Erskine College of the Endowment
Fund.

The Rev. W. r. lie. phil, the en-
crgetic and efficient agent is now can
vassing our District in behalf of the
Endowment Fund Of Erskine College.
The College is located in our midst
and is known by reputation to all OF
our citizens. 1t has been in succcssfi !
operation for nearly thirty years, and
can exhibit a past record of which
she may well be proud. Her gradu.
ates are scattered throughout the
length and breadth of the South, are
bearing their full share of labor and
responsibility.
"The Faculty of the College at pro-
sent consists Of Rev. r. c.. Glier, D.
D., President ; Rev. J. p. Prcssly, D.
D., Professor Of Greek; Rev. j. N.
Young, Professor Of Mathematics W.

Professor Of History and Bellies Let
tres-all experienced teachers, and all
Southern men.
"Thc Endowment Fund secured for
the Colleges before the war, was in a
great measure lost by that disas-
trons conflict. The A. gent for the
College, is now attempting to OBJ
tain an endowment for limited time.
and earnestly appeals to the friends of
Education and Of the South to lend q
helping hand.
"Those who subscribe and pay twen-
!ty dollars per year, for fve years, will
be entitled to send one son or ward
(sohite) free Of tuition, for the said five
years; or five students for one year,
by paying up the whole subscription.
Donations to the Endowment Fund,
large or small, will be thankfully re-
ceived. Tho South needs learned men
to fill important stations, and if she
does not sustain her own institutions
for the benefit Of her own sons, she
must send them to tho North to be
trained, or she must abandon the cdu
cation of her own sons and import
learned men from the North to be- our
judges and statesmen, our lawyers,
physicians, editors, professors and
ministers. There arc students at Ers-
kline Mt present from North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississio-
pi, Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas"
