Wednesday morning Chief Justice
Y. J. Pope, who has been a member
of the Board of Trustees since tho
removal of the college to Newberry,
and who has regularly attended these
opening exercises when his official
duties permitted it, was the first
speaker. He said it was very great
pleasure to MIN to meet with the
student body and to speak word to
them. The occasion was, an import
ant event not only to the young men
and young women, who were pres
ent as students, but to the people Of
this community and also to the peo-
pie of this great state; it was a
great thing to enjoy the privileges,
which these young people are now
enjoying; Newberry college was very
near to the hearts Of the people Of
Newberry and not only so, but it
was benediction to the people of
South Carolina. He said that the
people Of Newberry and the people
of the community, from which the
students came, expected great things
of them, and lie hoped that the stud
! ents appreciated the opportunities,
which they were now enjoying; there
were a great many people who were
denied these opportunities, and he
impressed upon the young students
the Importance Of taking advantage
of their opportunities; he said that
he took interest not only in their
welfare in the college, but in their
contests in the athletic field and when
presiding over the court in Columbia
his mind frequently reverted to the
students Of Newberry college, and he
always took pleasure in their success
in whatever field they went into con-
| fict.
Rev. G.. B. Miller, who was present
from North Carolina, was then call
ed upon, and expressed his great
pleasure at being present at the
opening of Ncwb4rry college. He
! wished that he, could express what
he felt. AS he looked into the brigh,
faces before him he believed that the
hope expressed by. Judge Pope for the
success OF the students, would be rea-
lized; he said that there would be
many eyes looking upon them this
year. Your country calls upon you in
the discharge Of ithe duties, which
may come to you during your college
term, which would fit you for the
! discharge Of the duties Of life. The
! facilities, which are now offered the
students, are, much better than they
were a few years ago, and if the
/ students fail to rise to the standard
the fault will be theirs. Your coun-
! try demands Of you the very best
service, which You can render. He
urged them to take school Life SER
iously and not be afraid that they
