PROF. E. J. HIBBARD, who has succeeded Prof. E. A. Sutherland as president of Walla Walla College, gives these items in the College Reporter concerning teachers:
"In the place of Mrs. Sutherland, who has served the college so efficiently and faithfully in the past, but who now necessarily disconnects from us, we have fortunately secured the services of Miss Luella Knapp, a graduate of the Portland University, who is now assistant principal of Gomcher Academy. This lady has espoused the cause of truth, which we all love, within the past year; and, without knowing of any definite opening for the future, refused to compromise her faith for her position. Some leading brethren being acquainted with her, she was recommended to the board here, and was elected to a position on the college faculty for the ensuing year. Miss Riley has been called to a position in the Healdsburg College, and her place will be supplied by Mr. J. A. Derby, one of the class of '97 in Battle Creek College. He will also teach the Latin classes in the college, and probably a line of science study. Professor and Mrs. Droll, also, have been called to fill vacancies in the Healdsburg College caused by the removal of Professors Howe, Howell, and others to other fields of labor."
