Outlook Encouraging.
President Winter has been busted
during the summer looking after the
interests of the school, planning and
working for college extension. His
plans have taken more definite shape
than for a time he had even hoped
they could. The work he has done to
realize them has encouraged him to
believe that part of his time during
the coming year can be given to a can
vass for endowment in PENNSYLVANIA
and other Eastern states, where field
for solicitation with definite assurance
of valuable help has been opened, on
that the permanence of the
institution should be locally assured
President Winter will not assume any
classroom duties, but will give all his
time and effort to this extension work. |
Many New Students.
The dean of the college, Professor
D. M. Metzger, has been out in the
field soliciting students, and reports
good prospects Of making good the
heavy losses occasioned in the student
body by the unusually large senior
class of the past year. There are a
couple of young men and one or two
young women who could be secured
'or the school, if by some means they
could do work to earn their board.
Professor Metzger will again look after
he work in the departments of Eng
ish and German during the school
rear.
Professor H. H. Dunkelberger, sec
etary of the faculty. and head of the
of Mathematics and His
ory, has during the summer been in

,any. and those who expect to do
