CHRBISTIAN EDUCATION
(Continued from Page Six.)
nd culmination of all saving knowl
edge was a most fitting prelude to
that which followe. for on the very
next day, Nov. 23, 1829, .it was de
termined to found a Theological
school, associating with it a Classi
cal Academy;-and'here is the gen
esis of that stream which leaves our
sons, and daughters in, these halls of
thigher edutation today.
As the giant oak includes in its
ife all the elements of the germ from
rwhich it grew, -so Newberry college
sends its roots far back into the
early days of the nineteenth century;
and is made glorious by a galaxy of
heroes who would do honor to any
cause, age, or country.
We have time, however, for the
brief mention of only. the more
prominent of these, though not un
derrating the humblest man whose
prayers, tears, and toils went . out
for the institution which is now our
pride and boast.
At the head of that list of heroes
brave. there stands in, -eolors bright
and glorious a name without whose
mention no history of this college
Ywould ever be complete. In the
galaxy of our dead his names .shines
with undimnmished .lustre, and in the
-grateful affeetiop of our people will
-live down through all time.
To no other one man is our Sounth
en church so g,eatly indebted as to
that saint of God, the Rev. John
Bachman, D. D., LL. D. Born of
intellectual, sturdy, loyal parentage,
possessed of great mental vigor, in
domitable energy, and a' burning
thirst for knowledge, he naturally
rose to greatness, and won proud
laurels in. the field of letters, and of
divinity. In the domain of science
he 'had few.equals; as a polemic, he
nwas a giant; as a pastor, -he had no
superior; and in the pVlpit he was in
deed a man of power.
It is not surprising, then, to find
him at the head of this movement,
and urging it with all his power un
til the work actua .4 began'under the
beloved Schwartz, in February, 1831.
And when Dr. Bach'man wept over
the faded life of that young disciple
he urged his brethren to press on
'wad, reminding them that, "God
can call light out of darkness."
The need of ~higher education was
more~keenly felt than ever before;
and, so, by 1854 it was definitely
settled that the Theological and elas
siesl school, them at Lexington, S. C.,
be-constituted "a regular College."
In 1855 Newberry was fixed as the
location of the institution, and in
February, 1856 its Board of Diree
io's met in this town, selected the
site for the college, and carried out
the resolution of the Synod.
'On the 15th of July, 1857, its cor
mier stone was laid, by Dr. Bachman
.and others, the wails of the first sto
ry being then nearly completied. In
October, 1858, the Preparatory De
partment was opened, with over 50
studenits, under Rev. Prof. M. Whit
ie;-ean'd when the Synod met in
Beth Edeno Chareb, Oct er 27, 1859,
it was officleiy reported that, "our,
literary institution has been removed
. rm Lexington .to Newberry, and
chauged into a college."
-*The elegant building,. ereeted by
the determined efforts of loyal
hearts was finished; Rev. Dr. T. Stork
rwas president; Rev. Dr. 1 A. -Browm
'was Professor of Thiol'ogy; and
Prof. RobertGalington occupied the
chair of Mathematies and Natural
seien'ees.
And, so, that year was rid!h in
fruitage, and in glorious promise.
The teaiehin.g force was augmented
by the servicees of students J. A.
tSligh and J. D. Boozer, and by a
Mr. Hard of the Charleston coblege4
In September of that year Augus
-.tus P. Pifer was elected to a Pro
fessorship, and entered upon his
duties ai the opening session of Oc
tober, 1839. Then, and subsequently,
his life evidenced the fact that a
mre polished scholar, nor geotle
manly man ever walked the classie
halls of the old college!
When the session of 1859-60 began
rainbow hues gilded the horizon, all
hearts throbbed with bouyant hope,
the dream of years was being real
ized. and the seed-time had brought
the harvest.
But soon there rises a storm-eloud
in the distance; war is on the breeze;
eannons boom over the hills; stu
idents march to the beat of martial
airs; politicail elements of genera
tions were forming a volcano from
avhiose fiery crater only death could
come; and, ere long, the dream and
toil of our fathers lay in ruins.
But heroes are born in the hour of
conflict. Then comes quietly an~d
hrav'elv to the front a man whose
deeds 'of heroic valor can never die,
or be forgottel, 'while the banner of
maber collee waves over this sa
