WoFtnRp CuLlt:GE, SrAKTANBURG, 5.
c., January l2.-Woiford is in good
working order again. Back to work all
of the boys have come. 1t was great
surprise 10 us, the way the boys came
back The temptation was very strong
to stay over until Monday rather than
come back Friday, but the love OF
promptncSs to duty overcame the desire
for one more Sunday ut home and ON
Saturday morning almost the whole Dody
of students were present to answer 10 the
roll call President Snyder thanked the
students for their coming back 50 prompt
lv and congratulated them on the manly
spirit they had shown. Not only have
the old students returned, but also num-
Der of new ones. Among the new stu
dents we notice one who has been attend
ing the University of the South, and one
from the University of North Carolina.
1t was with sincere regret that the
college body learned last week of the
death of Mr.. Geo. w. Williams, of Char
lesion. Mr.. Williams was for many years
very closely connected with the College,
having been trustee from its founding
in 1854 until only few years ago. A
striking tribute was paid Mr.. Williams on
the morning following his death by DIR.
Carlisle.
President Snyder left last Friday for
Nashville, Tenn, where he went to meet a
committee appointed to prepare a new
hymnal for both branches of the Metho-
dist church DR.. Snyder is to decide as
to the literary qualities of the hymns. He
will probably return tonight.
The class Of lectures which are secured
each vear.by the lyceum makes it neces-
sary for them to be secured early III each
wear. On this account the lyceum mana
gers are now looking out for those whom
they wish for the season of 19O3-194.
Among those who have been practically
secured are: DR.. Gunsaulus, DR.. Henry
Van Dyke, Mrs Martha S. Gielow, Prof.
s. H. Clark, Mr. Walter Page, E. Marc,
Hon. ThOs E. Watson, DR.. Jenkin Lloyd
James.

The new chapel has been completed
and all that is lacking is the putting in OF
the seats. The commencement crowd
will all be able to get seats at the coming
commencement Usually there is large
crowd which has to stand up during the
exercises. This will be done away with
seating capacity.
