LINDENWQQD COLLEGE
AN OLD INSTITUTION
In 1831 the School Was For
mally Opened in a I jog
House.
HAS GROWN RAPIDLY
Equipment Is Modern and
Location Ideal Educational
Standing High.
The Lindenwood College for Women,
located at St. Charles, Mo., Is the
oldest institution of its kind west of
the Mississippi River. In the earlier
part of the past century Major George
C. Sibley of the United States Army,
with his wife, Mary Easton Sibley,
were stationed in the northeastern
part of the state near St. Charles. As
early as 1820 to 182S the subject of
education was upon their hearts and
120 acres of land acquired was given
by Mrs. Sibley to establish a school for
the higher education of joung ladies.
In 1831 the school was formally open
ed in a log house. Students came
from all parts of the country to Lin
denwood, which was so named by its
founders on account of the forest of
linden trees in which it was located.
Growth of College.
The college continued to grow until
a new dormitory was needed. In 1869
a new building, known as Sibley Hall,
was ded-cated. In 1881 and 1886 ad
ditions were made to Sibley Hall,
which made it the large structure it is
today. The present college campus
contains many new buildings erected
in recent years, the latest being But
ler Hall, which was dedicated February
18, 1915. This building is pronounced
by school men as the finest dormitory
for a women's college in the south
west. The buildings on the campus
today are Sibley, Jubilee and Butler
dormitories, a Conservatory of Music,
Science Hall. Art Pottery, Dean's
Home, central heating plant, gym
nasium and natatorium in connection
with Butler Hall.
The most modern plumbing is to
ho found in all the dormitories. Jubi
lee and Butler Hall have hot and cold
running water in each room. Tub and
shower baths are furnished for all the
students. In its dormitory accommo
dation few colleges offer equal ad
vantages. Physical Advantages.
The campus and surrounding
country affords unique advantages for
outdoor exercise, cross-country walks,
and outings for study of Botany are
taken in the spring and Fall. Tennis
courts and volley ball courts are in
constant use in reasonable weather.
A training instructor is employed for
outdoor sports and an athletic in
structor for gymnasium. A swimming
teacher is in charge of the swimming
pool.
The health conditions are most ad
mirable. The college is situated at
the highest point in St Charles and Is
free from malarial conditions. Sani
tary conditions are ideal.
The new water mains stretched
across the campus by the City of St.
Charles give an abundant supply
of water for all purposes. Drinking
water is furnished from a double sys
tem of filtration.
Educational Standing.
The college affords something more
than physical advantages. It offers
efficient courses In Art and Sciences,
Music, Art, Expression, Home Econo-
' mics.
Articulated with the University of
Missouri it is also accredited by the
best colleges and universities in the
country. Every department is headed
.by a teacher well qualified, a gradu
ate of an approved college or universi
ty which meets the approval of the
Missouri University authorities. It
is recognized by the State Department
of Education, which issues a three
years' certificate to graduates of the
College. This entitles the holder to
teach in the public schools of Mis
souri without further examinations for
three years.
The Conservatory of Music is es
pecially worthy of mention.
Prof. Walter R. Gerak, pupil of the
famous teachers of Europe, John
Clark King, D'Aublgne De Reszkl and
Sbriglia is at the head of the Voice
Department
Miss Edna Hanna, pupil of the best
pianists of Europe, is at the head of
the Piano Department Prof. George
Cibulka, piano teacher of St. Louis, is
a teacher in this department, as is
also Miss Catherine E. Sutherland, pu
pil of Prof, and Mrs. Stlllman Kelly.
Lindenwood College is now enter
ing upon a new era of its history.
Backed by Col. James Gay Butler, the
mult-millionaire philanthropist it is
Its purpose to become to the west
what the great schools for women are
are to the east. Situated only 13 miles
from St. Louis, which is accessible
every thirty minutes by electric cars,
it has what is so essential to the
modern women's colleges, the privi
leges of a large city, with its art mu
seums, libraries, orchestras, operas,
(theaters and the advantages for study,
research and recreation of suburban
Llife.

always been a right that could not be
denied a man.
