college was had III the magnl1lcenl
auditorium at the college on Friday.
The pastors of the various churches
in the city were present by invitation
and made addresses of welcome and
gave the students some advice. lhls
editor has not missed an opening OF
: the college with possibly one or two
exceptions for the past 20 years.
First in the chapel in the old build
ing, when il was the only building
on the campus, and one time in the
hall over the furniture store OF Klb-
Ter, Dennis and Co., and then in the
chapel in the Keller Memorial, and
now in the beautiful auditorium OF
Holland hall. We were there when
DIR. Holland and Prof Arrignton were
edeIiehted if the enrolment reached
75. The college has grown. Every
one is delighted at its growth. All
institutions of learning in the state
IN the past few years have been pros
pering. The people are more able to
educate their children and there is
more interest in the subject.
Then there were no co-eds. and not
ANY post-graduates on the roll. The
Faculty was not large but the woS
was thorough and the boys had lit
tie time for anything but study. 1t is
gratifying to see such flatlering be-
ginning of the present session. 1t is
Tthoped that this revival in education
will continue until every boy and
every girl in this old state and
throughout the country. may have the
: advantages of liberal education.
Among those who spoke at the for
NAL opening on Friday there was only
lone representative of the former stu

abode in Walhalla and that was DR..
Leavell. 1t would have been appro-
pirate if the president had called on
some one of those who were students
while at Walhalla. OF course Dr.. Cro-
med would have been called on but he
was unavoidably absent. He and DR..
Bowers, both alumni, spoke on We'd

there was no alumnus.
We could not help but regret that
the president did not know that Prof.
John Belton O'Neall Holloway was
present on both Wednesday and Fri
sday morning, because he could then
-shave had the period in the history OF
sGhe college from 1869 to 1877 repre-
:sented by one who graduated as far
back as 1875 and one who has been a
true friend to the college and possibly
prepared for and sent to the college
five times as many students as any
other alumnus.
Everybody gives to the young men
