. Rev. Dr. G. N. Power, 19 years. Rev. I. A. Bradrick, 15 years. Hon. Dillon H. Payne, 1G years. Rev. E. L. Briggs, 15 years. Rev. Dr. W B. Stoddard, 19 years, If anybody is not properly recognized or over-recognized in these statements, be it known that this chronicler has been diligent, far reaching in inquiry, abundant in effort, and al- most sleepless in time to find out everything — and be just to everybody. Any failure of justice to anybody will cause him more grief than it can possibly cause any other. We have written of the material and educational develop- ment of W T esleyan by administrations from Huestis to Schell. Many important facts have not been stated, and should we write all we know or have heard there would still remain important data unmentioned. The simple listing of the names of the trustees from the beginning, without other mention, requires pages of this book. To discuss trustees, visitors, agents, secretaries, donors, patrons, and make worthy men- tion of all would of itself require volumes. Faculty Members Long In Service Three members of the faculty not including Dean A. Rom- mel of the Conservatory of Music, whose forty years of be- 50 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE loved service have been fittingly mentioned in this record, have served sufficiently long in the college that some special mention of their merit and their unexcelled work should not be omitted. Any college faculty is fortunate to have among its ranks, three such pre-eminent teachers as Professors Booth, Edwards and Eaton. Dr. Lucy A. Booth, Ph. D., came to Iowa Wesleyan in February, 1897, preceding Professors Edwards and Eaton almost an entire year, thereby ranking as senior member of the College Faculty, aside from Dr. Rommel of the Conservatory of Music. She was elected a member of Phi Beta Kappa from her class, and this will indicate her scholarship during undergraduate days. She studied for her Doctor's degree at Ohio State University, and is accounted there, as here, one of the most engaging and thorough scholars in the field of History that the country affords. The research method which she has always adhered to, has produced some rather superior work by various students of her classes, and enhanced the college reputation among scholars the state over. She is a member of the Rambler's Club, and has assist- ed several years in arranging courses for that select group of women, that has given the club high literary standing. Re- cently she spent the summer vacation and some weeks of the autumn in travel abroad, and came home to enrich the ses- sions of the University Club and the Rambler's Club as well, with critical and recitative discourses very helpful to those who have been permitted to hear them. Professor John W. Edwards, a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan, came to Iowa Wesleyan in 1898. He had previously obtained his Master's degree from Tufts college. Professor Edwards has added to his fine work in Chemistry and Physics, in both of which he is an acknowledged authority, several outside activities. He served as Grand Commander of the Knights Templars for Iowa; and for two terms on the City Council of Mount Pleasant, and also on the School Board. His analyt- ical chemistry work in several liquor cases, and his popular- ity among the citizens has endeared him to the entire com- munity as well as to the student body of the college. He is HISTORICAL SKETCH 51 a member of the Iowa School of Science, and a reliable mem- ber of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Professor Arthur L. Eaton, a member of Beta Theta Pi, is rather reserved in his life, and devoted to the church and stu- dent work. He began in the college in 1898 as head of the Latin department, but lately has had the Greek also in charge. With the rapid turn to Spanish on the part of incoming stu- dents, he took up the study of that language and has brought to the instruction in the language his superb pedagogical training. He has been for several years a student in the sum- mer school of Chicago University, and is an authority on all matters of language. Upon the election of Dr. Lymer as Dean, in 1909. he was appointed by President Schell as Registrar. He is one of the great teachers of Iowa. The Diamond Jubilee Half Million History has not always been kind to Iowa Wesleyan. In looking back through the long reach of the years, it would almost seem as if the college had not received its just propor- tion of the material blessings that go to make up an insti- tution of higher learning. We can pick out several decades when there was almost no financial gain. This is not, how- ever difficult of explanation for those who have followed the story of Iowa Wesleyan from the beginning. For years the future of the institution has been clouded by indebtedness and inadequate financial resources. Only the loyalty and abiding faith and the promise of a few friends imbued with the vision of a great constituency in a great territory the "Garden Spot of Iowa", kept the institution alive. The months between Sep- tember 1916 and January 1, 1917 will long be remembered. They were the critical days. History gave us more then than in all the seventy three years preceding. For two months, Iowa Wesleyan as a Mount Pleasant institution, in the home of its traditions and its history, seemed likely to become a thing of the past. Merger with some other school, or an up- rooting to another locality appeared to be the only solution to the difficulty. Finally after all of these opportunities had been sifted out, driven on by the spur of necessity, the college lift- 52 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE ed its horizon, made its appeal to the people, and the half million of which we write, insuring perpetuity for years to come, was the glorious response. It seems peculiarly fitting that the history of this great endeavor, with results far in excess of the dreams of the most optimistic supporters of the institution a few brief months ago, should be permanently set down in more or less detail. When the Carnegie and 70th Year Funds aggregating $200,000 were raised, the Board well realized that this sum was altogether inadequate for a modern college. But a com- paign directly following these two endeavors for still larger sums seemed scarcely feasible. The University Senate of the Methodist Church decreed that a college to be ranked as "Standard" must have $200,000 of productive endowment over and above all debts and sums upon annuity. January 1, 1916, was set as the date for all schools to comply with this require- ment or be demoted. Under this pressure, for Iowa Wesleyan could not comply with the requirements, the Trustees and friends of the institution began to cast around for some way out of the difficulty. At the annual Conference held in Cen- terville in September, 1915, a proposition came from Parsons College of Fairfield, Iowa, for the union of Parsons, Simpson and Iowa Wesleyan under the name "Iowa Union College". The Union College to be located at either Mount Pleasant, Fairfield or Indianola as deemed most advisable. Control was to be vested in a Board of Trustees elected by the two Meth- odist Conferences, the Iowa Synod of the Presbyterian church and the Trustees of the colleges. The Board was to be self perpetuating as regards 60 per cent of its membership — Twenty-five per cent of this initial membership to come from each Simpson and Wesleyan and 50 per cent from Parsons. The remaining 40 per cent to be pro- portioned to the two Methodist Conferences and the Iowa Synod. A committee of five was appointed by the Iowa Conference consisting of Edwin A. Schell, U. S. Smith, C. L. Tennant, Hugh A. Cole, and Horace M. Havner. This committee was HISTORICAL SKETCH 53 11 authority to act with like committees from Simpson and tais. and in the advent of the Des Moines Conference not appointing a committee, with the one from Parsons for a union of the two schools. Simpson College and the Des Moines Conference never accepted the proposal and no com- mittee was appointed. The two committees met but it was soon apparent that no equitable basis of union could be agreed upon. It was how- ever determined that there was a "distinct field in this sec- tion of Iowa for one College only". A special meeting of the Board of Trustees was called for October 27th to consider the report of the Committee of Five. At this time rumors of a transfer of the College began to make themselves heard. A special meeting of the Board was called for November 11, 1915. At this time a Committee from the Ottumwa Commercial Club invited the Trustees to trans- fer the college to Ottumwa. The following resolutions were passed: "That we urge the commission to give due consideration to any definite proposals that may be made and report the same to the Board. "That we appoint the Commission as raised by the Iowa Conference (Edwin A. Schell, Hugh A. Cole, H. M. Havner, U. S. Smith, C. L. Tennant) as our committee. The proposal from Ottumwa never reached definite terms financially. The committee met several times with the Ot- tumwa Commercial Club. An effort was also made to induce Parsons College to consider a joint union with Wesleyan at Ottumwa. Finally in December the Committee of Five, deem- ing that it was useless to further prolong negotiations w r ith either Parsons or Ottumwa made a proposal to the Mount Pleasant Commercial Club that if Henry county would raise $100,000 by January 27, that the school would be continued permanently here, and that within a period of three years the Iowa Conference would add an additional $150,000. The Com- mercial Club accepted the proposal of the Committee. The 54 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE date for the launching of the campaign was set for January 1, 1916. After all efforts to secure expert outside assistance had failed, a local committee was appointed of which Adam Weir was chairman. The Henry County campaign will long be remembered. When it was inaugurated there were not a half dozen men who dreamed that it could be successful. Big gifts that were hoped for did not materialize. The people felt that the task was too great. But the Committee threw themselves into the task with a dauntless courage. Progress was slow. Two days before the closing hour, with every prospect canvassed, there was a shortage of thirty thousand dollars. The women of the Iowa Wesleyan Guild, then organized and for two days of bitter weather canvassed every home in the city. Inspired and enthused by their devotion the campaign took new life and one hour before the closing time on the night of January 28, 1916, the goal was reached, with a considerable margin to the good. This exhibition of loyalty and sacrificial -giving fired the Iowa Conference and friends of the school with enthusiasm. The Board of Trustees met February 16, and ratified the action of the Committee of Five, and resolved to ask the Iowa Conference for $300,000 instead of $150,000 making a total of $400,000. On February 17, the Iowa Conference met in spe- cial session at Ottumwa, and amidst the greatest enthusiasm ratified the Conference program for $300,000. In the after- noon the Henry County delegation proposed to raise $50,000 additional if the Conference would raise $350,000, making a grand total of $500,000. This motion was passed unanimously. "Kick-Off Sunday" or "Launching Day" was set for March 12th. Bishop Bristol was selected as the Campaign Chairman, T. J. Myers, Treasurer, Thomas Osborn, Secretary, E. E. Lymer, Auditor, and Herbert N. Jeffey, Publicity Manager. Assisted by a great concourse of Bishops, College presidents, educators, ministers and laymen, the campaign was presented to the congregations of the Iowa Conference on Sunday, March 12th. HISTORICAL SKETCH 55 The Central office was maintained at Mount Pleasant and the Conference organized around the District Superintendents. I'nder the Superintendents were the group chairmen and the final units were the separate pastoral charges. Literally thousands of pieces of mail matter were sent out from the central office educating and informing the people of the pur- pose and the progress of the campaign. The original closing date was set for April 25th. But as Gleaning Sunday fell on Easter the date was moved up one week. The campaign came up to Gleaning Sunday approxi- mately $160,000 short of the total amount. However the cam- paign cammittee was confident that this sum would be forth- coming, when the matter was presented in all the churches of the Conference, on "Gleaning Sunday." But "Gleaning Sunday" was a failure owing to a torrential rain, general over the entire Conference which ceased not throughout the day. In many charges no services were held at ali. Owing to the proximity of General Conference the ac- tive campaign work was closed down during the month of May. The Publicity office was kept open and the organization continued intact. The campaign was re-opened on June 10, and closed June 25. At the closing hour there was a shortage of $50,000 which was underwritten by the Mount Pleasant Commercial Club. This sum was later raised by means of a "still hunt campaign" under the leadership of President Schell. It w r ould be impossible in this sketch which has already grown too long to give due credit to all the loyal friends who gave of their time and their counsel and their substance in this titanic endeavor. The inestimable services of Dr. John W. Hancher, representing the Board of Education, has been referred to elsewhere. Only those who were with him at the desks from early morning until long after midnight, for thirty consecutive nights know how he gave of his time, strength and energy. The Campaign could not have been successful without President Schell. The cumulative results of his eight years of service told in this supreme crisis. His w r ork was brilliant. 