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-

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 Wesleyanassured, 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 somethings 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 wehave 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 someinstances, 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. Bethat 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 youngterritory to higher education. Of this labor of brain and heart,

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 muchto 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. Theaverage 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.


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 Mexicanwar. 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. Whatthe 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 manythings 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 our1 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, NelsonLathrop, and Peter Smith are hereby appointed and constitu-


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.

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 sometime 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 underthe Methodist Episcopal Church, it does not appear that the

Rock River Conference, of which southeastern Iowa was then


a part, ever mothered Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institute. TheIowa 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 ThomasE. Corkhill, under date of September 30, 1865, and the samewas 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.


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 astrictly 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 IowaConference who are members ex-officio. Eight members are

elected each, by the Alumni and the Board, while the IowaConference chooses twelve. The term of office of seven

members of the Board expires annually.


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 IowaConference, 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 Mainstreet 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, whichshall 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


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 whichhe 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. Hetraveled 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


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.

(No portrait extant.)


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 dayof April of that year. Professor Lewis Dwight, A. B., A. M.,

took the place of Professor Pierson in the faculty, and he andPresident 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 TroyCircuit, 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 wenow 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.


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. Wejudge 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 wasmustered 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 "TheNew Religion."

President McDonald was an alumnus of Indiana AsburyUniversity. 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 onChristmas 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.


His successor was James Harlan, A. M., LL. D. Toname 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 namedJames Harlan as one. All but three placed him first. Hewas 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 sometime 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


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. Whenin the faculty, but not president, his chair was International

Law. Succeeding President McDonald, he served from sometime 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; JamesHaynes, 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, WrayBeatty, M.S., Ph.D., Rev. Chas. Elliott, D.D., LL.D., Chas. G.

Downey, A.M., D. N. Heffner, B.S., Miss Maria Meatty, andothers.

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


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 havegrown 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 morethan 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 namingall 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


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? WarEditor. 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 IowaWesleyan 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, andDr. 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 bodyof 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., whoseterm 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 waslarge-hearted and tender in his administration. Those whowere 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;


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 andre-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


loyalty, and witnessed as a reward of his industry growingnumbers of pupils, and graduates from year to year. It wasto 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. Manyyears 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 himpleasure 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


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, whenthe 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. Hehad also been a professor of Latin at Indiana Asbury. Hewas 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 GermanCollege, 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 endowmentof $20,000.00 which, with the aid of the patrons of Wesleyanwho 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 <?vent of the


failure of the Mt. Pleasant German College to maintain aninstitution of the class and type agreed to, and the discontinu-

ance of the Mt. Pleasant German College as an institution of

learning, the building and property were to revert to IowaWesleyan University.

This proved a very helpful and valuable affiliation. It wasa very good thing for the German Methodist people, whoprobably could not have maintained an independent college

here, and also a very good thing for Iowa Wesleyan, affording

to her advantages of instruction in the German language

under teachers born to the tongue, such as probably she could

not yet have had under other circumstances.

The German College did a valuable work. It had a suc-

cession of worthy and able presidents, whose names are

given in the schedules appended to this sketch. The vener-

able R. Havinghorst, D.D., vice president from 1873-74; the

able and philosophical Dr. Frederick Munz from 1893-97, and

the polished, finished, gentleman and scholar, Rev. Edwin S.

Havighorst, A. M., D. D., from 1898 to 1908; Dr. H. G. Leist,

from 1908 to 1909, are personally known to the writer as menworthy their lofty callings and the high confidences imposed

by the great church whose servants they are.

It is probable that the other presidents of the German Col-

lege were not less worthy of mention, but limits of space and

lack of information forbid more than the listing of their namesas above noted.

During the administration of President Havinghorst, a

beautiful German College Chapel was erected. It was begun

in 1900 and completed in 1901, at a cost of $8,000.00, and serv-

ed the double purpose of a chapel building for the college and

a house of worship for the German Methodist people. As ex-

plained later in this sketch, the German college was, in 1909,

merged with Central Wesleyan college at Warrenton, Mo.

The buildings and property of the institution along with some$12,000.00 of endowment reverted, according to the terms of

the original agreement, to Iowa Wesleyan University.


The administration of Dr. Wheeler was an agreeable andpleasant one. He was a hard worker, a man of large sympa-

thies, congenial spirit, admired by the people and loved bythe students. He severed his relation as president by resigna-

tion, June 16, 1875. He returned to the pastorate, and was a

worthy and efficient Christian minister until his death, which

occurred in 1881.

On June 16, 1875, the day that President Wheeler resigned,

John M. Mansfield, A. M., an alumnus of Iowa Wesleyan,

class of 1864, was elected vice-president, in which office he

continued for one year. Professor Mansfield had the chair of

Chemistry and Natural History from 1864 to 1877, and waswell qualified and equipped by education and experience for

the important duties incumbent upon him in the office of vice-

president, which duties he discharged with faithfulness and

efficiency.

At the resignation of President Wheeler, Professor Wesley

J. Spaulding, who had been out of the faculty since 1864, wasre-elected a member of the faculty and made acting president,

which office he held from September 17, 1875 to September 7,

1876, when he was elected president. For about eight years Dr.

Spaulding was president.

