To the People of Bamberg and Con

Realizing that Carlisle school is
Bamberg's one best asset, a called
meeting of the city council of Bam-
berg was held this day, June 6, 1921,
for the purpose of discussing and de-
vising ways and means of bringing
the school up to a standard which it's
friends feel this to be the opportune
time to attain. After a full and free
consideration of the needs of the
school, the council decided by a
unanimous vote to inaugurate in be-
half of the school a communicative
campaign to raise the sum of forty
five thousand (s45,000) dollars to
supplement the fund the school is to
receive from the Christian Education
fund now being raised by the South
ern Mehodists.
Believing as we do that Bamberg
is the ideal location for Junior COL
lege at the present time; with the
idea of converting the school at an
early date into a Junior college, and
ultimately into full fedged college
of standard grade, we feel that the
present moment offers to the city of
Bamberg and unparalleled opportuni-
ty to show it's appreciation Of the
presence of the school here in SUBJ
stantial manner, and at the same
time to place on the campus Of Car
Isle such a nucleus that college of
junior standard may be established
at once.
Carlisle will receive from the Edu
cational Fund the sum of S105, 900,
seven times more than the Bamberg
Methodist church was asked to con-
tribute, and nearly twice. the sum of
the Educational Campaign and the
Greater Carlisle drive combined. In
other words, if we succeed in rails
ing $4,000 for Greater Carlisle, the
city of Bamberg will receive almost
two dollars for every one we put up.
We will thereby show our faith in
Bamberg, and prove to the world that
our kind feeling and interest in Car
Isle is backed by our money.
This will put us most decidedly in
position to ask for further considera-
ton for Carlisle with more than a
mere hope that our request will be
received by the authorities in fay-
orabIe manner.
The immediate need of Carlisle is
s15O,000. With this sum CT, ,lisle
can build and equip new admins
tration building containing an audi
torium that will meet the demands
of Bamberg; erect another modern
dormitory; install central heating
plant, a need that is imperative to
the further growth of the school;
erect and equip a modern inf1rmary;
remodel the present main building
into modern class rooms, and make
other and necessary additions and
changes to bring the school equip
ment to such a standard that we may
offer the property for junior col
lege.
This is not big undertaking for
Bamberg; it is not an impossible
task. Bamberg boasts of its pros
perity, and rightfully so. The COM
munity has unlimited resources. This
is community enterprise; every dol
lar added to Carlisle school brings
greater prosperity to Bamberg, places
within. the immediate reach of our
people greater educational facilities,
gives this section an enterprise in
which we may feel greater pride,
and places us in position to ask for
big things because we are willing to
do big things.
Think what it will mean to Bam-
berg to be the home Of a leading
standard college; thing of the imme-
diate benefits our people will receive
in the way of educational advantages
for the young men of the community.
People, this is an opportunity that
we feel Bamberg cannot allow to
pass. Remember, please, there is no
college, denominational or secular,
in the southern portion of South
Carolina, aside from Charleston. It
requires no stretch of imagination
to foresee that very few years will
pass before a college will be estab-
lished in this section of the state.
With Carlisle equipped, as planned
in this Greater Carlisle campaign, we
will by far have the most attractive
proposition to offer for its location
in this city.
The city council inaugurates this
campaign as community enterprise,
every citizen of Bamberg is asked to
support the movement with their