56 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE With a nervous energy that was tireless he went the length and breadth of the Conference looking for the larger sub- scriptions. For days at a time he would not be near the office, but a string of telegrams carrying cheer in large figures ap- praised the central desk of his whereabouts. Practically un- aided President Schell turned in subscriptions aggregating roundly $128,000. This does not include the part that he play- ed in other gifts. The devotion of such long tried friends of the college as Hugh A. Cole, Carl S. Williams, Chris Haw, Gardner Cowles, T. J. Myers, P. M. Musser, W. J. Steckel, G. T. Pulliam, A. Weir, H. C. Weir, R. W. Moore, the District Superintendents, the pastors, the laymen, the alumni, and a thousand others, will never be forgotten. The biggest thing about the Jubilee Campaign was not the money raised, and we do not underestimate that feature, but bigger than mere money, bigger than a great endowment, big- ger than an adequate income, is friendship. All of these things depend upon that, and the Diamond Jubilee closed with friends added by the thousands. The work is not completed. There will be other campaigns; new buildings and equipment are urgently needed, but all this will come now. Our perpe- tuity and our usefulness are guaranteed. Ladies' College Organ Association This association was organized October, 1892 with the following officers: President, Mrs. C. L. Stafford. Recording Secretary, Mrs. Lydia Siberts. Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Alice Taylor. Treasurer, Mrs. H. T. Bird. These ladies were very energetic and persevering for many years and by entertainments, dues and donations from time to time, raised more than two thousand dollars. Then Mr. J. D. Smith left a legacy of one thousand dollars to the HISTORICAL SKETCH 57 association. With a number of smaller donations they In- creased their fund until in the spring of 1915 the ladies were enabled to pay the entire cost of installation and rebuilding of one of the best pipe organs installed in any public building in the state of Iowa. It was the object of the Association from its inception to place in the Chapel Auditorium an organ which as to both size and quality would be in keeping with the dignity of the build- ing which it was to grace, and to their steadfastness of pur- pose through all the years which they labored and struggled to collect a fund adequate for the object which they had un- dertaken, the college owes an eternal debt of gratitude. Many times were they prevailed upon,, almost under pressure, to allow their accumulation to be used to install an organ, inferior both as to size and quality, to the ideal which they had set for their attainment. Dr. Rommel's opin- ion however was, that no organ at all, was better than one which would in any way detract from the splendid Chapel Auditorium in which it was to be placed. Wiser council always prevailed and the ladies kept their money out on in- terest and bided their time. Prospects for an organ in this generation indeed looked dark, until like a pleasant dream came the announcement of the splendid gift from the St. James Church. It is doubtful if this gift could have been realized upon, had it not been for the foresight of and ready money in the hands of the ladies; for to remove, box, crate and ship the parts of this mammoth instrument, and then re- assemble it in the chapel upon its arrival, rebuilding and re- arranging, some parts also being necessary, would require between $2,500.00 and $3,000.00. The ladies upon hearing of the proposition immediately realized that the time for which they had looked forward to and longed for was now at hand. Their ready co-operation and financial assistance thus en- abled the college to take advantage of an opportunity to secure an organ which for sweetness of tone, size, adaptability and registration is equalled by few, if any organ used for similar purpose in the State of Iowa. ine dedicatory recital given m April 1915 at the College chapel upon the completion of the organ drew a large and ap- preciative audience. All honor to the loyal public spirited women who so patiently wrought and reached their goal, of whom were Miss Mary I. Snyder, Mrs. Alice L. Taylor, Mrs. Belle R. Leech, Mrs. Amelia Penn, Mrs. Florence McKibbin, Mrs. Walter E. Keeler, Mrs. C. S. Rogers, Miss Ida Van Hon Mrs. Abbie E. Crane and many others whose names are not on record. The association rests from its labors, but its voice of melody will long be heard, inspiring responsive chords of harmony in the soul of the present student body as well as in that of generations yet unborn. The Woman's Guild of Iowa Wesleyan College In June 1899, Mrs. Lavanda Gassner Murphy presented a plan for enlisting the women of the Iowa Conference in work for the College, to the Board of Trustees and also to the Executive Committee, in which they heartily concurred. Pur- suant to the plan, October 2, 1899 the Woman's Guild of the Iowa Wesleyan College was organized in Elizabeth Hershey Hall, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. The following were the charter members: Mrs. Charles C. McCabe, (wife of Bishop McCabe). Mrs. Lavanda Gassner Murphy. Mrs. Julia Baldwin McKibbin. Mrs. Lillian Kendig Rogers. Miss Ella Penn. The officers elected for 1899-1900 were: President, Mrs. Lavanda Gassner Murphy, West Liberty, Iowa, First Vice President, Mrs. M. B. Huston, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa Second Vice President, Mrs. J. W. Stark, Keokuk, Iowa. Third Vice President, Mrs. J. E. Newsom, Wellman, Iowa. Fourth Vice President, Mrs. W. G. Wilson, Grinnell, Iowa. Fifth Vice President, Mrs. Chris Haw, Ottumwa, Iowa. Corresponding and Field Secretary, Mrs. Julia B. McKib- bin, Keosauqua, Iowa. Recording Secretary, Mrs. C. S. Rogers, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Treasurer, Mrs. Walter E. Keeler, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Resident Board of Managers: Mrs. F. D. Blakeslee Miss Ella Penn X. H. Ambler Miss Mary I. Snyder Mrs. T. J. Myers Professor Lucy Booth Miss Martha McClure. The first work of the Guild was to assist in the debt raising campaign which was undertaken during President J. W* Handler's administration and to help in the enlarge- ment of the College endowment. Over five thousand dollars was raised and paid to the treasurer of the College. In the last campaign for endowment the ladies of the Guild gave more than three thousand dollars in pledges for the fund and in addition to this, valuable service of time and encouragement which tided the Mt. Pleasant Campaign through a crisis at the darkest hour of the undertaking, and thus assisted nobly in bringing the enterprise through to an ultimate success. Further details concerning the helpful- ness of the Guild in this movement are noted in the narrative of the "Diamond Jubilee Endowment Effort." The personnel of the officers remained nearly the same from 1900 to 1915. Mrs. Murphy has served as president all these years. After paying all obligations, in June 1915, "The Guild" was re-organized on a broader basis, when every woman in the City, County and Iowa Conference was cordially invited to become members. One hundred and fifty women gave their names and much enthusiasm was aroused throughout the Conference, during the campaign for endowment. The work assumed for the year 1915-16 was to assist in keeping the li- brary up to the required standard, which was again taken as its work for 1916-17. The officers for 1916-17 are: President, Mrs. Lavanda Gassner Murphy. First Vice President, Mrs. Adam Weir. Second Vice President, Mrs. R. S. Galer. Third Vice President, Mrs. Will Dyall. Fourth Vice President, Miss Mary Guss. Fifth Vice President, Mrs. Dennis Morony. Sixth Vice President, Miss Ida Van Hon. Seventh Vice President, Mrs. Charles Swanson. Eighth Vice President, Mrs. Geneva Harshbarger. Recording Secretary, Mrs. Lulu Ingersoll. Treasurer, Miss Barbara R. Fouche. Resident Board of Managers: Mrs. E. A. Schell Mrs. C. S. Rogers Mrs. E. E. Lymer Miss Ella Penn Mrs. M. B. Huston Miss Mary I. Snyder Miss Nellie Wallbank Standing Committees: Finance — Miss Barbara R. Fouche, Miss Nellie Wallbank, Mrs. H. Wade Gillis, Mrs. W. F. Kopp and Mrs. V. D. Morris. Membership — Mrs. Ben Hur Wilson, Mrs. J. J. Pitcher, Mrs. Eliza Palmer, Mrs. H. G. Leist and Mrs. Warren Rogers. Library — Dr. Lucy Booth, Mrs. W. D. Worthington, Mrs. M. B. Huston, Mrs. F. B. Crane, and Mrs. John W. Palm. Social — Mrs. W. H. Evans, Mrs. Adam Weir, Mrs. C. F. Ap- plegate, Mrs. George P. McKibbin and Mrs. Jas. T. Whiting. Surely with the co-operation of the intelligent, loyal women of the City, County and Iowa Conference, the Woman's Guild of the College will have a magnificent future. The Alumnal Association I la probable that the early history of the Alumnal Assoc- iation is lost for ever. The records in the hands of the officers go back but a few years, the books having been lost, or in the hands of some one unknown. The annual catalogue, however, helps out somewhat, giving the names of the officers of the association as far back as 1897. or twenty years ago, but back of that there are no records whatever, as to the organization. It is evident, however, that there was such an organization, for as far back as 1878 reference is made in the yearly cata- logue of the "annual reception and banquet of the alumni," and some of the older resident members state that in those days there was annually elected a staff of officers, and that the annual banquet was not only a flow of soul, but a genuine feast of reason. However, it has been impossible to secure even a tentative list of officers prior to 1878 and it is doubt- ful if one can be secured at this time. For many years the organization of the alumni was a perfunctory matter to be gone through with at the annual meeting, when a handful of them would gather, to elect offi- cers, collect enough dues to pay the accumulated bills, and let it go at that. Since, however, the association has been called upon to take an active part in the management of the school. by reason of electing every year two members of the Board of Trustees, there has been much more interest in the organi- zation. Then again, the records have been put in permanent condition. System has been introduced, card systems estab- lished and the collection of dues has resulted in a treasury with a balance continually on the right side and funds at hand to take care of the nominal expenses of the work of the association. The alumni association is now undertaking to keep in constant touch with every member of the alumni of the school from the time he graduates until his activities are over, to keep the interest of the alumni constantly keen, to keep the "Old Grad" at all times informed of his "Alma Mater," and keep alive the affection of student for the old college halls. 62 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE It is now recognized and was emphasized during the recent successful campaign for a half million dollars that a great mis- take had been made in permitting the old students to drift away from the college, and to arouse the old affection for the school, to reawaken the old memories of hall and campus is now the definite purpose and work of the association. Dur- ing the great campaign it was found that the whereabouts of many of the alumni was not known and, in too many cases it was found that the former students had been away so long and had heard from the old school so seldom that vital inter- est had well nigh died out, and appeals for financial assist- ance fell on ears that would not hear. The following are the officers of the Association as far back as the records show. PRESIDENTS. A. M. Antrobus 1897 Mrs. W. E. Keeler 1898 John F. Riggs 1899-1900 Miss Ella Penn 1901 John F.

