The graduating class at NeWberry
college this year numbers % and all
of them have taken and completed the
regular course for the masters de-
gree and there are no special students
in the bunch-something little un-
usual in a class as large as this one.
There are three young ladies in this
class and one of item took the sec
ond honor and another has been TAX
ing all the medals that were offered
tnrough the course. The first honor
was awarded to Thos. F. Suber, of the
Pomaria section of this county, and
the second honor went to Miss Leila
Dennis, of Newberry.
The college, like all o1cer institu-
tions has felt the pressure of the
times, but in spite of that it has come
out stronger and better than before
for the work that is before it, and
tae attendance mas been good during
the past session and the college will
press forward for greater things in
the future. DR.. A. j. Bowers of the
faculty on account of impaired t-ealth
has been granted a leave of absence
for one year which he will take in
rest. He has been with the college
for a great many years and is val
uable asset of the Institution. Prof
G. P. Woigt mas also been granted a
leave of absence for one year which
he will spend at the University OF
Virginia where he will act as instruc-
tor in German and French and at ice
same time finish his course for the
masters degree. Prof. Voigt has here
tofore taken several months at diff
ferent times at the University. Prof.
Monroe has resigned as principal OF
the preparatory department and the
department as such has been dfscon-
4inued and the preparatory students
will have the benefit of tce instruc-
tion of all the professors just as the
regular college students This will
be a great advantage to those young
men who desire to prepare for COL
lege-they will have in their prepa-
ration the benefit of the instruction
of all the professors the same as the
Others.

Wagner, and Mrs. Derrick and Mr..
Morgan rendered very effectively tie
duet, "The Lord is My Light"
The baccalaureate> sermon was de-
Piivered to the graduates by DR.. George
Taylor Rygh, one of the editors OF the
American Lutheran Survey, of Colum-
bia. AS is customary on these COM
nencement occasions there were no
services in tie other churches and all
the pastors joined in DE commence
nent exercises which were held in the
opera house. The house was filled to
ats capacity. The weather was ideal.
The music was fine and the exercises
were mighty instructive and benef-
eial.
DR.. Rygb spoke entirely without
,manuscript and endeavored in plain
md forcible language to impress the
Saeandng Of the real life and drew the
distinction between the real and un-
real life. :
