ITS WORK AND ITS WORKERS.
The workers at Wake Forest, and for
Wake Forest, are not confined to the fac
ulty, the officers, nor the trustees. There
is perhaps no denominatiOnal institution
in the country that has behind it so de-
voted and so united constituency. The
Baptists in North Carolina. collectively
and individually, feel that Wake Forest

past. to maintain for the still greater

written upon the minds of thousands OF
the best young men in the land who have
gone out from these class rooms and So
ciety halls back to homes made better
and 3brighter because OF their having
been here, back 10 communities and
neighborhoods elevated in every phase
Of life because of the establishment and
successful maintenance of this great
institution. Wake Forest College lacks
only two years of being as old as the
Baptist State convention of North Car
olina. The one was organized sixty
seven years ago, the other sixty-hye years
years ago, just two years after the or
ganization by the Baptists of North Car
Dina of the State Baptist convention.
This convention declared its purpose to
establish Baptist Literary Institute in
the State. ...s.
1t is not surprising that this newly
organized body Of Christian workers
should have taken such action. From the
earliest history of the church until the
present it has been found working earn
estly, ardueusly and successfully for the
education of the people. The Baptists
have made sacrifices as individuals, az
church organizations, as associations
and as great and powerful State con-
vention organization to build and main
tain institutions of learning for the bene-
1t Of their young men and young women.
The great heart of the Baptist denomi-
nation in North Carolina has been beat
ing in sympathy with Wake Forest Col
lege and in accord with those good men
who have been guiding its destinies
through the changing scenes of nearly
three-quarters of a century, and today
the institution is more nearly than ever
before, ingrafted into all the hearts and
the homes of its builders. Wake Forest,
like all other great undertakings that
were begun in the earlier development Of
the State, had but little to build on ex-
eept the determination and courage of
its early projectors. It's only endowment
for nearly quarter of a century was the
hopes, prayers and patronage of its
friends-the sBaptists of North Carolina.
1t began" in the purchase of
large landed estate of 615 acres in what
was then known as "The Forest" a Sec
ton of land near the northern edge of
Wake county, famous for its magnificent
oaks of original growth. The erection of
a~large and tcommedions dormitory build
ing and other necessary expenditures;and
debts contracted in the beginning,
harrassed the earlier years of the
institution. These debts were finally paid
off in the year 1S49, and an endowment
fund raised. IT amounted to but little.
