and done their part nobly as their

The following interesting address
was delivered py Hon. Cyrus Beede,
at the exercises in connection with the
laying of the corner stone of the new
Gymnasium at Penn college, Friday
afternoon, May 8:
History Of College.
Penn college was founded by Iowa
Yearly Meeting Of Friends, in the
year 1867, under the name of The
Iowa Unio1 College Association of
Friends" and under this name its
first board of directors were appointed
on the part of the Yearly Meeting,
Joseph d. Hoag, Enoch Hoag, Lewis
Nordyke, Jesse w. Kenworthy and
David Stanton for three years, Benja-
min Hollingsworth, William Knight,
Abiiah Johnson, Henry P. Ninde and
Cyrus Beede for two years, and Abra-
BAN Hawkins, Andrew G. Williams,
George B. White, william K Sopher
and John H. Green for one year. It
should here be stated that those direc-
tors appointed by the Yearly Meeting
have always been expected to report
to said Yearly Meeting, yearly. the
western wing of the college appears to
nave been built in 1871, except that
the minutes of 1872 seem to admit that
the LIST and I'd stories are now being
completed. In 1873 it appears by the
records of the Yearly Meeting the
name was changed from Union College
Association to Penn College and that
school opened in 1872 on the 5th OF
18th month as a nigh school under the
principalship of John w. Woody, con,

each, and la 1873 the school was or.
