The 1919 commencement at New
berry college has come to close,
and is now matter of history. 1t
was a good commencement and we'll
attended in all the exercises, except
possibly the best number on the four
days program, and we were surpris-
ed not to see more people out that
evening. DR.. D. w. Daniel did not
have the audience that his excellent
address deserved, and one thing
which he evidently noticed, and so
did the writer, while he was invited
here to address the literary societies
of the college, if there were any OF
the members of these societies pres
ent they were so mixed with the aud
ience as not to be visible. 1t would
have added to the excellence OF the
exercises if the college body, or the
membess of the literary societies,
had occupied seats together so that
he might have felt they really want
ed to hear him, after extending the
invitation just like we used to do in
the good old days. But these are
new times and just like all the good
people used to say, not like the good
old days.
The entire program for the week
was above the average and the peo7;
ple seemed to have the spirit and
the enthusiasm which spells success
for the college.
The Herald and News now for
thnty-two commencements has play:
ed up the story Of. the commence
ment at the college: and the story
has been written at each and every
one Of these thirty-two annual COM
mencements by one or the other OF
the Aull boys. The writer has pos
sibly written Is per cent. Of them,
and the remainder were written by
John K. Aull, but all and every one
Of them has been prominently dis
played. sometimes we have felt like
asking the question, Is it worth
while to devote 50 much space to
these occasions? and sometimes we
are almost persuaded into answering
the question in the negative, but
somehow we just can not help IT,
and we feel. that Newberry college
is a Newberry institution and that it
is our college, and as we have always
stood Cor everything that was for
the good Of the town we just can't
help it, even if the whole thing is
taken as a matter Of course and
there is lacking appreciation, because
we know that publicity is a good
thing and that the prominence we
give these occasions makes the COL
leee come before the people and gets
them to thinking about it and talk
ing about it and results in good.
The people of this town and the
people of this State who are inter-
ested in the college are going to
give President Derrick all the coop
Grafton in their power, and SO is The
Herald and News, it has heretofore
said so, and it means it, and the sdl-
tor is going to do the same, ne has
already said so, and he means it.
Whatever influence and help that
this newspaper can give to the COL
lege and to the making of President
Derrick's administration the most
successful one in the history of the
college is at his command. That we
trust is plain and simple enough to
be understood by any one OF ordl-
nary intelligence. That drive for
greater Newberry college which The
Herald. and News. suggested some
time ago has been endorsed by the
action of the board Of trustees, and
the 100000 is going to be raised
easily. DR.. Tom Dreher will get his
one ohundred friends to give thou
sand dollars each, and those who are
not able to give so much will give in
lesser denominations and raise an
other 100000. It's easy If you go
at it in the right way and with the
right spirit.
The commencement just closed has
been a very successful one in many
respects, all of which indicates tnat
