Miss Willard s Career
As Dean at Northwestern

when Miss Willard returned from the
Holy Land with her devoted friend Miss
jackson, she was elected dean of the
Northwestern University, at Evanston,
Ill. Her career here as teacher, though
brief, was unique, and entirely char
acteristic Of the woman
She was 4 revelation to tie girls who
came from distant homes with well de-
fined notions of what an austare person
the dean would be. She met none of
their gloomy requirements.
She was as much III advance of her
times as the modern young athletic col
lege woman wotilfi have been had she
been introduced into the prim ranks Of
the seminary girls of thirty years ago.
Memories CT Miss Willard.
One who was there at the opening Of
the fail term of 1873 says:

terable sense of Loneliness In my heart, /
mounted Tic steps to the great hall
door, bat there the awful sensations
vanished

had ever seen, was taking me by the

signed to orr rooms.
The genuineness of her regard for her
pupils was impressed upon them from
the first This did not end ii her per
sonai supervision of their studies. but
followed them continually.
Interested in Students.
She was interested in what they as
pired TO do and be, and encouraged
them In every iaudable ambition.
To develop seIf-reiianee and lay the
foundations for strong character build
ing. Miss Willard gave but one general
rule for conduct. This was, DO right. =
Out of this law she evolved .s9at much
discussed plan OF self-goveinment which
eventually went down under the deter
mined ruling OF the head Of the univer-
sity, DR.. G. II. Fowler
Self-goyernment, however, was the or
der SO long as she remained dean of the
institution, and the girls took great
pleasure in seeing their names upon the
spicuous place in the reception hall for
the edification or visitors, relatives, and
friends.
As Disciplinarian.
In the very few cases of discipline her
kind, persuasive treatment proved emf
nentiy successful, and perhaps no school
could show fewer cases of insubordina-
ton.
Her lessons in English composition
were treat. sparkling with bright
thoughts anu replete with original sug-
sestions. She was q master of perfect
expression, and IN the class room be-
came an inspiration TO her pupils. She
could not endure the sight of mis-
spelled word. It grieyed and annoyed
her.
She did her work in the most uncon-
ventfonai manner Walking from Rest
Cottage toward the seminary one day

the girl, she tapped her playfUiiy with

with the information that, in her opin-
ion there was no more promising field
open to women than that Of newspaper
correspondence.
Thus did she seek to enlarge the hori-
zon Of the girls In her charge and lead
them 20 discover the best in themselves.
In carrying out her theory Of self
government for girls, Miss Willard in
troduced the Quiet Hour into the
curriculum Of each days work. 1t pro-

morning or the evening of the day.
A Quiet Hour.
The two occupants OF the room could
themselves choose their own time, bat
it was understood that one should leave
the room and that the halls should be
kept absolutely quiet during this period.
There were some who were inclined TO
make sport of this time Of enforced med
misunderstanding of darning nose, sew
ing on buttons. reading novels or doing
anything rather than spending the time
in seff-conmunion as was intended, but
this spirit was short-liyed

tire department under roof, but last
winter Secretary Wilson, after he had re-
ceived applications for floor space from
the various bureaus, came to the conclu-
sion that this would be a practical impossi-,

with the departments of the government
last winter and would not increase the
amount of the appropriation, so, making
the best of the situation the Secretary de-
cided to go ahead with the erection of the

The work of excav2ting for the founda-

the main portion of the Department of Ag-

the Indictment weather of the past month
or more but, although the progress has
been slow it is nearing completion and be-
fore many weeks it is likely the actual
work on the building viii commence. The
contractor for the excavation, Mr.. Ambrose

men on the job every day since the first of
the year and something over three-fourths
of the total amount of earth has been re-
moved.
