approval of all our students. Nothing has been slighted, and not a word of dissatisfaction, because of
such arrangement, has been heard.
The canvass for students last summer was not as thorough as it was understood it would be; yet I
believe that today your School is more highly cherished by our people, and by the public in general, than
at any previous time in the last 3 years. The Illuminator, a paper published in the interest of the
Institute, now makes its appearance quarterly. Finally, a plan of campaign for the summer of 1899 is
already well prepared, by which it is expected to reach every young person in the Conference (and much
territory outside), who is at all likely to attend any school, and present to him carefully, earnestly, and
conscientiously the advantages offered by Shenandoah Institute. This last year of the 19th century must
be the banner year in the history of the School. Brethren, with your co-operation, it shall be. E. U.
Hoenshel, Principal.
Visiting Committee to Shenandoah Institute (p. 20). We, your committee to Shenandoah
Institute would beg leave to submit the following report: We were present during commencement week,
and were kindly received by the Principal, Prof. E. U. Hoenshel. We were present at some of the
examinations and shown through the Institute building and found everything in good condition. We, as
Pastors of the Conference should do more to encourage the Principal in his work. Respectfully,
submitted, J. F. Snyder.
Permanent Fund (p. 21). The following resolution was adopted: WHEREAS, The up-building
of Shenandoah Institute requires the accumulation of a productive permanent fund for the institution,
and WHEREAS, The plan suggested in a resolution adopted by this Conference a year ago, to raise by
the close of this century an amount equaling $1.00 per member for a permanent support to the School
adopted by this Conference therefore be it: Resolved, (1) That we recommend that an earnest effort be
made this year to reach this good end. (1) That we recommend that the several fields of our Conference
contribute for this purpose the followings sums: Edinburg, $200; Elkton, $250; Harrisonburg, $350;
Staunton, $350; Churchville, $450; Broadway, $250 Singers Glen, $500; Rockbridge, $100; Dayton,

Institute for this purpose. A. P. Funkhouser.
