Last Monday was the anniversary of
the opening Of the Rock Hill hospital
So far the association is very much en-
couraged. as there are evidences of ap-
probation of the necessity Of such an
institution in our midst. There has
never been a week without a number
of patients being in the hospital for
treatment and several times 1t has oc-
CURED that all available room was util-
lied. We have not the figures as to
the number of patients admitted during
the year, but at present there are as
many as five under treatment. The re-
ceipts so far have been sufficient to
pay the running expenses without draft
being made on the purse of the MEM
bers of the staff. During the year some
very difficult and hazardous operations
have been performed, the latter only
where it was necessary to save lfe
and the success in this respect has
been most satisfactory. The hospital
staff works in harmony, it has a most
excellent head nurse and good assist
ants and the houSekeeper is prompt
and most efficient. The school for
nurses, about which mention has here
tofore been made. Is now in operation
and several young ladies are in train
ing. The class will be enlarged from
time to time and it lis expected this
will be of advantage to many young
women. ... Architects have recently
visited Winthrop college and inspected
the campus with the view of advising
as to the best location for the Carnegie
library. and a meeting of the trustees
will be neld in Columbia on the 18th
instant for the purpose of taking the
whole matter into consideration, includ-
ing the employment Of an architect.
Heretofore it has been customary for
the junior class in Winthrop college to
compliment the senior class each year
with reception. This year, however,
the juniors have arranged to take the
seniors to Charlotte on Friday night Of
this week to see Joe Jefferson In his
celebrated play, "The Rivals" The two
classes and other students who will at
tend will comprise about $50 Of the
college family. They will go on the
first train Friday night on special
coaches, but will return after the play
on a special train. President Johnson
went to Charlotte Monday afternoon
to arrange for seats, etc. The question
of Winthrop's annual outing is usually
left to the student body. No decision
has beer made this year, but it is eX-
expected the outcome will DE that the
young ladies will decide that an outing
is the thing. The 18th Of May is fixed
for the annual picnic and it will there
fore not be long until the matter must
be decided one way or the other. The
Winthrop campus is glorious in its
wealth of bloom and perfume. The
beds of hyacinths, narcissus, crocus,
tulips, snowdrops and other dubious
flowers, make the campus a thing of
beauty Prof. Buist has succeeded in
beautifying the lawn in a manner that
is at once captivating, and charming.
