Many of them have been leaders Of
their classes, sharing in the honors
and medals, and have gone out from
college to become leaders in their
communities. From 20 to 80 young
ladies enroll themselves annually at

son to believe that the number will
remain materially large as long as CO.

ent careful lines.
The Literary Societies.
In 1859, for the better development
of her students in the pursuit of learn
ing, the faculty and friend Of Newber-
ry college decided to found two liter
ary societies. No greater movement
could have instituted. 1t is an
undisputed fact that in the
literary society the student finds
a great arena for mental athe-
lies, where the training of all depart

the old bell which has done such good
service for many years.

was donated by Andrew Carnegie, was
designed especially for the purpose Of
providing thoroughly equipped home

The Stylus.
During the fall term of the session
of 1867 the first copy of the New
berry Stylus" went to press. Thus
was started'a movement that has re-
suited in a permanent magazine pub
lished monthly by the students. Un-
til the foundation was firmly laid, the
faculty contributed to its support and
management. But with everything 60
ing we'll the members of the fa-
Guilty who were connected with it re-
leased their claims and turned the
MANAGEMENT over to the students.
It's growth has been remarkable.

Campus and Buildings.

The college owns large and we'll
equipped plant which stands in a beau
tifuI campus of u 6-1O acres in the
northern part of the city. Situated
upon the summit of hill on the out
skirts of the city, it is most pleasant
and leaIthful location. 1t is within
easy reach of the business houses and
public buildings, and is yet sufficiently
far removed from the dust and din
of the business quarter to afford the
necessary quietude.
When the college was first opened
in 1859, it possessed but one building,
a handsome and commodious struc-
ture, which answered all needs for
the time being. The gradual destruc-
ton which this building underwent
caused the removal of the institution
for few years to Walhalla. Upon

While just small college magazine
it compares very favorably with any
other similar publication in the State.
The Stylus became a member OF the
State College Press association at the
formation Of the organization il April,
1906. Since then it has been a leader
in the association. Twice it has car
ried away the essay medal given by
the Press association. In 1909 Mr.. w.

ments is subjected to the strainm of
an impartial test, and where he first
learns to measure his felloWman and
comes the better to know himself.
With the spirit of advancement, the
founders founded the Excelsior and
Phrenakosmian literary societies and
now they have served SO years in
training young men for the higher
positions of life.
In 1860 the record of the societies
was botted by the terrible struggle
between the States, and many men
were called from their halls to an
swer the call of duty and to face death
on the battlefield. The few that re-
NAMED after the struggle decided to
use their best effects to put the socle-
ties on thei original footing. Success
followed their many efforts and the
societies have been favored with con-
stant growth from that day to this.
Today the societies are enjoying their
golden age" AS the yeas roll by the
work of their societies gain in eff
cheney. Since the founding the
societies have certainly fulfilled
their mission. Many great and emin-
ent men have gone out from their clas-
sic halls to battle with the difficulties
of life.
In 1897 the trustees of Newberry
college opened its doors to the young
ladies. Thus it became necessary to
establish another society. This is the
noble Philomathean Of which we can
boast. In glancing over its history
we find a spotless record. This, like
the others, has made progress since
its founding, and bids fair attain still
greater success in the future.
Let us now consider the purpose OF
these three societies. The aim is two
fold First, they give their members
simple, but exact, knowledge Of par
liamentary law. If a man wishes to
become great and successful in his
after-life he must acquire a simple
knowledge Of parliamentary law. Sec
ond, they afford mutual Improvement
and criticism of its members with re-
spect to style Of speaking, compost
ton and department. In the literary
society one learns not only how to
speak, but also he acquires knowledge
with respect to department. Success
depends largely upon department.
If this report seems to some indivi-
dual too fattering, we only beg his
presence at one of our meetings or
at the annual debate held during the
month of March The influences of
these organizations are far-reaching.
The following are the present Of

