WHITMAN of the Dining Rooms
Studen Room

A leading Presbyterian minister from
the western part Of the state visited
the college several times and wrote
voluntarily to President Penrose:
God bless you in the work you are
doing. Whitman has the highest stand
ing of any institution in the North
west"
In April, 1908, Dr. Albert E. Win
ship of Boston, for % years editor of
the Journal of Education, visited the
college, and after a few days wrote in
private letter:
Il am tremendously impressed with
the Inland Empire, with Walla Walla,
with Whitman College. I met an I'M
usual number Of persons who know
that region, indeed the whole Pacific
Northwest Without exception they
say that Whitman is the only scholarly
institution in that region. 1 know
personally IS colleges and universities,
and I tell you, Penrose, that there is
not a man in America who has such
a chance as you have. l would sooner
have your chance for 90 years than
that of any college man in America
Professor A. w. Mowry, Phi. D., OF
Hyde Park, Mass, distinguished edu-
Gator and historical writer, spent near
ly a month in Walla Walla, lecturing
in the college and coming into close
touch with it's inner life. After attend
ing Rotations and chapel, and be-
coming Intimately acquainted with both
faculty and students, he said:
81 found in connection with the COL
lege several things more favorable
than I had expected to find. First, the
equipment was much better and more
extensive than I had anticipated; Sec
ond the faculty was composed OF
stronger and broader men than l had
supposed possible; third, the students
were fully equal to those Of similar
colleges in New England, and they
were. if anything. more in earnest and
more devoted to their work; fourth the
courses of instruction were fully equal

of the Northwestern Conservatory and
a bachelor of music from the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, will be instruc-
tor in pipe organ, piano forte and
science of music. For three years he
has been professor of piano forte and
science of music at the Broad Street
Conservatory, Philadelphia, at the same
time studying under DR.. Hugh A.
Clarke, the famous teacher of harmony
and composition. He has also been
Organist and choir conductor in the
Messiah Lutheran church, Philadelphia.
From all these institutions he brings
strong testimonials to his worth as
an artist and teacher.
Miss Harriet Young. who graduated
from the Whitman Conservatory at the
last commencement will give instruc-
ton in piano forte She is a musician
of unusual talent and has had unusual
success in teaching young pupils. She
was an assistant in the conservatory
last year.
One Of the most significant ten
denotes of recent times in educational
work has been the growing belief in
and support of the so-called small
college. Ten years ago there were
those who seriously discussed it's COM
plete extinction as an educational fac
tor. Its small resources and its limited
field of instruction, and the phenomen-
al growth in wealth and attendance of
the great universities, with their vast
ly superior equipment, gave rise to the
belief that all higher education would
eventually center in these great insti-
buttons. But thoughtful educators
have been convinced that there are Sc
rious drawbacks in the universities,
in the small college. The spirit of
commercialism which tends to substf-
tute for culture and disciplinary stud
les those branches which seem to be
of more immediate material worth has

changes are announced in the person
mel of the faculty. Professor Anderson,
lege ever since its reorganization in
1888 as professor of Greek, is COM
PEELED by i'll health to give up his work
for the present. His place will be
taken by Mr.. Otis j. Todd, a master
of arts of Harvard University, who
comes with unusually strong recon-
mendations for scholarship and
efficiency as a teacher.
Professor Wylie, who for the past
six months has been travelling and
studying in Egypt and Palestine, will
return to her work as professor of
Biblical literature and dean of women
Miss Edith Merrell for several years
in charge of the work in public speak
ing has resigned and in her place Mr..
Norman F. Coleman has been Sc
cured. Mr.. Coleman was for several
years one of the most successful and
popular teachers in the Spokane high
school. He resigned his position there
and took a course in the graduate
school of Harvard University, receiv-
ing his Masters degree there this
year. Besides public speaking, Mr..
Coleman will have a number of the
courses in the department of English.
Mr.. Donald V. Mitchell, formerly in
structor in physical culture in Iowa
College, and in the Yale University
summer school, will have charge of the
work in physical training. Regular
classes in gymnastic exercises will be
carried on under his direction.

