the whole man. It does infinitely more
for the college man than the club or
the fraternity and it has none of the
evils which are usually connected with
such organizations. While the ma inritv

moral type, yet there is great danger
for the young student when he gets
from under the restraints of home and
parents for the first time. The faculty
^ are not in a position to look after the
correction and controlling of minor
evils about the campus, in fact, they
seldom know of them. Here then is
some of the work done by the Y. M. C.
A. It fosters high ideals and manly
virtues.
The association hall is located on
the second floor of south dormitory in
Smeltzer hall. This is a large, well
lighted room, and is splendidly suited
to its purpose. Here the weekly
meetings are held on each Sunday afternoon.
Men of wide learning and recognized
ability are invited to make
these addresses.
The Y. M. C. A. reading room, which
was equipped only last year, occupies
a handsome room in middle dormitory, I
Smeltzer Hall. To this room, which
is kept open practically all the time,
there come many papers, daily
and weekly, and quite a number of the j
leading magazines. This room being j
equipped with beautiful mission furniture
and with ri<s, pillows a.id appropriate
drapery, presents a very at J
tractive appearance, and gives the j
boys a nice, suitable place in which
to spend their spare time both pleas- j
antly and profitably.
One very prominent feature of the
Y. M. C. A. work is its voluntary mis- !
sion and Bible study classes. This j
?? ororv ctnHpnt in col- '
yam yiavuvanj ^ j *>?? ? ,
lege was enrolled in a Bible study j
class. Moreover the atendance was j
exceptionally good two classes having i
a perfect record, while several others j
have made spendid showings. The
mission study class numbered about
? eighty. This class met once each
week for a period of eight weeks, under
the leadership of Dr. Geo. B. Cro- j
mer.
As to the finances, the association j
handled very little money up until a j
year ago. Our annual fees were about I
$20 per year, and this, with the recep- !
tion and commencement expenses;
were about the only expenditures, i
However, the Y. M. C. A. has now
grown beyond that During the year
just cosed in March, $398 passed j
through the Y. M. C. A. treasury. A
large part of this sum was spent in
equipping tne reading ruuxu aim m:
improving the association hall. The
balance went in fees, receptions, com-;
mencement expenses and missions,
about $100 going for the latter cause.!
Since March 1, 1912, the association
has raised a conference loan found of
$100, which money is to be loaned to
wor;hy students who desire to attend !
the various conferences and institutes,
which are held from time to time, and j
who do not have the money with which I
to do so. This money is to be returned ,
without interest after the student!
leaves college.
? ? ? - ?* ^ j. ~ ~ i
The Y. M. C. A. is mus seen 10 ue :
thoroughly alive and active, in fact it j
is by far the most important organiza- I
tion among the students. And when |
ve consider the work it is doing and j
has done, we can not withhold praise j
for its deeds.

? athletic associations in the various
States, and South Carolina is represented
by the "South Carolina Inter- j
Collegiate Athletic association," of
which Newberry college is one of the
leading members.
The season of 1911-12 promises to
be a banner year in the history of
athletics at Newberry, for no less than
two State championships have been
"won already, and the prospects of our;
winning a third are very bright.
Early in the fall of 1911 the S. C. I.
A. A. tennis tournament was held at
Wofford college, in Spartanburg. The j
scaret and gray was ably represented;
by Messrs. L. M. Wise, J. B. Smeltzer,!
and R. K. Wise. Wise, L. M., lost the '
singles, but he "came back strong,"
with Smeltzer in the doubles, defeating j
Erskine, Furman and Wofford, in the j
order named and thereby prov- j
ing themselves to be the undisputed
champions of the State. The WoffordNewberry
contest was by far the hardest
fought of the tournament. Wof4
ford captured the first and fourth sets I
6-1; 6-3. While Newberry took the I
second, third and fifth 6-3, 6-3, 6-4.!
Smekzer and Wise, L. M., were at ;
their best and had the honor of being i
the first to win the beautiful silver
loving cup for their alma mater.
Not only do we hold the champion - j
ship in tennis, but our basketball team
\ is also entitled to write "champions"
/ after its name. Basketball, until the j
past season was practically unknown I
at Newberry, being played between the
different classes only, but by the un
! tiring efforts of Prof. Voigt we were
; able ;o put out a winning team, which
sustained but two defeats during the t
entire season. One, by the College of
i Charleston, who defeated us on a j
court a great deal smaller than the
regulation size, the other by the fast
i _>avidson team.
The following is Newberry's line-up
| and record for the season just closed: :

