The board of directors of the Presby-
terian College for Women has been busy
during the past week, since accepting
the resignation of Dr.. Pell as president.
arranging the reorganization of the
faculty of the institution for the COM
ing year. The work has resulted in
putting women in charge of the insti-
tuition, as has been done at many OF
the leading female colleges of the coun-
try, with splendid results, and it is be-
lieved that there is great future for
the college. Thus far with the faculty
practically completed, there is only
one male member of the faculty.
Miss Euphemia McClintock, presi-
dent of the college and professor Of the
chair of history and economics.
THE NEW PRESIDENT.
Miss &uphemia McClintock, who
has just been elected president of the
college, has been the lady principal for
the past six years. She is a native OF
Newberry. Her family are of Scotch
Irish ancestry, and have furnished
many prominent preachers and teach
ers. Her grandfather was 40 years
professor of mathematics at Erskine
college and her father, who is a prom
inent minister in the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian church, is now
president of the board of trustees OF
that institution.
Miss McCiintock was student at
the Woman's College in Baltimore
where she graduated in 1893 with the
highest honors given by that institu-
ton. Since then she has taken post
graduate work at Harvard university
and Chicago university, and also spent
one summer studying in Paris. After
graduation Miss McClintock settled in
her native town where she was engaged
in preparing pupils for entrance to
college. During that time the Rev.
r. P. Pell was the pastor of the Pres
byterian church at Newberry. He was
in 1895 elected the president of the Col
lege for Women in Columbia, and hav-
ing knowledge of Miss McClintock's
work and her eminent fitness for the
position brought her to the attention OF
the board of directors and had her
elected as lady principal in the college.
Miss McClintock has continued with
the cole ge in that capacity, and also
as professor Of history and economics,
and has displayed marked talent, not
only as q teacher, but eminent ability
in the management of the students.
Miss McClintock has recently been Of
fered bv her alma mater, the Woman's
College of Baltimore, fellowship with
the privilege either of studying at that
institution or of going abroad. This
complimentary offer was under consid-
GRAFTON by Miss McClintock when she
was elected to the presidency of the
college-which of course caused her to
forego the privilege. Under her man
agement the highest standard ofex-
cellence which has characterized this
college in the past will be maintained.
She is strong believer in the advan-
tages which grow out of personal con-
tact between teacher and taught: and
it will be her purpose in the future, as
in the past, to emphasize the great ad-
vantage to the young woman of being
brought daily in personal contact with
her teachers, and so throw around the
student all the benefits which belong
strictly to the home life. With the
limited number of pupils which can be
accommodated in the household it will
be altogether practicable to give to
each member the advantage Of personal
association with the faculty, aud so the
aim will be during this critical period
in the lives of young women when
character is being formed to give to
each student all of the benefits which !
grow out of the social life which sur
