ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT
HAS COME TO A CLOSE
TWENTY.FOUR GRADUATES EN-
TER UPON LIFE WORK.
Alumni Here in Large Numbers and
! Fine College Spirit and Great
Enthusiasm Manifest.

Another successful commencement
has added laurels to the brow OF New
berry college. To say that session
has been the most successful in the
history of an institution is to use a
thread-bare expression, but in this
instance it is necessary, because no
other words will express the fact. The
enthusiasm at this commencement
was more manifest than at any of the
preceding ffty-three commandments.
The alumni and friends of the college
got into closer touch, and there was
more college spirit, and more deter
mination to work. for the college. The
glory of her past was not forgot, but
faces were turned towards the future,
and the effort will be to make each
succeeding year better than the year
which has gone before. ~,
The graduating class this year was
large, and the "a young tten and wo-
men who passed from the college
walls into the great outside world
will add to the number Of those who
in the activities of their daily walk
in life are a living factor for the up
building OF their alma mater and wEo

are putting forth at all times active
work In her behalf. 81
\The 'big day." Of course, was
Wednesday, when the degrees were
conferred, the medals delivered, and
the graduating class given God
speed. The remarks Of President
Harms-now DR.. Harms, for Erskine
college this week conferred the de-
gree of doctor of divinity upon him
should be an inspiration to the young
men and the young women of the
graduating class throughout life. Pull
sing with a life-message, with it's
thought couched in beautiful Ian
guage, pure in diction, and delivered
with an earnestness and an elOquence
which could not but appeal to the
heart, it was a gem. "Fare you forth
and farewell" and keep yourselves
pure and upright and work for
man and for God, and do something
worthy of the college which sends
you forth, was the burden Of his mes
sage to the class cS 1910.
The banquet given by the local al
umni to the visiting alumni at the
Crotwell hotel on Tuesday night evi-
denced the college spirit which was
manifest throughout commencement
week. "King" John F. Hobbs presid-
ed, and college songs were sung, and
there were college "reminiscences, and
there were college toasts, and there
was expressed a determination to
make Newbe7ry college bigger and
better in the years to come.
The commencement exercises prop
er in the opera house on Wednesday
morning were attended by the usual
large crowd, which packed the opera
house.
