tions of learning in the land. Every- I' where the thoughtless judge their ( worth and their utility by their size, li Bigness l'roni their standpoint is the s touchstone of educational efficiency, j) From carefully compiled aaid inter- 1< esting statistics we find that those ? who have achieved success came not t from tho big colleges. Carefully compiled figures reveal the fact, first that it is the smaller colleges that ji yield the nation it slargest numbei r of successful men; and secondly, that !i the percentage of success among the ? students of tho smaller schools is ( larger than it is among the students s of tin; flourishing universities. The j pre-eminent place, both as to the to- h tal yield of successful men and the p percentage of successful men and the i percentage of success goes beyond a y doubt to your smaller schools, iii w many cases schools erected by (lie / sacrifice and hallowed by the prayei t< and endowed by the loyalty and the ^ pride of the Christian people of flit, fi land. You must give the college boy b love, you must give him comradeship, e< you must somehow touch his springs fi of manhood, and honor, and ambi- ej tion, and flu* only way to do that is d with friendship. We need to bring a a man up to his kingly stature, to give. t< him arl. I lie Divine aesthetic impulse, d communion wilh the upward soaring h minds of jill the ages. In a word, a v college worlh the name must stand i? tl man on his own feet, and say to him: d 'Think! sir, think! For thought is kingly. Tt is Hod-like and divine." S And for this reason I believe in olas- c; sic languages. 1 believe in art ami o cultnre. I believe in the college beau- e< til fill. 1 believe in attractive grounds c< and buildings. I believe in the ap- o pea! lo every student's sense of ordci a and of (asfe and of refinement. I sj believe in il because it belongs to tho ii ideal, (lie education of the entire man. s "|iu(, (lie last .'third of education is f the appeal lo Hie distinctly sipirituai. u Christian education only is ideal. * quote these significant words of one 11 who was no friend of the religious in 1 education, Prof. Iluxley. lie says:'1 > have always been strongly in favoi 1 of secular education, in the sense of v education without theology, bill 1 a must confess I have been no less seriously perplexed to know by what practical measures I he. religious feel- ^ ing, which is Hie essentia! basis of j conduct, was to be kepi up without the use of the Rible.' "Christian education is the cap- ( stone of man's development. , "In short, my friends, (he aim of ( education is thai golden word, eluu- ( acter. Character is the power to set ^ surpassing beauty in God and Cod's , "world. The ideal system must also t have an eye to Hie development ot the body. It goes almost without saying I hat a college ought to have ;? ^ well appointed gymnasium. 1'aluea- . tion is not the process of putting things into a man. Tt is the process of gelling things out of him. "Finally, I he spirit of the ideal college is three fold. First of all ii \ is the spirit of kindness. T would I have a college where kindness wa.*. the ruling virtue. Oh, kindness! lei it crown the whole curriculum! Lcl it grace each hall and class room. Lei it shine in every college banner. 'He ye kind, one to another.' ".More 1 hau the spirit of kindness ideal culture thrills wilh that otlie. spirit, of optimism, of hope. Tin world is full enough of Jeremiahs. The business of the college is to he the fountain head of manly optimism, whose living waters shall be for Unhealing and redemption of the ua t ion. " Lastly, completing the three-loin , college spirit, is that crowning spirit, the genius of the man of Nazareth. The archetypal man of all the ages i: Jesus Christ. And the work of man building liuisl go on with reference t > 11 i m. The ideal college is the college source of Christian scholars, ami | Christian gentlemen. Ami if then- i-> ;i man who niii-l be one ami not i!i< j other, either Christian scholar o, ] Christian gentleman. I say in (!<>il *.! name, in the 'name of his ncighhoi hood and church and nation, let hin. t fi in \r< -enolarship, let him be a ('liristian gentleman. "My friends, in assuming this olfice ifodav I invoke the spirit of tin Christ upon us. I think of (lustavus Adolphus, at Lut/en, as in the presence of his stall' he uncovered his head and looking up he said: Mlelv, Tyord, for we fight in Thy name!' In this work at Newberry, in the whole big cause of education, we know no name but His. whom we aeknowledgi Txird and King. And in this work of education so vital, so hopeful, so decisive in the destiny of our /ion, in (his fa si developing Southland, let us print upon our banners and whispei on our knees: 'Help, Lord, for we fight in Thy name.' After the president's splendid address Mr. Mower said thai he had received letters of greeting from fluSouth Carolina Military Aeadom>, h'skine college, Clemson college, tin 'ollcge of Charleston, and the l'res yterian college of Clinton, lie Ilicii latcd that Dr. A. C. Moore, acting resident of -the South Carolina colege was present and would extend [reelings to President Harms anc ho college. South Carolina College Greetings. Dr. Moore then said: "Tt is not my mrpose to detain you with lengthy emarks this morning. I merely conic ere to witness by my presence the reelings of the University of South Carolina to Newberry college. This, ir, is no perfunctory oflice that i icrform this morning. I bear tlu> earliest good will to you on this a us* icious occasion. We find ourselves n a situation to sympathize with on. Only a feW months ago, like you, e found ourselves without a head, ^ftcr long years of service, as y-i ?aeher and as an executive, Majoi loan, that courtly gentleman, rered to well earned rest, and we had efore us the task of seeking his suefssor, as we knew, as you know, the illing of the president's chair is no isy matter, but our quest for a. presient like yours was happily terminled, and while we rejoice with you >day in the induction of your presienl, wo trust that a few months cnee we shall have the pleasure of our representation at the service.