In material equipment, the growth Of

certain amount of work in those sub
jects which long experience has proven
to be of advantage to all young peo-
pie; he receives a careful training in
one subject during a long period lead
ing to mastery of it, and thirdly, he Sc
lects a large number of studies accord
ing to his own personal tastes. This
system of study was adopted three
years ago, after long and careful de-
liberation on the part of the faculty,
and it has been found as satisfactory
as its most enthusiastic advocates
could have wished for it. 1t avoids
the danger on the one hand of too
wide election and consequent scatter
ing of effort that obtains at some in
stitutiOns, and on the other hand it
gives the student the opportunity of
cordance with his individual bent, more
than the old fashioned college course
was definitely prescribed.
PearsOn's Academy, so named in
honor of DR.. D. K. Pearsons, the donor
of Whitman Memorial Hall, is the
preparatory department of the college.
1t is one of the highest grade second
airy schools of the northwest. Its re-
quirement for entrance is the compile
ton of the eighth grade of the common
schools It has three courses of study,
classical literary and scientific, which
prepare for the corresponding courses
in the college, While the academy is
primarily a fitting school for the col
Iege, its usefulness is by no means
limited to that field; its graduates are
prepared to enter other institutions,
or to enter business life. All the privi-
leges of dormitories, library, gymna-
SUM. etc, open to college students are
open also to students in the academy.
One of the most valuable parts of the
institution is the Conservatory OF
Music. Opened for the first time in
1886. it has always maintained an ex-
ceedingly high standard of art, and
has reflected great honor on the COL
lege. Seven members of the faculty
give their whole time to musical edu-
cation. and in addition they are assist
ed by several advanced students, who
have charge of the practice mstru-
ments. The conservatory building con-
tains IS rooms for practice and instruc-
tion. The college has % pianos inclua-
ing two grand pianos. In the college
chanel IS located one of the largest
and finest pipe organs on the Pacific
coast. Instruction is regularly given
on this. At the last commencement
five students were graduated, the
largest class in the history of the con-
servatory.
Student life at Whitman has many
attractions. Almost all students not
residents of Walla Walla live in the
college dormitories, where every pro-
vision is made for their comfort ana
vell-being Billings Hall, accommodate
ing about 20 students, is the dorml-
tory for men: its dining department mas

The institutional life Of Whitman
college dates from 1859, when a char
+ar was granted by the territorial legis-.
7.rure to Whitman Seminary. But I'M
Iyoidable delays postponed the actual
2aginning of work until the fall of
7>66. when regular instruction was be-
.,gn in the newly erected school
H.use which still stands as a part of
pr.ntiss Hall. The first teacher was

u. heroically carried on the work which
H. had begun as a memorial to his
tfend, the great missionary martyr,
Marcus Whitman. The curriculum in
-.minary days included, besides a few
gh school studies, common school
admitted. With the growth of the
territory in population more and more
attention was devoted to the more ad-
vauced work, and the need became felt
for an institution of more ambitious
type to supply the educational demands
Of the young people of the community
who were not able to go east to col
lpge. In 1882 DR.. Alexander J. Ander-
son. then president of the State Uni
versity at Seattle, was called to the
presidency of the college, and under
took the work of reorganization. A
new charter was granted by the legis-
lature to Whitman College, and the
course of study was enlarged to meet
the growing demand. The preparatory
department continued, as indeed it still
remains, the larger part of the insti-
tuition in point of numbers. The first
wear under the new charter there were
five students in the college department
and total of 119, including primary
pupils Under the efficient leadership of
President Anderson the attendance
steadily grew until in 1891 there were
- i'm the college and a total enroll
mont Of $50, which included no prim-
airy pupils, the primary department
having been discontinued some years
previously. Owing to i'll health, Dr.
Anderson was compelled to resign in
1891 and was succeeded by the Rev
James +. Eaton, d. d. In 1894 Rev.
stephen Is. L. Penrose, d. D., was
called to the presidency
Except during one or two periods of
adversely the attendance has increased
steadily year by year The period of
greatest development in every direc-
ton has been the last 10 years. This
accelerated growth is accountable on
several grounds the phenomenal
growth of this region in population
and resources, the almost uninterrupt-
ed material prosperity of the country,
the increased appreciation on the part
of the people of the value of higher
education. and perhaps most of all the
devotion and administrative ability Of
President Penrose. The growth of the
college may be seen by the following

