WELCOME WOMEN! A GRAET COLLEGE OPENS WIOE ITS portals. Opening of the Wlnilirop Normal am Industrial Institute Under Most Aug piclous Circumstances?J'ride of all tin People. Rock ITill, Oct. 15.?This is a red * ? ... ~ 1 TT-Ml letter day in the History oliiock run, The Winthrop Normal and Industrial College was today opened to students under most favorable auspcies. There are already here two hundred and sixty-five girls. There were probably a hundred stu dents on the train from Columbia yes terday afternoon coming from many different parts of the State. They were a jolly set?laughing and talking and singing quite a different tune from the one many of them will very likely sing after they have been here a few days and begin to long for home. As the train pulled out of the Blanding streei station the girls tried their lungs by giving the following yell: Ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, re, hurrah for the girls of W. N. C. When the train stopped at Chester they greeted that town with the same yell. The train reached Rock Hill about 8 p. m.? a half hour late?and was met by quite a number of the citizens of Rock Hill?men and women. Street cars and vehicles of various descrip tions conveyed the crowd to the magnificent college building, which was brilliantly lighted with electricity to welcome its future occupants. The difficult task of assigning the girls to rooms was finally accomplished, and they were soon dreaming dreams 'neath the roof of as fine a college building as can be found in the South. When they awoke this morning they saw above them a lowering sky that threatened to send rain during the day. Though the heavens do not smile on the college at its opening the citizens of Rock Hill certainly do. The whole town is swelling with pride at its achievement in securing the institution. If there is one thing in the State into which no politics enters it is surely this collee-e. The attendance is made up of the daughters of South Carolinians of various creeds. Senator Tillman's two daughters are here, as are the daughters of some of his most earnest opponents. Dr. Curry, who was expected to be Sresent to make the address of the ay wrote that he was unable to come, much to the regret of citizens and visitors alike. This unlooked-for mishap shortened the proceedings somewhat. The address on behalf of the citizens of Rock Hill by Mr. W. J. Roddey and the reply thereto was made by Governor Evans. Senator Tillman then delivered his speech. The teachers are here and tomorrow the regular school work will begin. The lighting, heating and cooking apparatus are in good working order. To go into the power house and see the huge boilers thei-e for heating the school and running the laundry one would almost think an engine for running a good-sized factory was be lore one. xae ouuuiug is a muuci auu modern one in every respect. The entire interior is of dark stained oak, and presents a beautiful appearance There is only one corner of the entire building where the sunlight does not penfetrate and President Johnson says he will have a gas jet constantly burning there. The chapel or auditorium is probably more beautiful than any such place or anv theatre in the State with the possible exception of Sumter's beautiful opera house. Over the stage is a beautiful painting of the South Carolina coatof arms by Rock Hill'sown artist, Mr. H. A. Brown. The painting is from a photograph of Mrs. T. C. Robertson's original painting. $a?h of the 260 dormitory rooms is furnished with two single beds, a wash stand, a table and chairs; is heated b v steam and thoroughly ventilated, rphaoa in iwim fni> 240 cirls in the dor AUU \J UJ *Wk/4M ? p mitories?the remaining rooms being for the use of teachers. All students over this number will have to get board in the homes of the citizens of Bock Hill, for which ample provision has been made by President Johnson, and. the hard working Rock Hill members of the board of trustees, Dr. T. A. Crawford and Mr. W. J. Roddey. The school will have a well-equipped. gymnasium and a swimming pool. The water for drinking purposes and fire protection is all that could be desired. An enormous tank has been placed on the roof of the main building just beneath the clock tower, into , Which clear, healthy water is pumped from five artesian wells that have been sunk in the neighborhood. From the tank the water is conveyed by pipes to all parts of the building. The building is surrounded by hydrants to insure a bountiful supply of water in case of fire. A large basin has been sunk near the college into which the rain water from the building will be ? 3 a.j J ao r> vtoeom'a cim. conaucieu auu ucw <u ? ^ ST in case of extreme need at afire. 1 in all the building is most complete. If a most flattering beginning is any indication of permanent success the success of the Winthrop Normal and Industrial College of South Carolina is certainly assured. It is said that the girls will be taken to Atlanta in November, along with the cadets from Clemson College. Before noon today the sun came f rom behind the clouds and made Winthrop's initial day a bright one. The spaciousauditorium wascrowded when snortly after the hour of noon Gover nor Evans, acting as master of cere monies, announced that the exercises would begin with the singing of the long metre doxology. The 105 psaln was then read by Rev. Mr. Morley and prayer offered by Rev. A. Sprunt After the solo "Santa Maria" had beet sung by Mrs. Brown, Governor Evani introduced "r* itr i urvnwpv inrv, n v. who made a pretty speech in the nami . *" of the citizens of Rock Hill. He sak that from beholding" a drop of watei an expert logician might infer a possi ble Atlantic or Pacific. If an exper logician were to look upon this build ing and this audience he would proba bly arrive at three deductions. First Such a creation in stone and mortar i the embodiment of a magnificent idej ?all honor to the conception whicl was the birth of the Winthrop Norma college, and which by its force carrie< the people of the State. Second. Tli< people are to be admired who woul< take up with enthusiasm such an idea and third. He would be filled witl unbounded enthusiasm for Rock Hill the pride of South Carolina, whicl paid $00,000 to get this institution These three factors have contribute< to its erection. Whether it be a mon 5 ument to Tillman, to South Carolinj or to Rock Hill it is a "corker" an< there is no mistake about it. Rocl Hill will do her duty dy the colleei 1 in the future. Rock Hill can poin - with pride to what she has done anc with still greater pride to what sh< 5 will do. He predicted that before tin end of the cemury this town will hav< [ 12 or 15,000 inhabitants. He hope< that soon Rock Hill will be the great j est city and this institution the great . est school in the State. The trustee: have done their part. If the student would do theirs success will have beer obtained, and this willibe the greates female college in our fair southland ? WT? t \TO UUViSHNUK A-^O. Al the conclusion of Mr. Roddey'i ? speech Governor Evans in reply spok< I in substance as follows: In behalf of the State of South Car . lina and the board of trustees it is i . pleasant duty for me to declare this ' institution ready sor business. In do ing- so we have cause for pride in be half of our State equal to that of Roci Hill, and in behalf of the State I de sire to tnank the citizens of Rock Hil for their energy in the upbuilding ol their city and of this institution When other cities were wrangling from political motives as to whicfc should have the honor of building th( school Rock Hill said: ''It is for South Carolina's jewels, and we will build the school/' To the students of zoology it is in teresting to note the evolution of wo man from the time she was a beast ol burden til l she became a helpmeet foi man and then a beautiful hothoust bud for the adornment of the parlor. But that is not final evolution. Thai was the old idea that she was fit only to frranft the Darlor. and that educa o # JLT 11 t # tioa of her in the industrial arts is spending money for purposes for which education was not intended. This idea is familiar to your mothers, who are the greatest mothers that ever lived. For this greatness, however, they are not, indebted to your fathers or to their fathers or to their brothers, but to their Maker. When at the close of the war the father returned home without having a plough or a sword to beat into a plough, it was the wife's noble spirit that made him a hero in adversity as well as in prosperity. It was her spirit that told him never to put nis hand to the plow and then turn back. To our women we owe this and more. They have contended for their rights and have at last begun to get them; she is developing into the new woman?such a one as will go forth from the Winthrop Normal college prepared to assume woman's duties anywhere. That is the object of this school. Parlor butterflies are not the mothers of statesmen, or the women who exert influence on their country. The days when work was a disgrace to a woman are past. We are going to teach woman to reason, and expunge from her vocabulary her old reason "because" married men say that though women can't reason in work they always reach the right conclusion. We hope that graduates of Winthrop will be able to give tkeir mothers the reason 4'why." Turning to Senator Tillman, Gov. Evans said: "When you die, if no marble slab covers your grave, or no shaft is erected in your capital city the people of the State will always point with pride to this institution and saying behold his monument, will be in the hearts of the people. The shaft may fall, the marble may crumble, but the heart of the woman is always true." Gov. Evans then announced tnat the expected orator of the day, Dr. J. L. M. Curry, had been unable to come. His letter of regret was read by Mr. J. E. Ellerbe. Gov. Evans then in half of the trus tees turned the college over to PRESIDENT D. B. JOHNSON who spoke as follows: "It is with a full heart and a deep sense of the responsibility resting upon me and my colleagues that I . stand here at-the threshold of the work assigned us and assume the sacred charge committed to us by the board of trustees. I feel that the opportunity for accomplishing good is unbounded, that here may be orignated the most telling and far-reaching forces in the society of the State. The idea, of artificial growth, that woman was created for ornamental purposes only that she had not the acterstrength of mind and purpose and character to grapple successfully with the highest intellectual problems and the earnest practical questions of life is rapidly passing, nas passed away. Such a n idea could not withstand the many successful demonstrations to the contrary. Jane Austin, George Ellioit, Mrs. Browning, Miss Mitchell, the astronomer, Miss Faucett and a host of others have conclusively proven in the field of literature, ol science and in other fields that' the as sumption of intellectual superiority or the part of the lords of creation waj unwarranted, and that all that women needed to show their equal abilities, to