John Bach man, D. D., L.L. D., exercises were beld s.t Newberry college commem morative 'to Founders' day. This was the first time in the history of this institution of learning that exer cises of this character have been held, nd it was indeed a very pleasant and yrofitable occasion. The night was simply ideal as there was a full moon in our Southern skies ad the air was almost springlike, ~ien the largieauditorium at Hol land Hall was comfortably filled, some chairs having to .be used in the Before the exercises proper began audience was most delightfully ytertained with music by the college 'hestra and the Glee club. Rev. J. D. Bowles, of Coronaca, opened the exercises with prayer, af ter which President J. H. Harms in a few well chosen words explained Ahe Ira son the day had been set apart as a holiday at Newberry college. He Itated that by a very wise enac.tment under a very wise statute of Newber ry college the fourth of February 'had been set apart to be known as Foun ders' Day by that institution, and ihat this day has been selected be cause it was the anniversary of the birthday of one who perhaps more Sthan any other one person had exer cised an influenee over the establish ent and early years of the infant ollege away back in the early fifties. He frther stated that in the begin ning of these exercises it was fully appropriate that a sketch of this no-. ble man, Dr. John Bachman, should be read. Rev. G. P. Voigt, one o. the profes sors of -the college, then read a wel repar?d and entertaining sketch of e life of Dr. Baehman. On account f this sketch being so well read and o nterestingly written it was listen to miost attentively.

T HE BEE I 1818, recommended the founding of the theological and classieal insti,tu 'tion at Lexington which in time grew to be Newberry college. It was he who was so actively interested in the establishment of the college at New berry in 1855, and his na.me heads the list of i'ncorporators in the charter granted -the institution by the State legislature in 1856. It 'is, therefore, eminently fitting that, on this his birthday, we should review briefly the life and character of this eminent man who during his lifetime played such an important part in the history of our ehurch and college. "John Bachman was born in the little town of Rheinbeek, N. Y., on the 4th of February, 1790. His par ents were plain German people, noted, however, for their sturdiness and deep piety. Lit.tle is known of his early life except that, while yet a mere boy, he showed a most unusual fondness for natural history. He would spend hours upon hours, in roaming through the mountains which surrounded his home. Being very anxious to possess some books on natural history, and having no means wherewith to pur hase them, he set 'to work to earn the necessary money by eatching beaver and other fur-bearing animals, and s'elling their skins. With the as sistance of his brother he in time hap pily secured sufficient funds to pur chase the coveted books. As a boy he was strong in body, buoyant of spirit, hopeful in temperment, and very fond of outdoor games. This ~buoyancy and hopefulness he retained throughout his life. In the course of a few years he entered William Col lege, at Williamston, Mass. Here he buckled down to his studies with ex eptional assiduity; so much so that even his iron constitution gave way, and to his great disappointment, he was forced to leave college without his degrees, 'and to seek his lost h.alth in the mountain air of his home. It was a bit'ter ,trial for the ambitious youth, but his spirit was not broken. After 'a period of rest and recuperation, he again took up his studies, this time privately, and soon -afterwards decided to prepare himself for ,the Christian ministry. He spent several years of ~study un der his pastor and in Philadelphia, nd in 1813 became the pastor of his VD tave to buy seasonable into cash by the first of ig to move.

