WILL ENTERTAIN THE VISITOR
The Newberry county college club
is expecting every former student
and every alumnus of the college to
attend the approaching commence
ment.
The club also expects the friends
of the college to entertain in their
homes these visitors when they
come.
The club is expecting at least 500
or 600 of the former students to be
in Newberry during the commence
ment season.
No housewife in Newberry should
be alarmed at this statement. We
can and we will entertain all who
come. Newberry people are noted
far and wide for their open hearted
hospitality.
You remember when the Women's
convention of the Baptist church
met in Newberry a few years ago,
and some timid people were afraid
that we could not find homes for
them, and you remember also how
well and Hospitality we entertained
them, and how lavish they were IN
praise of the treatment, they receiv-
ed at our hands. This editor very
vel! remembers that he was then
well remembers that he was then
living alone, and that he entertain
ed about dozen, and we believe
that they enjoyed their sojourn with
us. We just turned the place over
to them and the old nanny looked
after them, and they had a delight
full time. At any rate they said
they did and we believed them and
it was just the same.
This is to notify the good people
of Newberry that they are expected
to have part in taking care OF these
boys and girls who are coming to the
commencement.
The college is our institution and
we must get behind it and wake up
things over on the hill, not meaning
to insinuate that any one is asleep,
but there must be enthusiasm and
there is no better way to get some
Of that ENTHUSIASM than to have these
former students come and live with
us for couple days, and let us
make them feel that we are interest
ed in the college, and when they 60
away they will say among them
selves and in the presence Of others
that those Newberry people are wide
awake and are helping our old col
lege, and we must show them that
we are with them, and that we toe
are going to do things, and must let
the world know that we too are
proud of our college, and things viii
begin to hum and move about. Ano
then we are going to let these boys
and girls who have been away from
here and from the college anywhere
from one to 40 years have the op.
portunity of placing their feet under
the same big table together and
made to feel that we are all one
great big family, and we want them
when they go home to feel and
know that we are watching them in
their every day work, and rejoicing
with them in their successes, and
sympathizing with them in their
reverses and troubles and willing al.
ways to give them a helping hand
That's the spirit we want to cult.
vate.
These are new times and great
changes are taking place and great
world problems are to be solved and
we want to Lave our part in work
ing out their solution. 1t is a great
privilege to live in this day OF
world problems and to be young and
to feel that you can have a part in
the building of the new world that
is to come about when everything
gets settled. And to have part in
making the settlement.
We must foster our educational IN
stitutions. The time has come when
we must educate our people. 1t if
ncore forcefully true in this day thar
any other period in the worlds his
tory that no man can live to him
self alone. It is great privilege te
have an educational institution like
Newberry college in your commune
ty. Sometimes we get so accustom
ed to having good things that we
fail to appreciate the opportunities
which we have, and without intent
