Biederwolf, of Monticello, Ind. as trustees, have bought the property of Winona college, organized eight years ago, and ha’ve announced extensive plans for reorganization of the school. Dr. Jonathan Rigdon has tendered his resignation, effective Sept. 1, as head of the school. Harold Lawrence, of Earlham college, formerly dean of Winona college, has been selected to resume his former position, and already has begun selecting instructors for next year. When the school is opened in the fall it is expected to have an endowment of at least $200,000, and under the reorganization plans arrange ments are going forward rapidly to place the college on a sound financial basis. Special attention will be given in the college to instruction in science, education and Bible 'study.- The International Association of Evangelists, of which Billy Sunday, Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman and many other noted evangelists are members, has taken an interest in the college and expect to help it develop as a great center for the teaching of evangelistic work.
