been felt for some time. Until it was
erected it was necessary to depend al
most exclusively upon the text book
and lecture as the means of impart.
ing knowledge to students. Now 1t Is
possible to supplement these agencies
with a system of individual research
which is generally conceded to give
lest results. The library is thus more
than a mere shelter for books; it is a
part of the college itself and is used
daily by nearly all the students. In
addition to the usual stack and read
ing rooms. it contains much needed
offices for the executive staff of the
school, lecture room and a museum.
The erection of the library is account,
ed the most important step yet taken
toward greater Augustana.
Two years ago, through the death
OF c. ]. Ericsson, who gave Ericsson
field to the college as a campus,
Augustana fell heir to a conditional
gift of $4,000. In order to secure the
bequest it was necessary to raise an
equal amount by subscription within
two years, Mr.. Ericsson's will provid
ing such terms. Consul C. A. Smith
OF Minneapolis, another friend of the
school, on learning of Mr.. Ericsson's
bequest, offered $4,000 additional il
the conditions named in the will were
met Again a canvass was undertake
ell and with such good results that the
1000 has now been pledged. Thus
the school adds $4,000 to its en-
/ dowment fund.
During the year ending March 81
1912, Augustana realized $21, 23s.57
from the annual tax assessed members
of the synod for educational pur
poses. According to the treasurer's
report for the same period the totaI
cash receipts were s10s,091.99, and

coming during the coming decade.
Augustana College and Theological
Seminary was founded in 1860. at the
time when AugustanA synod was or
gAnizod The school was maintained
in Chicago till 1858. when II was re-
moved TO Paxton. Ill., In 1875 II was
permanently located in Rock Island.
At first the school was known as
Augustana Seminary and the only de
partments were those devoted 10 pre-
rsratory work and theological instruc.
ton. In 1863 the institution was in.
ccrporated under the name OF Angus.
tRnR College and Seminary. In 1865. by
special act Of the legislature a char,
ter was granted This was amended
by the same body In 1869 and the
present name adopted.
Instruction was given in college
classes as early as 1858. but there was
no senior class formed till 1876. In
1887 the conservatory OF music was
ADDED and the following year a bust
meas department was organized. The
normal department followed in 1891
snd In 1895 a school Of art was added
TO the conservatory of music.
The original plan OF the seminar!
Was to have at least three professors
one fer each OF the leading languages
used-svodi Norwegian and Eng
hrh. This plan was not fully realized
rntil 1868. wlel Rev s. L. Harkey

lish language and Rev. A. Wenaas to
that OF the Norwegian. The whole
plan, however, was completely chang,
ed in 1870 when the Norweglans with
Drew and organized a separate synod
nd established aH institution OF their
wn.
The courses of instruction in the
Geological seminary were gradually
nade 20 embrace Two years and from
IA there were two regular classes
n the seminary until 1890, when the
University plan was ADOPTED and the
Instruction Was arranged i'll dlstino
nd independent courses. This plAA
was approved by the synod in 1891.
1he number of courses was first Il,
but has SINCE increased to 20. Ten
departments Of instruction have grad
ually been established in the college
proper. viz: Swedish, English and
philosophy, Latin. Greek. modern
languages, Christianity, history and
political science. biology and geology,
physics and chemistry and mathemat.
les and astronomy.
Swedish and English were provided
for in the original plan Around the
Sw edish chair clustered Christianity
German and the classics; and around
the English chair, history, philosophy
mathematics and the sciences. AS d
rule these subjects were taught in
he language around which they were
grouped. Latin and Swedish were fol
many years taught by the same pro
fessor, but in 1883 Latin was made
separate chair and Swedish and Chris
tianity were united into one chair anC
college proper and one in the prepar
Story department. In 1890 both O
these professors resigned and the tive
subjects were separated into distinc
departments. Greek and German
were likewise united IN one chair 70,
number OF years, but in 1887 tn,
chair OF modern languages was estab

ter was further separated into tn
chair Of biology and geology and tina
Of physics and chemistry in 1883. Tn
chair OF history and political scienc
was established in 1884.

Notice is given elsewhere in this is
sue that the registration books of this
town are now open at the office of the
town clerk, and all who desire to eX-

the year 1912 must have their names
duly and properly enrolled. Under the
registration law voters must register
every year, wherever registration is
necessary. The elections of 1912 will
be important ones, and every elector
should consider it his, or her bounden
duty to express his, or her, preference
for candidates whose names may be
presented at both the primary and gen
eral elections.

mites where he has preached during
his residence in this place. Rev. Course
will keep his name and his work fresh
in the memory of his parishioners. 1t
was largely through his eXertions, re-
duced to actual manual labor, for he
is skilled in the use of edged tools, that
the handsome Presbyterian church in
this place was erected. Besides the
labor performed on the church edifce
he built almost unassisted the neat
dwelling that he has occupied since
making Oroville his home. Rev. Course
will take with him in his new field of
endeavor the respect. good will and
GOOD wishes of many of our citizens
outside OF as well as within the church.
This paper takes great pleasure in
recommending Rev. Course to the res
lents of Waterville, where he is soon

lie spirited and valuable citizen,
kindly. warm hearted pastor, able and
conscientious in the administration of
his churcn work, and most pleasing
and pleasant gentleman to meet in the

BIG GRANGE MEETING.

RIVERSIDE, Wash, Jan. 9-The
meeting of the Okanogan county Po
mona Grange, held in Riverside on
December 80, proved to be one of the
best meetings ever held in the county.
In point of numbers in attendance it
has been surpassed several times, but
in amount and quality of work done
and the fine spirit in which that work
was done, was a source of qualification
to all who were so fortunate as to be
present. 1t was the weather clerk who
was distinctly to blame for the poor
showing in numbers, as the roads es-
pecially on Pogue prairie, were simply
blockaded, and light sprinkle of pa

WILL LOCATE AT OROVILLE.

Rev. Geo.W. W.Elurlbut, who has charge
of the Okanogan county Episcopal
mission, came in Saturday evening
from Spokane, where he had been
spendinsthe holidays with his family,
and held services in the Presbyterian
church. Rev. Hurlbut has made his
headquarters at Brewster for several
months, but having filed on home
stead north of Oroville, near the Brit
ish Columbia line, will take up his res
idence on the land in the spring, and
at odd moments that can be culled
from his missionary work will turn
his hand to tilling the soil. This COM
bination of digging and caring for the
spiritual wants of his scattered par
ishioners will leave mighty little time
on his hands, and he will find no diff
fculty in keeping out of mischief.
