Other Business (pp. 16-17). Whereas, the Executive Committee of Shenandoah Institute has
asked the labors of Rev. J. E. Hott, in the interest of the Institute, and inasmuch as the stationing
committee have assigned him this work, we pledge him our support and cooperation in his labors as
agent of the Institute.
June 1889 Shenandoah Institute Graduates: C. W. Canan and Lucy G. Hedrick (scientific course).
17. 1890 Reports
Officers of the Conference (p. 2). Trustees of Shenandoah Institute—George P. Hott, J. W.
Howe, C. P. Dyche, S. Burtner, J. N. Fries, E. Ruebush, J. E. Hott, J. H. Fleming, and Michael Hinkle;
Visiting Committee to Shenandoah Institute—Rev. W. F. Gruver and Rev. J. B. Chamberlain .
Report of the Committee on Education (p. 12). Consecrated knowledge, in its practical
application to the duties of life, is a power for good. A mind trained to recognize the Creator in his
works and in his revelation—is a blessed possession. Ignorance is an evil, in many cases inexcusable.
God has ordained that the intellectual faculties should be developed, and has put it into the hearts of men
to devise means for its accomplishment. Institutions for mental and moral training have been opened for
the benefit of the young of our country. In the educational institutions of our Church we see the master-
wheel which must, in the time to come, push forward the machinery of the Church. For the good
already accomplished we would be thankful, and for the encouragement and furtherance of the work we
would resolve as follows: (1) That in Union Biblical Seminary we recognize an efficient helper to the
Christian minister, and pray the blessings of our Father to rest graciously upon it. (2) That we seek to
increase the funds accruing to the Seminary from our conference. (3) That we hail with delight every
effort made by Lebanon Valley College for increasing her facilities and extending the borders of her
usefulness. We would recognize the benefits coming from her to the young people of our own
conference. (4) That our attachment for Shenandoah Institute, the school within our own conference, is
still unbroken, and that we will continue to labor and to pray for its success and extended usefulness.
(5) That we observe the second Sunday in May as Educational Day, in which contributions may be
received and be applied to Shenandoah Institute or Lebanon Valley College, as the donors may desire.

Second Report of Shenandoah Institute (pp. 13-14). In compliance with the requirements of
this body, I submit the following official report of Shenandoah Institute. The scholastic year 1888-89
closed with a total enrollment of 110 in all departments. The total enrollment for the previous year was
84, which was the fullest attendance had up to that time.
The present scholastic year [1889-90] began with the Faculty unchanged, except that the
department of Primary English was given to Miss Florence A. Fries of Winchester, Va., and that of
Penmanship to Mr. I. P. Fallow of North Carolina. Mr. E. W. McMullen in Mathematics, Prof. J. N.
Fries in the Classical Studies, and Prof. J. H. Ruebush in the Department of Music are each, so far as
known to me, giving entire satisfaction. The board at its annual session last June made no material
change in the management of the Institute. The attendance the current year has been, so far,
encouraging. To the present date the total enrollment is 105; and it is confidently expected that with the
additions of the Spring Term the enrollment will show a handsome increase over last year.
The People’s Educational Quarterly, which was published by the Faculty, has been combined
with the Musical Million, which is issued monthly, and is known as the Musical Million and
