FOUNDERS DAY.
Arrronr;ate Exercises at Newberry
College on Anniversary OF Birth
of DR.. Bachman.

! On Thursday night, the anniversary
of the birth Of the Rev. John Bach
man, D. D., LII. D., exercises were
held at Newberry college commem-
mo-ative to Founders day. This
was the first time in the history OF
this institution Of learning that exer-
cises of this character have been held,
and it was indeed very pleasant and
profitable occasion.
The night was simply ideal as there
was a full moon in our Southern skies
land the air was almost sprlng1ke,
hence the large auditorium at Hol-
land Hall was comfortably filled,
Lsome chairs having to be used in the
isles.
Before the exercises proper began
be audience was most delightfully."-
Entertained with music by the college
orchestra and the G1ee club.
Rev. J. D. Bowles, Of Coronaea,
opened the exercises with prayer, at
ter which President J. Fl. Harms in a
few well chosen words explained the
treason the day had been set apart as
q holiday at Newberry college. He
stated that by a very wise enactment
under a very wise statute Of Newber-
ry college the fourth of February had
been set apart to be known as Foun-
ders' Day by that institution, ana
! that this day has been selected be-
cause it was the anniversary OF the
birthday of one who perhaps more
kthan any other one person had exer-
cised an influence over the establish
|ment and early years Of the infant
college away back in the early flftles.
Ha further stated that in the begin
ming of these exercises it was fully
appropriate that a sketch OF this no.
|:ble man, DR.. John Baehman, should
be read.
Rev. G. P. Voigt, one o. the profes-
sors of the college, then read we'll
prepar7d and entertaining sketch OF
he life of DR.. Bachman. On account
# this sketch being so we'll read and
o Interestingly written it was llsteIl-
d to most attentively. The follow
% IS brief outline Of the life Of the
;stinguished scholar, minister, sclen-
lest, and philanthropist:
cit was DR.. John Bachman who, IN
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-02-09

1918, recommended the founding OF
the theological and classical lnstltu-
tion at Lexington which in time grew
to be Newberry college. 1t was ne
who was so actively interested IN the
establishment Of the college at New
berry in 1855, and his name heads the
list of incorporators in the charter
granted the institution by the State
legislature in 1856. It is, therefore,
eminently fitting that, on this his
birthday, we should review briefly
the life and character Of this eminent
man who during his lifetime played
such an important part in the history
of our church and college.
"John Bachman was born in the
little town of Rheinbeck, n. Y, on
the 4th of February, 1870. His par
ents were plain German people, noted,
however, for their sturdiness and deep
piety. Little is known Of his early
life except that, while yet mere boy,
he showed a most unusual fondness
for natural history. He would spend
hours upon hours in roaming through
the mountains which surrounded his
home. Being very anxious to possess
some books on natural history, and
having no means wherewith to pur-
chase them, he set to work to earn
the necessary money by catching
beaver and other fur-bearing animals,
and selling their skins. With the as
sistance of his brother he in time hap
PLY secured sufficient funds to pur-
chase the coveted books. AS boy
ne was strong in body, buoyant OF
spirit, hopeful in temperament, and
very fond Of outdoor games. This
buoyancy and hopefulness he retained
throughout his life. In the course Of
few years he entered William Col
lege, at Williamson, Mass. Here he
buckled down to his studies with ex-
ceptlonal assldulty; so mucn so tnat
even his iron constitution gave way,
and to his great disappointment, ne
was forced to leave college without
his degrees, and to seek his lost
h~alth in the mountain air Of his
home. It was bitter trial for the
ambitious youth, but his spirit was
not broken. After a period Of rest
and recuperation, he again took up
his studies, this time privately, and
soon afterwards decided to prepare
himself for the Christian ministry.
He spent several years of study TN
der his pastor and in Philadelphia,
and in 1913 became the pastor Of his
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-02-09

of faith and sacrifice chief among
whom was DR.. John Bachman. He
said: "He stands before US as the
representation Of the best of those
who We're associated with him, and
Of those who have followed him with
honor.' He further said that New
berry college had been founded "Pri-
marily to prepare men for the gospel
ministry and later. under the Provi-
dence of God to do the larger work
of preparing young men for the most
intelligent and effective Christian
service Of which they are capable, in
whatever sphere Of life they may
act." He closed with reminding the
faculty and students of the glorious
future which was open to the church
college.
Music was then furnished by the
orchestra, after which Prof. Derrick
awarded the banner which President
Harms had offered to the class IN
physical culture liking the highest
score. This banner was given to the
Senior class, their score being 81
points. At the suggestion of Presi-
dent Harms the college yells were
given, and harmonious, sweetly, and
patriotically the boys sang to the
honor Of the "Scarlet and the silver
gray" This was joined in by many
Of the men of the audience whose
hair is now gray hnt whose hearts
are ever young when the college yell
is proposed, and their gray hairs did
not keep them from enjoying a yell
of by-gone days of the "scarlet and
the silver gray"
The benediction was pronounced by
Rev. Mr.. Kinard.

