 LEONARD WILLIAM RILEY 
 President 
 
 President Riley was born in Ohio and 
 graduated from Denison University in 1894 
 and from Rochester Theological Seminary 
 in 1897. The degree of Doctor of Divinity 
 was conferred by Denison University in 
 1909. He held pastorates at Lebanon, Ohio, 
 and at McMinnville, Oregon, and was State 
 Superintendent of Missions for Oregon be- 
 fore becoming President of McMinnville 
 College on March 1, 1906. 
 
DEAN EMANUEL NORTHUP 
 Mathematics 
 
 Dr. Northup has served McMinnville Col- 
 lege for thirty-one years. This fact elo- 
 quently testifies to his character and abil- 
 ity. He has remained planted long enough 
 to bring forth abundant valuable fruitage 
 in human lives. He has been a tower of 
 strength to college, church and community. 
 
 This record is naturally expected from 
 one of his scholastic attainments; Colgate 
 University, A. B., 1879; A. M., 1908; Union 
 Theological Seminary, Chicago, B. D., 1883. 
 He wears a Phi Beta Kappa Key. In 1915 
 McMinnville College gratefully bestowed 
 upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of 
 Laws. 
 
 Professor Northup is a born teacher. He 
 does his own thinking. He knows how to 
 make his students do the same. His meth- 
 ods at times may seem severe; in the long 
 run they prove most effective. Graduates 
 respect, honor and love him. His sterling 
 qualities and unyielding loyalty to his con- 
 victions have been a source of strength, 
 not only to his students, but to all who 
 know him. 
 
MISS ISABEL M. GROVER 
 
 History and Social Science 
 
 Professor Grover is our Dean of Women. 
 She has come honestly by this title. Her 
 whole heart centers in the welfare of our 
 girls and also our boys. She is willing- at 
 any time to give up her own pleasure and 
 sacrifice all her own plans for the sake of 
 helping any who are in need of her counsel 
 and sympathy. 
 
 She is thoroly familiar with McMinnville 
 College life and traditions, having graduat- 
 ed here in 1898 with the degree of Bachelor 
 of Arts, and having taught first Latin and 
 then History since that date. 
 
 The year 1901-1902 and the summers of 
 1907 and 1908 were spent studying in the 
 University of Chicago. The past summer 
 was spent at the University of Washington. 
 
 Professor Grover is sincerely devoted to 
 the interests of our young people; is thoroly 
 earnest and conscientious as a teacher, and 
 absolutely faithful and loyal to her Alma 
 Mater and its administration. 
 
 *Since writing the above Professor Grover 
 was called to her reward on September 2, 
 1919, at Seattle, Washington. 
 
MBS. CARRIE CASLER POTTER 
 Voice and History 
 
 Mrs. Potter has made a record consistent 
 as to both time and quality. She has given 
 fifteen years of excellent service to Mc- 
 Minnville College, and has won for herself 
 an enviable place in the hearts of the stud- 
 ents, the Faculty, and the citizens of Mc- 
 Minnville. 
 
 Previous to this she taught five years in 
 Pillsbury Academy, two years in Colgate 
 Theological Seminary, and five years in 
 Bridgeton, New Jersey, Institute. 
 
 Mrs. Potter is a graduate of the New 
 England Conservatory of Music, having 
 received the degree of Bachelor of Music 
 in 1899. Her post-graduate work has been 
 done under Frederick Root, Chicago; Walter 
 Spry, Chicago; Villa M. White, Boston; and 
 Franz X. Arens, New York. 
 
 She is therefore well trained, has had 
 wide experience, and is entirely capable of 
 developing aright the voices of our young 
 people. "Mother" Potter, as she is loving- 
 ly called, reveals always an encouraging 
 spirit and is popular in all the circles of 
 her acquaintance. 
 
GEORGE W. PAYNE 
 
 Latin 
 
 Latin is our basic language. It is not 
 dead but very much alive in the hands of a 
 real teacher. 
 
 Since September, 1906, Professor Payne 
 has made an honest effort to interpret the 
 life of our day in the light of the golden 
 age of ancient Rome. For this work he is 
 qualified not only by a contemplative mind 
 but also by his mental discipline. 
 