From 1879-81, Professor Wray Beatty, M. D., Ph. D.,

who was in the faculty from 1855 to 1864, and again

from 1875 to 1881, was vice-president Professor Beatty wasan alumnus of Iowa Wesleyan, A. B., class of '57. He had also

taken a scientific course at Ohio Wesleyan, where he gradu-

ated, B. S., in 1852.

President Spaulding was a student to the manor born. His

was a very fine type of intellect. A scholar at graduation, hewas a student always, and always with growing interest and

increasing delight. He analyzed everything and everybody

with unusual accuracy. His philosophical temperament, his

great delight in educational work, his tendency to ever promptthe best thought and the deepest inquiry of the students, madehim a popular president and worthy leader of growing youth

and developing character. The years of his presidency weresplendid years and the record is a worthy one.


During his administration the Mt. Pleasant Conservatory

of Music, which had been in existence under Dr. A. Rommel,a German musician educated to the art in his native land, wastransferred from its quarters in the east side of the city to

Iowa's pioneer college building on the Wesleyan campus, and

affiliated with Iowa Wesleyan University. This conservatory

of music is among the first in the country. Its alumni stand

high everywhere, and Dr. Rommel is recognized throughout

the nation as a musician and a teacher of music of rare abil-

ity. From the time of the affiliation of the conservatory in

1877 until January 1905 Dr. Rommel's official title was Director

of Music of Iowa Wesleyan University. At that time his title

was changed to Dean, and it has since been and henceforth is

to be Dean Rommel.

Vice-president under Dr. Spalding, 1882-84, was Rev. JohnT. McFarland, A. M., D. D., LL. D. Upon the resignation of

Dr Spalding in June 1884, Dr. McFarland was chosen president.

J. T. Dickenson, A. M., succeeded him as vice-president,

which office he occupied from 1884 to 1886. In 1887 Gus Wal-

ters, M. S., class of '79, was elected vice-president, and

continued in that office until 1893, when he resigned. There

has been no vice-president in office at Iowa Wesleyan since.

Dr. McFarland was educated at Iowa Wesleyan, but took

his Baccalaureate degree at Simpson College. President Mc-

Farland had seven splendid years at Iowa Wesleyan. Heenlarged and strengthened the faculty and gathered about

him students in growing numbers, who more and more re-

mained in college "for business." The alumni of those years

are worthy men and women—strong men and women—whoseaverage of scholarship and character is high.

Dr. McFarland was a profound thinker, and a very able

preacher and platform speaker. The Sunday school and Tract

publications off the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he

was elected editor by the General Conference of 1904, are

ready witnesses to his ability as well as his adaptability.

In his administration the Chapel and Science Hall was con-

ceived and planned. Under his inspiration the trustees began

its erection. A subscription was secured, excavations were


made, and a foundation put in in 1888. A careful inspection

of the resources and liabilities was made. Foreseeing the dan-

ger of a heavily increased debt, Dr. McFarland said: "I would

rather see that foundation under pine boards and tar paper

for years than to see a building erected and a mortgage on it".

Accordingly, a temporary roof of the type described was put

over the foundation, and it remained for three years.

President McFarland was highly appreciated by the Con-

ference. Their love for him and confidence in him was testi-

fied at the session of 1887, which elected him to the General

Conference of 188S with a very large vote.

In June, 1891, President McFarland resigned, and at the

same meeting Rev. Charles L. Stafford, A. M., D. D., waselected his successor. Dr. Stafford was an alumnus of Iowa

Wesleyan, class of '71 He was at the time of his election

easily the leading pulpit orator of the Iowa Conference. Pres-

ident Stafford's leadership addressed itself early to the erec-

tion of the building already begun. A subscription was raised,

and the original plans carried forward to the completion of

what was called and is still known as the Chapel and Science

Hall. It is a worthy brick structure, three stories high, and

furnishes accommodations for science laboratories, library,

offices, and several lecture halls. An important feature is the

auditorium. This is a commodious amphitheatre-shaped roomwhich, with its main gallery and back gallery, accommodatescomfortably one thousand people, and is such an auditorium

as any other College in Iowa might be proud to have. Not-

withstanding it was erected during the trying times in 1892-93,

when materials and labor were cheap, this building cost $45,-

000.00; and if it had to be constructed today the cost would

probably increase that figure by $30,000.00.

With this new structure completed, Wesleyan's alumni,

patrons and friends took courage. In 1895 Rev. J. F.

Robertson, then pastor at Muscatine, who had beenholding councils with one of his wealthy members,advised President Stafford that there was an encourag-


ing prospect for help in his parish. Dr. Stafford visited

Muscatine, and he and the Rev. Mr. Robertson having had per-

sonal interview with Mrs. Elizabeth Hershey, came away with

her pledge to give $10,000 for a young woman's home at Wes-leyan when the other patrons and friends of the institution

should have pledged a like amount. The papers were execut-

ed, and a few days afterward this noble woman went to her

final reward; but her work abides. The conditions were metand more, and today Elizabeth Hershey Hall, a three story and

basement brick building, stands on the west campus, a monu-ment to her devotion and that of the many friends who helped

make her conditional subscription available. The structure

was finished in, 1897, at a cost of 32,500. It made provision

for seventy young women, and is modern in every way; steam

heat, electric light, toilet, beautiful parlors, woman's gymna-sium, capacious dining room. Some of the interior construc-

