THE TRUSTEES TAEE IMPORTANT STEPS.
The Board Of Trustees were in session
several times during the week, and the
result ol their sittings cannot fail to be
highly gratifying to all the friends OF the
college. The first important measure
adopted was the establishment OF q new
chair, that Of New Testament Literature
70 All which they elected ]. M. Tii6it
A. NJ, O Bethapy graduate OF '75. He
has recently been located at Buffalo, N
y, and has assisted in the editorial WORK
Of the st. Louis ChriStidn Evda0elisi, Will
which publication he will retain his con
neCtion. He 10 regarded as a very able
man, and 1t Ia believed that his namt
Will add great strength to the Faculty
This new chair has been established II
response to the great demvnd for min
tslerial education as the part OF the
Christian church.
During this coming year 1t will be the
special aim ofProf. s, NJ. Cooper, the ac
tive financial agent, to secure an endow.
ment oi go, 900 for the new chair. The
Hoard hns given him an associate in the
person Of l'roi. II. II. Rumble, and nc
effort Will be spared. Last year Prof,
Cooper raised about $3.50 outside OF
other revenues.
Prof. Hunter Pendleton, Ph. d., was
elected to tho chair OF Natural Sciences
held ioF two years past by Prof. S. NJ,
Rodgers,
A step made by the Board Of equal i'm,
portance with the establishing OF the new
chair, was the purchase OF the handsome
residence OF Prof. w. X. Pendleton fol
$4,000, to be used as a hall or home fol
the young lady students. II Is admir-.
ably adapted for such purpose and will
doubtless result in a largely increased
attendance. The attendance OF students
the past year has been 13l, the largest
Tor sixteen years past II showed an in.
crease over the previous year OF twenty.
i've per cent. The coming year, ills ex.
pected, that there will be not less than
2V0-b0 ladies' and 150 gentlemen. All the
Indications polut 10 this. The future
for Bethany Is becoming.more and more
roseate and mono who know her but
rejoice that such ia the case. President
.Woolery hRE reason TO be proud OF what
is being done. He has more than
proved that he is the right man in thQ
right place, and the students and people
all realize this.
