PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE IMS BULIE- —— UN TO OLD AND NtW STUDENTS I am sure you are interested in !■ nowing what is going on at the college. When Commencement comes we arc ready to go home and feel a little tired of college and college life, but, as soon as we reach home we begin to realize how much we jeally love our Alma Mater and what it means to us. About the first question I am asked by old students is: “What are the prospects for the opening this fall?” I am glad to be able to give a good report. Practically all of our old students expect to return and the pros pects are most encouraging for a large Freshman class. The only trouble is that a*good many are applying who are not prepared to enter. I hope &. .. i yjafe—— —*— r furnished with a janitor and the students’ military activities will be prac tically the same as they were under Major de Rohan in the spring. INFORMATION FOR NEW STUDENTS. College opens Tuesday morning, September 9th. The first meal served in the dining hall will be supper t^e previous evening. Students should reach Clinton Monday,‘September 8th. _ * We are naturally asked frequently by prospective students what furni ture they should bring from home. The college does not completely furnish the rooms in the dormitories. This will be done just as soon as students learn to take bdtter care of furniture. i ' , - • In Spencer’s Hall practically every room opens into a furnished bath room. The rooms are furnished with a desk containing shelves for books. This makes it necessary for students to secure for themselves only a chair furnished with desks; therefore, students will have to secure a table or desk Sgaaaratn£erai?T£^^T5r TUr colfeo Tty* 1 11^ with killer aKT'Us wm WoeTfed TSfurles that caused death befere nodical ah .tendon could be procured, while three others lieeseriously wounded at the Columbia hospital as a result of a col- lislon of a southbound Southern Married Four Times And is Father | flight train hnd Mr. Wray's ear at * of Fifty-two Children. * Smallwood. Gaffney Man 90 Years Old Has Seen. Gaffney. — Tbs most remarkable character in Cherokee county, or in deed anywhere in the United States, is John H- Lynch of Cherokee Falls.

Yotrare constantly'coming in rontact with young men-who expect tojenter college this fall; if you will use your influence you can bring them back with you. You know what the college stands for, and you know there is no place where young men can be better trained for the bigger and higher things in life. The second question I am asked is: “What kind of football team are we going to have?” I feel like replying, “Thp best in the State.” I received a letter from Coach Johnson not long ago saying he was now in the United States ready to be discharged, and expected to reach Clinton about the last of August to begin work on his team. Many of our old students expect to return this fall; among them are, MacMillan, McKeown, Marshall Wood- son, Rush Blakely and Eichelberger. These men belonged to the team that defeated every college in the State with the exception of Clemson in 1917. There are still other members of this team in college, which, with the excel lent new material that has come in since then, assures us a winning team this fall. There is also fine material for a winning basket-ball and base ball teams. We are expecting the old students to bring some good athletes back with them. There are some changes in the Faculty. You know that Dr. Hughes will not be back with us. Prof. S.turgeon has been elected to take his place. Prof. Sturgeon has been most highly recommended to me by a personal friend of mine who taught with him in the University of Arkansas. He is said to be a fine scholar, having taken his training at one of the best uni versities in the country, and is an excellent teacher. He has been head of the scientific work in a division of the army, and ranks as first lieutenant. I feel that he is going to make an unusually strong man in the department of Chemistry. It was announced before college closed that Dr. W. E. Hoy would have charge of Biology. He is a young man full of energy and ambition, - He is a PhJX pX Princeton-University and taught-for three years in Rochester University. ' « Major de Rohan has spent the summer at Camp Lee. He expects to be with the College next fall and I hope he will be with us for the next four years. We are now building him a home. I received a letter from the war department recently stating that there was a shortage of officers and .it might be impossible to continue all of the R. 0. T. C. units now organized. I immediately went to Washington and was assured by the head of the department that our unit would be continued, but the officer stated that if some of the units had to he dropped they would naturally give the preference to the ones making the best use of the organization. I received a letter from Major de Rohan stating that while at Camp Lee he had found that his method of conductingTiis R. 0. T. C. at our College was in exact line with the wishes of the Government and that he would have practically no changes to make next year, but he stated that in order to carry out the-wishes of the Government it would be necessary toliave the R. 0. T. C. students by themselves and asked me to put them next year in Spencer’s Hall, which we will do, though 1 am confident that Spencer’s Hall will not hold them all, and the members of the unit will also occupy Alumni Hall. While there will be sdme reguTatiohsTnlhe d0rmitoTies Tbgy - will not Fe under military discipline as it was with.the S. A. T. C. The students will not be greatly crowded together. The dormitory will be mattresses from the Government. They are rented to students for $3.00 a‘year. Any student desiring to rent a bed shoud write'to Professor A. V. Martin. All students should bring from home towels, sheets, pillows, pillow cases and bed covers. It is highly recommended that students bring white spreads for their beds and other things that will make their,rooms look attractive. The college furnishes' janitors for the dormitories, but it is impossible to keep rooms looking attractive without the co-operation of students. All the dormitories are perfectly comfortable, heated by steam and furnished with an abundance of hoi and cold water. If there is any further information desired write to the President.