tion was not completed until later. The gymnasium was fin-

ished and fitted in 1901, and later a number of rooms on the

third floor. The total cost of this building to date has been

about $40,000. President Stafford was busy with these material

interests. He was an indomitable worker, a veritable toiler. Heliterally gave himself to this one work for eight years. Heenjoyed a gratifying student patronage and a large measure

of student support. His pulpit and platform utterances will

long be remembered. The goodly numbers who graduated

from Wesleyan under his administration are loyal to their

Alma Mater and devoted to their president. Dr. Stafford waselected by his Conference to the General Conference of 1892

and that of 1896, both of which occurred during his adminis-

tration. He was again chosen in 1900 and 1912 after he had re-

turned to the pastorate. This repeated expression of confidence

on the part of his brethren of the Conference is both an ex-

pression of the appreciation of his work and a testimonial of

their personal esteem. In 1898 President Stafford resigned,

the resignation to take effect in June 1899; and after eight

eventful and fruitful years he severed his connection with the

college.

Rev. Francis Durbin Blakeslee, A. M., D. D., was chosen to

succeed him. Dr. Blakeslee had been some three and twenty


years the head of East Greenwich Academy, Rhode Island. Hewas an alumnus of Syracuse University, cultured, refined, ex-

perienced, traveled and exceedingly well married. The west

was not congenial to him, and after a presidency of one year he

resigned, to accept the presidency of old Cazenovia Seminary

in New York. During that year Mrs. Blakeslee was the vigi-

lant and worthy preceptress at Elizabeth Hershey Hall. Dr.

Blakeslee was a good man, with many elements of strength;

and had he chosen to remain with Wesleyan for a term of

years, doubtless he would have left the impress of his person-

ality and leadership to a much larger degree than is possible to

an administration of a single year. He and Financial Secretary

Dr. T. J. Myers, put their heads together to raise the indebt-

edness. They secured the services of Bishop C. C. McCabe,

and at the session of the Iowa Conference held at Mt. Pleasant

in September, 1900, a goodly beginning was made. Thirty

thousand dollars in conditional pledges were taken, but the

going of Dr. Blakeslee before the completion of the $150,000

upon which these were contingent made the effort compara-

tively futile.

Following Dr. Blakeslee's resignation the trustees were in

search of a president for eight months. During this time

Professor Alba C. Piersel, A. B., A. M., of Ohio Wesleyan Uni-

versity, class of 1890. of the chair of Greek and Dean of the

College of Liberal Arts, was acting president. Born and

reared in a Methodist parsonage, quick of perception, keen of

intellect, by nature a student, and essentially a scholar,

Professor Piersel possessed many elements and qualifications

for this important service. The chief aim of his year as act-

ing president was to hold all the interests of the school firmly

in hand and direct wisely and well until another president

should be chosen. In these things he was successful. Hesent out a loyal and worthy class, and closed his year with a

Baccalaureate sermon that is to many who heard it a sweet

memory.

On March 13. 1901, Rev. John W. Hancher, B.S., M.S., A.M.,

S.T.D., then pastor of the M. E. Church at Herkimer, N. Y.,

was elected president. He entered upon his duties early in


May of that year. Until commencement he insisted that act-

ing president Piersel should continue at the head of the insti-

tution, preach the Baccalaureate sermon and administer af-

fairs. President Hancher was formally inaugurated Wednes-day, June 11, 1901. Straightway he began organization look-

ing to freedom from debt. Two and one-third years later

$100,000 had been raised with which to free Wesleyan fromdebt.

President Hancher brought to Iowa Wesleyan fourteen

years' experience in school work, six of them in the public

schools where he began his public career as a teacher, andeight of them as college president. He loved his work and

devoted himself to it with untiring zeal. For the more than

six years of his presidency he was constant in his services

at Wesleyan, except the month of May, 1904, in which he

served his Conference as one of its chosen delegates to the

General Conference at Los Angeles.

Almost immediately after the completion of the $100,-

000.00 debt-raising campaign,—a truly remarkable financial

accomplishment, Dr. Hancher, with his tireless energy, im-

mediately threw himself into the task of raising an emergen-

cy fund of $6,000 per year, to enable the school to meet all of

its obligations. As in the previous campaign he was great-

ly assisted by Dr. T. J. Myers, and other loyal and faithful

friends of Wesleyan, too numerous to mention. During the

dark years when the college was under the cloud of a heavy in-

debtedness and the annual budget running far in excess of the

income, little care could be paid to the physical condition of

the plant. After the completion of these two funds, $5,000.00

was raised for the improvement and beautifying of the cam-

pus and grounds. As no competent man was available, Dr.

Hancher personally superintended this work.

In addition to the splendid work along financial lines, Dr.

Hancher was an educator of the truest type. His aim was

to make Iowa Wesleyan a well-rounded institution; a school

with a name and a standard. To that end he increased the

faculty, strengthened it by the addition of strong men and


women, so that Wesleyan was able to stand in the first class

of colleges and universities of Iowa. The student body also

received his attention, and the catalogues for each succeeding

year of his administration showed a steady increase in the

enrollment.

Dr. Handier gave to Iowa Wesleyan six and one-half years

of faithful, loyal, devoted and untiring service. During that

period, he was twice called upon to undergo dangerous surgi-

cal operations. The nervous shock consequent thereupon

together with the multiplicity of his responsibilities, almost

culminated in a physical collapse, and in November, 1907, he

was obliged to ask to be relieved from further service in

connection with Iowa Wesleyan, in order that he might be

permitted to rebuild his fast failing health.

