Newberry College Letter.

Editor The Bamberg Herald
Owing to the fact that Bamberg owns
a few representatives at Newberry
College, the writer does not deem it
amiss to send a word of greeting to
our friends and loved ones through
the columns of your valuable paper.
This is perhaps the first NeWberry
College letter to appear in your
columns. Although away from our
native county there fingers with us
still a longing for it and I can truly
say that Bamberg is never forgotten.
Visions of that dear old county are
constantly and continually staring us
in the face. Although these temp
tations to return to the old home
confront us we nave resisted them
and each year Newberry gives up at
least one graduate from her classic
halls. This is no little honor for
Bamberg. Bamberg now has four
representatives at Newberry. Al
though few in number they are do
ing a great work. Next year we hope
to increase greatly the number of
our representatives.
Let us now call attention to our
college as a whole. Newberry, first
| of all stands for sound learning and
religious faith. This year it sends
out % men and women to face the
difficulties of their after life. This
class has been treasure to Newber-
| ry and it is for this reason that we
mourn it's departure. Newberry has
| done all in it's power to prepare these
men and women to face these diff
ficulties and we feel sure that all
will meet with success in their diff
ferent vocations. Few colleges Of
fer better opportunities to young
men and women who really want to
study and acquire sound knoWl-
edge and the reasonable charges
places these advantages within the
reach of all. Her alumni are found
in almost every State and county.
Thus from this, Newberry College is
a part of the national system of edu-
cation which makes for the upbuild-
ing and Strengthening of national
character. Besides the mental train
ing which Newberry affords her stu
dents, she has achieved much this
year in the line of oratory and ath-
letics. She won the State oratorlcal
medal at Rock Hill this year. Al
though never before in it's history
had it won it, it was received with
no surprise. Newberry has also
won the championship in basketball
and tennis this year. The names of
our tennis varsity" have been added
to the list on the cup and it is now
in our possession for the season of
1911-12. DR.. Harms, our beloved
president, is now on his canvass for
the $4,000 endowment fund to
meet the offer of $4,000 by Andrew
Carnegie. Up to this time he has
met with abundant success. The
larger part has been raised and there
still remains for him great deal of
territory not yet canvassed. If this
endowment fund is raised it will
mean much for this dear old college.
The base ball team stands a good
chance of winning the pennant of
1911-1912. With the basketball,
tennis and base ball championship
in hand also in connection with these
$4,000 endowment fund all col
lected together in one collegiate year
we can say that Newberry is "going
some"
The future of this institution is
assured by it's past achievements.
Let me say here that in the whole
field of Southern colleges, Newberry
is one of the most fluorishing. The
writer merely sends this letter as
greeting to our friends in Bamberg,
not as a boaster. If it seems to
some too fattering we only beg their
visit to our halls and class rooms
thereby giving him chance to see
for himself the great work which we
are doing. H. E. C..
