HOW MARCH CAME IN.
Some Say Like Lion and Some Say
Like a Lamb.

March came in Wednesday. 1t showed
in the morning but the falling of the
elements was accomplished in such a
quiet manner that the supporters of
the grounding and the believers in
Goose Bone Hartz had the same ar
guments.
Local weather prophets say that the
winter is over and that March will
be balmy month. So let it be. But
the old saw of coming in like lamb
and going ont like a lion can hardly
be counted upon to satisfy many opin-
ions on the subject.

No formal program has been pre-
pared for the convention, but the list
of subjects prepared for discussion,
together with the number of promi-
nent persons who have signified their
intention to be present, assures the
most notable convention in the history
of the association. The governors OF
several of the Western states will be
in attendance. Among the matters
to receive attention are railroad rates
quarantine laws, irrigation and vari-
Gus measures of state and federal
legislation in which the stock ratsers

Gloomy Christmas for Russians.

st. Petersburg, Jan. THE pre-
vailing discontent and unsettled con-
dition of business and affairs gener-
ally were reflected most noticeably in
the observance of the Russian Christ
mas today. The festivities with which
the day is usually observed in the
capital is wanting and, though the day
was a holiday, there was little of the
holiday spirit manifested by the pop
ulace. The celebration was confined
almost entirely to the holding of the
customary special services in the
churches.

students enrolled larger number
than before in the history of the
college. DR.. Pritchard, much to the
regret of many after accomplishing
a great work, resigned in 1882 and
Rev. A G.. Dixon was elected. He de-
clined and Prof. w. B. Royal was
made Chairman of the Faculty,
President Charles Il. Taylor.
In October 1882, Prof. Charles E.
Taylor had been appointed agent of
the Faculty and made tour through
the State, securing large additional
subscriptions to the Endowment Fund.
He was a son of DR.. ]. B. Taylor, of

of the war was acting adgutant of

ed the University of Virginia in 1865
and graduated in 1870. The next
four or five months he spent in Eu-
ropean travel. From the beginning
he thoroughly identified himself with
his work. AS financial agent of the
college in 1876 he succeeded In add

he was the proper man for president.

he greatly improved the equipment of
the college. At the beginning of his
administration only three buildings
were on the campus. the Old Dormi-
tory; the Heck and Williams Build

cence of Colonel ]. M. Heck and Mr..
J. G. Williams of Raleigh, n. =. and

tration were built the Lea Labora-

1901. The alumni Building is now
in process of erection. Inc campus

land evergreens, traversed by walks
REALISTICALLY laid out, and surrounded
by a stone wall. 1t will now compare
favorably with any campus in the
country in beauty. The curriculum of
the college has also been subject to
many improvements. The corps of
teachers has grown from 6 or to 16
full professors who g;veA instruction in
is distinct schools The standard
and extent of scholarship required for
graduation have been adopted to the
needs of the students who patronize
the institution, and yet are such as
won respect and distinction for the
college at home and in other States
and institutions. OF far reaching con-
sequence has been the establishment
of the school of Law under charge
of Prof. N. Y. Guliey. Since it be-
gan its work in 1894 it has turned out
several young lawyers who have taken
a high stand in their profession and
remained strong friends of the col
lege. 1t is hoped and expected that
the Medical School, established in
1902, will prove no less useful. The
number of students enrolled has
steadily grown until the high number
of $50 was reached in 1904-about

FORMER PRESIDENTS
Sketches Of the Great Men Who Have Been Chief Exec
utives Of Wake Forest College,

was elected President, and served
three years resigning in 1852. Like
DR.. Wait President White came to
North Carolina from the North. He
was born at Bow, New Hampshire, in
1910. graduated at Brown University
in 1882. For some time after his
graduation he taught at New Hamp-
ton Institute. He was admirably fitted
for the delicate and difficult duties of
a teacher" He next studied law,
went West, and was admitted to the
bar at Greenville, Ill, in 1886. He
won distinction in his profession, but
his tastes were those of a teacher and
in 1898 he came to Wake Forest as
Professor of Ancient Languages. He
was an excellent teacher, and his life
was of a stern moral quality. While
at Wake Forest he became impressed
with his duty to preach and was or
dained to the work of the ministry.
His work as President seems to have
been confined to the internal admins
tration of the college. The finances
of the college were entrusted to the
able hands of Rev. j. S. Purefoy and
under his management, after a heroic
effort, the debt Of the college was
wiped out in 1S49. In the same year
Mr.. Barclay Powers, of Warren
county, gave Mr.. Purefoy ten dollars
the first money ever given for the
endowment In 1854 Mr.. White be-
came President of Morse College,
Greenville. Ill., and until his death in
1889 was identified with its 1nanage-
ment excepting an interval of two
years, while he was chaplain of an
Illinois regiment in the late war On
the resignation of President White in
1852. Rev ]. j. Brantiey was elected
to succeed him. He declined, and
Rev. T. w Tobey was elected. He
declined. Then Rev. w. T. Brantley
was elected and declined. Rev. T. G.
Jones did likewise. Prof. w. G. Owen
was President pro tenn during these
elections and designations. In 1854
DR.. P. H. Nell, of Georgia, was elected
President but declined.
President Wingatc.
In June. 1854, Rev. Washington
Manly Wingate, d. D., was elected,
President of the Colleges GHei
was born in South Carolina,
in 1928 He graduated at
Wake Forest College with the A. b.
degree in 1849 Later he received the
a. m. degree from the same college.
After his graduation he studied
theology two years at Furman
Institute, in South Carolina. In
1852 he returned to North Carolina
and labored two years as agent of the
college. Elected President in 1854 he
held the place twenty-five years fore

lege. Suffice it to say that if the
blessing of the Holy Spirit had not
been poured out at that time and oc-
casion Wake Forest College would
have long since been known only in
the past. But it could not be SO.
John w. Moore, Esq, the State his
torian, in his biographical sketch of
Charles Worth Skinner, says:
The BaptiSts in the Convention of
1856 found that Wake Forest College
had reached such a crisis that, with
out large help in money. the iristitu-
ton must close it's doors. In view Of
the imminence of the peril the men
who loved the college best were in
great doubt whether enough money
could be secured to meet the emer-
gncy.
"'Rev. DR.. James Mcdaniel, the
long honored President of the Con-
vention, had recognized A. M. Poin-
dexter No one expected better things
as a result of all the eloquence from
Poindexter and others than score
or so of fifty and one hundred dollar
contributions. As the speech went on
Charles w. Skinner and his dear old
friend, Richard FELTON,, were seen in
deep consultation outside of the Hall
of the House of Commons, in the
State Capitol, where the body met.
"'As Dr. Poindexter took his seat
DR.. Thomas E. Skinner secured the
floor. He told the chair and the
convention that he was instructed to
announce that C. w. Skinner and
Richard FELTON, would each give
five thousand dollars. to which he
would add three thousand. The eff
feet of this announcement was mag
ical. Even the staid moderator was
overcome. and to use the language of
an eyewitness, from that moment
no one remembers exactly what oc-
Cured: in thirty minutes forty-four
thousand dollars were pledged, and
Wake Forest College was saved and
saved forever President Wingate
continued his canvass for endowment
and when the war opened in 1861,
fund of $46, 900 had been secured. AT
the close of the war only $11,700 of
this remained Then Wingate set
about repairing the broken fortunes
of the college and at his death about
