In June, 1877, the Ohio Wesleyan Female College was incorporated as a department of the uni versity. For the sake of uniformity in the classification of students those pursuing the literary course have been classed in the above table under the heading "Ohio Wesleyan Female College." According to the last quinquennial catalogue of the university one thousand and ninety students have been graduated. This number is less than one-tenth of the students whose names have been enrolled on the books of the institution. While this percentage of graduates is small as compared with eastern institutions, it must be remembered that a large part of the enrollment has been in the preparatory and art and other short courses. Many of those who have been enrolled on the books as actual matriculants in the collegiate department have possessed slender means and have been obliged to support themselves wholly or in part by their own manual or intellectual labor and have been financially unable to complete the course. It is not possible to estimate rightly the educational work and influence of a western college by looking at the list of its graduates alone, and perhaps with no other college would such an estimate, based on such examination, be less correct than with Ohio Wesleyan University. Many have attained what may fairly be called a liberal education who have not been able to remain until gra iuation. The total number of graduates from 1845 to 1885 has been 1,090, of whom the classical course includes 862 young men and 16 young women, the latter having graduated from this course for the first time in 1879. The graduates from the scientific course number 78 young men and 5 young women, and from the literary course 129 young women. BUILDINGS. The original hotel building on the lands purchased for the university was remodeled and adapted so far as possible to the needs of the insti tution. Since its ownership by the university it has been known as Elliott Hall. For a number of years it was the only building in the possession of the university. The lack of a chapel was seriously felt as soon as the number of students increased, as there was no room in Elliott Hall large enough to serve as an assembly room for the eutire body of students. As soon as the need for the new building became imperative, an appeal was made to the church for funds with which to erect a chapel, and the response was such that in 1852 the building was completed and dedicated. It was named "Thomson Chapel" in honor of the president and contained besides the chapel several recitation rooms. From 1859 till 1873 the chapel room was abandoned for religious exercises and was fitted up to receive the large cabinet of natural history which had been purchased for the university. During these years chapel exercises were held in the Methodist Episcopal Church in the city and in one of the large lecture rooms of the university. In 1853 Mr. William Sturges, of Putnam, Ohio, offered the university a large donation for a library on condition that within a year $15,000 should be secured for the erection of a library building. Again a successful appeal was made to the church and friends of the university, |