For two years he was engaged in business pursuits in Old

Mexico, where he was unusually successful, but the over-

throw of the Diaz administration, consequent upon the revolu-

tion, destroyed his holdings and he returned to this country.

Shortly thereafter, he was made counselor of Methodist col-

leges, and in this capacity, raised many thousands of dollars.

In 1912, he was elected assistant secretary to the Board of

Education. During this quadrennium, Dr. Hancher played a

prominent part in the raising of over $13,000,000.00 for Meth-

odist universities, colleges, academies and secondary schools.

As appreciation of this service, the General Conference of

1916 made him Associate Secretary of the Board of Educa-

tion and chairman of the Jubilee Commission. In this

capacity, Dr. Hancher is now engaged in the most stupend-

uous task of raising over $20,000,000.00 for Methodist schools.

His service to Iowa Wesleyan, during the recent campaignfor $500,000.00 of new endowment, is mentioned elsewhere

in this sketch.

Just at the close of President Hancher's administration,

November, 1907, Mrs. Robert T. Lincoln (Mary Harlan) deed-

ed the old Harlan home, with the furniture and belongings,

to the College. It is a fine old house where so many festivities

of Senator Harlan's best days occurred. The lot has a front-


age of two hundred feet and a depth approximately the same.

Immediately upon the transfer of this valuable piece of prop-

erty to the College, the Executive Committee ordered the in-

stallation of a new heating plant in the house and enlarged

the basement, thereby adding greatly to the comfort and con-

venience of the old Harlan mansion.

Upon the resignation of President Hancher in the fall of

1907, a committee was at once appointed to find his successor.

After the church had been thoroughly canvassed and scores

of candidates had been considered the committee finally

selected Edwin A. Schell, A. M., Ph. D., D. D., at that

time District Superintendent of the Crawfordsville District

of the Northwest Indiana Conference. The new president

attended General Conference of 1908 and assumed his duties

here in the latter part of May of that year.

President Schell was born at Deer Creek, Indiana, and was48 years old at the time of his election. He graduated at

Northwestern University, from which institution he also re-

ceived the degree of A. M. During his college work he took

the Kirk Oratorical prize, much coveted by Northwestern stu-

dents. He was a Phi Beta Kappa man in his class. He served

as pastor during his college course, building and organizing the

Methodist church at Hammond, and while at that place he

served as correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, and he

counts this work a very important part of his training. Hewas admitted to the Northwestern Indiana Conference in 1886,

having previously served as a supply for three years. After

pastorates at South Bend, Ind., and Younkers, N. Y., he! waselected General Secretary of the Epworth League and there-

after became for one year Secretary of the Epworth Hospital,

South Bend, Indiana. The financial experience gained here

and later in the district, and as dedicator of churches stood

him in good stead after coming to Mt. Pleasant. After serving

six years as Superintendent of the Crawfordsville district,

where he had a record of assisting in the building of twenty-

four churches and eighteen parsonages he was elected to the

presidency of Iowa Wesleyan. He has always been a writer

for current magazines, and a lecturer in wide demand. Illi-


nois Wesleyan gave him the degree of Ph. D. for post graduate

work in 1S91, and Hedding college conferred upon him the

degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1892. December 1912 to June

1913, President and Mrs. Schell made a circumnavigating tour,

and Dr. Schell lectured for three weeks to the Teachers'

Assembly at Baguio, P. L, under the auspices of the Insular

Government.

On the 6th of April 1907, Andrew Carnegie in a letter had

promised $25,000 to the endowment on condition that the

College would raise $75,000 and make the Carnegie Fund$100,000.00. This was the first work that engaged the atten-

tion of the new president and this fund was triumphantly

completed April 6, 1910. This initial gift of Mr. Carnegie's

was the largest ever given to the College up to this time.

Meanwhile, in June 1909, Dr. A. C. Piersel, who had been the

Dean, retired to enter the pastorate of the First Church at

Springfield, Illinois, and Dr. Elmer E. Lymer was elected

Dean. The first year of President Schell's administration

was greatly disturbed by the moving of the German college

and its merger with the institution at Warrenton, Missouri.

The question of the transferring of the endowment was finally

arbitrated before a committee of Bishops, consisting of the

late Bishop Walden, Bishop Newlen and Bishop Anderson.

The award of the Bishops that the amount should be equally

divided, was after some months, changed by the parties inter-

ested therein so that Iowa Wesleyan received forty per cent,

instead of the amount originally awarded. This became the

basis of the Seventieth Year Endowment Fund, which wasfinished July 1, 1912, with an aggregate in money and prop-

erty, approximating $100,000.

