son had given the simple command,
"Prcss forward.' Referring to haZing,
he said the trouble with haZing was
that a crowd gets after fellow, ana
in a crowd there was likely to be a
coward or fool, and the most cruel
man in the world is a coward who has
crowd at his back. In concluding
his remarks he urged upon the stud
ents the greater responsibilities which
came to them as they went higher up.
The Hon. John D. Cappelmann, of
Charleston, in opening his remarks,
said that as trustee he was glad to
find everything so auspicious for this
opening of the institution. ITO the
work." then, was the call which ne
sounded to the students, with the de-
termination that this should be the
best year Of their college work here
and the best year for the college. To
the alumni he sounded a call for great
er activity for the upbuilding of the
college, reminding them of what the
institution had done for them, and OF
what they owed to their alma mater.
Mr.. Cappelmann during the course OF
his excellent address, urged the great
er development of the spirit of song
in the student body, speaking of what
a fine thing it would be to have we'll
balanced and we'll drilled male chorus
of the whole student body, each STU
dent able to sing we'll his part. He
spoke of the uplifting power of music,
of it's great spiritual benefits now and
in the years to come, and of the joys
which would come to the students in
after life from the remembrance OF
college songs. He urged the students
that whatever they did, to do all for
the glory of God. If by music and
the use of it, or otherwise, you have
learned to recognize God as your faith
er, then I beseech you that in your
work here and hereafter you shall en-
deavor to use all things for his glory.
The speaker said that as with him
when he was the age of the young men
before him, he supposed there would
be constant questionings in their mind
as to the choice of a life work-as to
what profession they should follow.
He paid fine tribute to the ministry
of God, telling them that if it was the
will of God that they should be called
to his ministry it was a call to the
highest station in life. In conclusion,
he said: "Now, 1 bid you God-speed,
my friends, in your years work. Oh,
learn to love each other. Love the pro-
fessors; heed what they tell you, as
they with prayerful thoughts and
deeds consider your course here, won
dering how to overcome difficulties
that are in your path; oh, yield to
them. And, above all, render to them,
as the officers of this institution, as
the servants of Almighty God, render
to them that respeH which their work
and their position demand of you.'
Dr.. A. J. Bowers, of the faculty, ad-
dressed the students briefly, put point
adly, telling them they had been taken
out of the world Of work, out of the
world Of producers, and put in college
as consumers, for the purpose of snar-
paning their axes to prepare themselv-
es for higher and better wo~H. They
had been committed to the faculty.
their souls had been committed to the
faculty, and he urged the students to
help the faculty in their trust.
President Harms told h. students
he had only four words he W2nE::l to
say to them at this time-four words
he wanted them to near and ID heed:
Start right; keep right
The benediction was pronounced by
the Rev. J. D. Bowles, of Coronaca, a
member of the "old guard" of the
board of trustees of the college.
