"Resolyed, That the thanks OF tn
Alumni association be, and they ar
hereby, rendered Prof. C. W. Welcl
for his magnificent address,"
The Literary Address.
The address before the literary so
cieties of the college was delivered OF
Tuesday night by DR.. Henry Nelson
Snyder, of Spartanburg, the scholarly
president of Wofford college. DR.
Snyder was introduced by Superin-
tendent Henry Lee Dean, of the New.
berry city schools.
DR.. Sntder's address was one of the
finest efforts to which it has ever been
the pleasure of a Newberry audience
to listen. He spoke for fifty minutes,
and his audience could have listened
to him twice as long with the same
undivided attention which it gave him.
The theme was "The Human Ideal
in the Educational Process"
DR.. Snyder referred to the trend Of
the age to make education vocational,
to make education an apprenticeship
so that the step out of school into the
world might be an easy one. This
was the dominant thought of the hour
when it comes to considering the mat
ter of taking the raw material of our
human nature and subjecting it to the
organizing processes Of training.
Granting this and granting the de-
mand of the nation and the age for it,
he urged that never before in the his
tory of human experience was there
a greater need of having at least some
institutions, some processes organized
for subjecting the human material to
the more general aim: and the more
humane aim Of training that says to
us that the man is greater than the
worker, that what is behind the hand
in more significant than what comes
out of the hand, that after all we are
each of US greater and more than any
thing that We do, that We are as much
concerned with how we think as what
We do. The old modern college was
gone and gone forever, he feared, with
it's few studies and simple discipline,
but, which he was in no sense critic
Using the institutions that train men
for the specific pursuits of life, be-
cause the greatest good to the great
est number demands them, We should
keep as the core, as the heart, of
our educational system that institu-
tion which has to do with the making
and training of the constructive think
or. The most practical man a college
turned out was the thinker VINO stood
four-square to all the winds.