The installation of a fine central heating plant was the great

work of the year 1910. A subscription was taken at the Boardmeeting in June of that year, among the Trustees and this

wa3 supplemented by a subscription at the Conference con-

vened at Pella, Iowa, by which, and from other sources, about

$6,000 was obtained. With that as a basis the plant was in-

stalled in the basement of the Chapel building at a cost of

(including arrangement of the room, the chimney, and the plant


itself), about $12,500. $5,000 of this sum was never raised

and was carried in the National State Bank until the refund-

ing of the floating indebtedness in June, 1912. In 1912 Presi-

dent Schell was invited to go as a special lecturer to the

Teacher's Assembly, at Bagio, in the mountain province of

Luzon, in the Philippine Islands, and he was absent during the

first six months of 1913. The remainder of that year and 1914

were characterized by an insistent demand to increase the

Educational Collection. This collection, little by little, had

been growing under the loyal leadership of the District Super-

intendents of the Conference, until in the fall of 1913, it

reached about $7,200. By this special campaign, which in-

cluded rallies in each of the four districts, the collection in

1915 reached the high water mark of $11,200. The interest

of the Conference has never flagged during these years.

The school year of 1914 was dignified by two events of

more than passing importance. The largest class in the his-

tory of the school, forty-four in number, were given their

diplomas. At commencement time, the college was singularly

honored by the presentation of an oil painting of Dr. Charles

Elliott, LL. D., the great war time president of the College,

and editor of the Central Christian Advocate, by his daughter,

Miss Phoebe Leech Elliott. The speech of acceptance by Ex-

President, Charles W. Stafford, in which, in glowing terms,

he paid tribute to this great servant of the church, will long

be remembered.

At the Annual Conference at Winfield, the first after Presi-

dent Schell began to get acquainted, the Conference ordered

that Friday evening should be kept free for the Educational

Anniversary, and a banquet beginning at 5:30 p. m. followed by

the Educational Address began to be the fashion. This has

been the order every year since, and has given opportunity for

the laymen and preachers of the Conference to express their

devotion and even enthusiasm to the higher educational workcarried on by the Conference.

President Schell is now completing his ninth year of serv-

ice. This is a longer administration than was privileged to

any of the eminent men who preceeded him in his office. It


is significant to note that his crowning achievement, the com-

pletion of the Diamond Jubilee half million, came in the

months when other presidents had left or were packing up

preparatory to their departure.

President Schell has enjoyed the largest measure of suc-

cess during these nine years. The endowment has grown

from $60,000 to $750,000. The college enrollment has practic-

ally doubled. The faculty has been strengthened and newfriends of the school added by the thousand. His past efforts

are but a promise of what the future will hold. Each year by

his presence the school will secure the unalloyed benefit of

continuity and cumulation. The author feels that the whole

situation in regard to Iowa Wesleyan is summed up in the

closing paragraph of the President's Report to the Mid-Year

meeting of the Trustees in February, 1917.

"Events have now proved true beyond all question what

I have hestiatingly, often doubtingly, but always sincerely

for almost nine years reiterated that wre have here at MountPleasant and in the Iowa Conference, the opportunity for

founding wrorthily and well, and the constituency for main-

taining an institution of learning, that in its outcome will

bless all mankind."

In May, 1915, the new pipe organ, perhaps one of the finest

instruments in any college chapel in the state, after long

years of expectancy, was finally installed. It exceeds, in both

tone and size, the greatest expectations of all interested.

This splendid addition to the college equipment was secured

through the generosity of the congregation of St. JamesChurch, of Chicago, the quick comprehension of a great op-

portunity by Mr. Hugh A. Cole, and the devoted faithfulness

of the women of the Ladies' Organ Fund. Before the organ

was installed, the interior of the chapel was re-decorated and

a new roof put on.

The year 1915 opened with the College having a produc-

tive endowment of essentially $200,000, with certain lands

whose value was approximately another $50,000 and it wasalready apparent that the progress the institution was mak-


ing in students and in public influence required a leap forward

rather than the slow growth by which it had been character-

ized. The Conference, which met at Centerville received a

proposal from, Parsons College for the merger of the twoinstitutions and a special committee, consisting of President

Schell, Mr. Hugh A. Cole, President of the Board of Trustees,

Dr. C. L. Tennant, Dr. U. S. Smith, and Hon. H. M. Havner,

were appointed to confer with the like committee appointed

by Parsons College as to a merger of the two institutions.

The Board of Trustees met twice in special session in

October and November of the year and a tentative proposal

from Ottumwa for the location of both institutions there, wasgiven serious consideration by the College authorities, but

the Parsons Board were apparently unfavorable to a removal

from Fairfield and to a merger in Ottumwa. On December20th of that year the special committee appointed by the Con-

ference proposed to the citizens of Mount Pleasant and HenryCounty, that if they would raise $100,000 in good subscriptions

the Conference—that is the territory outside of Henry County

—would raise $150,000, and make an added quarter of a mil-

lion for the endowment. This proposition was enthusiastic-

ally received and Mount Pleasant and Henry County com-

pleted their $100,000 by February 1, 1916. Even before that

a special session of the Conference had been called at Ot-

tumwa. At this session in the forenoon, the Conference un-

der wrote the action of the committee which they had ap-

pointed and certain prominent laymen, who loved the institu-

tion, notably Hugh A. Cole, Carl S. Williams, Gardner Cowles,

Chris Haw, W. J. Steckel, and others expressed the opinion

rather forcibly that it would take a half million to make anadequate program to guarantee the future of the College andin the afternoon session the entire program was reconsid-

ered. The Mount Pleasant contingent present agreed that if

the Conference would raise $350,000 instead of the $150,000

which was formerly proposed, they would add another $50,000

to their offering, dividing the half million into $350,000 from

the Conference and $150,000 from Mount Pleasant and HenryCounty. This rather staggering sum after much prayer and

hesitation was voted and the work of the campaign was at

once inaugurated.


