DEAN SHARPE IN CHARGE

The Bible College of Missouri will en-
roll students next Monday morning, but
the formal opening will not take place
until Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock,
when there will be an assembly. All stu
dents are urged to be present at this
meeting, as announcements will be made
and special schedule will be arranged.
Charles Manford Sharpe, who has been
for several years professor of systematic
theology in the college, will assume his
duties as dean, succeeding DR.. w. J..
Lhamon. Dean Sharpe says the Bible
College will continue to strive to give
the students the highest grade of in
struction. The courses for which Uni
versity students may get credit in the
College of Arts and Science of the Uni
versity of Missouri will be l, the History
of the Jewish People; 2, the Bible as
Literature; 3, Comparative Religion.
New Faculty Members.
The new member of the faculty will
be I. E. Winter, professor of Old Tes-
lament Literature and Interpretation,
and Thomas E. Breeze, instructor in
charge of the Preparatory Department.
Professor Winter comes from Pittsfield,
Illinois. He was a student at Yale Uni
versity, receiving his masters degree
there. Mr.. Breeze is junior in the
College of Arts and Science of the Uni
versity of Missouri and in the Bible
College of Missouri. He comes from
Windsor, Missouri.
The Bible College had last year 1914
students, among whom l6l were Uni
versity students taking one or more
courses for credit. Twelve were candi-
dates for the ministry, twelve were pre-
pairing for mission fields and nine were
special students. This year, according
to applications received to date, the
number of ministerial students will ex-
coed twenty. The total enrolment is
expected to increase materially.
A preparatory department has been
created so that the students in the High
School of the School of Education of the
University may have the privilege OF
taking some Biblical studies. Hereafter
the buildings and grounds will be man
aged by superintendent instead of by
the dean as heretofore.
Campaign for Endowment.
A year ago the Bible College started
a campaign for 100000 endowment
At that time, R. A. Long, of Kansa!
City, president of the Board of Trustee:
of the College, promised $4,000, pro
vided that the other $4,000 be raised
before October l, 1909. But on accoun
of the recent illness of typhoid feve
/ of G. D. Edwards, the financial agen
for the college, and his inability to carr.
out his work until the end of thi
month, Mr.. Long has agreed to exten'
the time to December l.
Dean Sharpe said that more than hal
of the $4,000 had been raised and tina
] there would be four full professors il
the college when the 100000 endow
ment is completed.
The Rev, Mr.. Edwards, who has jus
recovered from his illness, is now rest
ing at his father-in-law's farm at Perry
Missouri. He will be out again abou
the first of October.