It is plain, however, that the original nucleus, what- ever it may have been, around which the now splendid col- lection has been built, was quite small. Mrs. M. J. Kelly who was the professor of Natural Science from 1855 to 1861, served also as curator of the museum. Due to her skill in taxidermy, a number of mammals, and birds were mounted and made a part of the collection. Whether or not this marks the beginning of the museum, the collection first attained such dimensions as to interest the students, under the care of this talented woman. It was housed in those days in the Main building in the small room at the head of the stairs on the second floor, being the room now used as the Croaker office. At another time it was kept on the first floor in the northeast room now oc- cupied by the Art Department . As the museum grew it came to require more space than could then be afforded it on the campus. It was according- ly placed down town and occupied up stairs rooms in one of the business buildings on the north side of the square and at another time on the east side of the square. When the present Chapel building was completed, the old chapel room, comprising the entire east end of the third floor of the Main building, became available for the museum. In 68 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE recent years this room has been devoted entirely to' the natural history division and the small room adjoining at the west has been fitted up to display the relics and Ethnological specimens. It is there that the visitor today goes to view the museum. After the Civil war a number of war relics were contributed from various sources, while through the influence of Senator Harlan, several pieces of interest and value came from the government. Space will not permit the mentioning of all who have added their part to the collection for many of the friends of the school have given articles of interest. How- ever, two contributors should have especial mention: One is Dr. J. M. Schaffer of Keokuk, who has presented many valu- able mounted specimens of birds and mammals. In fact a very large part of the entire museum is the contribution of that globe trotter and ardent naturalist. The other is Mr. Charles Buettner? of Burlington. In his travels Mr. Buettner visited almost every accessible corner of the globe. With eyes wide open to everything of interest, he got away from the travel-worn paths and saw things not found by the tourist of usual type. Some little idea of the scope of his work may be had in the fact that it took four railroad cars to hold his contributions to the museum. But his collection ranks higher in value than in bulk. The specimens have been well col- lected and uniquely mounted. Many of these represent rare forms, while several species now extinct are thus preserved to future generations. The size, scope and educational value of Wesleyan's mus- eum is appreciated by only a few. In the relic room are found treasures relating to the history of our own and other countries and utensils, implements of warfare, and other articles of human interest that offer opportunity for hours of thoughtful study. In the natural science collection the fields of Mineralogy, Geology, Paleontology and Zoology are well represented. Aside from the splendid herbarium containing specimens of over eight hundred species of the flowering plants of Henry county, collected and presented to the Col- lege by Mr. Henry Mills, '70, the botanical division is poorly HISTORICAL SKETCH 69 represented and should receive more attention. On the other hand the Zoological division exceeds all the others combined in numbers of specimens. Most of the classes of animals are represented, but the birds are best represented of all. This collection of birds is probably the most complete one in the middle west. The museum is opened without charge to all visitors and every year many avail themselves of the opportunity to look it over. It is of especial value to the natural science classes of the college and to the public schools who visit it from time to time. Alumni and friends of the college can aid materially in building a still greater museum by contributing relics and natural history specimens that they may be able to locate. Mounted specimens or the properly preserved skins of birds, reptiles and mammals, specimens of insects, fossil remains, botanical specimens, Indian relics, old or foreign articles of interest, are all especially desirable. It is hoped that with the coming of the new Library and Science buildings the museum may be displayed in the cor- ridors where it will be more accessible to the public and of greater educational value to the students. This is especially to be desired if the new building is fire proof, for, as it is now situated, the museum which is said by some, who are competent to judge, to be of greater value than the entire physical plant of the college, (or at least could not be replaced for this amount), is subject to the hazard of fire, being located in an almost inaccessible part of the Main building. Should this building ever be destroyed, the Museum would suffer greatly, if indeed, it were not a total loss. College Student Organizations Student activities of an organized character have been present in and carried on by the student body of Iowa Wes- leyan almost from the inception of the school. 70 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE As the grim Reaper reaches out and brings to a close, one by one with ever increasing rapidity, the lives of those who have been with us since the beginning, it is important, at this time, that many things, which may to some seem to be of a purely trivial nature, be set down with whatever accuracies they may be gathered, in order that future generations may know the truth, and that history be kept straight upon these items, which we believe will come to be looked upon with growing interest as the years go by. When this book is again published, the Alumni of another decade will be at the helm, and many of our older Graduates will have passed into the Great Beyond. With them will die many valuable and irrecoverable facts concerning the early history of the school, and particularly those details concern- ing which the greater part of this sketch is made up. The search necessary for the production of this portion of the history of Iowa Wesleyan College has brought to light many important and striking facts. None, however, impress- es the writer more than the appalling vagueness of the idea with which the average student or alumnus is possessed with reference to the beginning of those activities and traditions in which he, at the time, may be vitally interested. Many seem to take it for granted that these activities simply exist, and few there be, who even so much as give a thought as to why they exist, or what combination of circumstances created a demand that caused these various organizations to spring forth. Persistency of purpose has kept them alive throughout all of the years of their existence, and thus they played an important part in the development and rounding out of the lives of those who have enjoyed their privileges and advan- tages. In the history of these organizations, Wesleyan has that which money cannot buy, and influence cannot obtain. Noble tradition, which lives in the lives of the Alumni from the time of their graduation, until they reach their grave, set- ting for them a standard and an ideal by which they may guide and true their existence, is an asset which wealth HISTORICAL SKETCH 71 cannot produce, but which must be developed by slow and tedious evolution, throughout the period of many, many years as they come and go. In this tradition, Wesleyan is peculiarly rich. Of glorious history, Wesleyan has an abundant supply, and few there be who search its sacred page who can not detect the Hand of the Infinite working in and out, sometimes seemingly cruel, sometimes chaotic, but nevertheless weaving a fabric, which is inexpressibly wonderful and which will grow in beauty to the retrospective view of generations of students yet to come. It is a rare moment in the writer's life when he comes in contact with one of those dear, old Alumni who has treas- ured many valuable and precious facts in his heart, and who can give one some "real" information concerning the origin of those activities which most of us accept as a matter of fact, never raising the question from whence they come, why, when, and to what purpose they exist. Student activities have always been divided into four groups, intellectual, spiritual, physical and social. Each in its sphere has played an important part in the lives of many students, for few there are who have studied in Wesleyan's classic halls, but whose lives have been influenced by one or more of these various interests, and many there are who have been active in all of them. Under the intellectual group, comes the Literary Societies, Forensic League, and Honorary Fraternities. The Musical activities of the student body, as well as the Student Publi- cations, all of which are now or have at some time or other been carried on with well defined organizations, may also be classed under this heading. Under the Spiritual will be found the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., and the Gospel Teams; under the Physical comes foot ball, basket ball, base ball, track work and tennis. The Athletic group is the least sus- ceptible of treatment in a sketch of this kind and while these sports may seem to be interests of the first magnitude while 72 IOWA W^SLEYAN COLLEGE the student is in college, they soon after graduation become insignificant in character as compared with the activities of the broader fields, where the development of the mind, the spirit, and the sociabilities are involved. While each of these diversions may have its devotees and enthusiasts, we cannot take the space at this time to give an exhaustive sketch of the various branches of College Athletic activities. The Social Group is composed of the Greek Letter Frater- nities, of which there are now seven in Iowa Wesleyan, three for boys and four for girls. In order to hold this writing close to the subject, which is very necessary owing to the space allotted in the book and as there are so many side lights, and illuminating narratives which, though not strictly history, would be highly interest- ing to all, we are compelled to refrain from the use of any of these and to treat the subject by topics, according to the fol- lowing outline. We believe the subject matter following the outline covers the ground pretty thoroughly, except for the subject of Athletics, further discussion of which, as above stated, will not be attempted.