J. B. Mayes has been eiected captain
for the season of 1912-13, and T. P.

Strauss manager.
On February .19 Mr. J. B. Holland,
: of Edgefield, took charge of our base,
ball squad. The weather was
so bad that the annual trip
j to Chareston had to be called off,
; on account of lack of practice. The j
j team, since the departure of Coach i
I Holland, has been in harge of Prof.
Rountree, and he has developed the j
boys into a fast, aggressive, and hard
hitting squad of ball tossers.
"Miss" Eidson is back with us and j
a better twirler has never stood upon j
the slab of "College park." This is
Eidson's third year and his record is 1
such that every one will regret that.
next season will be his last "Nigger",

the S. C. I. A. A. by pitching a two-hit:
game against the College of Charles
ton last year. "Nigger" is going fine j
at present, and without a doubt Eidson j
and Epting are a pair who can not be j
beat.
Smeltzer, third baseman and cap-;
tain, is one of the best fielders and I
hardest hitters in the State. Boozer j
is in a class by himself at short stop; j
Becker, on second, is a new man, and is I
is doing nicely; Keitt is playing a great j
first base and fitting the ball hard,
and Shealy is surprising every one
j by the great game he is putting up beihind
the bat. The outfield is composed
of a trio who are considered the
fastest in the association. "Clean Up"
Wise holds down the left garden;
Floyd, of which, ther is no better, in
the State, takes care of everything
that comes around centre, and right
field is well guarded by the fast Per?

the substitutes, and E. 0. F. Doscher |
manages the team.
The chances for the pennant are I
very bright at present. The boys
are playing great ball, and
seem to have the "never die"
spirit in them, which is shown by the
fact that in two games they have saved
defeat by rallying and winning in
the last inning. Baseball is gaining:
in popular faor every year, and it is a \
pleasure to know that the Scarlet and |
Gray always puts out a strong team,
and this year an especially hard hit- j
ling one.
The record of Newberry for thus far i
this season follows:
Erskine 7, Newberry 8; Erskine 7,

dewberry College a Financial Asset. 1
Ordinarily we do not expect a col- ,
lege to bring financial returns; the
community expects from it moral and
educational benefits. But the man
that estimates everything in terms of
dollars and cents will find it interesting
to figure a little on Newberry college
as a money-getter.
Thirty-five years ago :\ewDerry r
bought a college and the price paid |3
was a building and twelve acres ofjJ
land estimated at about $20,000. That j1
those in control of the college have !
not been without appreciation can be <
seen by any one who visits the col-!'
lege grounds. The Lutheran synod <
and other friends, including citizens 1
of Newberry, have added nine buildings
and other improvements, putting ; i
the total value of the property close <
up to $100,000. This is a pretty sub- J
stantial additon to an original invest- S
ment of $20,000.
Since the college returned to New
berry it has graduated 4students. <
If their average college course was
four years, and the average cost per
year $250, each of them brought to the j
community $1,000 in return for his ]
education, or a total amount of .$440,- i
000 for the 440 graduates. This is a <
pretty fair dividends on an original <
investment of $20,000. But this does j:
not include the great multitude of stu- j]
dents who attended the college with- j <
out completing the course. ;
But the man that is figuring would <
like to come a little closer to the pres- ]
ent. At a conservative estimate the ]
number of boarding students at the i
