ing the foundation good and strong.
Rev. Z. p. McClintock, who is the
oldest pastor in continuous service in
Ncw'crry, and who has probably at
tended more Of these openings than
an: other person in Ncwberry, was
presented and expressed his appre-
! "la;ion and pleasure Of being present
lie was pastor here when the college
! came from Walhalla and only put
Town the work about year ago on
account Of failing health. He stated
that Newberry college nad been Of
great benefit to him as pastor. 1t
was stimulus to the pastor in hav-
ing a college in the community and
every preacher needs a stimulus Of
this character. He told the story Of
an Indian maiden, who had adopted
as her motto to make all out Of ner-
self that can be made out of an In
dian woman. He said that it was an
excellent creed for the young men
and young women Of Newberry col
/ lege to make all out of themselves
that they possibly could, and in this
day of great development in the south
and the forming of new social order,
as it were, was very important that the
young men and young WON II, who
were at college, should realize the
necessity of making all out Of them
selves that it was possible to make.
Rev. G. A. Wright, of the Baptist
church, was then presented and said
that there was just one thought, which
he wanted to lay upon the hearts and
consciences Of the student body, and
that was, that the eyes of the COM
munity, the eyes Of the teachers, tae
eyes of the home communities, from
which the students came, were upon
them while they were engaged in their
college work, and ne wanted them to
think of the homes they had left and
the sacrifices that were being made
by a devoted mother or father in or
der that they might be at college and
nave the advantages thus offered, and
then he asked them to take with them
the question, "what are you going
to do with your opportunities9'
Rev. d. G.. Phillips, who has with
in the past year become pastor in
Newberry, said that while, Of course,
his first allegiance was to his own
college, yet, he felt now that he owed
equal allegiance to Newberry college.
In fact, the purposes and ideals of
Erskine and Newberry were very
much the same. DR.. Phillips said that
ne felt very much at home and ap-
preciated the invitation to be pres
ent and in behalf of his own church,
ne desired to extend very cordial
welcome to the student body to all
OF the services of his church and
that If at any time ne could serve
any OF the students, he would be glad
to do So He impressed upon the
students that the angel Of opportun-
lty had been brought to their hands
and that it was for them to mold fast
until the blessing was assured. He
urged Their to wrestle manfully with
tins angel Of opportunity He said
1T made little difference where tha
starting point was. The main thing
was the purpose to be accomplished.
Mr.. V. B. ease, of the senior class,
responded to the several addresses
of welcome in behalf of the students.
! He said that they felt that they were
welcome and he believed that the
student body would be faithful and
loyal to those VINO have taken so
much interest in them.
! This closed the erexcises incident
! to the opening, and Wednesday was
occupied in the examination of stud
ents and their classification.