Mr. Herbert X. Jeffrey, who had graduated with the class

of 1914 and who had been assisting in the student campaign,

was put in charge of the publicity department. President

Schell, himself, assumed direction of the larger subscriptions,

and Dr. John W. Handier, of the Board of Education, cameback to render his fine service in the way of the popular sub-

scriptions; with two notable interruptions for the General

Conference and for the summer months, the campaign went

forward and was triumphantly concluded on January 1, 1917.

Meanwhile at the March meeting of the North Central

Asociation. Iowa Wesleyan was accorded membership in that

standardizing educational body. In November preceding, the

University Senate recognized the College as a standard in-

stutition of the Church and with the membership of the Col-

lege in the Association of American Colleges, its rank be-

came unquestionably settled and has not since been challeng-

ed. Columbia University was one of the last institutions to

accept its degrees as full entrance requirements for their post-

graduate courses of study and the rating of the College is

now standard and the committee appointed to arrange a pro-

gram for the celebration of its "Diamond Jubilee" is able to

report to the public that the College has approximately

$750,000 productive endowment and the friends of Christian

Education in this section of the state may make their bene-

factions with the knowledge that the College shall in all prob-

ability stand for a thousand years.

Soon after the opening of the fall semester in 1916 Dr. E.

E. Lymer, who for seven years had acted as Dean and Audi-

tor, was elected president of Gooding College, Gooding, Idaho.

He was one of a long list of eminent men who had left the

college for important educational or ministerial positions. It

will be remembered that President Harlan was elected to the

United States Senate; President Elliott was elected Editor of

the Central Christian Advocate, while President McFarlandwent to a pastorate at Bloomington, from whence after sev-

eral changes he came to the editorship of the Sunday school

publications of the Methodist church. Dr. Hancher becameAssociate Secretary of the Board of Education, and Dr. Piersel


went to a pastorate at Springfield, Illinois, and later becameDistrict Superintendent of the Urbana district. During DeanLymer's service, Professor Gardner went to Kansas Univers-

ity, Professor! G. Ware Stephens to the University of Maine,

while Professors Behymer, Hedges, Daugherty, and the M'sses

DeNice and Rader had all been elected to advanced positions

elsewhere. The election of Dr. Lymer as President of a col-

lege was therefore entirely in order and his abilities and

scholarship made it altogether not an unexpected promotion.

On his retirement October 20th, Dr. R. E. Luebbers, Iowa

Wesleyan, 1909, who received his post-graduate degree from

Boston, and after a year in Europe had taken the chair of Po-

litical Economy, was elected Dean to fill the vacancy, created

upon the departure of Dr. Lymer. Mr. Adam Weir, also a

graduate of the institution, was elected Auditor, thereupon

separating the offices of Dean and Auditor, which together

had been filled for many years so creditably by Dr. Lymer.

The statement that we have too many Methodist Colleges

in Iowa is no longer put forward with the assurance that for-

merly characterized it. There are five standard Methodist

colleges in Iowa or one for each 65,000 members approximate-

ly: the Disciples of Christ have one college and they have

only 60,720 members: the Lutherans have two colleges and

10,700 members: the Baptists have two colleges and less than

40,000 members: the Congregationalists have two colleges

and less than 36,000 members: the Presbyterians have six

colleges and only 47,000 members in the entire state—one col-

lege to each 7,843 members. The United Brethren with 10,000

membership and the Friends with 6,600 members each main-

tain a college. The question is fully as clear when judged

by the number of students that these colleges have been able

to attract and help into a larger life. By comparison with

Minnesota, where there is only one institution, the Iowa plan

reaches approximately five times as many; and the samecomparison with Kansas where there are threa Methodist

colleges and Nebraska, where there is only one; and between

Ohio, where there are four, and either Indiana or Michigan

where there is only one, brings the same conclusion.


The College now needs the rebuilding of practically all of its

physical plant and the enlargement and new installation of

equipment. A gymnasium for men and another lor women is

almost imperative. The gymnasium in the Y. M. C. A. wasbuili when the emphasis was not put on basketball that

has since been accorded it, and some quarters that are of regu-

lation size must be found for the College teams. The youngwomen of the institution especially need greater outlet for

their activities and a woman's building perhaps as an annex

to Hershey Hall is absolutely necessary. A new library 1 uild-

ing, a new science hall, and the repair and rearrange aent of

the Pioneer building and its conservation must be considered

in any liberal program for the future of the institutioi.

Endowment

In addition to the property described in this sketch, which

is conservatively valued at $200,000, about $750,000 of endow-

ment has been gathered through the years. This accumula-

tion of endowment has been going on during the past half cen-

tury.

This college probably saw its darkest days during the

Civil War, when as has been shown, the student ranks were

more or less depopulated by volunteers to the army, and whenwithout a dollar of endowment and $57,000 of debt, they were

trying to carry on their worthy work. This heavy burden was

discharged after the close of the war and the work of building

endowment begun.

Oliver Hoyt, of New York, gave $15,000 in cash. This was

procured through the efforts of Rev. Thos. E. Corkhill, Mr.

Hoyt, stating that he placed the money at Wasleyan out of

admiration for Senator Harlan.

Ex-Governor Claflin gave several hundred acres of land In

Louisa County, which afterwards was sold, and the moneyapplied partly to endowment and partly to the general fund.

