Spencer Chapel

Description

The dedication ceremony for Spencer Memorial Chapel took place February 18th, 1923. Members of the college, community, and college presidents from around the area came to the dedication ceremony to &quot;give congratulations and share in each others' rejoice&quot;. During the dedication ceremony, words of appreciation were given by: T.J. Neiswanger, President of the Chamber of Commerce; L.S. Faust, President of the Oskaloosa Ministerial Association; Charles O. Whitley, Superintendent of the Iowa Yearly Meeting; B.B. Watson, President of the Penn College Board of Management; and Vern W. Conover, President of the Senior Class. Mrs. Spencer also spoke saying, &quot;One of the greatest pleasures of my life has been the building of this chapel in the memory of my dear husband who had for a long time had a deep interest in the college and in the upbuilding of our young people and the erection of a chapel had been the subject of fireside conversation. The greatest desire of my heart is that there will never be a gathering within these walls but that at least one heart will be touched as to lead it into the cleaner and brighter pathway and thus contribute to the upbuilding of the world. May the Lord be with you and bless you, make His face to shine upon you and give you peace and pleasure in the noble work you are doing.&quot; At the end of the ceremony, the President of Penn College, Edwin McGrew gave the Dedication Day Address. This dedication ceremony marked the beginning of the celebration of Penn College's 50th Anniversary.
