life Of this community fer more than
fifty years. Many Of our young men
and young women have been educat-
ed there and hundreds from differ
ent parts of South Carolina have
come and spent from one to five years
with Us and thus were formed ties
which are binding and from far and
near there is living active interest
in Newberry college.
1t is gratifying to learn that the
prospects for the opening now so
neor at hand are so auspicious and
that we are to have 80 able a faculty
into whose hands vii; be placed the
training Of 50 ni:,ny yoang minds.
The following in regard to the
opening was received by The Herald
and News the day it appeared in the
daily papers and we take great
pleasure in giving it place in our col
umns even though several days after
it's appearance in the daily papers:
Owing to his inability to secure
his immediate release from his posi-
tion as vice-principal Of the Leland
Stanford preparatory school at Palo
Alto, CAL, Prof. Otto R. Patzwald
Will not be able to assume his. duties
as professor of English and Modern
Languages at Newberry college until
the beginning Of the second term,
January l, 1908. The standing COM
mittee Of the board Of trustees has
been fortunate in securing to services
of DR.. Edwin B. Settler for the in
terim. DR.. Settler filled this position
himself for a number Of years, and
sper' last session at work in his Ian
"uaee spec 4::::cs at the University Of
Virginia. from which he 10 e', ed the
leer"( o. Doctor Of Phi .osopEy some
time ago. He intends to acquire ad-
ditional university training, and is at
present engaged in wcrk on Eng
lish Prosody, to supplement his
scientific treatment Of English versi-
fcation already published. The col
! lege is !s:o1 o1tunate in the fact that the
natufe cf his engas 'lLents permits a
teac,er so thoroughly capable, and so
loyal to his alma mater, to serve as a
substitute in these hlg H. Important
branches. ::
Prof. Roy z. Thomas, Ph:.D., has
already arrived with his family, to
take charge Of the science depart
ment, which will be correlated with
the school Of Technology, to the bet
terment Of both departments. The
entire faculty will be on the campus
next Monday, to prepare for the
opening on Wednesday, September
18th. At a. M, on the following Fri
day, the formal opening exercises
will be held in Holland Hall, to, which
all friends of the college are invited.
Greetings will be extended to the
students by members Of the faculty
and by representatives Of the New
berry churches. On Friday evening
the usual reception will be given by
the College Christian Association,
which has already presented every
prospective student with a neat and
instructive handbook. President
Scherer has just completed the sum-
mer canvass by visit to North Car
olina which will rank next to this
state in the number Of new students
next session.
Everybody connected with the col
lege rejoices in the fact that the hand
some new boarding hall, just complet-
ed, will. be in charge Of Mr.. and Mrs.
John A Summer, who have been as
sociated with the hospitalities of
Newberry college for years. Nothing
could better guarantee the successful
management Of the boarding accom-
modations for the students. Another
welcome piece Of news for the dorml-
tory students, at least, will be found
in the announcement that the hall
ways Of the three stories will be sup
piled with electric lights. The wiz
ing for this purpose will be suffi~
GENTLY heavy to carry lights for ev-
cry room in the building if this shall
be deemed advisable at some future
time. The old boarding hall will be
| temporarily utilized as an additional
dormitory, on account of the over
flow Of applicants. Every effort will
be made by the authorities to accom-
/ modata the unusually large BODY of
