A N alphabetical list of members of the faculty of Mount Morris Col- lege during the last 30 years of the school's existence shows an astonishing number of names of professors who as a general rule stayed only for short periods. Perhaps this is explained by the fact that the College was not finan- cially able to pay fancy salaries and these teachers stayed only until more lucrative positions were available else- where.

THIS COMMUNITY GYMNASIUM was built in 1932 at a cost of approximately $50,000. It was erected by Mount Morris College to take the place of the gymnasium which was destroyed by fire in 1931. Kable Brothers Company donated $25,000.00 toward the building and the citizens of Mount Morris and friends of the college donated the balance. This building has a large gymnasium
floor and stage, with a swimming pool and locker room in the basement. After the college closed, the building became the prop- erty of Kable Brothers Company but was later donated to the Village of Mount Morris, together with a strip of land running from Seminary Ave. to Wesley Ave.