room and two recitation rooms. The
equipment of the chronological depart
ment is thus adequate and high class.
The gymnasium contains large
hall, fitted out with the necessary ap-
paratus for work in physical culture,
and is amply large for basketball, in
door baseball, etc.
Altogether for size arrangement,
equipment, and beauty, Newberry's
plant will compare favorably with
those of the other colleges of the
South.
CO.educatiOn.
Although both sexes are in attend
ance at Newberry college, the institu-
tion is not strictly co-educational.
Young ladies have been admitted to
the classes of the college since 1897,
for the purpose of allowing those
young ladies of the town and county
who desire to do so, the opportunity
of obtaining collegiate training with
out the expense of going away from
home to some girls school.
No definite steps have ever been TAX
en- to make Newberry co-education-
al school. No dormitory has been
erected for young ladies, nor have
they ever been solicited to any great
extent in the campaigns for students.
But those who have come, have been
gladly received, and no pains have
been spared in arranging for their
welfae while at the college.
Young ladies who attend the college
as boarding students are advised to
board with relatives in town, but in
CASE they have no relatives here, they
are placed by the faculty in those pri-
vate homes where the influences and
surroundings are conducive to the best
development of a student.
The young ladies who attend New
berry share in its advantages equally
with the young men. The young men
and women recite together in the class
es, but outside the class room they
are forbidden to mingle. While the
young ladies are on the campus, and
not in recitation, they are quartered
in very comfortable study room in
close proximity to the homes of the
professors and the president When
they leave the campus they go to the
homes where they board, and being
there separated from the student
body, they have the best advantages
for studying. Newberry college offers
to the young ladies as good classical
training, under as good moral and
eligious influences, as is given in CO.
educational schools anywhere, and it
emphasizes the fact that there are
present none of the objections that
are usually common to co-educational
institutions.
Co-education as conducted at New
berry is success, which is evidenced
by the number of young ladies who
have availed themselves of the op-
portunity and have been benefited.

today stronger than ever. Two years

ton.

its return in 1877, the large building
now known as Smeltzer hall, was
erected. This formed the nucleus of
the present plant, which has been a
gradual growth. Smeltzer hall soon
became too small for the many pur-
poses for which it was used-recita-
ton hall, library, dormitory, chapel,
etc.. and in 1895 Keller hall, an i'm
posing two-story brick structure, was
added to the plant.
The need of separate recitation
hall and of a large auditorium was
met in 1904, when a handsome and
conveniently arranged building known
as Holland hall was completed.
The addition of the chronological de-
partment made necessary the erection
of the engineering building, a splendid
ediice of three stories. The alumni
gymnasium was built in the semi
centennial year 1906. In the early
nineties, the presidents house and two
professors residences were placed on
the west side of the campus near Col
lege street. Within the past few years
a thoroughly equipped boarding hall
has been located in the northeast cor
ner of the campus; the old boarding
hal, Beng utilized temporarily as an
annex to the domitory.
, VT the present time, then, the plant
consists Of ten buildings, and besides,
an athletic field. The buildings are
placed according to the following ar
rangement: In the centre Of the mid
die campus on the north side. stands
Holland hall, the heart Of the institu-
ton. On its right, separating the mid
die from the front campus, are situated
SmeItzer hall and Keller hall. On the
left, over against the two halls just
mentioned, are the gymnasium, the
engineering building and the dormi-
tory anex. Between Holland hall and
the gymnasium lie the tennis courts,
near which is the boarding hall. Be
hind the gymnasium and the engineer
ing building is the athletic field. The
presidents house and the professors
houses face one another on the north
and south sides of the front (west
campus.
Holland hall is devoted chiefly to
lectures, and to purposes of admins
tration. On the main floor are eight
large and comfortable recitation
rooms, also the presidents Office, and
the hall used temporarily as the laba-
ratory of physics. The upper story
contains a large assembly hall, used
as a chapel and auditorium, besides
two handsome halls used by the lit
erary societies.
Steam heat and electric lights rem
der if comfortable at all times.
smeltzer hall, three-story brick
bui1ding, is now utilized as a dormi-
tory, and contains accommodations
for about one hundred students. 1t is
supplied with pure artisan water
baths and sanitary plumbing. II IS

