BANQUET, FOR DIR. SNYDER.
WofYord's President Honored by the
Alumni ut Orangeburg.

The visit of DR.. Henry N. Snyder
to Orangeburg was mace the occa-
sion of delightful informal ban
quet, which was tenedred him on
Saturday afternoon at the Orangeburg
Inn, by the alumni Of Wofford Col
lege who live in Orangburg. Gather
ed around the board were men prom
ineht in all walks Of life, men who
have been successful in nearly all of
the professions and in the lines Of
commercial activity and who can
trace the foundation of these success
es to the training received at their
alma mater
The Orangeburg correspondent of
The News and Courier says there was
represented at this gathering per-
iod of more than fifty years in the
history of Wofford. There were men
whose hair is tinged with the snow
of many winters and others, little
more than boys, whose battle with
life has just begun; but all met on
common ground to do honor to the
head of the institution which they
love so we'll.
The Hon. Samuel Dibble, L. L. D.,
was called upon to preside, and this
he did in his usual pleasant manner
Dr.. Dibble INTRODUCED the guest or
ton in the affairs Of Wofford Col
lege, being the first graduate in
class composed of one. By special
ARRANGEMENT he was allowed to grad
uate several months in advance OF
the balance of his class, a distinc-
tion which few can claim and an
honor of which Dr.. Dibble is justly
proud After making g. few remarks
Mr.. Dibble introduced the guest of
honor, DR. Snyder, who delighted his
hearers with interesting accounts of
matters pertaining to Wofford Col
lege.
DR.. Snyder began his address by
referring feelingly and reverently to
that grand old man. Dr.. james h.
Carlisle, whom every son of Wofford
loves. He said that although Dr..
Carlisle was unable to take a very
active part in the affairs of the Col
lege his interest is as great as ever
and he has never entirely lost sight
of a single student who had been
under his care at Wofford. DR.. Sny-
der told of the wonderful growth of
the institution, and Of the great work
that is being done there, Of the great
number of men who reflect credit up
on the institution that trained them
for their work in life.
DR.. Snyder expressed sincere ap-
probation of the attention shown him
while in the city and extended a cor
dial invitation to the old Wofford
students to visit the College and live
over again, in memory, the pleasant
hours at this historic institution.
On motion of Major w. L. Glaze,
the assembled alumni unanimously
voted that expressions of their regard
and esteem be conveyed to DR.. Car
Isle by Dr.. Snyder, and that the
grand old man of Wofford" be as
sured that, though scattered far and
wide, his old students had not for
gotten him and were ever mindful of
his teachings.
The occasion was most enjoyable
one and brought gladness to the
hearts of all present.
