We all admit that for some time previous to, aud duriug the war, the^ affairs of the College were unfortunately managed, so that we lost a building that had been improperly constructed, and an eu dowmeut that was all invested iu Confederate bond#; and with all this miamanagoinciit, the aaaesU of the College fared about aa well aa the private estates of many of the croak ers who have called forth this arti die.

On the score ot “concealincut.” is it not a lad that the Board of Trus tees—through their Secretary—make on annual report of the affair# of the College to Synod (!), which rejiort, together with the voluminous legis- tion of My nod -ou College matters, is printed iu the minutes and laid be fore the Church. Has it been forgotten that from the 23d to the 23th of July, 1873, My uod met iu special couveution in ►the Iowa of Newberry, for the sole par;mar od considering the affairs of Lb<?

The causes of these intertwli«s features iu our last year’s h»Uor> j w ere several. From the first ^ V 1 ' vear there was a religious inflte#* at work among the young tnea. Tto* was fostered by fervent chapel prayer, private conversation* of (to students ami professors, still intimate talks with fellow stmleato the prayer meeting# of the CUrisUw Asrociafiott. We had some rijto workers amoug th# yonng ib#» t,f last year. I pray that they to able to return, may feel it » duty t* thiu, NewImrry Colfege ha# done!

This imputation ha* several times Iron anonymouidv and disingenuously mail#, and jiortly on the ground of it th# undersigned has, on no les# than three occaaions, tendered his resignat ion as President of the Board; and on the floor of Synod, aud iu the eolutmi* <*f th# Ftoffor, we have eolhil u;m)u those mighty financiers, and unapproachable and iufallible Christian legislators, to come and trite our places, and “run the machine” to speedy and final suc- oe**, but it has been like calling spirit# from the vasty deep. I do uot say that they keep themselves “coneealed,” but alas! for us, we have never Iron able to find them. It only remains for u# to state here, what 1 think we will be able to prove, that Newtierry College gives 1 borough, collegiate education for lew* expense to the Church, to the Board, and to the student, than any other College of like grade in the United State#, and this is attributa »le mainly to the efficiency and laboriotifttieKN of its (acuity.
