IFIFTY:THIRD OPENING
OF NEWBERRY COLLEGE
BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR A sUC-
CESSFUL SESSION.
Enrolment Larger Than at Any Pre-
vious Opening-Students Send
Telegram to DR.. Scherer.


Telegram to DR.. Scherer
With appropriate exercises, includ-
ing addresses by Chief Justice Y. j.
Pope, Of the supreme court of South
Carolina, the pastors Of the various
Newberry churches, and DR.. George
B. Cromer, former president of the
institution, the fifty-third session Of
Newberry college was formally be-
gun on Wednesday morning. The
enrolment on Wednesday morning
was considerably larger than on the
opening day Of any previous session,
and all indications point to the most
successful session in the history of
the college. Most of the students
who had been enrolled had already
arrived, and the auditorium of Hol-
land hall was filled with the students
and friends of the college.
DR.. Jas. A. B. Scherer, who some
time ago resigned the presidency of
the college, left on September Is for
his new field of labor in Pasadena,
California, as president of Throop
Institute. The new president, the
Rev. j. II. Harms, Of Chambcrsburg,
Pa, will not reach Newberry until
October 7. In the meantime DR.. A.
j. Bowers, of the faculty, is the act
ing president, and he was in charge
of the exercises
DR.. Geo. b. Cromer. former prcsi-
dent Of the college, was the last
speaker on Wednesday morning, and
he WAS unanimously requested by the
student body. to send Il telegram TO
Dr. Schercr, in California, telling DR..
Schcrcr that the students missed
him. The following telegram, in ac-
accordance with this request. was for
warded by Dr. Cromcr:

'Studenls NcwbrTy College,
DIR. Schcrcr was missed. The col
lcge s loss in his resignation was more
kcenly felt on Wednesday morning
than at any other time since his re-
signation was rendered, because the
Fact that the college and Newberrv
and the State had lost him was for
the first time brought directly home to
the students and alumni and friends
OF the college. Having resigned af-
ter the commencement in June. and
having left before the opening Of this
session. the exercises ON "Wednesday
morning. were thc first in which his
absence was noted since his rcSiyna-
ton. During his administration the
college experienced rcmarkabl,
growth. and there are three hand

will stand rs monuments TO his exc

personality and his conSccration. and
