SHALL ANDERSON HAVE A COL LEHE FOU (URLS. Attention i? directed specially to an article on pago three cl' tins is9ue under the caption. "Anderson urged to establish a college for girls." This article is written by a lady, an alumna of the Johnson Female Cni versity, which flourishci1 in Anderson from 1848, when Mrs. Miry IO. Daniel, her sister, Mrs. Charlotte Payne, Judge J. S. Murray ana Ww. H. John son were associated together as in structors, to 1>ti:j, when thc devasta tions of the civil war rendered it tl i Iii - cult to sustain schools of higher edu cation aud caused thc trustees to sus pend this school and sell the property. We fully indorse the objects sought in this well written article. It should bc read hy every one, but particularly by those who ure now und will soon he sending their daughters to college in other cities. However much un insti tute is made to resemble a model Christian home, or thc influences in the school made conducive to Chris lion character, home influences are far more valuable, knitting closer the ties of parent and child and a Hording opportunities to correct objcctiooablc tendencies the knowledge aod correc tion of which could not bc expected in a college faculty. There will, of course, beobatacles in the way in establishing a college for girls in Anderson, but it will be found that they are more imaginary than real, the greatest obstacle being to find one willing to take the matter in hand and push it with that energy which knows not defeat. In this con neotion the Intelligencer believes it can name a young business man of this city whose daughters are not yet old enough tobe sent to college, who will bead the list of contributions with $500, and who, can he be prevailed upon io en gage in thc undertaking, will shortly make the establishment of the college an assured fact, provided, of course, he be given the indorsement and in fluence of some of our more prominent leaders in the commercial enterprises of the city. Anderson is easily leading the State just now in the establishing of manu facturing industries, and the tendency is strongly to a commercialism, if it be not already reaohed, where, in the struggle for the accumulation of wealth and getting of power, our peo ple are inclined to neglect the culture of their finer attributes of nature, neg leot institutions and measures which conduoe most to the well being of their children and society, and lose sight of the fact'that the building and maintenance of colleges in other cities is made possible by their contribu tions. This should not be, and when the true happiness and substantial value flowing from a college foi wooien at home is properly taken into ac count, to say noshing of the benefits which will flow from such a college into commercial channels, it will not long remain so. t It is proposed by this estimable lady in her artiole to purchase as the site of thi3 college the Patrick property, which was the site of the Johnson Female University. This we heartily indorse. This was thc place selected after mature deliberation, be assured, in 1856 by such minds as the following who composed the board of trustees: Elias Earle, J. P. Reed, Daniel Brown, O. R. Broyles, P. S. Vandi ver, Fleetwood Rice, J. C. Griffin, Stephen McCully, V. D. Fant, Elias John Earle, Amaziah Rice, John H. Sloan, B. F. Mauldin, Wm. S. Gris ham, Thomas P. Brockman, Oliver E. Edwards, B. C. Pressley, Ivcrson L. BrookB, J. R. Kendrick, J. P. Boyce, Stanmore B.Brooks, John Brownlee, David S. Taylor, Warren Drummond, James Latimer, Toliver Robertson, L. C. Hinton, A. Hardin, Thomas Hay, John B. O'Neal and Wm. A. Ow ens. The crest of a beautiful hill, in the southern portion of the city, on the west side of main street, surround ed by massive oaks, it appears in con trast with other points in the city, specially designed by nature for a seat of learning, l?ut we have other rea sons for indorsing this place: The ne gro educators in this city have for some time nursed und fostered tho hope that they would one day own this property and erect upon it a col lege for negroes. This has been gen erally known for some time but treat ed indifferently, the people believing, (pardon us for saying it) principally because of a want of correct informa tion, thin there was not the remotest possibility of such a hope materializ ing. We would advise our readers that the Presbyterian Church, North, j has several millions of dollar? for dis- 1 tri but ion, through their Board of Mis- j sion?, for the educational advancement . of the negroes south and it is being ! freely distributed whore this Boara is j satisfied as to conditions, houesty and , qualifications of instructors and cor- : reot religious influences. Tho negro ' educators here know these fact-? and have nut been idle. They have in duced members of this Board of Mis sions to visit Anderson, pressed their I ? 4 claims to be recognized ?ind made 1 prominent the desire t'> purchase this 1 very sile. So near are tho negroes to thc accomplishment of their desires , in this matter that could they secure the indorsement of a few prominent < business men of Anderson to their plans of building a negro college in this city, we verily believe the money , would bc fort! Coming at once. Mr. S. P. Harbison, a member of this board, '. was in the city last week in consulta- 1 tion with J. P. Foster, a prominent \ negro educator, who is in charge of j the school in this city supported by , the Northern Presbyterians, and we would emphasize the fact that thc in- ? activity of thc white people may prob- ! ? ably lead to theadvantageof the negroes j ' and put them in possession this, the ! j most desirable locatiou for a college in I , the city. The money raised for the founding ] of the Johnson University was by 1 subscription prior to 1852and then by sale of scholarships. A similar plan j could be adopted this time. The grand work accomplished by ! hr. Preston in tireen ville in cstab lishing ChicoraCollege, should furnish j an example to our people. Notwith- j standing the fact that the Greenville j Female College had been long ?stab- ' lished and was enjoying the greatest j prosperity, Ch ?cora was built and it is ? an honor to thc State and a magnili- ? cent ornament to our sister city. With a strong pull together and with J denominational lines obliterated, our | people will be surprised to find how j easily "a college for girls" can bc : built. j Denver Dots.
