Large Enrolment-Appropriate Ad dresses of Welcome by Prond nent Speakers. With a large enrolment of students, which promises to surpass the record of any previous year, who were hear tily welcomed by prominent gentlemen of the city and from abroad, Newberry college on Thursday morning began under most auspicious conditions, heT fifty-fifth annual session. When President J. Henry Harms opened the exercises in Holland hall at 9.30 o'clock the large auditorium was fill ed with students and former students and friends of the institution. The principal address of the occa sion was delivered by the H-). John D. Cappelmann, of Charleston, a for mer student of the college and a mem ber of the board of trustees. The Rev. M. L. Banks, of Cerntral Methodist church; the Rev. Edx. Fla eliwider, of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, and tt Rev. Geo. A. Wright, of the First Bap,ist chirch, brought warm words of gr'ting and of welcome to the students, ol! and new, on behalf of the churches of New berry. The Rev. John J Long, an alumnus of the college, and now prs tor of St. John's church, Cabarrus, N. C., was present and delivered an air propriate talk in which he es:pressed his gratiflucation in the fine ,'penin of an institution which he said had not a superior upon thQ lace of tlod'z earth, and his earnest pray,-,r fo- eve; greater things for the college. The Rev. Mr. Fulenwider, of the colleg -church, said he wanted to include in his welcome to the students an invita tion to each and every -)ne of them t. attend a reception at the parsonage on Thursday evening, Septeml;-r 2S, to be given by the Luther Le;::i. All the pastors were happy in their re marks. Vice President GeQrge 3 Mower, of the board of trustees, welcomed the students, on behalf of the board, to this, their time of opportunity,. and tc this their time of suns&1*nc -to this time which would hold for' them in all probability more sunshine than any other period of ,their hites. l;e ex pressed the hope that the students woul<d apply themsalves diligently in improving this timne o:: opportunity. He hoped that ligiity anw- decorumi which ought to characterize their con duct, and which he believed had char acterized the students of Newberry college, might be apparent every day of their stay during this college year. Tphold the dignity and reputation of Newberry college, he urged; let no stain comne upon it; let no stain com upon yourselves. He expressed thE hope that the students would take the same stand which had been taken by the students of Erskmne and other in stitutions in regard to hazing, an~d that hazing would have no place at Newberry college. Dr. George B. Cromer, former presi dent of the college, and now a mem ber of the board of trustees, in refer ring to Mr. Mower's refarks as to upholding the dignity of the college, referred to a remark of Dr. Mitchell, of the South Carolina university, dur ing chapel servic-es last session, in which Dr. Mitchell, referring to three students of his law class who had gone to the uniVers-ty from Newberry college, said: "If Newberry college has any more men like Goggans and Cappelmann and Johnstone, we would like to have them." Dr. Cromer urged Sthe virtues of punctuality and thor oughgess. Be punctual and be thor ough. People sometimes overlooked the moral value of punctuality, he said. His observation was that a man who is punctual is ready for his work when he gets there. It was said that ad vice was cheap, and that you must not 'keep giving the same advice, but this was wrong: you ought to keep giving the same advice until people take it. Hie said in reading "The Long Roll." that remarkable novel by Miss Mary JIohnson, in which Stontewall .Jackson Swas the hero, he was impresed with ho said the trouble with hazing was that a crowd gets after a felow, and in a crowd there was likely to be a coward or a fool, and the most cruel man in the world is a coward who has a crowd at his back. In concluding his remarks he urged upon the stud ents the greater responsibilities which came to them as they went higher up. The Hon. John D. Cappelmann, of Charleston, in opening his remarks, said that as a trustee he was glad to find everything so auspicious for this opening of the institution. "To the work," then, was tle call which he sounded to the stddents, with the de termination that this should be the best year of their college work here and the best year- for the 'college. To the alumni he sounded a call for great er activity for the upbuilding of the college, reminding them of what the institution had done .for them, and of what they owed to their alma mater. Mr. Cappelmann during the course of his excellent address, urged the great er development of the spirit of song in the student body, speaking of what a fine thing it would be to have a well balanced and well drilled male chorus of the whole student body, each stu dent able to sing well his part. He spoke of the uplifting power of music, of its great spiritual benefits now and in the years to come, and of the joys which would come to the students in after life from the remembrance of college songs. He urged -the students that whatever they did, to do all for the glory of God. If by music and the use of it, or otherwise, you have learned to recognize God as your fath er, then I beseech you that in your work here and hereafter you shall en deavor to use all things for his glory. The speaker said that as with him wh-en he was the age of the young men before him, he supposed there would be constant questionings in their mind as to the choice of a life work-as to what profession they ' should follow. He paid a fine tribute to the ministry of dod, telling them that if it was the will of God that they should be called to his ministry it was a call to the highest station in life. In conclusion, he said: "Now, I bid you God-speed, my friends, in your year's work. Oh, learn to love each other. Love the prop fessors; heed what they tell you, as they with prayerful thoughts and deeds consider your course here, won dering how to overcome difficulties that are in your path; oh, yield to them. And, above all, render to them, as the officers of this institution, as the serviants of Almighty God, render to them that respeo:. wnich their work and their position demand of you." Dr. A. J. Bowers, of the faculty, ad dressed the students briefly, put pond~ edly, telling them they had been taken out of the world of work, out of the world of producers, and put in college as consumers, for the purpose of shar peniing their axes to prepare themselv es for higher ind better wo'm. They had been committed to the faculty their souls had been commritted to the faculty, and he urged the students to help the faculty in their trust. President Harms told :h.e studants he had only four words he wanen1 to say to them at this time-fo.r words he wanted them to niear and to heed: "Start right; keep right." The benediction was pronounced by the Rev. J. D. Bowles, of Coronaca, a member of the "old guard" of the board of trustees of the college. SIX BUTCHERED WHILE ASLEEP.