During the years immediately preceding the Civil War when disorganization seemed the order of the day, a few young men of sturdy intellect and determination purported to turn their attention to organization in Iowa Wesleyan Uni- versity. Literary Societies were unknown in colleges or universi- ties west of the Mississippi, but Senator James Harlan, then president of Wesleyan, suggested and materially aided the boys of the university in organizing the pioneer literary so- ciety of Iowa Wesleyan and also of Iowa, the following stu- dents being charter members: Winfield S. Mayne, '56. A. H. Murphy, John Ballard, '57. John Haynes, E. T. Coiner, '57. James Haynes. G. W. Byrkit, '57. A. S. Bailey. J. W. McDonald, '58. J. B. Wilson. G. W Gray, '58. Chas A. Whittaker, Mason Bayles, '59. George W. Manly. George B. Corkhill, '59. John Muldoon. Many of them became men of great achievements. The charter was granted February 22, 1855 and through sixty-two years of stress and war, and peace with unlimited prosperity to our nation, Hamline has sent forth men prepared for their places in the world's activities, men who now are our ideals in our present forensic activities. Today Hamline has a record, the like of which few literary societies can boast, having won several state oratorical con- tests and furnished many of Wesleyan's successful debaters. The present membership is made up of some thirty young men ranking high in the various departments of the college and her alumni may be found in many places filling positions of influence reflecting credit upon themselves, their society and their Alma Mater. HISTORICAL SKETCH 75 RUTHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY Organized 1856. Motto: "Sic Iter, ad astra." Every new movement encounters opposition as well as favor, and many arguments, some amusing, some futile and others difficult to overcome are presented for and against it, and the attempt to found a literary society for girls at I. W. C. was no exception to the general rule, for as yet the new and modern woman had not appeared. The mothers had primitive ideas of what girls should learn and feared that a literary society would make them masculine in their actions, so Senator Harlan and his efficient helper, Mrs. Professor Kelley, Ph. D., had to labor earnestly with the mothers to secure their consent to such an innova- tion as their daughters joining a literary society. In 1855 the first girls' society was organized by President Harlan, and Mrs. Kelley, bearing the name "Cornelian", their badge being a Cornelian ring, one of which each member possessed. They were organized in an upper room of the old Pioneer building. After the main hall was erected and before it was plaster- ed, they occupied the southwest room on the second floor. This was always called "Ruthean Hall" until in more recent years, when they have occupied "Hamline Hall." The first constitution was written by President Harlan. There were twenty-one charter members as follows: Lucy Kilpatrick-Byrkit, Sarah Kilpatrick-Woods Roxie Strawn-Pugh, '60. Tillie \Vhite-Broadhead, Fontanella Nervel-Swan. Emily Porter-McClure. Mary Young-Coiner. Allie Young-Brown. Addie Kauffman-Fov.i. Martha Kaufman-Bronson Kate Kaufman-Marquart. 59. Carrie Wood-Murphy. 'GO. Mary Payne-Hildreth. Jennie Payne-Heckendorn. '63. Carrie White-Bingle. Mary Kilpatrick-Templin. Laura Berry-Winslow. Sarah Whitlock. Edith Candy. Martha Linn-Knechen. Irene Grantham-Ballard. 76 IOWIA WESLEYAN COLLEGE Of these ladies the following still are living to recall the olden days for us: Mesdames Byrkit, Woods, Pugh, Swan McClure, Coiner, Fowl, Bronson, Templin, Knechen, Ballard. The young society did not sail on smooth seas, and the dissension became so great that in the first year some severed their relations with the Cornelian; calling themselves "Calliopeans." In the following year, 1856, the disbanded Calliopeans were reorganized by Fresident Berry and the two organiza- tions were merged into "The Ruthonian" afterwards called the "Ruthean," taking the original constitution of the Cor- nelian society. Their programs consisted of essays, orations, reviews of books, "Ruthean Gleaner," the newspaper, and debates, their first debate being on the subject "Whether women should speak in public or not." Mrs. Nellie Swan on the affirmative and Mrs. Lucy Byrkit on the negative side. The original manuscripts are in the hands of their authors and might be interesting reading to the girls of today. With somewhat varied success the Ruthean Society has continued its way until now — having since 1890 a sister soc- iety, Hypatia, with whom, to share the loyalty and affection of the girls. A number of books are in the college library which were given by the society and bear its name. For many years, every three months open sessions were held, and in commencement week the graduates from the college who were "Rutheans" received a diploma of gradua- tion from the society in a public exhibition. Here we learned something of "Roberts' Parliamentary Rules," to think and speak qiuickly on different subjects, and to overcome the timidity which Was so prevalent in early years among the girl students. The present enrollment is sixty and the Ruthean girls of today emulate the example of those who have preceded them, HISTORICAL SKETCH 77 in achieving gTeat and noble deeds in foreign lands as well as in our own country, and aiding in the mental and moral uplift of women. "Thus they journey to the Star." ATHENIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. Organized, 1874. The life and history of Athenian Literary Society was brief and can best be narrated in an excerpt from a letter from one who was a member of the ill-starred organization. Although the letter was not written for publication, it describes with accuracy the circumstances surrounding the organization as well as the fate of this society, and reads as follows: "I will tell you what I can of the experiment of having a literary society admitting both ladies and gentlemen in our beloved Wesleyan: "About the first of the year 1874, the Faculty decided that it would be a good thing for the world and other colleges, as well as our own, to set an example of such a literary soc- iety. They (the faculty) selected the members they wished to have organize it, without any of us asking to be admitted, at least, at first. There were six of us Seniors — I think Lizzie Davidson was the first president. Of Juniors I can remember two, about twenty in all. A few from each class and each literary society, but not enough from any to weaken it. We had a fine earnest high grade society, the experiment was a success — We all did our best to show the faculty that they had not misplaced their faith in us. Such was our be- lief at the time and mine now after forty-three years have passed. But the other societies were so angry at us and the faculty — that it was considered wise to drop or disband It. And through no fault of ours — at the end of the term, June, 1874, the society held its only graduating exercises. In the fall nothing was done to reopen it." The "experiment" evidently left a lasting impression on some of its members and even today they think of its close with sadness. 78 IOW!A WESLEYAN COLLEGE PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY Organized 1858. Official emblem: "A Star." In the year 1853 the Philomathean Literary society was organized, and at once took her place as one of the bright lights of Wesleyan. In 1867 the present hall was secured and furnished. In 1868 Articles of Incorporation were taken out under the laws of Iowa, and the Charter was secured on April 4th of that year. Several revisions have taken place in the constitution, the latest being in 1911. In the Spring of 1907 Philomathean temporarily joined with Hypatia, for carrying on programs during the remain- der of the year. The result was a series of most interesting and helpful meetings. Philo has done her part in sending out well prepared Alumni and these are in all parts of the world, holding positions of trust and influence and doing a noble work for their fellows as preachers, teachers, mission- aries, lawyers, college presidents and business men. Philo has no motto, but over the President's chair hangs "A Star," the official emblem of the society. "Hitch your wagon to a Star" was the advice of a great man, and the promotors of the organization said, "Our only wish for Philo is that she may instill into the hearts of young men the true ideals of culture and character, and that she may ever point to something high, to a 'Star of Hope.' " Twenty-one young men at present follow her standard and bear her ideals in their lives. HYPATIA LITERARY SOCIETY. Organized 1890. Competition is the life of any organization, and this axiom is equally true whether it pertains to business activ- ities, social or educational institutions or College Literary societies. For many years Ruthean was the only claimant in HISTORICAL SKETCH 79 the field of literary activities among the girls at Iowa Wes- leyan, and this monopoly upon a field so broad was not con- ducive to the best interest of the society nor the girls who took part in it. For a long time it had been thought that a sister organi- zation, that could be the counterpart of Philo, and share with it. its spacious quarters, would be beneficial. To this end on February 7th, 1890, twenty-four girls, some of them former members of "Ruthean Literary Society," or- ganized Hypatia, to be a sister society and pursuing similar aims. The following girls were the charter members: Lillian Kendig-Rogers, '90. Elizabeth McCreedy. Ida Van Hon, '90. Belle Dinsmore. Elsie Byrkit-Kirkendall. '90. Anna Walbank-McGavic. Maggie Campbell-Hughes, '90. Helen Andrews-Guy. Lillian Saunders. Nortie Rainey-Rosenberger. Lena Bereman. Julia Grumbling-Gardner. Alice Hughes-Payne. Pauline Weidensel. Fanette O'Kell-Lines. Lottie Crane-Woolson. Edith Corkhill. Lillie Carton. Minnie Chamberlain. Ina Woodworth. The new society met with some opposition at first, but steadily pursued its way and soon attained a high standard of excellence. It has held its meetings in Philomathean Hall and has had frequent joint programs with that literary soc- iety. Fifty enthusiastic and energetic girls are at present carrying on the work begun and are developing into strong women ready to do their part in the upholding of Wesleyan ideals. GOETHE LITERARY SOCIETY. Organized 1884. Re-Organized, 1909. Motto: "Praemia post proelia.'' Goethe Literary Society was organized December G, 1884, in the German College, with sixteen members. For a num- ber of years it flourished and did good work. However, it 80 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE had as competitors Schiller Society, using the German lan- guage, Cicero and Simpsonian Societies, using the English language, so that there was great rivalry. The latter three disbanded and thus in 1906, Goethe was the only literary society in the German college. In 1888 the Society was incorporated. During the days of the removal of the German College to Missouri, a new society was organized, which was in a sense a perpetuation of the older organization, as thei name, constitution and purpose of the old society were retained as also its equipment and the new Goethe looked forward to a bright future. However, for reasons considered justifiable, the society soon disbanded. HARLAN LITERARY SOCIETY Organized 1869. Motto: "A Posse Ad Esse." Harlan Literary Society bears the name of one of Iowa's most illustrious sons, Hon. James Harlan. The society has stood and stands today for all that will tend to the uplift of its members and the upbuilding of Iowa Wesleyan Academy. It trains the students and gives them a lasting prepara- tion for further literary and oratorical