SUMMARY OF STUDENTS. 



The college lost a very useful man in the resignation of Chester L. 

 Brewer, Prof, of Physical Culture and Director of Athletics. Mr. Brewer 

 was with the college about seven years and during that time he brought 

 his department to an unusually high degree of efficiency. His quiet and 

 sane method of dealing with students won for him a warm place in 

 their affections, and his high standard of morals as exemplified in his 

 daily life has no doubt had n lasting influence for good on the lives 

 of a large number of young men. He resigned to accept a similar posi- 

 tion with greater responsibility and a much larger salary in the State 

 University of Missouri. 



Mr. John F. Macklin, a University of Penn. man, who has had charge 

 of athletics in the Pawling School. New York, succeeded Mr. Brewer 

 in January and has already given ample evidence of his fitness for 

 the position. 



The needs of the college are much the same as set forth in previous 

 reports. Our library, on account of lack of room, does not render half 

 the service to the student body that it should, to say nothing of the 

 constant danger of fire. 



The college has no meeting place for students except the old chapel 

 and the armory. The chapel will seat about two hundred fifty people 

 or less than twenty per cent of the student body. The armory is needed 

 every day for other purposes as it serves for a drill hall, gymnasium and 

 Dlace for social afi'airs. It requires considerable work to make the 

 x)om ready for a meeting. Because of the lack of a suitable auditorium
