At meeting of the stockh olders jan
uary s, 1861 a temporary board of trustees
was elected. The parties chosen were
Joshua Lawson, I. l.. Beamer, H. NJ.
Fiske, James f. Morris and J. c. Welch.
Joshua Lawson was elected president and
III. NJ. Fiske secretary of the board. 1t
was decided to call the institution Hes
perian College and that three-fourths of
the trustees should be members in good
standing of the Christian Church In
August, 1863. the College was incorporated
under the State laws, and at the first
meeting OF the board Rev. J. N. Pende-
CAST was elected pres dent, position
which he filled for seventeen years with
honor to himself and satisfaction to the
patrons OF the school.
f. S. Freeman was elected treasurer and
b. G. Lawson secretary. The college was
first located near the center of the city,
but owing TO its rapid growth the trustees
decided to purchase a new site half mile
erected after 1880. Professor A. NJ.

the college for twenty years, and it
ranked high among the first educational
institutions of the State. Its graduates

| increased so rapidly that an increase in
the faculty soon became necessary.
The design of this Acade emy is two fold
the culture OF the mini and the culture of
the heart for while pupils are undergoin :
thorough drill in the common branches,
in the arts and sciences, of the higher ed
ucation, no pains are spared 20 i'm bue
them with a higher sense of moral duty
and fit them to perform we'll their part IN
life. The Academy is a Catholic institu-
tion but pupils of ali denominations are
re ceived, the rules of the school not in ter
fering with their religious opinions. Good
references are required of all applicants.
Students who have completed the pre-
scr1bed course of study receive q diploma
when such distinction has been honestly
earned. Among the graduates are num-
bered some of Yolo's most prominent
women. The Academy is we'll equipped,
possessing weIl-selected library of choice
works on history. science, biography, lit
erature. fiction and religious works; a
