PRESENTED WITH LOVING OUP. Dr. Scherer Remembered by His CoLaborers?Faculty Give Expression to Their Esteem. The final meeting of the faculty of Newberry college with Dr. James A.* B. Scherer before his departure for Pasadena, Cal., was held on Monday evening. Dr. Scherer has been president of Newberry college for four years, succeeding Dr. (Jco. B. Cromer. During his term of office the college has grown both in equipment and enrollment. More than $100,000 has been added to the endowment fund and several new buildings have been erected until at present I he equipment and facilities of I lie institution are second to no denominational college in the St;ile, ami it is with much regret on the part of the friends of the institution that Dr. Scherer felt called upon to lender his resignation, I hough, of course, the field to which he goes is much larger and the opportunities for work much greater. One feature of the meeting of the faculty on Monday evening in addi-1 lion to bidding' Dr. Scherer and his laniily (iodspccd was the presentation to |>r. Scherer on the part of the faculty of a beautiful silver loving Clip. I lie presentation was made by Dr. A. .1. Bowers, who is cluiirman of the I acuity until the arrival of I lie new president. In making the presentation Dr. Dowers spoke as follows: Newberry college has been fortunate in her presidents. Whoever may have preceded him, uo >11.111 before him or since could bav" excelled the sel I'-sacri I'jcing de "o i ?11 ami the unyielding faith of Dr. .1. I'. Smell/.er, who cheerfully j'.-ive the best years of bis being to I'oic endeavor to keep alive the dying embers of her life and fan t ieni to flaiue .nice more. I At aunt her crisis in her history : w.;-en she second time made j Newberry her home, a strong, true man of (ioi] wrought well and long with courageous soul to build again :i solid foundation for her stay, and ii" mime is dearer to her heart than that oi Dr. (Jco. W\ Holland. In still another crisis Dr. (Jco. B. Cromer was called of Cod and the church to lead her assembling forces to ;i larger service. and with the steady zeal ami failhfulness of a line, sel I -denial and the power of a noble endowment of mind and body carried her lar lorward i:i her march towards her final triumph. Dr. James A. 15. Scherer, too diffident to believe that he could crown the work of such men. nevertheless under Cod has done it and in achicveI nii'Mt gone far beyond the fondest I hopes of his best friends ami most anient admirers. Persuaded by the call of a higher duty, alter tour years of, m some respects. unparalleled success, he has today severed his connection with us. In the charmed circle of college lite, where earnest men are banded together to solve the problems controut ing those who humbly seek to direct the destinies of the voung, there are many occasions to hind us to each other with the tender lies of a deep sympathy formed in tlit* glow "I ' high resolve and hope. And while we who sii still and labor, laving reverent hand to the morning jt:i-M\ and the noonday toil, may not tullv appreciate the gil'f.<? of nature and Me persistence of Spirit iu which I another may go forth into the world's j bu-y ways and return laden with I he power to build ami ci|iiip, yet we will yield to none in sincere appreciation and regard lor blessed and honorable accomplishment. j In I his spirit, therefore, we hid i farewell to Doctor Scherer," our lionore.1 president. Beguiled by the splendor of a noble sphere, may he realize the same measure of success, ami greater, with which heaven has blessed him here, and may the same grace support and guide him, which in trials and disappointments has sustained him in his ettorts to strengthen the cause of Newberry college and Christian education. Dr. Scherer, in the name of the faculty I present you this loving cup. on -have received many tokens of e>!eem and many far more valuable than this, but you have never received, nor will you ever receive one ten| dered in a sincerer spirit or with a more fervent motive, and we trust you will not regard this as the least. Dr. Scherer responded in his usual happv style expressing his appreciation of tlie beautiful token of rememj hrance on the part of his former or.l:t borers, The following is the inscription on I he loving cup: President James A. B. Scherer, Pii.D L. L. D., . - NFrom j The Faculty of Newberry College, Sept. In, 1008. REEDY RIVER ASSOCIATION. Will Meet Today With First Baptisi Church?Continue Through Sunday.
