Book excerpt: Excerpt from Garrett Biblical Institute Semi-Centennial Celebration: May Fifth to Ninth, Nineteen Hundred Six Garrett Biblical Institute completed its fiftieth year in May, 1906. That year opened auspiciously with the largest company of students ever enrolled. Trustees and Faculty planned to close it with the most noteworthy celebration in the history of the school. On the 23rd of November, 1855, her friends were startled with the news of the death of Eliza Garrett. Her last act was to confirm to the incorporation of Garrett Biblical Institute the munificent bequest intended for its endowment and support. The act of incorporation had been approved Feb. 15, 1855, while Mrs. Garrett's will bears date of Dec. 2, 1853. But a theological seminary conducted by Dr. J ohn Dempster was started in 1855, with the co-operation of a committee consisting of J ohn Clark, Philo J adson, Orrington Lunt, John Evans, and Grant Good rich. This school, to whose support Mrs. Garrett had contributed generously, was transferred to the trustees of Garrett Biblical Institute in 1856, and in May of the same year the Institute was officially recognized by the General Conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church. The property bequeathed by Mrs. Garrett was estimated at the time to be worth In spite of the great fire and of financial vicissitudes this property has increased greatly in value through the careful management of the trustees and the liberality of friends of the Institute. Heck Hall and Memorial Hall have been erected, and a large library has been created; J ohn Dempster's noble and notable faculty of three has ex tended to the present faculty with its numerous departments covering every discipline necessary to the modern minister of the gospel.
