Walla Walla College

By E. C. Kellogg

The college has closed a very pleasant and successful year. Members of the faculty have worked together harmoniously, and essentially the same ones continue for the coming year. The young people of this denomination are among the best in the world, and they make excellent students.

Intellectual

It is the continual aim to make the scholarship of high grade. Earnest, careful, thorough work is expected on the part of each student, and comparatively few fall below grade. The commencement was very plain and simple, yet highly instructive and entertaining.

Spiritual

A strong spiritual atmosphere has pervaded the work throughout the year. Teachers and students have worked together for the accomplishment of the most good. Many prayers have been offered by patrons, teachers, and students. Definite things have been asked for, and definite answers have been given. Elder Meade MacGuire was with us at two different times, and his labors were very fruitful. During the year over forty have been baptized and joined the church.

Industries

Good work has been carried on this year in baking, broom making, carpentry, printing, typewriting, sewing, and dressmaking. A few more could have been accommodated in carpentry, but not well in any other industry. There were forty in typewriting and eighty in sewing and dressmaking. An interesting exhibit was made near the close of the year, and a suitable program rendered.

The Field

In all the work of the school, the needs of the great world are kept in mind. Four will make the East Indies their field of labor. Over thirty enter the canvassing work for the summer. As opportunity affords, others will work in various lines—teaching, business, ministerial, etc.

The Outlook.

The prospect for the future is particularly bright. There is a growing interest in the educational work throughout the field. This is especially true in regard to the college work.
