McKinlay succeeded to tho presidency of. the instituticn and management of the curriculum iu 1895, remaining m charge for a year, when lie was succeeded, in the fall ot 3S9G, by the present head of the Insti tution Rev.

Vance, now or ponuac, 111.; Miss Boughton, now of Fieport, 111.; Miss Lola Flshburn, now ot Portland. Before the end of the school year the enrollment had reached 117, and the increase in the enrollment, year by year, has been in a steady ratio ever Fince. Last year it reached 221 which number will probably be ex ceeded by this year's enrollment. Mr. Forbes insists that special men tion be made of the value of Professor W". W. Silver, his chief assistant from the time Mr,- Silver became one of the Taculty in 1897 until ho left here in 1900.
