| of the instructors who have served
| the institution in its various depart
ments the past year. II is understood
that all of the instructors will remain.

thereby raising the entrance require
ments to the highest standards main
tanned by the leading colleges and uni
versities of the United States. The
academic course is increased from
three to four years The collegiate
course remains four years as hereto

yates of the academy hereafter will
receive diplomas. All subjects in the
college senior class will be elective

manded OF all students.
Plans for the forthcoming jubilee
were discussed by the board. There
is to be a magnificent scheme of dec
Grafton of the grounds of the college
and the thoroughfares leading thereto.
The expense will be large. and it was
decided that it be shared equally by
the college and the synod.
1000 Invitations.
A new United States flag to adorn
the main building was ordered pur-
chased. Two thousand invitations TO
be sent out for the jubilee were or
dered printed The invitation com

ture at the college. One credit will
be allowed for two hours of gymnastic
exercise.

MUSCATINE PIER
IS MOVED BY ICE
High Bridge Is Put Out of Com
mission by Heavy River
Movement.
IRON WORK BADLY TWISTED
Anchorage Installed to Save Struc-
ture1 Until Danger Is Over
Engineer Summoned.

Muscatine, Iowa, Feb. / Especial
The ice flow in front of Muscatlne
damaged the last stone pier of the
Muscatine high bridge yesterday tc
such an extent as to put it practically
out of commission. The bridge is
closed for traffic today but tempo
rary anchor will hold the bridge in
safety until the ice moves out and
traffic will be opened again for Sat
urday.
The ice on the Iowa shore moved
out yesterday, dropping down several
feet. The ice on the Illinois side
also dropped down a short distance
and left an air hole on the Illinois
side of the pier. This threw all OF
the pressure against the pier of the
bridge and as a result the masonry
was badly battered and shifted.
superintendent Lillibridge at once
closed the bridge for traffic and tele
graphed an engineer to come at once.
The engineer will be here today and
the weakened pier will be anchored
by strong guy lines to both the shore
and to the other piers. This will en-
able passengers to cross the bridge in
safety and traffic will be resumed
again on Saturday without danger.
Ice Very Thick.
Superintendent Lillibridge stated
that the ice about the pier by actual
measurement was u feet thick. This
showed and pushed at the pier until
something had to give. Men were en-
gagged at once to saw away the ice
from about the threatened pier and in
a measure relieved the pressure. The
men cut through II feet of solid
ice to do this work.
Never before in the history of the
town, as far as is known, has such
massive ice bridge spanned the Miss
issippi. The pressure exerted on the
stone pier was simply beyond calcula-
ton. Millions of tons pressure in all
probability were thrown against the
stone abutment.
The pier will have to be rebuilt in
The spring when the ice goes cut, so
superintendent Lillibridge states, as
the stone work has been battered be-
yond repair-permanent repair-and
the iron work has also been badly
twisted. This work, however, will
be done In the summer and as meas
ures have been taken to avert any
further trouble at the present time
the bridge will again be passable
within a period of "a hours.
Thought an Earthquake.
An instance of the power of the
ice foes now covering the river was
that of Sunday last when big crack
appeared in the ice bridge opposite
the waterworks station. The assure
ran from shore to shore and wher
the ice bridge parted it was with a
thunderous roar. The entire island
was shaken and dishes ratified in tho
cupboards and houses trembled. Sup
ertendent Molis at the waterworks
station was busy for some time ex-
planning to the island residents over
the phone that the waterworks had
not blown up and that no one had
been killed.
