The Board of Trustees,
Newberry College.
Gentlemen:
The college session Of l)21-ls22
began on September 23rd, 1921.
Three new professors began Their
service in the faculty on the opening
dav: Rev. R. A. Goodman assumed
the professorship of Bible and Chris
tian Ethics; Prof. G. P. Voigt, OF
Modern Languages and Literature;
jand Prof. F. D. MacLean became
Physical Director and Associate Pro-
fe-sor of English. These gentlemen
at once entered fully into the life and
work of the college, and have labored
with conspicuous success, each in his
own department and in the general
work of the college.
Under authority given by the
standing committee the faculty Sc
cured the assistance Of the following
students: R. O. Derrick and c. W..
McCartha, laboratory instructors; X.
W. Kinard, instructor in mathema-
tics; L. E. BlackweldeH instructor in
English; Geo. c., Borts, instructor in
Spanish; A. E. Davies, instructor in
gymnasium; D. V. Beede, V. R. Flea
zer and R. B. Eleazer, gymnasium as
sistsnts. ;Il "S SS
These men were paid from six to
eighteen dollars month. Each did
we'll the work required Of him, and
the college is fortunate in having in
it's student body men who can rem
! der such service.
And yet, how we must regret that
our financial resources are so small
| that we must call upon many OF the
best and brightest of our students to
take valuable time from their regular
academic work and give it with very
! little remuneration in this service to
their college.
The enrolment of students this
wear totals 263: 40 seniors, SO jun
iors, GA sophomores, 72 freshmen,
so sub-freshmen and post-gradu-
ates. The attendance to this date
has dropped only about 9 per cent.
In department, classroom work, and
college spirit the record of the stu
dent body has been admirable.
/ Beginning on July 18th, 1921, and
continuing for six weeks, a summer
school for teachers, for conditioned
college students and for applicants
for the freshman class was held by
Newberry and Summerland colleges
at Newberry college. The instruc-
tors were chosen from the faculties
of these colleges. The trustees were
not asked to assume any financial
Iobligations for the summer school,
The school was success. 80 stud
ents were in attendance and the
quality of work done was high.
The faculty of Newberry college
asks permission to conduct such a
school again this year to begin July
10th. 1t asks no financial assistance
but asks your approval and moral
support. The faculty has selected
Prof. Jas. C. Kinard director of the
school, and asks the board to approve
this.
Since the last meeting of the board
death has claimed one of its most
useful and distinguished members
Hon. Geo. S. Mower, of Newberry
! S. c., who had been member of the
board for forty years and for many
years its vice-president, and chairman
of the standing committee, died July
25th, 1921. l am sure the board
will wish to express by formal reso,
luton its recognition Of the great
service rendered sle college by Mr.
Mower and the great loss suffered in
his lamented death.
In November, 1921, the Evangeli-