The archaeological Department.
The Teach" department was estab-
lished with the object Of putting a
practical and technical education
within the reach of every boy in this
part of the country. It's beginning
was small-in one room with one in
structor-but at presnt the de-
partment has three-story building
for its own use and four instructors.
This growth has been steady and nor
NAL, and the future looks brighter to-
day than at any time in the past.
The "tech" gives courses in electri-
cal and mechanical engineering, at
tention being as nearly as possible
equally divided between the theoreti-
cal and practical. However, with the
present equipment the practical side
of mechanical engineering is hamper
ed by lack OF apparatus. Win the
building we already have compora-
lively small outlay woud more than
double the efficiency of the depart
ment
On entering, student works first in
the wood shop, where he is taught the
use of various hand and machine
wood working tools. During his first
year he makes furniture, and patterns
to be used later in the foundry. The
wood shop is well equipped, having
in it lathes, band-saws, table saws,
joiners, planners, etc., aside from
set of hand tools for each student.
From the wood shop the student goes
in his sophomore year to the forge,
where he is given thorough course in
blacksmith work. All this work IS
done according to drawings and one

machine shop and there the complete
machine is assembled.
A thorough four-year course in
drafting is given. The drawings for
the alternator mentioned above were
made in the drafting room before the
patterns were begun in the wood shop.
The department has we'll furnished
electrical laboratory, and here the
student performs experiments which
supplement the theories he has learn
ed in the classroom.
This is necessarily a bare outline Of
the pactical side Of the tech course,
and is only small part of what the
department is striving to accomplish.
Newbery tech, like many similar de-
partments, is in need of funds to COM
plete it's equipment but even with
what It has it is in healthy condi-
ton and is moving forward toward
the accomplishment OF tIOse ends for
which it was founded.
OratOry and Lyeeum.
Newberry college is increasing the
interest and enthusiasm in the subject
Of oratory. This department is of ut
most Importance. It aims to thaach
the young men to express their
thoughts simply, clearly and eifec-
lively. Frequently young man
'fhome" from college is asked to make
an address OF some kind, and in most
cases his ability or the value o; his
college training is judged by the man
ner in which he presents his thoughts
to his audience. This is one reason
why great stress is paced upon this
subject Oratory tends to make lead
ers of the young men in their commu-
mites, and it is as leaders that they
have the greatest opportunity Of
doing the greatest good. Henry
Ward Beacher defines oratory as "the
art of influencing conduct with the
truth sent home by all the resources
cf the living man" So Newhelry col
Iege lays great stress |. ..on tills sab
ject, the value of which can hardly
be overestimated.
The work in oratory is to great
degree supplemented by the college
lyceum course, which is given not for
the college students alone, but for the
entire community.
The lyceum develops good taste and
appreciation, and teaches the people
to enjoy good music, good pictures,
fine architecture and high thinking.
It raises the sentiment in regard to
entertainments and decreases the de-
sire for poor shows and cheap thea
tres. It Encourages the Getty beauti-
full" 1t creates scientific sentiment. It
brings "our college" and "our town"
into touch with the outside world and
introduces US to other corners Of the
world, other people and customs. 1t
is non-parttsian and non-sectarian and
thus influences intelligent voting and
broadens the religious outlook. The ly-
cum couse brings to the town men and
women of achievement who inspire
our young men and women to get out
in the world and do something worth
while. It also teaches personal hy-
giene, the way of the simple life and
the efficiency of right thinking. By
means of the lyceum course it is pos
sible for us to hear some of the best
musicians, humorists, entertainers,
philosophers, statesmen and orators of
the day. And the tendency Of good
lyceum course is to inspire men to a
