! The record this year Of our stud
ents in debate, oratory and athletics
is worthy of special mention. Our
debating teams won in the triangular
debate with Wofford and Presbyteri-
an colleges, and also won over the
Baptist university of Oklahoma. Our
speaker won honorable mention in
the state oratorical contest. Our
football team won third place, our
basketball team, first place, and our
baseball team, first place among the
colleges Of this state.
. To meet the current financial OBJ
legations of the college has been a
difficult problem this year. The
collections for tuition, fees and
interest on. endowment have been
slow and incomplete. Some who owe
the college have been unable to pay;
many have been apparently ind;ffer-
ent to their obligations. ask the
board to express its judgment as to
the policy Of the college in the col
lection Of tuition and fees,-shall the
college insist upon prompt and full
payment, and drop the student who
:! does not comply; or shall it continue
the policy Of leniency that has pre-
vailed for many years? The many
factors involved make the problem
decidedly complex. But I think the
time has come when the policy of the
college in this matter must be defn-
itely stated.
In December, 1921, DR.. Trevor Ar
nette, representing the General Edu-
cation board, visited the college. He
I expressed admiration of the remark
able work the college is doing in
spite of it's Deficiencies in room
equipment and teaching force. Up
J. on the recommendation of DR.. Ar
nette the General Education board
appropriated $4,000 to help pay sal
aries for this year. This saved US
from dangerous deficit in our cur
rent expenses account.
The reports of Jas. C. Kinard,
treasurer of the faculty, and of S. J.
Derrick, acting treasurer of the
100000 fund, will be submitted to
the board at the annual meeting on
June 5th and made part of this re-
pert. The report Of the treasurer of
the faculty will show very little defic-
it in current expenses for the year
when there is considered the deficit
of last year taken care of in this
account.
The athletics committee of the
faculty and the athletics committee
of the Newberry County College club
. together put on campaign for the
sale of season tickets good for all
, athletics events on the campus for
, one year, beginning April 1st. This
effort Was approved by the standing
committee. 1t was the hope of the
Joint committee to realize from the
sale of tickets funds sufficient first,
, to finance the athletics of the college;
second, to show balance sufficient
to juatify the board in undertaking
the erection of a new $4,000 gym
. nasium. Not all hoped for was rea-
lized, but the first objective, the fin
ancing of athletics, was accomplished
. and enough above this secured to
, grade and equip new athletics field.
This will cost about $4,000 | ask the
, board to give to the committees NAM
| ed above authority to proceed at once
with this work.
| believe the time has come when
the college must have new gymnasl-
