C. m m wm, Dedication of Fine Arts Build ing at the Greenville Wo man's Building. . Dear Advertiser: Please allow me space in your col umns for a brief outline, by a visitoi in the college, who attended the dedi cation of the Fine Arts Building. In the beginning I wish I had the powei to describe this exquisite piece of ar chitecture. Words fail when I gaze on such splendor. Indeed, "a thing ol beauty is a joy forever." This is con sidered one of the handsomest struc tures in the South, with a cost of $160,000.00. The auditorium seats something over twelve hundred persons, being sixty feet wide, one hundred feet long and height of fully thirty feet. At 2:30 Friday afternoon, Decem ber 1, the program opened by the singing of the Alma Mater, followed by prayer by Dr. D. M. Douglass, Dr. Ramsay presiding over the meeting. The following presidents of col leges or worthy representatives were introduced, each educator bringing greetings from their own institution to the college and congratulating both Dr. Ramsay and the Baptist denomi nation for such a structure. The speeches came in the following order: Anderson, Chicora, Citadel, Clem son, Coker, College of Charleston, Converse, Due West, Erskine, Fur man, Lander, Limestone, Medical College of Charleston, Newberry, Presbyterian Theological Seminary, University of South Carolina, Wes leyan, Winthrop, Wofford, and even the Theological Seminary at Louis ville, Ky. The coming of these representa tives from colleges for men and wo men, both denominational and state, is an interesting feature in the col lege history and a significant fact in itself that such busy men should turn aside for an event of this kind. At 8:30 o'clock we assembled again J in the auditorium where we listened ^ to a most eloquent address, "Woman ' in Modern Life," by Edgar Allen Young, D. D., L. L. D., of the Theo logical Seminary at Louisville; the man known all over the world as one of the greatest living Baptists. Cer tainly this subject was handled in a masterly way, and here I must say to the women that he advocates wo men geing to the polls. , All thoroughly enjoyed this won- 1 derful address from such a wonderful man. This meeting was presided over by Mayor Hyde of Charleston, chair man of the Board of Trustees. After the address a formal dedi ?ation of the building followed. In this I feel sure Dr. Ramsay was the lappiest one in the auditorium when the keys were presented to him. This was indeed impressive-this building to stand as a monument to him for lis life of service devoted to the edu cation of our girls. Wo all share in ;hese congratulations. Saturday at 4 p. m., .1 processional pageant was put on as a part of the iedicatory evercises, Miss Floride DuPuy, physical director of the col ege being chairman cf the general :ommittee, this pageant showing forth the growth of Greenville and ;he college, being participated in by ;he college, the alumnae, Furman University, Chamber of Commerce, ll Banks, men's and women's organiza ;ions, mills and business houses. The me of march leaving the college and -hen returning, with the floats all nassed on the college campus, 50 in lumber, stopped, where a word of greeting was heard from the mayor )f Greenville and others. At 8:30 we again assembled in the rast auditorium for the sacred con :ert of' 100 voices under the direc non of Mr. George M. Schaefer, head )f the music department of G. W. C. The vesper services marked the :losing exercises on Sunday at four j'clock. The writer having to say goodbye to loved ones and newly formed friends at 1:30 p. m., was un ible to attend this closing service. Mon.
