Benedic| College, Columbia, S. C, June 22, 1921 Dear Friend: ... PerhapsjVou know that President Valentine! will not be back at Bene dict college next year. The Rev Clarence k Antisdel, whose service as professor of English makes him thoroughly familiar with Benedict's work, wil^ be acting president He has been a missionary to Africa, and has shownj his devotion to the colored people by j a most self-sacrificing life. We hav$ been glad to see the high esteem in j which President Valentine! is held bjj many who came to know him. He jias some rare qualities and gave unstinted and most valuable ser vice to thja school. Professor Antis del gives jevery indication of having the ability,' the devotion to the colored race, the. Christian character and spirit, and) the power to win friends which willj make his work successful. We kno^jr that fiae change of admin istration tfill not interfere with your Interest i? the school. Causes are more important than men. Your loy alty is notj primarily to the man, but to the college. You love the college. It has doi e much, perhaps, to make you what j you are. For your own sake, for t$e reputation of your people and for the welfare of the children of your rjice you will not fail the college at j this time, a time when! larger possibilities open before it than ever before. No radical changes will be made in the plans C/f the school. The purpose will be no^ only to develop the phys ical^ and njental nature, but very es pecially* tjhe spiritual. Particular stress will be laid on the development of the religious life. Great emphasis will be gifen to religious education, the teaching of the Bible and the training f<fr Christian ministry, not alone to train preachers?although this will r?ceive more attention, than ever before?but to train every stu dent to minister, to serve in the Sun day school, the churchy the com munity an4 in the home. Everything, including recreation, athletic train ing and extension of the musical de partment jwill tend to develop the moral character of Benedict's stu dents. But present buildings are insuffi cient and j our endowment provides j only $7,00^ a year of the $30,0001 to tun the school. Literature i m sfet %ut; also a letter fron^ President Valentine] asking for $10 from each one of the alumni to meet an emergency. This sum will be credited toward the $100,000 cam .palgn. Thp $10 contributed will be considered jas the first payment to ward the $jl9.80 asked for each year for five yejars. The General Educa tion Board! gave us $10,000 dollars with the ejxpectation that we would raise $5,000j. Fearing that this $5,000 would not ibe in hand on time, and anxious toj secure it by commence ment, President Valentine asked each one to sen? in promptly part of the $19.50, wit? the hope that the rest would follow as soon as possible. We earnestly hope that you will cooperate most heartily with Acting President jAntisdel in making this drive a success. Etery one of you can give oil get $99 in five years for the school.; Remember this means, in all probability, a continued gift of $10,000 a year from the General Edu cation Board. One dollar from you! for salaries; brings $2 from Northern ' friends, or $1 from you means $3 for the school.; JThe campaign means, also a new mechanical building and other imperatively needed improve ments. Probably there will never 'be a more favorable time to make your gifts for Benedict count so much. A dollar now and for the next few years is worth twice as much as a dollar at many other' times. We ask ybur help to make Benedict still more the pride and joy of South Carolina; t\> make it a greater and a permanent blessing to your chil dren. We jask you to* share in an achievement that you and your race will be prodd of. Remember these points. This cam paign means: (1) You ; (2) Form lor join a Benedict club; (3) Give i>r get (4) $99 iji five years, or $19.80 in each year, $1.65 a month, or 5^ cents j a day. Benedict'*! sons and daughters will not disappoint their friends! Your fellow worker for a greater and a better Benedict, George Rice Hovey, Secretary fir Education of the Amer . lean Bapt st Home Mission Society, Trustee or Benedict College.
