... One of the most interesting feat
ures of the recent commencement at
Erskine college was the alumni reun-
ion, held last Tuesday. A more enthu-

have been found than these who are
united in one common purpOse-the
upbuilding of their alma mater The
chief matter Of interest was the
launching of the newly formed organ
iZation known as the ErSkine Educa-
tional Aid society, composed Of alumni
and friends of the institution. About
$50 members were secured at COM
mencement and the prospects are fine
for a large membership. Much credit
for the organization is due Mr.. w. ].
ROddey of this city, who is the chief
mover in the project. Mr.. John A. Jen-
kins also has done fine work, of thirty
members at SO apiece right here in
Rock Hill. Mr.. Roddey's address to
the alumni was a splendid one inspir-
ing the large audience with enthusi-
asm. The object of the association is
purely benevolent, its main purpose
being the raising of funds to lend to
worthy young men who desire an edu
cation. The far-reachng good of this
work may readily be seen and without
doubt many young men will avail
themselves Of this magnificent oppor-
tunity. Officers of the association were
elected as follows: President. W. J.
Roddey, Rock Hill vice president Dr.
J. l. Mccain, Erskine; secretary, John
