Editor Herald and News; You have
requested ME to give you tor pnhllc"-
ton AN account nf what has been done
so far IN the building Of Clemson Col
leKe, aud what remains yei to he done.
I have lust returned from visit To the
onllepe, where the faculty of the instl-
tul!un, by the request nf the Board oi
Trustsrs, mel in their official capacity
for the first time. The faculty and the
board met also !n joint conference, alia
discussed the mailars pertaining {" the
oponins of the Gnllegr As y"n have
saan from the daily papers, the eNrr-
oisus Of the college will begin on the
first Thursday Of next July. mis- Is AS
soun AS the hoard can be ready with the
building aud equipment.
Doubtless, many of your readers nave
long been impatient that the time OF
opening should come so slowly. but
only those who have been on the ground
aud have seen ihe magnitude OF the
work and the many difficulties Ia hs
overcome, can form any idea of the
task tho board had set hetnre them.
These difficulties have been removed,
one hy one, and now we may all i"nk
confidently To the near approach "t tho
long desired beginning.
