COLLEGE NEWS.

= The prospect is bright for large
attendance of new students at the
opening of college, September 18th.
The establishment of Students Army
Training corps unit at the college Is
an important event in the affairs OF
the college. Young men between the
ages of Il and 21 by entering college
can obtain the rough preparation for
military service and at the same time
the usual academic instruction. Our
people are beginning to realize this
and to understand its importance.
Prof ]. C. Kinard has returned from
Columbia university. Under his di-
rection the Department Of Natura.
Sciences will enlarged and strength
ened next session. This is done To-
meet the needs of our students at
this tiMs.
Prof. c.. w. Riser and famlly WILL
move into his house on the campus
this week. DR.. Hussey and family
will probably reach Newberry early
next week. 1t seems now that ad-
ditions to our teaching force will have
to- be secured. The standing COM
mittee is considering this.
Dr. Bowers was pleased and en-
.couragea by his visit to Efhngham
county, Georgia. He thinks we shall
have more than the usual number OF
students from that secion.

LETTER FROM GEO. DERRICK
ARRIVED SAFELY OVER THERE

The following has been received by
Mrs. oe B. Derrick from her son.
George Derrick, who has arrived safe
ly overseas 1t will be read with
much interest by the many friends
of the family and in fact all of US:
Aug. 1st 1918.
My Dear Mother:
days on the sea the ship
On which 1 set sail from the States
now so termed-landed safely at a
French port which name I am now
unable to give, but will try and re-
member. We arrived at this port on
the evening of the - inst and the
next following morning proceeded to
a nearby camp. SO you see, mother,
l am now on active service with the
American expeditionary forces some
where in France"
Now, if some one had asked me or
had told me that would be III
France at this time three years ago
in the present crisis I would have
felt like calling him mot so," but
this goes to show what things can be
done in just a little time. But moth.
er, am certainly proud to be in this
country at this particular time in the
worlds history as soldier serving
on active service under the Stars an6
Stripes. We are here to show the
world what Americans can do and to
prove to Bill Kaiser that all dreams
do not come true-that his dream Of
conquest and world dominion wiz
never come true-no, never. We will
win and prove our real strength In
every particular-we will win-we,
the allied countries Of the world, will!
make the world place worth living
in-and a beautiful and peaceful land
and country to love will ours be in
the glorious future It is great
pleasure for me to be here and II i.
be His will it will be a still greater
pleasure for me to give up my life
in this great WARRIOR my country
orr own dear United States of Amel
lea and France.
Mother it was a great trip across
and we met no difficulty at all in
making the trip-save just little
sea sickness, but that was all over
in few days. l got pretty sick about
the second day out and must Say that
quite a few of us on board were IN
this quite uncomfortable position. The
rest of the voyage was very interest
ing. Will always remember it and
many other things which I hope 10
tell you some sweet day. Tell father
I wish he could have been with me or
this trip. There is nothing to fear.
The sub is powerless with America
at the wheel.
| do wish l could speak French
though. It is quite interesting and
amusing to get around one Of the little
French kids and hear him talk and
see him try to understand us and we
in turn endeavor to make him out.
This in wonderful country and they
love us and we love them--vive Ia
France
Will try and write you as often IS
possible. Am getting along fine. Give
my love and very best regards to all.
Your devoted son,
George.
