CHANGE OF ADMINISTRATION. -- - At the mid-year meeting of the Board of Trustees of the College, held in Jan. 1903, Pres. H. L. Boardman resigned the presidency to take effect at the end of the current school year, June 3o, 1903, being the close of seven years of service in this capacity. At a special meeting of the Board held May 1st, 1903, Prof. Arthur M. Brumback, head of the Department of Sciences in the college, was unanimously elected to the presidency of the college. He accepted the position and enters upon his work as president, July I, 1903.
The election of Prof. Brumback to the presidency has given the greatest satisfaction to the friends and patrons of the college without exception. He is well known to the institution, having been for seven years professor of Sciences in the college. As a teacher he has exhibited the best ability; and as a scholar, executive, and Christian gentleman he leaves nothing to be desired.
Arthur M. Brumback was born in 1869 at Boise, Idaho. He graduated from the High School of that city in 1886, and from Denison University, at Granville, Ohio, with the degree of A. B. in 1892. He was married in 1893 and taught in Boise High School during a part of 1894.
He was principal of Grace Seminary at Centralia, Wash., 1894-1896, from which position he came, in the fall of 1896 to the professorship of Sciences in McMinnville College. Here he taught consecutively for six years. He was granted a leave of absence for the year 1902-3 which was spent in the further prosecution of his studies at the University of California, from which institution he received the degree of Master of Arts at the close of his year's work.
It thus appears that the new president of the college is a western man by birth and training, in this regard being peculiarly well fitted for the administration of a western college. McMinnville College has made healthy advancement during the past seven years. This has been due, in no small degree, to the efficient service of Professor Brumback. The outlook for the future of the college under the leadership of President Brumback is very auspicious.
