New Faculty Members.
DIR. c. Y. Gilliland will again be at
Dakota Wesleyan. This news has
caused great rejoicing among the
friends of the university. DR.. Gill;
land resigned from the faculty in
1871 and for the past two years has
been president of Carleton College at
Pennington. Mo. This period spent in
administrative work will prove very
profitable to the university. He will
assist President Seaman in similar
services here. He also viii nave the
chair of history, which no longer Is
connected with the department OF
social science,
The department of English and
public speaking have now been sep.
arated. Professor Clyde Tull will

Marion, Ind. and is a graduate of
Depauw university. The year of 1906

/ high school. For two years he was in
Harvard university as a graduate
student and there obtained an A. NJ.
degree. Additional teaching eXper-
fence came to him in the two years
at the university of Idaho, where he
was both instructor and associate
professor. The following twelve
months was passed overwhelmingly
in study at oxford. At Depauw he

was especially brilliant in scholastic
work. 1t is considered that an eXcep-
tiOnally well-fitted man has been Sc
cured in him for Dakota Wesleyan.
The univerSity's department of
pab1ic speaking has been rendered
famous by Professors L%.ardner, Hardy
and Dalgety,-all of whom are now
numbered among the faci ,ty of North
western University. Prof. Dalgety
who has headed the department the
last two years will be succeeded by a
graCuate of both Northwestern uni
versity and the Cumnock School of
Oratory, Prof. j. Manley Phelps. His
record is one of remarkable promise.
: AT Northwestern he was the winner
of the Bragdon prize debate in 1910,
and a member of the debating team
which defeated Michigan in 1911. The
following year he was awarded
second place in the national temper
, ance o%ratorical contest in which over
forty colleges and universities we're
represented. He has been on the lee
ture platform repeatedly during the
last three years. 1t is probable that
Wesyelan will enjoy a year unparal-
Ileled before in the advancement of de
batting and oratorical activities. Prof.
Phelps is also a musician of note,

place of Prof. Gustav Peterson, is
Prof. n. p. Patterson. His native
state is Massachusetts and he is a

siey% orchestra. In his last year he won
the senior prize in philosophy, after
his graduation in 1908 he taught in
the high school of Kingston. Penn,
and in the Moody school at Mt. Her
