27. 1900 Reports
Officers of the Conference (p. 2). Trustees of Shenandoah Institute: C. M. Strickler, MD,
(1902), Pres., G. P. Hott, A.M., (1903), Sec., J. N. Garber (1902), A. S. Hammack (1902), J. C. S. Myers
(1901), W. E. Whitesel (1903), G. B. Fadeley (1901), A. P. Funkhouser, A.B., (1901), S. K. Wine,
A.M., (1903). Visiting Committee to Shenandoah Institute: S. A. Crabill and L. O. Bricker.
Excerpts of the Report of the Committee on Education (p. 11). …Resolved, (1) That we
greatly appreciate the work and influence of our own school, Shenandoah Institute, and pledge the
worthy faculty our sympathy and support. (2) That we learn with delight of the continued prosperity of
Lebanon Valley College; that we assure her of our willingness to help her in the noble work of education
in every way we can. (3) We believe Union Biblical Seminary abundantly worthy of our support in the
special work of theological training, and advise all our young men preparing for the ministry to seek her
training if possible. J. C. S. Myers.
Report of Shenandoah Institute (p. 12). Dear Brethren: Education ceases not to be the
watchword of civilized nations—in fact, true education is the chief factor in bringing about civilization
in any country. Where mind is there should be development. That this development may be most
successfully done necessitates the establishment and maintenance of schools. Of the many schools of
worth in our land, there is probably none in which you are so interested as in Shenandoah Institute.
Your interest is here because it was your money that established it; it was your men who first named it;
and some of you some of your children and some of your friends have received help and inspiration
from its teaching. Today the influence of your prayers and help is being felt in many States.
According to the stated plan of one year ago, the Valley counties and portions of West Virginia
were thoroughly canvassed for students. In this canvass, the ministers showed their loyalty to
Shenandoah Institute by giving the representative a cordial reception to their homes and fields of labor,
and also by making special effort to reach all prospective students within the bounds of their respective
charges. This is highly gratifying to the management of your institution of learning. It is known to us
that the school sentiment of a large territory is turning steadily and most surely toward Dayton.
The teaching force of the Literary department is the same as last year, with the addition of Rev.
A. J. Secrist, who has been given a few classes. The Music department, now under the direction of Prof.
J. H. Ruebush,79 shares in the general prosperity of the School—a very large percent of the total
enrollment devoting at least some attention to music. Our Fall Term attendance numbered 77; Winter
Term, 80; and our present term attendance is already 98, with prospects of an addition of 10 or 15 in the
79 Prof. J. H. Ruebush returned to Shenandoah Institute after a 5-year absence.