work. Its present enrollment is fifteen young men who are car- rying forward/ the ideals of the founders of the society. CLIONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Organized Oct. 23, 1907. Motto: "Discimus ut Serviamus." Clionian Literary Society was organized by Prof. G. L. Minear, in Harlan Hall. The Constitution was drawn up and signed by fifty char- ter members. HISTORICAL SKETCH 81 IfiBfl Tlieo Shaw of Kirkville. Iowa, had the honor of being the first president of the new society. Clionian has an enrollment of forty-six earnest, enthusias- tic members and it is doing the same good work for the Academy girls, which its companion society, Harlan, does for the boys. THE FORENSIC LEAGUE The forensic record of Iowa Wesleyan College is one of which every alumnus and friend of the school can be justly proud. In the contests of the Iowa Intercollegiate Oratorical Association, the forensic classic of the state Wesleyan has won six firsts, seven seconds, and three thirds, a record exceed- ing that of any other college in the state. Under the old reg- ulation when orations had to pass a test in thought and com- position Wesleyan rarely failed to qualify. Under the new ruling with its two divisional contests, one for the eastern and one for the western part of the state, Iowa Wesleyan has gone to the final state contest every time, winning three firsts, one second and one fourth. The interest shown in Wesleyan's oratorical record and the inspiration it gives to each member of the student body argues well for the future. To every Freshman comes the ambition to write his name along side of Cavanee, Mitchell and Krenmyre, as well as Heller, Newell and Havinghurst, as a winner of a state Contest. In this respect Iowa Wesleyan surpasses most institutions of the middle West. The last few decades has brought about indifference on the part of the student body toward the art of public speaking. This is true not only of our large universities, where athletics and social life dis- sipate the student's time and effort, but of the small college as well. At Wesleyan, however, the light of forensic enthusi- asm still burns brightly. In debate Wesleyan has maintained the high record set by her orators in the state contest. A triangular debate is held annually. In these forensic encounters W'esleyan has always broken even in decisions and frequently made a clean sweep as she did this year by defeating Penn on the home floor by a 82 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE unanimous decision and Parsons' College by a vote of two to one. In the last five years Wesleyan has taken part in six- teen debates ten of which she has won. The inter-collegiate debates have in the past been the training school for our ora- tors. In the running fire of debate each one of the college's representatives has disciplined himself so that when put to the supreme test in the state contest he has made a good account of himself. Nor is interest in debate shown only among the boys. From time to time the coeds of Iowa Wesleyan have matched themselves with the women from other colleges. In these contests, too Wesleyan girls have always acquitted them- selves nobly, and have attained for themselves the same enviable record, gained and defended by Wesleyan boys. Those who love Wesleyan have great faith in her fu- ture. This faith leads them to look forward to the time when Wesleyan will win every state contest, when she will have an endowed chair of public speaking with a man who will devote himself, body, mind and soul to the noble work of developing better speakers, that they may repay their communities and their country by becoming better lawyers, better preachers, better lecturers, better teachers, better men and women than they would have been without the training in the art of public speech.

Pi Kappa Delta, (National) Installed January 23, 1913. No movement which has ever been inaugurated as a Wes- leyan tradition, has given promise of more far reaching and lasting results than the Pi Kappa Delta Honorary Fraternity. The scheme of its operation and plan of the whole organi- zation possesses much of merit and its helpfulness is the more appreciated with the better understanding of its work- ings. It is the only Fraternity in which membership is bestowed unquestionably according to merit, for only those are eligible to membership who have represented the School upon an Intercollegiate Debating Team or as the winner of an Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest. 84 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE Pi Kappa Delta is of national significance, having already twenty chapters well distributed throughout the United States and it bids fair to be the peer of any organization, founded along similar lines. We predict for it a growth and pros- perity which will soon see it firmly established in all the colleges and universities of the country. In the founding of this fraternity, as in the founding of many other noble traditions, Wesleyan has played an import- ant part. J. H. Krenmyre, '13, then a student in Wesleyan, was the prime mover in the founding of the original chapter and to him the Fraternity owes many of its admirable fea- tures as well as much of its beautiful ritualistic service. He is now a Grand Officer of the Fraternity and is doing valuable work for its advancement. The degrees of the Fraternity are progressive and so ar- ranged as to stimulate the student on to larger efforts and no move of prejudice or fate can bar his recognition once he has put forth the endeavor necessary to accomplish the ends required for such recognition. The degrees, together with the requirements carried with them are as follows: 1st Membership Degree — On one Intercollegiate Debate. 2nd Degree of Efficiency — Winner of one Intercollegiate Debate. 3rd Degree of Honor — Winner of two out of three Inter- collegiate Debates. 4th Degree of Distinction — Winner of three out of four Intercollegiate Debates or State Oratorical Contest. 5th Degree of Special Distinction — Winner of four Inter- collegiate debates or first or second place in Interstate Ora- torical Contest. HONORARY LITERARY FRATERNITY IOTA PHI. Local. Iota Phi is the outgrowth of a club organized by Prof. Waterbury, of the English Department, during the School HISTORICAL SKETCH 85 year of 1907-OS. known at that Ume as "The Scribblers." It waa the intent that membership be based on proficiency In literary work. Frequent meeting! were held during this year aa well as the year following. These meeting combined the ■octal element with the Literary. Near the close of the year 190S-09 it was decided to convert "The Scribblers" into an Honorary Fraternity, based on scholarship. The constitu- tion of "The Scribblers," revised by a faculty committee, was retained, giving the faculty exclusive right to elect members. It also provided for two meetings each year, one during the winter for a literary program, and one in the spring for the initiation of new members. Later this arrangement was changed and only the Spring meeting is held, at which time initiations take place, and officers are elected. During the ten years of its existence it has successfully withstood the vicissitudes of fortune, through which a new organization invariably goes, and has come to be a well grounded Wesleyan tradition which will undoubtedly be handed down through future ages. STUDENT MUSICAL ACTIVITIES The Conservatory of Music was established in 1877 by A. Rommel, and ranks as the pioneer school of Music in the State of Iowa. To relate all that is known concerning the life of this truly wonderful man, together with the history of his work and his influence from a musical standpoint upon the student body, townsfolk and the people of Iowa, would require a goodly volume. It will fall to the lot of no person to perform a greater service in compiling the history of Wesleyan and one which will be more appreciated as years go by, than to him who shall cause to be put into permanent form a complete bi- ography of Dr. Rommel, with a detailed history of his Con- servatory and its activities in Wesleyan. We hope that some one will undertake this important task within the next 86 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE few years and thus preserve this chapter of the school's his- tory while the necessary information is yet obtainable. For the present we must content ourselves with the mere mentioning of some of the more important activities carried on under the auspices of the Conservatory. The Boys and Girls Glee Clubs are perhaps as stable as any organization pertaining to the student body. Each year their members are carefully selected under the direction of the Conservatory of Music, and the Clubs are trained and prepared for their an- nual tours of Southeastern Iowa, which always includes many of the best towns in this portion of the State. The Club proper usually consists of sixteen members, and in addition a reader, a director and an accompanist. The quality of the programs rendered is above the average of most similar or- ganizations and the personnel of the clubs are of such high character that they make a favorable and lasting impression wherever they go. Return engagements on succeeding years are, indeed, not rare occurrences. As an advertising medium, especially in the campaign for students the Glee Clubs are the very best which the school af- fords and upon the manner in which the individual members of these organizations acquit themselves during their travels about the conference depends very largely the opinion which the communities visited have of the school and its work and influence over the young lives intrusted to its care. Thus the Glee Club brings the work of the school, home to the various charges of the Conference and this is quite im- portant, as it is impossible for but few of the members of these charges to visit the College in its home. The Boys Glee Club has just completed its Eighteenth Annual Tour, and the Girls their Eighth. At various times during the history of Wesleyan, Bands have been organized, never, however, to our knowledge under the direct supervision of the Conservatory. While no doubt there have been many bands previous to this one, the first concerning which we have any definite information was or- HISTORICAL SKETCH 87 ganised under the leadership of Lowell J. Anderson, 'OS dur- LOOl year of 1906-07, This band under the able di- rection of Mr. Anderson, became a well trained musical or- gmnls&tlon, and was continued tor a few years under the direc- tion of Lee Baasenpflug, and later T. J. Pettit, when for lack Of interest and material it was discontinued. This year under the splendid leadership of Mr. Claude an. the band has again been re-organized and trained, BCellenl concerts having been given during the year in liege Chapel, as well as a series of successful concerts down town in the Public Square, later in the season. Of orchestras there have been quite a few, some at a very early period of the school's history. These have rarely, if ever, been under the direct supervision of the Conservatory, and for the most part have been made; up of and carried on among the members of literary or other social organizations. There have been a few T , however, that have incorporated the talent of the entire school and these as a rule were organi- zations of a superior order producing excellent musical re- sults. The first oratorio performance in Iowa was given in Mount Pleasant under the direction of Dr. Rommel. Since, the Conservatory has rendered Haendel's "Messiah," Men- delsshon's "Elijah" three times, Haendel's "Judas Massa- beus" twice, "Haendel's "Sampson," Hayden's "Creation", Mendelsshon's "St. Paul", Gaul's "Holy City", Bennett's "Women of Samaria." Haendel's "Saul", besides many minor works. These recitals given by college students assisted by townspeople have always been of a very high order. A May Musical Festival of four days was given in 1902 in commemoration of Dr. Rommels twenty-fifth anniversary in connection with the Conservatory. At that time a chorus of sixty voices with solo singers of great reputation, rendered among other splendid things, "The Quest" by Nevin, and the "Stabet Mater" by Rossini. It is greatly to be regretted that modern living conditions, seemingly do not permit of the continuance of this line of 88 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE activity for in these days when society is apparently over organized with clubs of all sorts and for every purpose, and when automobiles have come to be more in favor than pianos, there seems to be no time in the life of ordinary individuals that can be devoted to intensive choral work, helpful and in- spiring as it may be. At this period of the world's history it requires more effort to keep an ordinary church choir organ- ized on a working basis, than in former days was necessary to direct a choral organization of from fifty to one hundred voices. May the sweep of time hasten the return of the good old days. YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION In the fall of 1880, Dr. W. J. Spaulding, who was President of the University at that time, received a letter from Mr. L. D. Wishard, then Secretary of the student department of the Young Men's Christian Association, asking him to see that a local association be established at Wesleyan. There had been no organization for religious work among students up to this time, and no student devotional meetings were held. Dr. Spaulding handed the letter to Rev. A. R. Miller, '82, then a student and suggested that a meeting for those who might be interested, be called for definite organization. The organization was purely local until the fall of 1881, when there was a State Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association held in Burlington, which was attend- ed by the following Iowa Wesleyan delegates: J. T. Daven- port, A. H. Collins, Jas. M. McDonald, Alex Telfer, John F. Gibson, A. R. Miller, Miss M. E. Gardner, Miss Lois Mc- Donald and Miss Emma McDonald. It will be noticed that the Young Men's Association admitted ladies to membership at that time. There arises some confusion in the dates for the min- utes of the Convention have the following reference: "Iowa Wesleyan University, Mt. Pleasant, organized last spring, was received into the International system. They have so- cial meetings every Thursday and on Sunday have devotional exercises." Probably the Association was organized by a HISTORICAL SKETCH 89 state representative in the sprint; of 18S1, although it may been begun the proceeding autumn, others who were influential in its organisation were Miss Ella Martlett, Miss Anna Lawson. Miss Aimed* Arrowsmith, Julius Smith, W, N. Potter. \Y. S. Gardner, and C. W, Simmons. The organization founded by them has continued without interruption since that time. Its members have in their col- days been the spiritual life of the school and have al- ways been active in Christian work after leaving the Insti- tution, many of them going into the ministry or foreign mis- sion work. The value of the Association to the student can best be seen in the effect upon the lives of those who have come in contact with it. The work in every department of the organization is strong and shows the earnestness of those engaged in it. There is always a large enrollment in Bible Study and Mis- sion Study, and the Volunteer Band meets weekly to discuss, the work in foreign fields. Every year a large delegation is sent to the Lake Geneva Students' Conference, which meets in June. The Conference draws men from the central section of the United States and part of Canada, and is in every respect an investment worth while. YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Young Woman's Christian Association, though a com- paratively new movement, has now a wonderful influence in the uplift of womanhood, the world over. It is not con- fined to America and Europe, but reaches through its secre- taries, girls in all parts of the world. The college branch of this organization has associations in the greater part of the colleges of the land. The Y. W. C. A. stands for the organized Christian activity of the college girls, and unites all sects in the bond of love for a, common Savior. In non-sectarian schools, the association is practi- cally the only Christian influence, while in Christian schools, such as Wesleyan, though it does not stand alone, yet it serves as the center for Christian activities. 90 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE What might be called the machinery of the Association is well regulated and adapted to the needs of student life. The departments of work are conducted by committees, whose chairmen form the cabinet. Almost all the Association girls are members of these committees and thus receive the strength and experience to be gained only in active work. Yet this well systematized work is not without spiritual life. Such a spirit of consecration and prayerfulness pervades it that it becomes but the natural expression of a desire to help. The influence of the Association, while sometimes silent, is still powerful in elevating the ideas and ideals of the girls. The local Association keeps in touch with the broader work, and the difficulties of a changing membership is over- come, by the semi-yearly visits of our State Secretary, and by the attendance of delegates at the State Convention and the Summer Conferences. WESLEYAN NEWS. Wesleyan has license to boast of her college paper, for it is a live, interesting, up-to-date news publication. Wes- leyan students have long since discarded the time honored, monthly magazine sort of a paper and taken on the form of a four and sometimes six-page newspaper. The Wesleyan News is published weekly by a student staff, which is elected by and from the active members of the various literary societies of the School. From among the members of the staff it is the custom to select the Editor and Business Manager by annual election, all paid subscrib- ers being eligible to vote, and these elections aside from the Croaker elections of the Junior Class, are decidedly the most spirited participated in by the student body. The Staff has then usually been organized along the following lines: Edi- tor in Chief, Associate Editor, Business Manager, Assistant Business Manager, Local, Literary, Society, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Alumni Editorships and Subscription Agent. The Editor and Business Manager of the News for thG past ten years, have been as follows: HISTORICAL SKETCH 91 Editor Business Mana i 1906-07 Reemt Luebb< d Buchholi. 1907-OS George B. McKibben.

JUNIOR CROAKER. The first Junior Croaker was published by the Class 1906, and. considering the early date of its publication, together with the fact that they had no anticedent after which to pat- tern their book, it was a truly remarkable publication, not, however to be compared with the more elaborate Croakers of recent years, which are embellished with modern illustrations and upon which have been lavished a vast amount of money as compared with the cost of this simple pioneer edition. The publication of a second Annual was not undertaken until three years later wiien the Class of 1909, brought forth, through many trials and tribulations the '09 Croaker. In ap- pearance this book was scarcely an improvement upon the first, while it contained subject matter of a high degree of excellence. Some of its material has been used verbatim in other portions of this sketch, as its style and accuracy could hardly be improved upon, and to their authors not known to us at this time, w r e are truly grateful. The next Croaker published two years later by *he Class of 1911 as well as those since published, was a marked im- provement over the preceeding two, and from that time until now it has been the custom to publish these bcok^ bi-annually by the class of each odd year. 92 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE As history gatherers these Croakers are splendid medi- ums and too much praise cannot be given the class and staff that publish these books, for to these faithful ones, the college certainly owes a debt of gratitude. It is greatly to be regret- ted that every class is not a Croaker class and that this pub- lication is not made annually instead of bi-annually, for we must all very greatly rely upon these intermediate publica- tions to keep history straight until it can be put into more permanent form in the Alumni Record which is published every ten years. We are indeed sorry that we cannot publish the names of the entire Staff of these various annuals, but space forbids and we must content ourselves with publishing the names of the Editors and Business Managers, with their Assistants, whose noble efforts and tireless energy cannot be given too much commendation.

Marie Schick, Asst. Business Manager. The experience to be gained in serving in the capacity of any of the above offices is among the most valuable of any opportunity for training that comes to a student during his college life, and may as well be said the greatest literary honors to be bestowed, within the power of the student body. The training which it gives always stands the recip- ient in good stead later in life's larger work and many have stepped out into important positions as editors and authors better fitted for these positions by reason of the practical training obtained while students in Wesleyan. P. E. O. SISTERHOOD CHAPTER ORIGINAL A. Founded in 1869. Emblem: Five-point Star. Colors: Gold and White. Flower — Marguerite. The early history of the P. E. O. Sisterhood, and that of Iowa Wesleyan college, are closely associated. P. E. O. was founded, on January 21, 1869, at I. W. U. with seven charter members: Alice Bird Babb, '69; Mary Ellen Stafford, '69; Alice Coffin, '69; Ella Stewart, and Frank Roads Elliott, '69; Suella Pearson Penfield, '71; and Hattie Briggs Bosquet, '69. The organization was so well planned, both in purpose and detail, that the constitution, rituals and ceremonies, with slight changes, are used today. 94 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE The purpose and desire of these seven women was to pro- mote the ideals which make for superior womanhood and to bind into permanency the ties of college friendship. From a small beginning, the sisterhood has grown into a membership of twelve thousand, with chapters scattered over thirty states. With a unison of purpose beyond self interests, alone, an edu- cational fund has been established, now amounting to $60,- 000.00, which is available for use by worthy and ambitious girls, in securing for themselves a higher education. An example of similar work of the society along educational lines, is that of the $2500.00 which the local chapter gathered and contributed to the college half million endowment fund, dur- ing the campaign of 1916. The rapid growth of the society soon made it feasible to organize a separate college chapter, first known as "A-J" and later as "S". The change was made during the second semes- ter of the year 1889, and continued until 1901, when the college chapter was withdrawn. The group composing chapter "S" then petitioned the Alpha chapter of the Greek letter society, Alpha Xi Delta, which had been organized in 1893, at Lom- bard College, Galesburg, Illinois, for a chapter of its society. The request was granted, and the local group be- came the Beta chapter of a society which was soon to become national in its organization and membership.

