FURMAN'S ENDOWMENT TO
BE INCREASED.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Addi-
tiOnal to be Raised.

Greenville, June 19.-The com.
mencement exercises of Furman
university in the Judson audito.
rum last night were among the
most creditable ever held by the
venerable institution. President
Montague presided, attired in his
LII. ID. robe. The graduates wore
the regulation senior robes and
made a fine appearance.
During the exercises last night
some announcements of great
Importance to the university were
made.
1t was stated that plan had
been formulated to raise $4,000
additional endowment for the
university. Half of this amount
has already been secured.
Through the efforts of President
Montague the American Baptist
Educational society has promised
$12,500 on condition that $37,5OO
additional be secured from other
sources. This means that a small
portion of the Rockefeller mil
lions will forward the cause of
higher education in South Caro-
lima, as John d. Rockefeller is
the chief backer of the American
Baptist Educational society.
A friend of Furman has given
100000 towards the $37,5OO.
The name of this gentleman has
been withheld at his own request
but his very modestv almost re-
veals his identity. This is not
the first time he has contributed
largely OF his means as we'll as
his ability and large talents to
the building up Of Furman uni
verSity.
From other friends $4,000 have
been secured in contributions of
5000 or less. The total of the
contributions thus secured is
$25, 900. DR.. Montague has un-
dertaken to raise the other $25,
600 and for that purpose he will
at once start one of those hearty.
Jealous campaigns for which he
IS noted among the Baptists of
South Carolina. DR.. Montague
expresses his confidence that he
will soon be able to accomplish
this task. That $12,5OO has been
subscribed without a word of
solicitation is great means of
encouragement,

pronounced by all as being as fine

council has sent some of the
water to chemist to be analyzed
and expects nothing less than to
have as fine mineral water as is
in the country anywhere. The
capacity OF the pump is ove. 35

MEDALS AND PRIZES.
The medals and prizes for the
year were also delivered last
night. The Maxwell prize for
oratory, open to seniors, was
awarded to G. w. Cunningham.
The Wharton prize for declama-
ton was awarded to w. B. Sher-
wood, and the Mcmillan medal
for oratory to G. p. Parrott. The
first two are prizes of $40 in gold
and the last is a gold medal.
THE YEARS WORK.
The session just closed has been
a good season for Furman. The
attendance, including the Fitting
school, has reached 224-one of
the largest in the history of the
university. The prospect for next
year promises just as good a ses-
sion. With the new dormitory,
the Fitting school, the improved
facilities in nearly every depart
ment, Furman is an even more
attractive institution than ever
and with strong faculty it is
prepared to do still greater work.
The membership of the faculty
remains practically the same.
Prof. Hugh @. Haynsworth has
been elected acting professor of
French and German, but Prof. E.
VonFinzerlin, one of the most
talented linguists in the south,
will remain professor of modern
languages and has also been elec-
ted librarian Of the university.
Prof. Haynsworth is now in Eu
rope studying. He has for the
last two years been headmaster
of the Fitting school. The man
agement of the Fitting school for
next year has not yet been def.
nitely determined but the two
years record of the school en-
sures its future success as it has
demonstrated it's usefulness.
