The President of the college, DR..
q. b. Butler, read the 18th chapter
Of Romans, aud made comments
drawing some useful lessons, ap.
propriate for the occasion.
DIR. /. +. Belts led in prayer.
DR.. J. d. West talked on Chris.
tian Education. His remarks were
rich in learning and forcible in the
enunciation Of the principles Of
Christian Education. He showed
the limitations Of an education in
material science only, and pointed
out the need for education that
will not stop with the training Of
the faculties-the animal part Of
mans nature-but will enable US
to extract the good from the truth
learned and properly apply it.
"Christianity," said the speaker,
wants 10 get rid OF competition,
commercislism ,oyerreaching, "And
wants to substitute cooperation,
and the rule of brotherly love.
Even the science Of economics ap.
proves this aspiration, and mate
rial gain from given amount Of
labor would be vastly greater.
Do away with locks, and guards,
and checks, and bookkeepers, and
advertising, and the many cor
rolsries Of competitive production,
and the result is apparent. The
multiplication table is an instru-
ment, not an end-and it is an in
strument which Christian educa-
tion will use to perform more ably
the offices of love.
Along this lofty plane Of thought
the speaker pitched his address.
1t was a deep study. He ended
with a fervent godspeed TO the
work Of this hour, in the launch.
ing Of this institution. He wished
great and glorious success TO the
Texas Woman. College.
Prof. II. II. Harrington's name
was next on the program. In an
nsuncing his name, DR.. Butler
pronounced a glowing tribute TO
the esteem in which the new presi-
dent of the A. and NJ. College is
held. Prof. Harrington could not
be present on account Of press Of
duties.
Prof. r. o. Allen made a strong
talk upon the subject Of the Texas
Woman's College and its prospects.
This school will bless Bryan
Prof. Allen said, as surely as sun
shine and showers viii germinate
good seed.
F.M. Law responded with short
address, being named as a repre-
sentative Of the Business League,
and the business interests Of Bryan.
He named two things as indispen.
sable TO the success of this school
purpose and loyalty. "The Texas
College is richly en-.
dowed with both" said Mr.. Law.
II stands for the best; its teachers
and faculty are selected with that
In view. Loyalty he believed to
be strong in the breasts not only |
Of the teachers, the officers, but
also on the part Of the citizenship |
Of Bryan. In such a friendly soil,
aud with such a purpose, the
school cannot fail.
DR.. Butler was greatly enoour-
aged by the spirit Of the addresses,
he attendance, and the favorble
auspices under which the school is
aunched, and so expressed hiln-
self in the closing remarks. The
ended with a vocal solo by
Mrs. Lillebridge.

Ichool rooms, by the assignments
