Dr. Scherer Remembered by His Co Laborers-Faculty Give Expres sion to Their Esteem. The final meeting of the f -ulty of Newberry college with Dr. James A.-I B. Scherer bcfore his departure fur Pasadena, C:l., was held on Monday evenin. Dr. Scherer has been president of Newberry college for four years, suc ceeding Dr. Geo. B. Cromer. During his term of office the college has grovn both in equipment and enroll ment. More than $100.000 has been added to the endowment fund and several new buildings have been erect ed until at present the equipment and facilities of the institution are second to no denominational college in the State. and it is with much regret on the part of the friends of the insti tution that Dr. Scherer felt called upon to tender his resignation, though, of course, the field to which he goes is much larger and the oppor tunities for work much greater. One feature of the meeting of the faculty on Monday evening in addi tion to bidding Dr. Seherer and his family Godspeed was the presentation to Dr. Scherer on the part of the faculty of a beautiful silver loving cup. The presentation was made by Dr. A. J. Bowers, who is chairman of the faculty until the arrival of the new president. In making the presenta tion Dr. Bowers spoke as follows: _Newberry college h.a' been fortun are in her presidents. Whoever may have preceded him, no ?man before him or since could la;vC excelled the self-sacrificing de 0:ion and the unyielding faith of Dr. J. P. Smeltzer, who cheerfully crave the best years of his being to heroic endeavor to keep alive the dying embers of her life- and fan them to flame once more. At another crisis in her history a w.:en she second - time made Newberry her home, a strong, true manl of God wrought well and long with courageous soul to build again a solid foundation for ,her stay. and no name is dearer to her heart than that of Dr. Geo. W. Holland. In still another crisis Dr. Geo. B. Cromer was called of God and the church to lead her assembling forces to a larger service, and with the steady zeal and faithfulness of a fine, self-denial and the power of a noble endowment of mind and body carried her far forward in her march towards her final triumph. Dr. James A. B. Scherer, too diffi dent to believe that lhe could crown the work of such men, nevertheless under God has (lone it and in achieve ment gone far beyond the fondest hopes of his best friends and most ardlent admirers. Persuaded by the call of a higher duty. after four years of, in some re spects, unparalleled success. lie has today severed his connection with us. In the charmed circle of college life, where earnest men are banded together to solve the problems con fronting those who humbly seek to direct the destinies of the ~young, there are many occasions to bind us to each other with the tender ties of a *deep sympathy formed in the glow of a high resolve and hope. And while we who sit still and labor, lay ing reverent hand to the morning task and the noonday toil, may not ful'ly applreciate the gifts of nature and theC persistence of Spirit in which ano)ther may go forth into the world 's bus ways and return laden with the po)wer to build and equip). yet we will yield to none in sincere appreciation and regard for blessed and .honora ble accomplishment. IIn. this spirit, therefore, we bid failewell to Doctor Scherer'our lhon ored president. Beguiled by the splendor of a noble sphere. may he realize the same measure of success, and greater, with which heaven has blessed him here, and may the same zraee support and guide him, which in trials and disappointments has sus tained him in his efforts to strengthen the cause of Newberry college and Christian education. Dr. Scherer, in the name of the faculty I present you this loving cup. You 'have received many tokens of esteem and many far more valuable than this, but vou have never receiv ed. nor will you ever receive one ten dTred in a sincerer spirit or with a more fervent motive, and we trist yo will not regard this as the least. Dr. Scherer responded in his usual happy style expressing his a)precia tion of the beautiful token of remnem brance on the p)art of his former e; aborer s, The following is the inseription on the loving cup: President James A. B. Scherer, P'a.D. L. L.D., 'From The Faculty of Newberry College, REEDY RIVER ASSOCIATION. Will Meet Today With First Baptist Church-Continue Through Sun day. The Reedv River association will icet with the First Baptist church I today at ten o'dock and will continue I through Sunday.