 From Hamilton College in 1902 he re- 
 ceived the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and 
 was awarded a Phi Beta Kappa Key; from 
 the same institution in 1905 he received the 
 degree of Master of Arts. His post-grad- 
 uate work was done in Columbia University. 
 
 His first teaching of Latin was done in 
 the Academy at Marietta, Ohio, and was 
 followed by two years in the College at 
 West Lafayette, Ohio. Then he responded 
 to the call of McMinnville College and for 
 eleven years has labored in behalf of her 
 students. 
 
 He is conscientious, earnest, faithful, and 
 worthy of a professorship in a Christian 
 college. 
 
CURTIS PEARRE COE 
 
 Education and Mathematics 
 Registrar 
 
 'One thing at a time" is a sufficient mot- 
 to for most men, but not for Professor Coe. 
 He has a remarkable capacity for hard 
 work. His physical endurance has stood 
 a test which would have put many out of 
 commission. 
 
 Professor Coe came to McMinnville Col- 
 lege in 1908 as Principal of the Commercial 
 Department which was then maintained. He 
 has meanwhile by unusually faithful ap- 
 plication prepared himself for the Chair of 
 Education, in which work he is thoroly 
 up-to-date. 
 
 In addition to various degrees earned in 
 former years Professor Coe has by work 
 in the Summer school secured his Bachelor 
 of Arts- in the University of Washington. 
 He is an excellent student and has much 
 more than average ability as a teacher. 
 
 For several years he has served as Regis- 
 trar of the College in which office his mas- 
 terful manner ard courteous attention have 
 commended him to all. His willingness to 
 serve in any capacity is widely known. 
 
EUGENE STARK GARDINER 
 English 
 
 Professor Gardiner also holds a Phi Beta 
 Kappa Key and by a long- and successful 
 career as a student and teacher has proved 
 his worthiness of it. He is a type of 
 Christian gentleman whose example stud- 
 ents may well emulate. Courteous, genial, 
 sweet-spirited, sympathetic, keenly appre- 
 ciative of all that is excellent in literature, 
 he leads his students onward, unconsciously 
 developing in them a similar taste for that 
 which is best. 
 
 Professor Gardiner secured from Colgate 
 University his A. B., in 1876 and his A. M., 
 three years later. His post-graduate work 
 was done in Crozer Theological Seminary, 
 Chicago Divinity School and the University 
 of Chicago. He taught in both Franklin 
 and California Colleges before coming to 
 McMinnville College in 1910. 
 
EDGAR BATES VAN OSDEL 
 
 Chemistry and Physics 
 
 Professor Van Osdel is the product of a 
 Baptist parsonage and is thoroly acquainted 
 with Baptist history, doctrines and practi- 
 ces. Tho a thoro-going scientist, he in- 
 clines strongly toward conservative posi- 
 tions theologically. He is the teacher of 
 the Conquest Class at the Baptist church, 
 which enrolls the great majority of our 
 students. He is deeply interested in ath- 
 letics and frequently coaches the basket- 
 ball teams. During the war he served as Y. 
 M. C. A. Secretary at Camp Lewis and the 
 University of Oregon. 
 
 Professor Van Osdel's college training 
 was secured at Knox College, from which 
 institution he received his B. A. degree in 
 1894 and his M. A. in 1897. He specialized 
 in Chemistry at the University of Chicago 
 from 1894 to 1897. For the next eleven 
 years he had practical experience as an 
 expert chemist, metallurgist and mining 
 engineer, with headquarters at Spokane, 
 Washington. Since September, 1908, he has 
 been one of McMinnville College's popular 
 professors. 
 
WILLIAM REINHARD FRERICHS 
 
 Greek and German 
 Librarian 
 
 Professor Frerichs graduated from Carth- 
 age College in 1906, with the degree of 
 Bachelor of Arts. Three years later he 
 completed the course at Rochester Theolo- 
 gical Seminary. Three summers, 1913, 
 1914, 1915, he has spent studying at the 
 University of Washington. He had consid- 
 erable experience cataloging in the Roch- 
 ester Seminary Library which prepared 
 him for the efficient work he has done in 
 onr College Library in recent years. 
 
 Professor Frerichs came to McMinnville 
 College in Sentp^b^r, 1U2, and has "made 
 good" in every respect. For exactness, per- 
 sistence and promptness he leaves little to 
 be desired. He has a genius for taking 
 pains. The students find him always help- 
 ful, hopeful and optimistic. 
 
