Campbell, president of Irving College and Music Conservatory, of the sale of that institution to-day, including the home of the president.

At that time Washington y Irving was in the midst of his fame t , and this suggested the name. Irving was an interested member of the board j of trustees until the time of his death. . The Rev. A. G. Marlatt was the first c president of the institution and died | in office in January. 1.563. He was • succeeded by the Rev. Thompson o. , Ege. who served the college for nine- , teen years. Mrs. Mary L. Kessler was third president and Dr. E. E. Campbell the fourth. He assumed his duties on July 1, , IS!'-. and will celebrate his twenty lifth year of administration at the ap- . proaching commencement, which will i>e the sixtieth anniversary of the col lege. Efforts are being made to have J all classes represented at the next com- ' mencement. During Dr. Campbell's administra-| J tion Columbian Hall was built in 1893. 1 also Music Hall. In 1901. and the art studio and recitation building a year ': or two later. In addition to this' four acres of ground in the rear of the college was purchased, which now , constitutes a beautiful campus, hav- | ing tennis courts and space for other 1 outdoor sports, and on which is built 1 the commodious residence of the presi- 1 dent. y The standard of the various courses s of instruction has been raised from time to time during this adminis- ' tration until Irving College is ree- 1 ognized throughout Pennsylvania and 1 other States as doing a thorough work ' of superior character. Courses are * j offered in the regular college course * ' leading to the bachelor of arts degree. 1 Irving is widely known for the music i I department, which includes piano, vio- I' lin. pipe organ and voice, with full theoretical course. There are also < courses In art. elocution, oratory, and. ' during the present scholastic year, a ( standard course in domestic science 1 has been inaugurated.
