The next year, 1897, came Jose
phine A. Robinson as Professor o
Mathematics and Dean OF Women
continuing until her marriage IL
1911.
In 1893 we recognized the Academ,
by appointing a Dean, a man vitally
bound up in Berea's history, Mile
T.. Marsh. We also secured a thort
man in Woodwork who remained
seven years, Charles A. King.
Professor Todd dying in 1893, W,
appointed our first full Librarian
one who had been assistant under hi.
direction and continued until heI
marriage three years later, MARI
Pasco Gould.
In this year also, 1893, we appoint
ed our first permanent nurse and
built for her a tiny hospital. This
was Florence Morrow, soon followed
by Lucy van HOOke.
The great event, however, was the
coming OF the former President oil
the Kansas Agricultural College tc
Berea in 1899 as Vice President and
Professor OF English. This was DR.
George T. Fairchild, brother Of Be-
rea's former President. His con-
siderate and able management en-
abled President Frost TO dismiss
home cares and do the best field
work Of his life. Ur. Fairchild died
in surgical operation in 1901.
In 1899 came Miss Morrow who
has served in several important
home science positions.
In 1900 we appointed another Kan.
sas man as Professor Of History and
on Fairchild's death he became Vice
President until he left for PASTORAL
work in 1903. This was DR.. Howard
NJ. Jones.
In this year Joseph Lee and Her.
bert A. Wilder OF Boston were added
TO the board Of Trustees and in the
following year DR.. Grant Of New
York. and William Belknap who was
succeeded by his son in 1914.
In this year also came the first
man as Dean Of the Normal School.
John w. Dinsmore. who gave i'm
portant service for twelve years.
But the distinctive movement in
1900 was the calling Of Raymond TO
give his entire time as Superinten-
dent OF Extension Work. He con-
tinued three years and did work
for which we have found no equal
successor.
In 1901 came our first full time
Secretary. the genial Will C. Gam
BILE. who remained ten years: and
Miss Virginia Dox. who helped In
field work until 1907. To the Foun-
dation School came Miss Ellen R.
Raymond.
In 1902 came 10 the College Miss
Mary +. Welsh and 10 the Normal
School Charles d. Lewis.
In 1903 the Office OF Registrar was
set up in charge Of a special worker.
Miss Clark. who died the next year
and was succeeded by Miss Ethel
F.. Todd as Assistant TO Professor
Marsh. We had been securing pre-
paration for a young engineer who
began work at this time. Mr.. George
q. Dick. and for a teacher Of fine
Woodwork. Mr.. Noah May. Miss
Corwin began her work as Librarian
and a new instructor in Science ap-
peared. Christian F. Rumold.
In 1904 we first undertook the sup
port Of a physician. DR.. Cowley; and
DIR. Thomson was added 10 the
Board Of Trustees. II thus appears
that there are here today sixteen
persons who were connected with
Berea in 1904.
Such was our momentum OF pro-
gress when we were met by the hos
tile legislation in Kentucky.
Third Period-Hostile
Legislation
The third period was that Of ad-
justment to Hostile Legislation.
Every school, no matter how nation
al in its scope, has to be subject
TO the state in which IL happens TO
be located. Berea is subject to Ken
lucky.
We are recounting the events Of
the last quarter Of a century but
here we must go back to earlier
Up TO the Civil War,
our country was part slave and part
free. Berea was an opponent OF
before the war and after the
war Berea has continued to fight
the shadow Of slavery which is that
undemocratic and unAmerican SEN
timent called caste" Caste Is a Pc