 He exerts in all phases of the life of the 
 college, church and community a most un- 
 obtrusive and helpful influence.

 MISS CAROLINE SHELDON MOORE 
 
 Biolog-y and Geology 
 
 Few women have better proved their ca- 
 pacity for various kinds of hard and effici- 
 ent work than has Professor Moore. She 
 asks no odds of anyone, believing that 
 what has been done she can do. She is 
 both aggressive and progressive; conse- 
 quently industrious and persevering. She 
 is likewise tlioro and enthusiastic, and all 
 this and more in the interests of her stud- 
 ents. 
 
 Professor Moore graduated from the 
 University of Chicago in 1897, and has done 
 graduate work during several summers at 
 the Universities of Chicago and Washing- 
 ton. She taught at Wayland Academy and 
 at Mt. Holyoke College before a break in 
 health compelled her to seek recuperation 
 on a homestead in Washington before com- 
 ing to McMinnville College in 1915. In 1919 
 she has been teaching Biology in the sum- 
 mer school of Wheaton College in Illinois. 
 
CHARLES LEWIS TRAWIN 
 
 Sacred History and Literature 
 Pastor 
 
 Christian Education to be complete re- 
 quires hearty cooperation on the part of 
 college and church in the community. In 
 this respect McMinnville College has much 
 for which to be thankful, since the pastor 
 and members of the local church have as 
 sympathetic an interest in the College as 
 the Faculty and students have in the 
 church. 
 
 Pastor Trawin in addition to caring for 
 a church of over seven hundred members 
 finds time to conduct the courses in Bibli- 
 cal History and Literature. He is admir- 
 ably qualified for this work, being a care- 
 ful student of the Word and earnest and 
 spirited in his manner of presenting its 
 truths. He is theologically reliable and 
 having a personal interest in the religious 
 development of our students is a safe guide 
 for them. 
 
 Pastor Trawin received his Bachelor of 
 Arts from Franklin College in 1896, and 
 graduated from Crozer Theological Semi- 
 nary in 1899. Before coming to McMinn- 
 ville in 1917 he was for eight years Pastor 
 of the First Baptist Church of Boise, Idaho. 
 
CYRIL PULLER RICHARDS 
 
 Preparatory 
 
 The distinction of being the youngest in 
 years and the most recent college graduate 
 of our teaching staff belongs to "Cy" Rich- 
 ards. "Cy' came to McMinnville in 1910 
 and graduated in 1918, having completed 
 both our Preparatory and our Collegiate 
 courses. He is a worthy product of our 
 College. He took the scientific course and 
 received the degree of Bachelor of Science. 
 
 When war work called Professor Van 
 Osdel away for a year Mr. Richards was 
 selected to take charge of his departments. 
 He did this work so well that the Board 
 of Trustees last June elected him to his 
 own place on the Faculty as teacher of 
 certain Preparatory subjects. Genial, sym- 
 pathetic, systematic, with the enthusiasm 
 of youth, he will get results as a teacher 
 which will strengthen our Preparatory De- 
 partment. 
 
MISS MARGARET L. MANN 
 Stenography and Typewriting" 
 
 Stenography and typewriting have proved 
 a valuable stepping stone in the career of 
 
 any who are now in prominent nositions. 
 They are also helpful to studeur n secur- 
 ing notes of lectures and addresses. 
 
 Tho other commercial subjects have been 
 dropped from our curriculum, stenography 
 and typewriting have been retained for 
 these reasons. 
 
 The Gregg system of stenography will 
 be taught the ensuing year and Underwood 
 typewriters will be used as in former years. 
 
 Miss Mann graduated first of all from 
 the High School and from Link's Business 
 College, Boise, Idaho. After practical ex- 
 perience in a lawyer's office she entered 
 McMinnville College and graduated in 1917 
 with the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. 
 During her four years in College and for 
 the two years following she served as Sec- 
 retary to President Riley. 
 
 Quiet, persistent, an excellent student, 
 an indefatigable worker, she brings to this 
 department training and experience which 
 should assure success. 
 
MISS FLORENCE WHYTE 
 
 French and Spanish 
 
 More intimate relations with France and 
 with the many countries to the south of us 
 emphasize the importance of a thoro knowl- 
 edge of both the French and Spanish lan- 
 guages. 
 
