On Wednesday, September 19,3804, the College Was open for instruction In the mansion formerly owned by tho Rev. Hugh McMillan, B. D., where, naif a century ago he conducted an academy from Which m any noted persons graduated. The accommo­ dations not being sufficient for the needs of tho growing ms'tltutson, in tho second year th e present main building was erected’on a beautiful campus of nine acres. Both the building and the campus are the gifts of generous friends, dowment fund was started Ham Gibson, of Cincinnati, The .pit­ hy Wtl« WhO be­ queathed twenty-five thousand doL lars for thispurposo in memory of his father, Peter Gibson, for many years a ru ling elder of the F irs t Relormed Presby terian Church of Cincinnati. This fund has steadily increased un­ til now th e college has an endow­ ment fund o f $70*000. The Alford Memorial Gymnasium was p re ­ sented to the college a s a Christmas gift in 1902 by Mr. W. J . Alford i* honor of his parents, Rev. John A l­ ford, D. D., and Mrs. Mary B .

This condition was fully met and the beautiful lib ra ry building of brick and cu tg lone was completed m 1908. The late George W. Harper, of Cedarville, was one of the most generous supporters of the college, paving given six thous and dollars just a few years before his death as the nucleus of a found­ ation for Instruction in economics and sociology, A movement has been on foot for some time to erect a new science hall and a. women’s dormitory, and these are possibli ties of the near future. Movement For Oiled Streets. Tiia dust the past- week- has not only been a nuisance to business men bu t a great detriment td the general health ot the community.