say the least, was a chance. South Carolina proposes to give them this chance in this noble institu i tion, and I feel confident as I lool upon the bright faces of the young , ladies before me that the} will utilizt it worthily. A civilization can be gauged bv th< treatment received by women under it In darkest Africa the woman is th< t slave, the burden bearer. In Chris tian lands, where the light of the Cos i pel is brightest and the civilizatior t therefore the best, she is liberated front this serfdom, this suppression, and hei . power set free to accomplish the grea j results already sec down to her credi i in such lands. How appropriate i then, that she sould have been last a , the cross and first at the sepulchre . and how unnatural that any womai x today should not be a follower of th s lowly Nazarene whose life and deatl have brought so much of life and ligh to her. The new social conditions o 5 the present and the probable, develop 1 merit of the near future demand, ne r more for woman's sake than for th - sake of society, higher technical edu t cation for women. There have beei - great changes in her activities and n - sponsibilities in the last half centur . everywhere, but nowhere have the; s been greater than in the south, wher a as a result of the civil war has occui i red one of the greatest social revolt 1 tions of modern times, which ha 1 brought southern women face to fac a with the unfamiliar problem of sell 1 support. Hence the special need c normal and industrial training for th i women of the south. , It is to be hoped that every souther l State will speedily awake to this neec . They have all long since made an 1 provision for their sons, but, in - particular, many of them have se i ingly failed to realize that the Sta 1 welfare is more dependent upon c women, on account of their grei j influence upon society and citizem t through the home, where are orij 1 ated the forces which determine 3 character of the community, the S 2 and the nation. All great men h 2 had great mothers. 1 The relation of woman is close - the government of the State, for w - women are educated the child s never grow up in ignorance. 1 s happiest people are the best edua i people. All governments are loo t upon in accordance with the way t . treat their women. This institutio a monument to reform, for it is a I s reform. The idea was conceived t 5 great mind, who, upon his hutr farm, studied the abuses of his ti 1 1 I ] _ J - UIJU lias JLiau CICOICU ILIIO muuumvu i his State if not to himself, s It is with pride that we are able - say that South Carolina nobly m the highest test of her enlightenm< r While maintaining for the benefi her sons the South Carolina coll< I the Citadel and Clemson college, f has responded to the demands of lc . patriotism and justice in behalf of f most numerous and important bod; i her citizens?her fair .daughters?i i has made provision for the educati i the training of all their Grod-gi 1 faculties and abilities to prepare tb to make good homes, good comn schools ana a good support for thi selves and for those dependent ' them if need be.

( After the close of Professor Jo son's speech, the audience was trea to some instrumental music bv Pro : sor Brown and Miss Waddill. Go1 nor Evans then introduced as father of industrial education in So Carolina, SENATOR B. R. TILLMAN, who said: "The divine bard who into the mind of Mark Antony arotion over the body of Caesar i . these words: "Theeril that men r,ffnrt iViann Kilt ift IIV CO CXI ouvuif vuv vuw M i interred with their bones." The ] son must be apparent to any one fi . the allusions that have been made two or three of the speakers tha i speak of somewhat under embarr ing conditions. I have been cred i by some of the gentlemen who sp ' in advance of me with being the o i inator of the idea whose creation have witnessed today. There are ti . when words seem poor and ineffeel ' from their inability to convey pro: ly the thoughts tfiat come into mind of man. Such an occasioi l this is one of them, as most of > understand. When I began nine y< t ago to agitate the question of inc , trial ana technical education for i aud women both as almost the c ) way in which South Carolina cc - build up her waste places, there ; nothing of the kind nere. In five y< j we seeClemson and Winthrop, wl > were erected at a cost of a half mil dollars. Some have called me J originator of this?let the credit g . whom it may. God be blessed thai ^ Havfi it. You will understand that it was - expectation that we should have to 1 as the orator Hon. J. L. M. Cu i southern agent of the Peabody fi r His letter explains his absence, t until yesterday I thought that t part on the programme would , merely that of one of the boarc t trustees. ; There are a number of things 11 i to say to these young ladies before e and to this faculty we have sele> i regarding the work we have laid t for them to do. The year 1895 wil f down in the history of this comn ?- wealth as an epoch. Our prospe will point to it and say: "Here w< e gan the upbuilding of South Ca l- na." Why do I say this? The i today in the capital of this Sti >- gathering of represensatives of y commonwealth for the purposf y framing a new Constitution?a e f ramed oy South Carolinians for Si *- Carolinians, and under which i- must live, xms scnooi, wmcn .s open marks an epoch in our hist e will always be pointed to as ha f- been inaugurated in the year 1 >f Now what have we a right to es e from this school? for I will not d upon the Constitution; I only a n ed to it in passing. I say wit I.