 Our new teacher speaks both of these 
 languages fluently. Her parents were New 
 Yorkers, but later went to Mexico where 
 Miss Whyte was born and where the early 
 years of her life were spent. 
 
 Miss Whyte graduated from the Univer- 
 sity of California in 1915, with the degree 
 of Bachelor of Arts. She then became a 
 member of the Faculty of her Alma Mater, 
 during which time she cataloged French 
 and Spanish books and literature for the li- 
 brary. She then rendered a similar service 
 as a member of the Faculty of the Univer- 
 sity of Minnesota. She is highly recom- 
 mended for her scholastic attainments, her 
 good judgment and her sterling Christian 
 character. 
 
GUSTAVE REINHOLD SCHLAUCH 
 
 Philosophy and Public Speaking" 
 
 Many are familiar with the service rend- 
 ered our Government during" the war by 
 such men as Mr. Otto H. Kahn, a native of 
 Germany. A similar valuable service 
 among German-speaking citizens was rend- 
 ered by Professor Schlauch, who was even 
 employed by the United States Government 
 for such work. 
 
 Professor Schlauch was educated in this 
 country, graduating with the B. A. degree 
 from the University of Rochester in 1894 
 and from the Rochester Theological Semi- 
 nary in 1897. He too holds a Phi Beta 
 Kappa Key. He is a scholarly man, thoro 
 as a student, enthusiastic as a teacher. 
 Theologically he is sensibly conservative. 
 Courageous under trials and difficulties, 
 cheerful at all times, energetic and loyal, 
 he makes an addition to our Faculty whose 
 value will become more and more evident 
 as time passes. 
 
DVIISS VERNTTA CLAIRE CORBETT 
 
 Piano and Harmony 
 
 Miss Corbett was born in Vermont. Her 
 home is in Melrose Highlands, Mass., a su- 
 burb of Boston. She has recently spent 
 some time in Colorado. 
 
 Her mother was a well known pianist and 
 organist in Boston and from her Miss Cor- 
 bett received her first instruction in music. 
 Her later teachers were Carl Boermann and 
 John Orth in Piano; Lois C. Elson in The- 
 ory and History; Timothee Adamoski in 
 Ensemble and William Tyler in Harmony 
 and Analysis. She graduated from the New 
 England Conservatory of Music in 1915. 
 Since that date she has taught privately at 
 Melrose Highlands and taken advanced 
 work as teacher and solist under Mr. John 
 Orth. 
 
 Miss Corbett has had a wide experience 
 in arranging programs for concerts, reci- 
 tals and entertainments. 
 
 She is a graduate of the Melrose High- , 
 lands High School and has taken college 
 courses in Psychology, Ethics and English 
 Literature. 
 
MR. CHARLES H. KOPP 
 
 Treasurer 
 
 Mr. Kopf was born in Buffalo, N. Y. He 
 began work as an office boy and later 
 graduated into the position of bookkeeper 
 which he held with the same firm for eleven 
 years. In 1889 he went to Los Angeles 
 where he was cashier of an insurance com- 
 pany for five and one-half years. This was 
 followed by two and one-half years in San 
 Francisco as accountant. Then he went to 
 Portland where he held the position of As- 
 sistant Cashier in the same bank for twelve 
 years. 
 
 Our Treasurer, therefore, has had a long 
 business career and has proved a good fin- 
 ancier. He is careful and reliable, keen 
 and accurate. His judgment is excellent 
 and his decisions always reasonably conser- 
 vative. He has been connected with Bap- 
 tist churches since his early boyhood and 
 has held various responsible positions in 
 them. Our College finances are in good 
 hands. 
 
MISS GRACE ALTHEA PAGE 
 
 Secretary to President 
 Superintendent of Dining- Hall 
 
 Miss Page is from New England and a 
 graduate of the East Maine Conference 
 Seminary, Bucksport, Maine. She took 
 nurses' training in the Maine General Hos- 
 pital, Portland, Maine, and a Business Col- 
 lege course in Minneapolis, followed by a 
 year of combined study and secretarial 
 work at the Moody Bible Institute, Chica- 
 go, and four years as law stenographer in 
 the Courthouse at Tacoma, Washington. 
 For three years she was resident school 
 nurse and instructor in Physiology and 
 Hygiene at Fisk University, Nashville 
 Tennessee. 
 
