1931 Bethany Daisy: Staff pages (pages 13-28)

This is part two of my ongoing series of pictures and transcriptions of the 1931 Bethany Daisy that belonged to my great grandma Frances Elsie Caroline Gustafson. This part will focus on the staff pages, and while my great grandma did not get signatures from all the staff or even most of the staff, she did get notes from a few.

1881---1931 
BETHANY College is fifty years old. From 
a small beginning the institution has de- 
veloped to what it is today ; two fully accredited 
colleges, the College of Arts and Sciences and 
the College of Fine Arts. 
The founder of the college was Rev. Carl 
Aaron Swensson who served as president from 
1881 until his untimely death in 1904.
