NEwBERRY COLLEGE.
One of the most important things
considered by this session Of the synod
was the report of the Board OF Trustees
of Newberry College, and the recomda-
tions made threin that an agent be
elected to increase Observation-Disclosures
ment Fund to fifty thousand dollars the
amount that was originally contem-
plated, and whose further duty it shall
be to raise funds for the building OF
two or three houses for the professors.
This recommendation was referred to
a committee consisting of Rev. j.. A.
Sigh, Geo. B. Cromer and Rev. Z. T.
BooZer, and their report recommending
the putting of an agent in the held
created some discussion, not that there
was opposition to the matter, but there
was:ditference of opinion as TO the plan
to be adopted. Finally, however, the
report was adopted, and it was deter
mined to elect financial agent OF
Newberry College. 1t might be we'll
to state that the salary Of this agent
will be provided for by synod and he
will not work on a commission of his
collections, so whatever given him for
the college will 60 to the college.
A committee, Rev. 6. w. Holland,
Rev. J. A. Sigh, and Geo. B. Cromer,
D. B. Wheeler and A. H. Kohn, was
appointed, who should have charge of
the details Of this matter and to select
an agent in case the agent elected by
synod should not accept.

elected by the synod as the financial
agent of the college. He has not yet
decided whether he can undertake the
work.

member of the Board Of Trustees OF