We have had turater moil and strife and households have ship been divided, but let us hope for this *in- school as for Clemson that it will be the for the upbuilding of the people and tate the State. What do v/e need most in ave South Carolina? Education. How are we to get it? By raising more money s to by taxation, and by sending out more hen trained teachers to lead the children, ren Most of you will go from this house The with a deeper sense of the need of ited which I speak. I feel that I appeal to ked your sense as well as to your sensibilihey ties in speaking of this school which n is marks an epoch such as no other in;rue stance in our history can afford. Who >v a of you have not been impressed with lble the beauty and magnificence of these me, buildings? I say without hesitation we t to have in this building the most mag mnceni insiiiuuon 01 muruiu^ m tuc i to South. Some may be disposed to say eets that we have spent money lavishly, 3nt. that we have expended more than we t of needed. But there has not been any}ge, thing small or picayunish connected she with our building; we preferred to >ve, build largely rather than have a poor the cheap John college, f Mr. President and members of the faculty, we, the board of trustees,have on) done our part as far as we were able; ven we know there are many defects, that iem the appliances and apparatus are not aoa all that could be desired, but we look em" with confidence to the State to support on it. Upon you and your associates will depend whether this school will emthe body the great work we have marked ln? out for it. The fitting of its pupils for ? a their work in life, so that no matter 1"e under what conditions they live, they i?n may be equipped for it. If the faculty ber will remember that they were selected from a large number of applicants, in " some cases from 200 to 500,tney should ier" feel complimented. I speak without er? hesitation when I say that we have se5351 lected the best that we could obtain. en" It would be almost a miracle if we ,n?e had not made some mistakes, but I 1 m serve notice on you tnat 11 we nna Jse* that we have a weed or noxious flower ll?g in this garden of ours, we will unthe doubtedly pluck it up and cast it ob- forth. A Roman story-teller relates that on ind one occasi?n some of the noblest ladies in Rome, wives of Senators and ^ other great men, were comparing their ens 3ewels? one' showing a diamond tiara. , f another a ring, another a bracelet ana so on, when one of the ladies unnoticed by the others, left the room. She presently returned, leading her two md ^7 boys, twins *(the senator forgot there was about 12 years difference in * the ages of the boys) and presenting j them to the ladies, who rose at her ' approach, said: "These are my jewels." I don't think there is any worn an more venerated in Roman history than that matron?the mother of the j t Gracchi. Her two sons lost their lives in a struggle with the aristocracy for 2' the emancipation of the masses. But B the words of that matron have echoed down the corridors of time. Can I i * not say with pride, to youyoung ladies, ind ^at you are Carolina's jewels? f We have brought you here to this institution of higher education for the a purpose of training. j You will remember, or if not, I will I2 tell you that some of the most beautij ful gems are dull and lustreless stones j :t. when taken from the mine. It takes Iter and polishing, sometimes a great deal of it, to bring out the light ure *he Creator put into them, and which we see in the perfect gem. You ~ are. jewels, and as I look upon you I do not wonder at the eloquence of my bachelor friend here. There is hope " for mm yet, laaies. .bui 10 reiuru vu 1^7? the simile. You are here to have the t grinding and polishing that the gem ible re(lu^pes> to be shaped to perfect womj anhood, you who are the hope of the the State. You have come here from the )m graded and common schools, some, perhaps, without many of the opportunities which you ought to have had. Let me give you a word of encouragement. It is this: A. great thinker mis fes- gaid, "He who trains his faculties to ^?r* the utmost of their possibility and he the wh0 does the duties that he before uth him has made a success." Do your best, angels can do no more. And I only hope that if some of you are conput fronted with the problem of having a the worthless husbana to care for you lses may be able to support him. Do the dn best you can and I feel sure you will oft succeed. I know you must be hungry rea. from the expression of your eyes. I om want to say one thing, however. The 5 hy thought is recalled to my mind by the t "J view of this beautiful rosebud garden ass- of birds. Bobby Burns the great Scot[ted tish poet whose genius is revered by oke Scotchmen and all English-speakrig. ing peoples, loved women better, I -we think, than almost any man who ever mes lived, judging from the tribute he ;ual Pays to them in his verse, and this is per what he says: the ?oid Nature swears 1 93 The lovely dears, y?u Her greatest work she classes, 0, ?ars Her 'prentice hand *us" She tried on man, n?n And then she made the lassies, O." >nly >uld Now I say in parting I will carry was with me to my dying day the memory jars your bright faces.
