New York Evening Post The
whitewashing investigation Of the
war department by two or three men
who said beforehand that there was
no thing in the charges, and one man
whose son had received a most desir-
able appointment in the army, is al
ready seen to be such a farce that
even Republican congressman treat it
as worthless and promise to force an
inquiry that will really find out some
thing. Representative Lawrence, Of
Massachusetts, in a speech to the con-
vention which renominated him the
other day, after paying warm tri-
butte to the soldiers, said that "they

are now here to lay the foundation

the nature Of things social functions
and such hard work as you are about
to begin as students, do not har-
monte, and as citizens we cannot
see much of you. Indeed, while we
feel that this College for young wo-
men is the very brightest jewel in
our State, much less our little city,
we must not loose sight Of the fact
that it is wholly a State institution,
and not municipal one, and it is
therefore a delicate discrimination
for us to make, as to where our in
terest should begin and cease. The
unkind report has been circulated
throughout the State, that Column
bus was not only Indifferent to this
College, but actually hostile to it.
Feeling keenly this groundless
Islander, we could nor would not
rush into print to refute it, but have
borne it in dignifed silence trusting
to truth to assert itself. And we
now disclose to you, and wish you
to report it to your friends and
families throughout this State, that
this charge is a gross Islander aud
utterly devoid of truth and founda-
ton in fact.

issippi girls, for here in this great
school, in this Queen City on our
eastern border, and in other great
schools Of our State, their minds
can be taught and their hearts, will
not be alienated from "their own,
t.eir native land" Our University
and A. & NJ. College boys can find
here and elsewhere in Mississippi,
friends and companions worthy
their manhood and their culture
and their love.
Ny friends, the title of the act
creating this school says it is an
Industrial institute, and it also says
that tits a College. Mr.. President
and members Of the Faculty, keep
it on these lines. Let all the in
dustries appropriate to woman's
capacity aud woman's sphere, be
taught and encouraged here. This
is the first, prime object Of this
school, and if it has been, or shall
be made secondary, it will fail to
accomplish the great object of its
creation. Let it be an Industrial
Institute" in all that the term i'm
plies. But let it be also a COLLEGE
in all that that term signifies; so
that when young lady is awarded
a diploma for a full course, or a de-
partment certificate, it will mean
something-that no one will say
"she is only an IL. & c., but rather
it shall be said "SHE is an
l. |. & c."
My friends, we are laying to-day
/ trust, the foundation stone of a
new career of usefulness and honor
for the Industrial Institute and Coll
lege for the White girls of MissIs-
sippi." Let all the clouds that
may have lowered around this
house, be deep in the bosom of the
ocean buried. Let the sunshine of
peace, and prosperity re-dawn and
re-rest upon it, and forever abide
with it; and-as we masons some-
times say-"let the only contention
or rather emulation be, as to who
can best work and best agree"

OPENING OF Ii. & COLLEGE.

train from Columbus, where he at
tended the opening exercises Of the
Industrial Institute and College
held yesterday. In conversation
with a Claron-Ledger reporter Cen

was a very successful affair from
start to finish. The welcome adj
dress at the college chapel was de-
liyered by Mayor w. D. Humph-
ries, in the presence of large au-
dience composed of pupils and the
citizens of Columbus. Addresses
were also delivered by General
Nash, Colonel Power, Pres. A. A.
Kincannon and Hon Malcolm Fran
kiln, member of the Legislature
from Lowndes county. The exer-
cises were interspersed with songs
and music by the student talent.
Fully two hundred and fifty young
ladies presented themselves for ELL

its conclusion the Professor was
heartily applauded, He has COM

look for the college as very bright
indeed" "A very sad thing in
connection with the opening, "con-
tlnued General Nash 'Is the serious
illness OF Mrs. Annie G. PeytOn
one of the founders of the insttu-
ton. She is lying very low and
not expected to live but a few
hours. The members Of the f0c-
ulty and the pupils are visibly af-
fected by her illness"
The public will remember Mrs,
Peyton as the godmother Of the
Industrial Institute and College.
Nearly 20 years ago her writings
signed "A Mississippi Woman" IN
behalf of a separate college for the
white girls of the state so impress
ed themselves on the public mind
that in 1884 an act was passed ere
ahDg the college. Her expected
death will cause sadness and sor-
row throughout the state.-Clar-

Mr.. PRESIDENT, LADIES OF THE
FACULTY, STUDENTS INDUSTRIAL
INSTITUTE G COLLEGE, LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN:
Borrowing the language of your
Trustee and our Bishop, I shall not
now speak of history, but l shall
indulge in a prophetic vision of the
future of this College-luminous
with the golden promise of success.
am glad of this opportunity of re-
newing my unchanging and un-
changeable fealty to this institution
the pride and glory of every
Mississippian. AS a Mississippian
[ am proud of the fact that my ma
tive State was the first among all
the State to throw her arms about
her daughters lifting them to
higher and truer life. That pride is
intensified when | reflect that the
home of my birth has been to this
College a foster mother always in
dulgent and kind.
am most happy that its future
destiny will be guided by the hands
of a man whom am honored to call
my friend-a Mississippian to the
manor born-he comes no alien and
no stranger, but he comes, after a
few years of wandering, to the home
of his fathers and to walk the same
paths that his father has walked.
He has reached the highest position
in his profession. From private life
he was called by the reclamation of
his people to the most exalted place
in the educational department of our
State and from that eminence he
guided our public schools and col
leges to a success never before at
tanned. I congratulate you that he
is your President congratulate
Mississippi that he is her son.
A gloom falls around and about
us to-day that she, whose brain
conceived, whose loving heart beat
in tender solicitude and whose gen.
tie hands have aided in the uplifting
of the College, lies weary
Between two worlds on the horizon
verge,
Her life hovers like a star"
Just now she lies wavering on the
borders of that land of shadows and
silence and the light of heaven fall
ing upon her wan and fevered face.
We pray her life be spared and her
presence bless US in the session just
begun.
