twenty-one counties represent
ed in the gaduating class, half the
counties Of the state, and every see

of what the Wofford influence means
in So Carolina.
There were four meetings in differ

fuence, the Marion-Dillon alumni
meeting at Dillon, in the. fall, the
Marlboro meeting at Bennettsville in

were largely attended and great en-
thuslasm was shown toward the col
lege Similar meetings are being
planned in other counties. The York
and Greenwood Woford men are get
ting ready for a reunion in the near
future.
The Orangeburg meeting was made
notable by the presence Of DR.. Sam
uel Dibble, of the class of '56, the
first graduate of Wofford. DR.. Dibble,
though he has lived strenuous life
as totdier, political leader, and de-
yeloper of large industrial interests,
is yet strong in mind and body, and
shows a wise concern in all vital mat
ters. He takes keen interest in his
alma mater, and is ever ready 20 Co

" in the influence. Every section

this city, is one of the trustees OF
Wofford, and has an abiding faith in
the great future that is before this
grand old institution. He like all
Wofford men, takes great pride and
interest in his alma mater.
