The Keller Memorial.
The new building, to be known as
the Keller Memorial, is now going
up, and will be completed by Octo-
Der 1st. The cost, including furni-
ture &C., will not be less than S5,-
500. About $4,000 of this amount
is in hand. The summer months in
South Carolina and Georgia are not
thought to be expedient seasons for
soliciting money for charitable pur-
poses; but in the present prospect OF
good crops and better times, it will
be proper time for the friends of
the college to indicate to the under
signed what they will give towards
this building by the first of next
November.
About seventy. five students of the
college have generously agreed to
raise and pay over, October 1st,
$500 toward supplying the building
with the needed appliances. This
''Volunteer Fund" should meet a
prompt response from those who are
solicited by these students.
The Bachelor of Science Degree.
Until now the college authorities
have not felt justified in establishing
this course of study. But with the
greatly improved facilities for the
study Of chemistry, physics, geology,
mineralogy, botany, &c., which the
college now affords, the science
course with the degree to which it
leads is regarded as wise and neces-
sary. This feature should commend
the college to the patronage of all
who are seeking scientific training
in connection with literary and
classical course of study.
The Preparatory department will
be under the principalship of Mr..
Arthur Kibler, A. NJ, an alumnus of
the college, class 'S4. Prof. Kibler's
ten years experience in school work
gives the assurance of thorough |
and satisfactory management of this
The reduction of the expenses of
the college session, through the
cheap price of board, secured by
means of the boarding hall, brings
the cost of an education within the
reach of many heretofore debarred.
The entire cost of student in the
college department need not ex-
ceed S12o.0O. In the preparatory,
the expense will be con-
less.
The prospect OF large enroll
uent of students the coming session
is hopeful; with earnest work from
the friends of the college the number
Of students ought to be greater than
any preceding session.
