MOUNT MORRIS COLLEGE REPORT President's Report of M. M. C.
The past school year (1915-1916) has been one of new experi- ences for those in whose keeping Mount Morris College has been placed. Perhaps never before in the history of the school, have such great changes taken place in the faculty as last year, when six strong men, including the President, Business Manager, and those who have been connected with the institution for a number of years stepped out, and it was necessary to fill these vacancies with new men. It fell to the lot of the new President to fill ten vacancies in the faculty. This alone was a big job, at least if it were to be done well.
We are told that whenever the Lord needs a man, he prepares one for the place, and we thoroughly believe the Lord had our problems in mind for many years and raised up men and women who were just ready for the work when the opening presented itself. For, of the ten vacancies on the faculty which it was neces- sary to fill, eight were filled by members of the Church of the Brethren. Of these eight, five were ministers of the Gospel, and, never before in the history of this institution has the faculty ranked as high in scholastic attainments as during the past school year. At present the faculty consists of sixteen professors and seven as- sistants. The number of students enrolled during the past year,
269
MINUTES
including the Short Course students, was four hundred and nine. These came to us from twelve different States and three foreign countries. Fifty-three per cent of these were members of the Church of the Brethren. The remainder of them were affiliated with various other churches .. This last fact speaks well for the institution in that it has the power to draw from outside sources.
Most of our constituency outside our own people patronize the institution on account of its high moral and religious atmosphere, as well as on account of our high scholastic standards.
During the past year a resolution has been passed by the Board of Trustees, granting free tuition to all taking regular Bible work, and in addition to this, that one-half tuition be given to all minis- ters taking the regular literary course. This will mean a large financial shortage to the institution but we believe that the church will make good any deficit created thereby.
The prospects for the coming year are very bright and when we consider that we now have a united faculty, a boosting student body, a loyal, energetic board of trustees, and a splendid spirit for college education in our respective State Districts, we believe that the outlook for Mount Morris College should be most gratifying to those who love her. Our great need at present is the $200,000 en- dowment to place the institution in the A class of colleges, accord- ing to the recommendations of our General Educational Board. It is the policy of the present management of the institution to de- velop as rapidly as possible the Collegiate and Agricultural depart- ments, and to ever remain a typical representative of our founder, the Church of the Brethren.
Respectfully submitted, J. S. Noffsinger, President.