-, lat shall inaugurate our new presient. "It speaks wel for education in oulh Carolina when arranging ocnsions like (his thai representative-^ f other institutions in the S-tate can nine and bear greeting to Newberry dlege.'' Dr. Moore then enlarged n I lie good spirit that exists anion*; 11 (lie colleges. Tti conclusion ho :iid: "Mr. President, may the ldess>g of Cod rest upon you and this inli In lion and enable you to do failliu 11 y that part in this great work .'liich is your part." Mr. Mower then slated thai the sylod of the Associate Reformed Pros>y tori an church was in session ir dewberry and that I he moderatoi iev. W. II. Millen, from Tennessee vould speak on behalf of the synor ind of Erskine college. Erskine College Greetings. Mr. Millen said: "T congratulate 'on upon this auspicious occasion an< ear lo you and your honored presi lent the greetings of the A. R. 1* liurcli of the South. Our prayer i: hal all the noble colleges in Soul I "arolina may continue the nobli vork in which you have long been en jaged and thai work for the youns nen and for -the glory of God. Sir is a representative of that synod diowing you that yon have our heart; sympathy and prayers I give you th< right hand. And as for Rrskine eol lege T can say to you, sir, and to tin friends of this college, that she wil stand by your side and bv the side o :ill I lie colleges in this State. Do vol know her? Then you know what sli stands for. She stands first of al for Cod, I he home and the country. I I hal her life lias been enlisted am when you go to the front you wil find Krskine college at your side." Mr. Mower, in presenting Dr. Wal lace, said he had the pleasure of in Iroducing one who was well know] here. Dr. David Duncan Wallace, ; sou of our townsman, Kdiior Wallace and who would represent Wo flop college. Greetings From Wofford. I >r. Wallace said: ;,l have a tripl satisfaction in being in Newberry am at l hese ' exercises this morning. I has been only 18 years since 1 was student in Newberry college, and al "I that time I have spent away, re turning only for brief visits. I hav been very much impressed with tli way in which the college and th town have grown. When I left her IS years ago wlial is now simply th nucleus of ;i group of buildings wa then the entire plant, and the stive which was then a long r?ad dottci with a lew scattering houses is no\ an avenuti almost lined with resi deuces leading to the college. And i gives me great satisfaction to se that the prosperity of the town ha been shared by the college. Il ha grown to importance, and to me on bought on thi< occasion is that notli ing could be better and for the highe interest both to the city and the col lege than thai 11lie properity of New berry should always be reflected i and shared in by the college, and tha I he great, deep, broad work of th college ought to be reflected in tli higher, better and stronger life <i the city. The democratic candidal lor vice-president. Kern. recentl visited tlie city of Sparlanbrug an in speaking to a citizen lie said a he pointed to the lowers of Woffor College: ' I'here is the best tiling have seen ;n this town. I live in college town.' So one could com and stand on a high site near New berry and pointing lo the towers c Newberry college say: 'There is 111 best thing in this town.' As I s.i ; back of the speakers and listened to their remarks it seemed lo me thai i the most dominant spirit and tlie most dominant note has been that ot . faith. Your new president has soundl ed the note of faith. That Newberry i college stands for something. That j tlie faculty of Newberry eollege are not simply bread wlimors, and that the trustees are not simply officials enjoying thq honor and dignity of the j i position." i Dr. Wallace then spoke of the loyalty existing between the college and ? the synod. He also referred to the fae.t that he and the newly elected < i president were classmates, and thai . he felt sure he would fill the position to which lie had been called in a fitting manner and in his turn, as had been the case with all formei presidents, lie would reflect honor up- * on the institution. This address concluded the exeieises and after singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee," I he. benediction was | pronounced by Rev. Mr. Fulcnwider. < The visitors from Prospe:lly were 1 then invited to dinner a.t the college boarding hall and after dinner returned (o their duties at Prosperity. They were glad they came and many expressions were heard which were complimentary to I he new president and the work of Newberry college. SOLID SOUTH BROKEN, SAYS CAPT.

Capers of Son Mi Carolina. . lie sees large and luminous rainbows beneath the clouds of tVimc-ratic majorities in the resolidified South. Says he today: "The large increase in the Repubi lican vote, in the South, especially in , North Carolina, Virginia and CSeor, gia. and the percentage of white ReI publican voters in South Carolina means the death knell of the soli?i South. "Tt used to be that social ostracism j in a way was meted out by any one in the South who was known to be a Republican, but, happily, that spirit is dying out rapidly and now our poo( pie see the folly of such narrowness. This is shown by the voles cast in the Southern States on Tuesday, Judge, Taft received more native white vote*. than were ever cast for a Republican ' candidate for the presidency. Th',5 ^ was due in a measure to tlie more liboral and tolerant spirit now prevaili n _*. "The principal asset of the Demoi cracv of the. South has been the negro j- vote. The politicians have known foi ( years that when the young people ot ., our section realize that negro donuII nation in local affairs did not and , would not follow the election of a Re1 publican candidate for president, the I doom of the solid South was sealed. And Tuesday's election lias scaled the doom. The South is rich in agriculture, minerals, and manufactures, and there is a strong protective ti ... ' 1 taritt sentiment. "This issue will figure prominent| ly in the congressional campaign two years hence and nowhere will it make itself felt more pronouncedly than in tin* South. This will be shown in the ^ change in congressional delegations. { The time lias arrived wlien the South will once again occupy the field she * diil before the Civil war, that is, there will be a divison of political sentiment. The Democratie politicians will no longer be able to check the healthy ( political growth by the cry of negro domination." e A Sympathetic Farmer. ( Philadelphia Ledger.
