South Carolina Baptist State Conyen-
tion has here great enterprise in it's
hands, great and growing and quite
lncalculably useful enterprise of funda-
mental and essential Importance to the
progress of our people. 1t enshrines as
no other enterprise does or can ever do
the traditions and spirit Of our history
in this State: the great names of that
history are forever linked with Furman
University. These great spirits of the
past who rule us from their urns and
who invested here their love and pzay-
ers and gifts invite us of the present
generation to join them in their
service Of all coming generations by
like Investments of love and prayers
and gifts.
A prosperity such as they never saw
has daWned upon us; resources beyond
their dreams are at command. And
they challenge US TO do with our means
as well as they did with theirs. Men
and women of South Carolina who love
Christ and their fellows can win no
surer title to the gratitude and venera-
ton OF coming generations than by
linking their names with Furman Uni
versity, and joining hands to make the
University what the opening future
demands.
hs compared WITH such q use of our
resources, the building of private fort
unes is despicable indeed, which, as Mr..
Carnegie has lately said, ministers
not to any taste worthy of man." Sure
~ the time cannot be far off when
individuals, some of whom are reading
this article, will of their own Judgment
as to wise investments and without
solicitation put their thousands into
Furman University. OF all such we
may be sure that generations to come
will rise up to call them blessed.

THE PRESENT DAY OBLIGATION.
"The splendid record of the past en-
ioins upon us as no mere eXhOrtation
could do, the obligation of maintaining
i'm the enlarged Nurman of today the
ideals and the spirit of the earlier years.
Who are the men upon whom this re-
sponsibility rests? The present faculty
OF course; and we wish we could intro
duce these men one by one to all our
Baptist people. In their special train
ing for the positions which they occupy
they represent Harvard, Yale, Johns
Hopkins, Cornell, Colby, University of
Chicago, University Of Pennsylvania,
University of Virginia, University of
Wisconsin, in this country; and Cam
bridge (England), Paris (France), Leip-
zig and Berlin Germany, abroad.
at will be seen that these men are
fully competent to maintain the stan
dard set by Furman, Judson, Reynolds
and Edwards. The arts degrees offered
by the University today are standard
and represent sound, liberal education.
FOUR LINES OF EXPANSION.
"There are four lines of expansion
which lie before us calling US to in
creased devotion to the largest single
enterprise conducted in common by the
Baptsts of South Carolina. These are,
viz. lst Endowment; 2nd. Loan Fund;
3rd. Courses of Study; and lth. New
Buildings. OF course expansion in
these lines will be accompanied by a
steady but we hope not too rapid III
crease in the number of students.
"The present endowment amounts 10
about $50, 900. Before the last pay
mcnt on the 1903 subscriptions falls
due, December LIST, 1907, we shall have
collected upwards Of $95, 900 on those
subscriptions The General Education
Board Of New York has offered to add
$50, 600 to our general endowment in
case we collect $l25, 600 in full on the
1903 subscriptions, and $50, 900 for a
new Science Hall by January lst, 1909.
1t will be seen that success under these
terms will carry our general endow-
mcnt to 100000 and beyond. This
looks like Il large sum, but it will still
be Inadequate to the enlarged needs of
the institution. We need at once a
gymnasium, to which a single subscrip-
;ion of 81, 600 has already been recciv-
ed; and a building for our science de-
partmcnts. 1t has been suggested that
this latter building he called The
James G. Furman Hall of Science" 1t
should include laboratories for chemiS-
try, biology, physics and electricity,
astronomy and psychology, and Il mu-
scum of natural history Here is in
volvcd an increase in the professional