Mr. Timothy Whiting left by will $5,000, which formed the

nucleus for the funds with which to build the Chapel and

46 IOWA WESLETAN COLLEGE

Science Hail. Rev. George X. Power, long a member of the

Iowa Conference and a valued councilor of the board ')f trus-

tees, left $5,000 by bequest, on the Annuity plan, in favor of

his adopted son.

As described elsewhere, in this sketch, Andrew Carnegie,

in 1907, promised S25.000 conditional upon the completion of

the total sum of $100,000. This was finished under the ad-

ministration of Edwin A. Schell, in April 1910. In 1911, an-

other campaign for 2100,000.00 known as the Seventieth Year

Endowment, was launched. President Schell, with the help

of his assistant, Dr. H. X. Smith, completed this fund in July

1912. For a period of practically three years there were no

organized efforts to increase the endowment fund. It was

readily apparent, however, that a campaign for any sum less

than $250,000.00 would not insure the stability of the school.

After an honest effort had been made to combine with someother school or schools, the constituency of Iowa Wesleyan,

in March. 1916, launched the Diamond Jubilee campaign, for

$500,000.00. This was completed January 1st, 1917.

We will not have space to print all the names of the peo-

ple who have made subscriptions to the permanent endow-

ment fund of the college. The total amount of endowment,

at the time the last Alumni Record was printed, (1905) wasbarely §60,000.00. Very many small gifts were necessary to

complete even this meager amount. Such gifts are usually

not spontaneous. They nr^st always be promoted. To do

this, our college has had a long line of financial agents from

the beginning.

Sometimes there were a number of years when no agent

was employed, but for the most part the aggregations of

funds for endowment or buildings from many small contribu-

tions have been procured by agents. Of these there have

been nineteen. We are absolutely without data to showthe results of the faithful services of many of these. RevL. B. Dennis, the centennary agent who began service in

1S66, achieved worthy results in endowment, as did Rev.

I. A. Bradrick, Rev. George X. Power, Rev. J. T. Simmons,

HISTORICAL SKETCH II

and Rev. Thomas E. Corkhill. Rev. W. F. Cowles also has

a sturdy record in this line. We are embarrassed not to b«

able to furnish details of the results of the efforts of these

worthy men.

The last financial agent was Rev. Dr. T. J I

period of service continued from 1S97 to 1902. He was treas-

urer as well as agent. Dr. Myers took charge following the

awful depression of '92 and "93. which had swept over Europe

and America and had wrecked thousands of bu uter-

prises and hundreds of fortunes. Business was sulky, people

were over-cau:ious. contributions were limited and difficult

to secure. This heroic servant of God and the Church, after

some months of service, foresaw the impossibility of ra:

funds to liquidate the large and growing debt extant at I

time, but he rallied a few friends, and he and they, being menof property, put behind the institution their personal credit

and held the business interest at Wesleyan steady until the

country could recover from its embarrassed and alarmed con-

dition.

Iowa, being an agricultural country, had not suffered near-

ly so much as other parts of the country, but Iowa, bein

cautious coun:ry as well if ^cultural one. had becomeimbued with the notion that she had suffered tremendc hi

Hence the necessity of waiting until an opportune time. Mean-

while the authorities of the college, under the nnan

retaryship of this earnest man and the faithful service of

President Stafford, waited and prayed and hoped for br

days. History will never be able to record the anxious

and nights spent by T. J. Myers, nor the financial value of his

service to Iowa Wesleyan rendered at that time.

Under the presidency of Dr. Blakeslee a movement to

raise $150,000 was begun, and some -S

pledged. This included thr >:_ 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.


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


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 WT

esleyan by administrations from Huestis to Schell.

Many important facts have not been stated, and should wewrite all we know or have heard there would still remain

important data unmentioned. The simple listing of the namesof 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-


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 amongits 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 somerather 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 Edwardshas 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


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 homeof 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 beensifted out, driven on by the spur of necessity, the college lift-


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 mostoptimistic supporters of the institution a few brief monthsago, 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 sumwas 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 Wesleyancould not comply with the requirements, the Trustees and

friends of the institution began to cast around for some wayout 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, Simpsonand 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 wasto 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


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 wascalled 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 IowaConference (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 writh

either Parsons or Ottumwa made a proposal to the MountPleasant 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


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 Weirwas chairman.

The Henry County campaign will long be remembered.

When it was inaugurated there were not a half dozen menwho 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. Twodays before the closing hour, with every prospect canvassed,

there was a shortage of thirty thousand dollars. The womenof 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.


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 wrould be impossible in this sketch which has already

grown too long to give due credit to all the loyal friends whogave of their time and their counsel and their substance in

this titanic endeavor. The inestimable services of Dr. JohnW. 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 wrork was brilliant.


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


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 dreamcame 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 andregistration 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 HonMrs. 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 Campaignthrough 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 samefrom 1900 to 1915. Mrs. Murphy has served as president

all these years.

After paying all obligations, in June 1915, "The Guild" wasre-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 workassumed 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 womenof 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 Boardof Trustees, there has been much more interest in the organi-

zation. Then again, the records have been put in permanentcondition. 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 "AlmaMater," and keep alive the affection of student for the old

college halls.


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.

