Newberry College will open Septem- a
ber '20 for the sixty-first session.' t(
The two days preceding September ^
IS and 19 will be given to examinations c
for entrance. Students from high >
schools who cannot offer the mini- ?
mum of twelve units will be required
to take the examinations ror entrance N
to the Freshman class. This is a
a
standing rule or tlie south laroun^ ^
association of colleges. '
It is expected t-iat the Freshman
c'ass at Newberry this year will be as
large as usual, and there are good ^
reasons for believing it will be the ?
i a
largest in many years. The college
i still maintains a Sub Freshman class, *
i for boys who find it impossible to get
in their home schools the required
, preparation for entrance. This class v
will have a big enrollment next year. n
Besides the large Freshman and Sub c1
Freshman classes there will be the
1 . . . s
usual addition to the upper classes,' '
l particularly the Junior. '
! Tlie dormitories and buildings of r
: the college group have been thoroughly
renovated during the summer vacation.
The boarding hall will agaiii *
b? under the management of Mrs, ^
A. C. Haitiwanger who gave such a
entire satisfaction to the students v
last session. : ^
! Plans are being. laid for the foot
hall season, to play the schedule oi p
games already adopted. Newberry ft
will meet all the colleges on the *
gridiron this fail, having added Clem- 11
son to the list. The game with Pres- ^
byterian college will be played this Thanksgiving
at Clinton. Last session
Newberry won the basketball championship
for the third year in succession.
It also won the baseball championship.
J
.Military training will Tj given a*
the college, as a substitute ror tne
gymnasium work. It was decided that
thisj would prove quite as valuable
as physical exercise, and will also
serve a partiotic purpose. I
Mr. William E. West has been engaged
to give the course in Military
Science and coach the athletic teams.
Mr. West is a graduate of the Oklahoma
State A. and M.1 He comes to
Newberry with a splendlc recorfl as
ail athlete and instructor. ;
Newberry students will miss Prof.
0. B. Cannon when1 the return, in
fact all friends of the college will regret
to learn that he has resigned to
accept the superintendence* of tne
Newberry city schools.' During tne
i
fourteen years of his connection with
the college Prof. Cannon endeared
himself greatly to a host of Newberry
men who learned to admire him for
his scholarship and Tove him for his
sterling character. Arrangements are
being made to supply his chair
mathematics by the time college opens.