and the enrolment in the several de-
partments in period of two years since

WHAT Is CATARRHs
Simple Way to Overcome the Dangers
of this DisagreeabIe Disease

Catarrh is an Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the nose. throat
and lungs, with many annoying symp-
toms. In this climate there are few
who do not suffer from this disagree
able disease, often in chronic and
dangerous state.
Fortunately, within the last few
years, a simple and reliable treatment
for catarrhal troubles has been found
-Hyomei. a combination of healing
and germ-killing balsams. that, when
breathed through the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit
reaches the tiniest cells in the respir-
atory organs, carrying its healing and
health giving properties to every part
where the catarrhal poison is present.
Used in this way. Hyomei kills all
catarrhal germs. drives the poison
from the system and heals all irrita-
ton that may be present in the muc-
Gus membrane.
If you have the ordinary catarrhal
symptoms. such as offensive breath,
burning pains in the throat, cough.
raising of mucous. difficulty in breath
ing. sneezing. huskiness. discharge
from the nose. droppings in the throat.
coughing spasms, etc, begin the use of
Hyomei at once.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81. extra bottles, If needed, so cents.
and is sold by Mitchell & Egbers under
an absolute guarantee that it will cure
catarrh or money will be refunded.

FOR A LONG TIME

Richard Houle, who has been con-
fined to his home at Three Mile Spring
for more than seven weeks in conse-
.quence of an attack of typhoid fever.
is still regarded by his family and
friends as very sick man, although
his physician expresses confidence il
his ultimate recovery.
Mr.. Houle was stricken down with
typhoid fever shortly after the close
of the Fremont County Fair, where he
had a sort of general supervision of
the grounds. and was compelled to go
to bed September Both. On two oc-
casions since then he thought himself
able to sit up, but a relapse followed
both efforts and he will make no fur
ther attempt to get out of bed until a
period of convalescence has set in.
Mr.. Houle's condition was critical
a week or ten days ago, but is now
somewhat better. with the prospect
favorable for continued improvement

RETURNS FROM HUNTING
TRIP IN NEWFOUNDLAND


Dali De Weese returned home Tues
day afternoon from a successful hunt
ing trip into the interior of Newfound-
land, whittier he went a couple of
months ago for the purpose of pro-
curing caribou, which are abundant
in the more remote and inaccessible
portions of that island. Mr.. De Weese
had hunted in Newfoundland before
and his acquaintance with conditions
there enabled him to find his way
without difficulty into that section of
the country where the best shooting
was to be had. He accordingly sailed
the Port Aux Basque. where he out
fitted for his trip into the interior.
Having secured the necessary guides
and laid In a stock of provisions for
the journey. Mr.. De Weese packed in
TO the country as far as ST. Georges
river. a distance of one hundred miles
from Port Aux Basque, which was
poled up In canoes for two days.
where base OF supplies was estab-
lished.
From this point three day journey
was made back into the country, a
camp was made at the end of each
days march, where provisions were
cached for the use of the party on the
return trip.
The goal of the expedition was
reached when Mr.. De weese and party
arrived at the edge of the barren
grounds on the brakes of Red Indian
lakes. more than a weeks Journey
from the coast The laws of the coun-
try do not permit a hunter TO kill
more than three carbon, under a Sc
we're penalty, and, as Mr.. De weese
was desirous of securing the finest
specimens possible. he did not do any
shooting for several days. After he
had thoroughly explored the surroun-
dings, he went out in search of game.
of which he found plenty in the neigh
borhood.
or the three stag caribou killed by
Mr.. De weese. all had splendid ant
lers, the largest of them showing 40
points and the other two 2s and 26
points respectively. In each case the
brow antlers were locked, which adds
to their value as trophies of the
huntsman. The skins were taken OF
carefully, with the head on. and will
be presented to the state museum of
natural history In Denver, which has
already been the recipient of various
rare specimens of North American
fauna from Mr.. De weese BY a pro-