home church. It was in 1915 that he
received an urgent call from st.
Johns congregation, Charleston, to
become its pastor. After careful con-
sideration. he decided to accept the
call and 90 South, and this same year
commenced his remarkable pastorate
at St. Johns, which continued for
period of so years, and ended only
with his death in 1873. Not long at
ter his arrival in Charleston he was
united in marriage TO Miss Harriet
Martin, daughter of Rev. John NJ.
Martin, and their union was blessed
with a large family Of devoted child
rem. The young minister plunged IN
to his new work with zeal and a
tact that led to an abundant prosper
itv in the affairs Of his church, and
which attracted the attention Of his
fellow ministers in the city and State.
He was elected president OF the new
" born South Carolina Synod for
eight successive terms, and, to use the
words of a contemporary, was the
leading spirit Of the body In 1885
the degree Of D. D. was conferred up
on him by Pennsylvania college. 1t
was in the fall of 1881, that DR.. Bach
man formed an acquaintanceshlp
which influenced greatly his whole
future. The great ornithologist, Au-
dubon, visited Charleston at that time,
and before he left the city he and DR..
Bachman were fast friend. From
this time on DR.. Bachman pursued his
studies in natural history with IN
creasine interest, and together with
Audubon commenced to labor Oh that
monumental work which bears the
name Of the latter, 'Audubon's
Birds of America,' but in the pre-
paration Of which the former had no
mean part. On account Of failing
health DIR. Bachman was compelled to
go to Europe in 1886. Here he met
many distinguished scientists, among
them the great Humboldt, and was
everywhere kindly received. After
his return to America, he, in 1888, re-
ceived the honorary degree Of Doctor
of Philosophy from the University OF
Berlin in recogl.;;* ion Of his scienti-
fic labors, and in tae years that fol-
lowed he was elected member Of al
most every scientific association IN
America and Europe. In 1247 an
other great scientific work, prepared
by Audubon and himself, appeared.
This time it was the "Quardrupeds
of Audubon. About this time he

met Louis Agassiz, then professor at
Harvard University, whose scientific
views he later attacked in celebrat-
ed work: The Unity of the Human
Race
'Dr. Bachman, with his church and
scientific work, was already very
busy man, but in 1913, he accepted
the chair Of Natural History in the
college Of Charleston, at the end Of
which he was forced by the pressure
Of church duties to give up this posi-
ton. For some years the stream Of
his life flowed smoothly and rapidly
on until in 1853 notable religious
controversy broke out in the city OF
Charleston. A Roman Catholic aid
erman published what he denominat-
ed, lawful disclosures processing to
convict Martin Luther of immoral
teaching. DR.. Bachman felt it to be
his duty to take up the gauntlet thus
thrown down, and he did so with a
telling vigor, much to the delight Of
his friends and the discontinue OF
his foes. From that time on his pub
lie life was not particularly eventful.
During the dark days of the Civil
War and Of Reconstruction, he re-
mained faithfully at his post except
when he was on the battlefield minis
tering to the wants of the wounded
soldiers. Towards the end of the SIX
ties he began to show signs Of feeble
ness, and he grew gradually weaker
and weaker until in 1875 he breathed
his last. Amid the lamentations OF a
whole city he was laid to rest in a
vault beneath the altar of the church
he had SO faithfully served
At the close Of this sketch the Glee
Club Sang, "I'm gwine back to Dix
ie." This piece was encored so much
that they reappeared and sang, "Alf

President Harms then introduced
DR.. ". H. Greever, the distinguished
editor of the Lutheran Church VISIT
or, who made a scholarly address on
the value Of an educational institution
and more especially on a Christian
educational institution, church and
denominational institution. He paid
a glowing tribute to DR.. Bachman and
his work, also to what the Lutherans
had done in the State, and what New
berry college had been able to rise
to through these past fifty years. he
said that the college was founded first
by the Lord, then through the church,
and particularly through those heroes

TOO MANY TAX-EATERS.

During the term Of Theodore
Roosevelt as president 99,319 names
were added to the pay roll of the
national civil service. increasing the
salary list $50, 506.42 per an
nun.
During the six years Immediately
preceding his inauguration the total
Increase of civil service employees
numbered 1929, at an annual cost
of $6.01o,417.39
The Roosevelt extravaganza which
left the white house mortgaged by a
deficit of many millions has not
abated In 1907 the civil service list
totaled 306,141. In 1908 it reached
327,912. Today it has grown to
ss370.065.
The increase of $4,000 in two
years is at the rate of almost 20 per
cent. If this continues for ten years,
the people of the United States will
support more than 100000 civil ser
vice servants.
The average annual pay of each
civil service employe today is $1.l00.
If that figure is not exceeded the pay
roll for the $4,000 civil service en-
ployes we may expect in 1920, if the
republican rule continues, will be in
excess of one billion dollars per an
mum.