It was in 1815 that he received an urgent -eall from St. John's eongregation, Charleston, to become its pastor. After careful con sideration, he decided -to accept the call and go South, and this same year commenced his remarkable pastorate at St. John's, which continued for a period of 50 years, and ended only with his dleath in 1875. Not long af ,ter his arrival in Charleston he was united in marriage to Miiss Harriet Martin, daughter of Rev. John M. Martin, and their union was blessed with a large family of devoted child ren. The young minister plunged in to his newv work with a zeal and a tat that led to an abundant prosper itv in the affairs of his church, and which attracted the at-tention of his fellow ministers- in the city and State. He was elected president of the new ly born ,South Carolina Synod for eight successive terms, and, to use the words of a contemporary, was 'the leading spirit of .the body.' 'In 1835 the degree of D. D. was conferred up on him by Pennsylvania college. It was in the fall of 1831, that Dr. Bach man formed an acquaintanceship which influenced greatly his whole future. The great ornithologist, Au dubon, visited Charleston at that time, and before he left the city he and Dr. Bachman were fast friend. From this time on Dr. Bachiman pursued his studies in natural history with in creasing interest, and together with Audubbn commenced to labor on that monumental work which bears the name of the la.tter, 'Audubon's Birds of America,' but in the pre paration of which the former had no mean part. On account of failing health Dr. Baehman was compelled to, go to Eu rope in 1836. Here he met many distinguished scientists, among them the great Humboldt, and was everywhere kindly received. After his return to America, he, in 1838, re eived the honorary degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of 'Berlin in recogien of his scienti fi labors, and in Lae years that fol lowed he was elected member of al most every scientific association in Ameria and Europe. In 1347 an other great scientific work, p)repared by Audubon and himself, appeared. This ,time it was the "Quardrupeds of Audubann."

All parties holding on or before March the first b EHI met Louis Agassiz, then professor at Harvard University, whose sc.ientifie views the later attacked in a celebrat ed work: 'T.be Unity of the Human Race.' "Dr. Bachiman, with his church and scientific work, was already a very busy man, but in 1848, he accepted the ehair of Natural History in the college of Charleston, at the end of which he was forced by the pressure of church duties to give up this posi tion. For some years the stream of his life iflowed smoothly and rapidly on until in 1853 a notable .religious controversy broke out in the city of Charleston. A Roman Catholic ald erman published what he denominat ed, "awful disclosures'' professing to convict Martin Luther of immoral teahing. Dr. Baehman felt it to be his duty to take up the gauntlet thus thrown down, and he did so with a telling vigor, much to the delight of his friends and the discomfiture of his foes. From that time on his pub lie life was not particularly 'eventful. During the dark days of the Civil War and of Reconstruetion, he re mined faithfully at his posat except when he was on the bat-tlefield minis tering to the wants of the wounded soldiers. Towards the end of the six ties he began to show signs of feeble ness, and he grew gradually weaker and weaker until in 1875 he breathed his last. Amid the lamentations of a whole city he was laid to rest in a vault beneath the altar of the chureh he had so faithfully served.'' At the close of this sketch the Glee Club Sang, "I'm gwine back to Dix ie.' This piece wvas encored so much that they reappeared and sang, "All on a Suniday morning.'' President Harms then introduced Dr. W. H. Greever, the distinguished editor of the Lutheran Church Visit or, who made a scholarly address on the value of an educational institution and more 'especially on *a Christian educational insti,tution, a church and denominational institution. He paid a glowing tribute to Dr. Bachman and his work, also to what the Lutherans had done in the State, and what New berry college had been able to rise to thrugh these past fifty years. He said that the college was founded first by the Lord, then through the chureh, an poaclarly throh those heroesj LCi e it about 55 and 60 < en notified to vacate (Y z and trouble we will en i / selling marchandi [-- Co , or what it will c 60 cents on the dollar. 36 doz.

He said: "He stands before us as the representation of the best of those who were associated with him, and of .those who have followed him with honor.'' He further said that New berry college had; been founded "Pri marily to prepare men for the gospel ministry and later, under the Provi dence of God to do the larger work of preparing young men for 'the most intelligent and effective Christian srvic'e of which they are capable, in whatever sphere of life -they may act.'' He closed with reminding the faculty and students of the glorious future which was open to the chureh college. Musie was then furr.ished by the orchestra, after which Prof. Derrick awarded the banner which President Harms had offered to -the class in physical culture iuig the highest score. This banner was given to the Senior class, their score being 33 points. At the suggestion of Presi dent Harms the college yells were~ given, and harmonious, sweetly, and patriotic&lly the boys sang to thie honor of the "Scarlet and the silver gray.'' *This was joined in by many of 'the men of the audience whose har is now gray bmi whose hearts are ever young when the college yell is proposed, and their gray hairs did not keep them from enjoying a yl of by-gone days of the "scarlet and the silver gray.'' The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Kinard. FIELD DAY EXERCISES. Good Records Made In Athletics at College Park On Founders' Day.