The Museum

The early history of the museum is uncertain in many par-

ticulars. 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


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


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 Mainbuilding. Should this building ever be destroyed, the Museumwould 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.


As the grim Reaper reaches out and brings to a close, one

by one with ever increasing rapidity, the lives of those whohave been with us since the beginning, it is important, at this

time, that many things, which may to some seem to be of apurely trivial nature, be set down with whatever accuracies

they may be gathered, in order that future generations mayknow 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. Manyseem 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 mayguide and true their existence, is an asset which wealth


cannot produce, but which must be developed by slow and

tedious evolution, throughout the period of many, manyyears 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 comesin contact with one of those dear, old Alumni who has treas-

ured many valuable and precious facts in his heart, and whocan 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 manystudents, 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 whohave 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 becomeinsignificant 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.

74 IOWA V^ESLEYAN COLLEGE

HAMLINE LITERARY SOCIETYOrganized 1855.

Motto: "Lux et Veritas."

During the years immediately preceding the Civil Warwhen 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. Thecharter 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 youngmen 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.


RUTHEAN LITERARY SOCIETYOrganized 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 newand modern woman had not appeared.

The mothers had primitive ideas of what girls should

learn and feared that a literary society would make themmasculine 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 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, SwanMcClure, 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,


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 wasbrief 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 wasorganized, 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 onApril 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 youngmen 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


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 whotook 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, someof 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 Wesleyanideals.

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


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 SOCIETYOrganized 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 IowaWesleyan 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 SOCIETYOrganized 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.


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 wonsix 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 newruling 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 namealong 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 mostinstitutions 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 byher orators in the state contest. A triangular debate is held

annually. In these forensic encounters W'esleyan has alwaysbroken even in decisions and frequently made a clean sweepas she did this year by defeating Penn on the home floor by a


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 matchedthemselves with the women from other colleges. In these

contests, too Wesleyan girls have always acquitted them-

selves nobly, and have attained for themselves the sameenviable 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 whowill devote himself, body, mind and soul to the noble workof developing better speakers, that they may repay their

communities and their country by becoming better lawyers,

better preachers, better lecturers, better teachers, better menand women than they would have been without the training

in the art of public speech.

HONORARY FORENSIC FRATERNITY.

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.


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. Heis 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


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 neworganization 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 workand 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 whoshall 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


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 merementioning 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 manyof 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 membersof 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-


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 fewT

, 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 MountPleasant 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 minorworks. These recitals given by college students assisted bytownspeople 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


activity for in these days when society is apparently over

organized with clubs of all sorts and for every purpose, andwhen 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 hundredvoices. 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


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, commonSavior. 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.


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 amongthe 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 mostspirited 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:

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 moneyas 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 knownto us at this time, wre 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.


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 wemust all very greatly rely upon these intermediate publica-

tions to keep history straight until it can be put into morepermanent 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.

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.


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 membershipof 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. Anexample 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 becomenational in its organization and membership.

GREEK LETTER FRATERNITIES

BETA THETA PI

Founded 1839.

ALPHA EPSILON,Installed 1868.

Colors—Pink and Blue.

Flower—Rose.

Fraternity History at Iowa Wesleyan dates back to 1868,

when on June 5th of that year, Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Beta

Theta Pi was installed by James S. Castle, '70, Knox College.

The charter members were Horace A. Kelley, J. A. Schrie-

ner, Wm. R. Pearson, Robt. A. Burton, Dillon H. Payne,

Chester L. Collins, J. C. Mitchell and Albert G. Smith.

HISTORICAL BKBTCH 95

Alpha Bpsllon was the oldest chapter of the fraternity

with COntlllUOUfl existence west Of the Mississippi until

HIS, when it was made Inactive.

It has nearly throe hundred names on its roster and these

men have many of them tilled high positions in all walks of

life, honoring thus not only themselves and their fraternity,

but Iowa Wesleyan college, as welt

PI BETA PHIFounded 1867.

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. Theflattering 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 membersbeing 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.


ALPHA XI DELTA.Founded April 17, 1893.

As P. E. O., Chapter S.)

BETA CHAPTERInstalled 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 Chaper 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 ons'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-


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 HughStanley Newell. They chose as faculty member Dr. ReemtEike 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 SigmaKappa Zeta and on February 1, 1913 Iowa Alpha of SigmaPhi 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 waybe 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;


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.

Apology

Dear Alumni:—The world war now in progress, in which the United States

has been involved, is responsible for the changing of manyplans 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


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 whowere 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 improveon t'ne old Record, hut alas there are still too many whosehistory 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 newfeatures 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 whohave 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


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 Wesleyanhas done for them, will be in order.

Boyer, (See Xo. 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 WashburnCompany 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 wasentirely cremated or buried among the unknown dead."

Black Hills College(Historical Sketch)

Black Hills College during the ten years of its history of-

fered strong courses in its college of Liberal Arts as well as

in Music. 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. Thoughone 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 AlmaLampert, who graduated in 1891, at the end of the first col-

lege year. Miss Lampert taught a number of years at HotSprings, South Dakota and was married to Mr. George Ben-

nett of Rapid City, where she now resides.

Mt. Pleasant Female Seminary(Historical Sketch)

Mount Pleasant Female Seminary was established by the

Rev. Mr. Bergen, a Presbyterian clergyman, in 1864. It waslocated 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. Weprint 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.

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 whohave 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