IOWA ALPHA. Installed 1868. Colors: Wine, Silver and Blue. Flower: Wine Carnation. December 23, 1S68, Iowa Alpha of Pi Beta Phi was estab- lished in Iowa Wesleyan as Gamma Chapter of I. C. Sorosis, by Libby Brooks Gaddis, of Monmouth, Illinois, then a stu- lent of Iowa Wesleyan University. Charter members were Libby Brooks (Gaddis), Jessie Donell (Thomas), Sarah A. Taylor, Prude Kibben (Murphy), Lavinia Spry (Lisle), Sadie Harrison (Knight), all of whom are living excepting Prude Kibben (Murphy) and Lavinia Spry (Leslie.) At the convention of 1886, the chapters were renamed and Iowa Gamma became Alpha, and at the convention of 1888, it was voted that the Greek features no longer be sub rosa. The Greek letters Pi Beta Phi took the place or exchanged places with the Latin letters, I. C, on the pin. It was deemed best in 1885 to again require that members must be University or college students or graduates, in order to more nearly conform to Fraternity Ethics — that no chapter 3hould exist unless situated in a University or College. Iowa Mpha is the oldest active Chapter with a membership of sev- snteen. The roll shows she has initiated over five hundred members. Of this number, fifty-four have died. 96 IOWA WJESLEYAN COLLEGE Both active and Alumnae Pi Beta Phi were greatly inter- ested in the recently raised endowment fund for I. W. C. The flattering amount of some $700.00 was placed to Pi Phi credit. Considering that the active chapter seldom numbers twenty, and Alumnae averages around thirty members, Pi Phi, as the English say, "does her bit ungrudgingly." PHI DELTA THETA. Founded in 1848. IOWA ALPHA. Installed 1871. Colors: Argent and Blue. Flower: White Carnation. Iowa Alpha Chapter of Phi Delta Theta was installed at Iowa Wesleyan, on September 27, 1871, the charter members being as follows: F. M. Miller, '71, J. T. McFarland, W. M. McFarland, '73, John Lauder, Herman S. Lauder, W. H. Hop- kirk, '72, E. Sampson, '71, S. W. Siberts, '72, Ed A. Gibbs, '73, Frank Kauffman and C. F. Knowlton, '73. Iowa Alpha is the oldest Chapter of the fraternity west of the Mississippi river, and numbers among its two hundred and fifty active and alumni members many men prominent in all fields of activity. The Alumni Chapter of Mt. Pleasant founded May 30, 1905, has been very active in its efforts to build up the college and its loyalty greatly aided the securing of the handsome en- dowment fund. DELTA TAU DELTA. 1874. In the* year 1874, a chapter of Delta Tau Delta fraternity was installed in I. W. U. and continued until 1880. Although some strong men were among its members, for some reason it failed tq get a firm hold, and after struggling for a time, the chapter was abandoned, and several of its members were taken into the other two fraternities, Beta Theta Pi, and Phi Delta Theta. HISTORICAL SKETCH 97 ALPHA XI DELTA. Founded April 17, 1893. As P. E. O., Chapter S.) BETA CHAPTER Installed 1902, Colors: Double Blue and Gold. Flower: La France Rose. The early history of the Beta chapter of the Alpha Xi Delta sorority is identical with that of the P. E. O. Sisterhood Pot many years this Sisterhood maintained a College Chap er in Iowa Wesleyan known as Chapter S. In 1901 for rea sons deemed sufficient the Sisterhood decided to withdraw Tom the field of College activities and this action was con jummated during the second semester of that College year. The group of girls composing Chapter S, petitioned the jreek letter sorority Alpha Xi Delta for affiliation, which pe- ition was granted and the installation took place in 1902. Beta Chapter at Iowa Wesleyan has always stood for high deals, both in the class room and in campus activities. Its nembers have been leaders in intellectual circles and in he musical world. They have ever stood firm in living up o the ideals of Truth, Science and Liberty, which are the vatch words of our Alma Mater, and in the recent campaign or endowment they were not found wanting. The Alphas lid their share, both in giving and in work for the success of he campaign. SIGMA PHI EPSILON Iowa Alpha Chapter. Installed 1913. Colors: Purple and Red. Flowers: Violets and Roses. The organization of Sigma Kappa Zeta was perfected October 1, 1911 and formally recognized by the faculty on s'ov. 1, of the same year. The following constituted the list >f founders: Enos Abel Lauterbach, Albert Frederick Neutz- imn, William Goodheart Breitenstein, Clarendon Having- 98 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE hurst, Claudius Kief Hayes, Daniel Boone Heller, Gilmore Danskin Swaney, Roy William Lofquist, Wayne Ross Hagie, Harlan Ray Stone, Clarence Edwin Hagie, Samuel Laird Hagie, Columbus Ferrel Hayes, Floyd Oscar Hagie and Hugh Stanley Newell. They chose as faculty member Dr. Reemt Eike Luebbers. From the first the organization found a hearty welcome and as a consequence thrived. Under the able leadership of its corps of officers, who during the first year consisted of Roy Lofquist, president; Enos Lauter- bach, vice president; William Breitenstein, secretary; Albert Neutzman, treasurer; and Clarendon Havinghurst, historian, the oganization laid plans to petition the national fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon. At the Grand Conclave of Sigma Phi Epsilon held in De- troit August 25, 1912 a charter was granted to the local Sigma Kappa Zeta and on February 1, 1913 Iowa Alpha of Sigma Phi Epsilon was installed at Iowa Wesleyan, the names of the charter members being the same as those of the founders of Sigma Kappa Zeta, with the addition of Howe Lee Ernst, who was in the meantime made a member. The Fraternity has since its organization maintained a Chapter House on North Main street, and the type of boys which they have chosen to become members, can in no way be better illustrated than by the fact that three times during its brief existence, one of their number has won the State Oratorical Contest, thus not only bringing fame to Old Wes- leyan but honor to their fraternity. PHI MU. Founded 1852. OMEGA CHAPTER. Installed 1914. Colors: Rose and White. Flower: Carnation. On September 12, 1914, Miss Nellie S. Hart, National President of Phi Mu, installed Omega Chapter in Iowa Wes- leyan College, with the following charter members: Edith Saunderson, '14; May Roberts, '14; Mary E. Torrence, '14; HISTORICAL SKETCH 99 King. 14; Bertha Saunderson, '15; Ruth Logan, '15 Ruth Schreiner. 15; Marie Schick, '17; Mable Core. '17 Emma Bloomquist. 17; Edna OoUlna, '17; Agnes Reaney, '17 Frances Toothacre. 17; Fae Hayes, '17; Jessie Carter, '17. The first president was Miss Ruth Logan. Phi Mu is the youngest of the Greek Letter fraternities in the college, but with a National Charter it has already made an enviable po- sition for itself and at present has twenty-six active members. It is proposed to organize an Alumnae Association during the coming summer. KAPPA DELTA PSI. Local. 1917. Flower: Violet. Kappa Delta Psi was organized April 24, 1917, with four- teen charter members. These were as follows: Donald F. Lawson, '17; Harold D. McCullough, '17; Lowell D. Thomp- son. 17; Paul D. Sandmeyer, '18; Fred E. Hyzer, '18; Lee A. Messenger, '19; Ernest E. Newquist, '19; George E. Jones, '19; Arthur Ollivier, '19; William C. Perdew, '20; Lloyd M. Nye. '20; Earnest Patterson, '20; Paul East, '20; Paul S. Sterner, '20. The organization of this new addition to fraternity cir- cles is due in great part to the efforts of Lee A. Messenger, '19. The President is Paul Sandmeyer, and there is hopes that this youngest of the circles may become a strong force in building up Wesleyan ideals. 100 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE Officers From The Beginning ORIGINAL ASSOCIATION, 1842 John P.

