The Resignation of Miss McElwain.
Prof. Adams has had actual experience in inter-collegiate
debating and is especially assigned to take charge of debat

debating lines is self evident and with a specially selected
teacher to take charge of this line of work we hope for
success.
Maurice J. Babb, Instructor in Mathematics, was a stu
dent at Juniata College, from whence he entered West
Chester State Normal School, graduating from this institu
tion and also pursued post graduate work at the same place.
Was a member of the class of 1896 at Haverford.
Prof. Babb taught six years in public schools, two of
which were spent as Principal of Morton High School and
one year as Assistant Principal of the Dowingtown High
School. Hater became Instructor at West Chester, Professor
of Higher Mathematics at Williamsport Dickinson Seminary
four years. Occupied a similar position at Bellefonte Acad
emy one year. In 1901 resigned the Supervising Principal
ship of Oxford School to come to State.
THE RESIGNATION OF MISS McELWAIN.

in which we held him.
In this issue of the Lance we are again sorry to an
nounce the lesignation of a person whose interest in the
well-being of the students is not paralleled at this place.
Miss McElwain, to whom we refer, was called to State Col
lege in 1883 as instructor and lady principal and has since