 She has also served as secretary at Plym- 
 outh Congregational Church, Seattle, as as- 
 sistant to the purchasing agent of the Los 
 Angeles Examiner, and for four years past 
 as secretary to Dr. A. M. Petty at the Bap- 
 tist Headquarters in Portland. 
 
 Her ability, training, experience and gen- 
 ial personality unite in making her a val- 
 uable addition to the working forces of our 
 College. 
 
MISS MARGARET McWHINNIE 
 Caterer 
 
 "We may live without poetry, music and 
 
 art; 
 We may live without conscience, and live 
 
 without heart; 
 We may live without friends, we may live 
 
 without books; 
 But civilized man cannot live without 
 
 cooks." — Lord Lytton. 
 
 The culinary department of any estab- 
 lishment ranks in importance with any oth- 
 er connected therewith and a College is no 
 exception. In Miss McWhinnie we have 
 secured one who has an established repu- 
 tation as a first-class cook. For a long 
 time past she has had entire charge of the 
 Thursday night suppers at The White Tem- 
 ple and has done the cooking for most of 
 the big banquets served at this church. 
 She has also had experience in running a 
 large boarding house. 
 "Of all appeals, altho 
 
 I grant the power of pathos and of gold. 
 Of beauty, flattery, threats, a shilling, No 
 Methods more sure at moments to take hold, 
 Of the best feelings of mankind, which grow 
 More tender as we every day behold 
 T han that all softening, overpowering, knell 
 The tocsin of the soui, the dinner bell." 
 
 — Byron. 
 
JAMES I.. WHIRRY 
 
 Curator of Grounds and Building's 
 
 Our College is fortunate in having se- 
 cured as Curator a Christian gentleman 
 who keenly appreciates the value of educa- 
 tion and who is interested in all its phases, 
 having been for many years a valued mem- 
 ber of our Board of Trustees. 
 
 Brother Whirry was prevented from se- 
 curing an education in college and semi- 
 nary by the failure of his eyes. After grad- 
 uating from Cedar Valley Seminary he lat- 
 er entered Moody's School in Chicago and 
 thence into the ministry in Iowa. 
 
 He came to Oregon in 1901 and during 
 fifteen years proved himself the most ef- 
 ficient Colporter in the employ of the A. 
 B. P. S. Once again his plans were thwart- 
 ed by a nervous breakdown occasioned by 
 strenuous application to a hard task. 
 
 Brother Whirry is setting us a good 
 example of how to make the best of what- 
 ever comes into our lives.

 The Preparatory work of the College cov- 
 ers four years above the eighth grade of 
 the public schools. 
 
 The Conservatory of Music aims to do 
 first-class work. The courses in Voice and 
 Piano lead to a certificate, a diploma or a 
 degree. 
 
 McMinnville College offers pre-medical 
 and pre-engineering courses which can be 
 taken at less expense than is required at 
 the professional schools. They are thoro. 
 
Many have remarked: "McMinnville Col- 
 lege is different." The "difference" is due 
 both to what is encouraged and what is dis- 
 couraged in its life. Resolve that the im- 
 pression of your life shall make it better 
 yet. 
 
 Our courses in education have the ap- 
 proval of the State Board of Education. 
 Upon completing them certificates to teach 
 are issued without further examinations. 
 
 New students should not forget to bring 
 testimonials of good moral character from 
 the principals of the schools or the Past- 
 ors of the churches attended. This is im- 
 portant. 
 
 It is worth while to know Stenography 
 and Typewriting. Plan to take them as 
 early as possible in your course. 
 
 Our Library is cataloged according to 
 the Dewey system. Learn how to use it 
 and other libraries will not be a mystery 
 to you. 
 
 The future greatness of our College does 
 not depend upon the number of the stud- 
 ents, but upon what those students become 
 and accomplish. 
 
 The colors of McMinnville College are 
 purple and cardinal. 
 
 Baptists of the Northwest 
 
 McMinnville College is your institution. 
 Its wholp plan, its purpose, is to serve you 
 and the interests of the great cause so dear 
 to your hearts and the heart of our Lord 
 and Master. The officers and teachers in 
 charge desire yOur suggestions, your kind- 
 ly criticisms, your financial support and 
 your prayers. Without these not all can 
 be done for our young people that should 
 be done.