Librarian, French 1916-17 Apology Dear Alumni: — The world war now in progress, in which the United States has been involved, is responsible for the changing of many plans and the cause of many well conceived arrangements being broken up. This is particularly true of the plans for the publication of our new book, for no sooner had the first few pages of this edition come from the press, than our worthy editor, Mr. Herbert Jeffrey, 1913, was called to the officers' training camp at Fort Snelling, to prepare and fit himself to become an officer in Uncle Sam's great new army. Inasmuch as the contract for the publication of the Rec- ord had already been entered into, and the materials required for the same purchased by the publisher, no turning back was permissible and it therefore devolved upon me as Chair- man of the Committee on Publication of the Record, and being most familiar with the plans and requirements of the proposed volume, to assume the responsibility of Acting Editor. This I did upon the request of Dr. Schell and Mr. Jeffrey, and I therefore take this opportunity of addressing an open letter to the members of the Association, craving your 126 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE indulgence for any errors or omissions which may have crept into the book, for which I may in any manner he responsible. This duty was undertaken by me. with the assurance of the co-operation of a host of friends, who certainly have not failed me in my hour of need. At this time I desire to thank personally and publicly all those who have in the least con- tributed towards the success of this venture. Particularly Mrs. L. G. Murphy, Mrs. Laura Gassner Craver, Dr. E. E. Lymer, C. S. Rogers, Reemt E. Luebbers, Harry E. Jaques, George E. John, W. H. Evans, who have done special work, and last but not least (if I may mention this with good grace) my good wife who has devoted practically her entire time to the direction of compiling the individual records of the Alumni, taking charge the moment the book was started and not laying the work aside until it was completed. Much credit is also due those earnest, enthusiasts who were responsible for the publication of the first Record, for without the result of their loyal efforts, this edition of the Alumni Record would have been physically impossible. All honor to Carl Williams and Dr. Hancher, as well as all others who helped to make the previous record a reality. No one, perhaps can appreciate the enormity of their task so much as I, having myself had a taste of what they must have gone through with in preparing the original manuscript. As Mr. Jeffrey mentioned in his Preface, this work is far from complete and full of many errors and grievous discrep- ancies, yet we doubt if any work of this kind could be pro- duced technically correct owing to the very nature of the subject matter to be treated. Some sketches which were incomplete in the Old Record, we have happily been able to supply, others have been as elusive as Jason's fabled Golden Fleece, having utterly baffled all of our endeavors to ascertain the facts. One sketch in particular, which we were enabled to complete, gives us great satisfaction. All that was pub- lished in the old record was as follows: "No. 41. Edward Hemenway, A. B., Born Herkimer, N. Y., entered from Academy 1858. M. S. 1865. Served through Civil War as Staff Officer. Died April 6, 1866. Mt. Pleasant, Iowa." IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE 127 if you will now trouble yonrsell to turn to New Record No. 41, you will get a glimpse of some of the work we have been en* ableil to accomplish with the assistance of our friends. Thi only one case of a number where we have been able to improve on t'ne old Record, hut alas there are still too many whose history we have been unable to obtain. We shall be greatly Indebted to the person who can supply for us any information concerning the lives of the three Hooks, Nos. 119, 120, and 121, upon whom we have spent more effort without avail, than any others, In bringing the History of Wesleyan as presented in this book, down to date, we have attempted to relate everything of importance which has occurred during the interim between publications of the Record. We have also added many new features to the Historical sketch, as well as a few to the Record proper. The write-up of the Ladies' Guild, Organ Association, Museum and Student Activities will be of inter- est to all, particularly those who have not been in the b^bit of subscribing to the Croaker Publications of the Junior Class. It is for these especially that we have devoted so much space to these various topics. Two new departures in the Record are the fixing of a flag preceding the names of all those who have served their country in time of war. We are indeed proud to honor them with this special distinction; also, the reference numbering from parent to child, husband to wife, and visa versa. In this connection we have looked in vain for an instance where grandparent, parent and child have all graduated from Wesleyan, no doubt, this circumstance will occur some of these days and with this occurrence a new epoch will be added to Wesleyan's Tradition. Vet with all of this added material, we have left untouched many rich fields for historic research in connection with Wes- leyan's past, and would suggest that some one delve into the archives of Wesleyan lore and prepare for us such information as may be gathered concerning the history of the Class Play. Founder's Day, Thanksgiving Banquets, Mantel Orations and the ancient and honorable custom of Junior Orations which were the bugbear of all of the Juniors up to the class of 1909. Also a compilation of data concerning Wesleyan yells and 128 IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE Wesleyan songs will be needed for publication in the next History. We are of the opinion that when this work is again pub- lished, the material will have so increased as to make it nec- essary that the work be published in two volumes; Volume I, containing the History and Volume II, the Record. It is also to be hoped that the appreciation of the Record on the part of the Alumni, will be so great as to warrant the Association's publishing the same every five years, and the History and Record, as a two volume every ten years, and perhaps later the publishing of both at five year intervals. We have great plans mapped out for the Association to accomplish in the future which we hope to see worked out to the satisfaction of all concerned within the next few years. Now that the campaign for Endowment has been completed by the Trustees and friends of the school, the officers of the Alumnal Association expect to launch a campaign for College Endearment, which we count as important as College Endow- ment, that will result in bringing the scattered Alumni into closer touch with their Alma Mater and then a little later, after we have caught out breath, the erection of a splendid Alumni Hall on the college campus which will in a measure show the appreciation of the Alumni, for what Old Wesleyan has done for them, will be in order.

S3) of Prescott, Iowa we have obtained the following information: "John W. Boyer was last heard < i by his family in 1876. He was thought to have gone to Min- neapolis, Minn. In about 1882 some of the flour mills were blown up by an explosion of mill dust. In the fire which en- sued many of the employees were killed or injured. In the casualty list which appeared in the paper the day following the name John Boyer appeared among the dead at the Wash- burn Mills. A letter was immediately sent to the Washburn Company and the reply came back that this John Boyer had been claimed by a relative and the body taken to Indiana lor burial; however, as the years passed by and John did not return the suspicion has ever been increasing with his family that this was a ruse on the part of the Washburn people cO avoid litigation for damages, or that there might have been an unintentional error on their part and that the body was entirely cremated or buried among the unknown dead." 167.

It was located at Hot Springs, South Dakota, a beautiful town situated among the Southern foothills of the Black Hills Mountains. A handsome building was erected and had all gone well, it would no doubt have proved to be a power for good throughout the entire Black Hills Country. Both Dr. Hancher and Dr. Lymer, known and beloved to all of us were officially connected with the Institution, and Prof. Eaton of the Faculty is numbered among its Alumni. Though one of the small colleges, it had at one time an attendance of one hundred and fifty students. Twenty-two persons receiv- ed Bachelors Degrees from this institution. In 1905 by action of the authorities of Iowa Wesleyan College, the Alumni were adopted as Alumni of the Iowa Wesleyan College. These alumni are now widely scattered and not all of their addresses are known. Their ability has been recognized everywhere they have been and they have proven worthy representatives of the institution graduating them and also of the institution adopting them. Their names and classes with residence as far as known appear below: The first alumna of Black Hills College was Miss Alma Lampert, who graduated in 1891, at the end of the first col- lege year. Miss Lampert taught a number of years at Hot Springs, South Dakota and was married to Mr. George Ben- nett of Rapid City, where she now resides. Black Hills College Alumni CLASS OF 1891.

Pleasant Female Seminary (Historical Sketch) Mount Pleasant Female Seminary was established by the Rev. Mr. Bergen, a Presbyterian clergyman, in 1864. It was located on the South Side of East Washington street, just be- yond the entrance to the Grounds of the State Hospital. In 1866 Mr. Bergen sold it to Mr. Edward L. Belden, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Mt. Pleasant. Under the administra- tion of this able man, the school was remarkably successful. It grew from year to year and very soon it was found neces- sary to enlarge the building. In 1871 Mr. Belden died; this was a terrible blow to the school and for a while seemed as though it would bring about its destruction. However, under the splendid leadership of his widow, Mrs. Jane W. Belden, it rallied from the blow and became more successful than be- fore Mr. Belden's death. In 1874 Mrs. Belden followed her husband to the great be- yond and this disaster, coming so soon after the first one, proved more than the school could withstand. After vain and ineffectual struggles its doors were closed in 1879. It was not an endowed institution. Both the instruction and work done by the students of the Seminary were of a very high order, and many of its graduates are today social and intellectual leaders in the communities in which they reside. Culture and refinement were every- where in evidence and to quote from a catalogue of the insti- tution, issued in 1877. "A thorough practical English education, with the cultivation of a high and refined taste, is our aim," well illustrates the spirit of its promotors. Had not disaster overtaken the school, it would no doubt today rank with the most noted finishing schools of the Country. The prescribed course compared very favorably to the Lib- eral Arts course of the Colleges of its time, and while degrees were not given, the work required gave its graduates the equivalent of a College Education. Mount Pleasant and Wesleyan owes much to the Seminary, for one thing, if for no other. It brought Dr. Rommel into our ALUMNI RECORD 421 midst and this alone should make tor it I worthy place in all our memories. At the annual meeting of the Alumnal Association in 1913, the jraduatee of the Seminary, ■ list of whom is below ap- pended, wore made Honorary Alumni of Iowa Wesleyan. We print their names with pleasure and deeply regret that space forbids our printing a detailed history of each. Not a few of them are also graduates of the College and their names will he round in the index and by referring to their respective numbers in the Record. Mt.

Pleasant, Iowa. (Unable to obtain other members.) CLASS OF 1879. (Unable to obtain names.) Explanation The Alumni of Iowa Wesleyan College are made up of three distinct and separate classes. First, all graduates of the College who have pursued the regular Collegiate Course leading to a Bachelor's or Master's Degree, (See Alumnal As- sociation Constitution, Article 5, Section I, Page 65) who upon graduation automatically become members of the Alumnal As- sociation and are entitled to vote at its meetings upon pay- ment of the Annual Dues. Second, those upon whom Honor- ary Degrees are conferred at the Annual Commencement, upon recommendation of the Faculty and election by the Board of Trustees, who thereby become Honorary Alumni of the College, but do not become members of the Alumnal As- sociation without special action of that body. Third, those who are elected to Honorary Membership in the Alumnal As- sociation by a two thirds vote at the annual business meeting of the Association, according to the constitutional prerogative of that body. (See Alumnal Association Constitution, Article 5, Section II, Page 65) These members are entitled to all the rights and privileges of regular alumni, excepting the right to vote. It is usually the intent to bestow this honor upon the graduates of extinct institutions as in the case of the Black Hills College and the Ladies Seminary, or upon those who have had the equivalent of a college education. The Graduates of the University, listed on page 412 in- cluding the College of Law, Pharmacy and Oratory, are regu- ALUMNI RECORD 425 lar graduates of the College and therefore members of the Alumnal Association. In the next publication of the Record their names will be distributed with their several classes and if possible a complete sketch of each will be obtained and printed with those of their classmates. This will necessitate a renumbering and reordering of both the Record and the Index and will afford us opportunity to eliminate a number of B's, the majority of whom were graduated and reinstated with their classes subsequent to the time of graduation of the re- mainder of their class. The total number of Alumni of the College up to and in- cluding graduates of the June 1917 Commencement, are as follows: Total number indicated in "The Record" 1028 Plus total sub-numbers (B's.) 12 Total 1040 Less number omitted (211) 1 1039 Plus University Alumni (Bachelor's) 19 Total Alumni (Class I) 1058 Honorary Degrees (Class II) 180 Honorary Alumni (Class III) 109 Grand total 1347 BEN HUR WILSON, Acting Editor of the Alumni Record.
