Newberry college is very dear to the hearts of the people of Newberry, and is one of the most important factors j in the social, educational and com- j mercial life of the city, and it is a | pleasure to us to devote one issue to ' this institution. The people of Newberry have al~ ! ways stood by the college in times or need, and they may be counted upon to stand by it today. They have never refused to answer to the call of the | college and they will never refuse to I do so. President Harms has been engaged the past several months in an effort j to raise $50,000 toward the endow- j ment fund of the college so as to se cure a donation ironi .anarew tjamesie of $25,000 on the condition that the college raise $50,000. President Harms states that he has secured more than one-half of the amount necessary, and, tip to this time, has made no appeal A - 4-V? nnnnla Mau'liorrv Tt XV*mi Id ty LLiy v/i. iw ? be a great misfortune to the college as well as to the city of Newberry if the balance can not be raised, but such a contingency is not to be considered for a moment. The friends of Newberry college will not permit this opportunity to pass without seizing it, and President Harms may expect hearty responses from this community. THE COLLEGE AXD THE COMMFSITY. There is nothing more vital to the welfare and upbuilding of a community than a good system of public j ehools. Moreover, there is nothing that will so increase the prosperity and happiness of any community as will the presence of a college, and especially a Christian college, in its midst. The eagerness with which cities and towns reach after new colloo-^c or>A fVio charn orvmnptitinn that UUIU WJL^. vw? Jfvv-v.v? I Invariably exists between the several bidders for such an. institution, afford striking evidence of this fact Every progressive community realizes the lo- j cal benefits to be derived from a col- j lege, and will make strenuous efforts to obtain and maintain one. Our sis-: ter city, Anderson, is a notable in- j stance; Clinton, which, a few weeks 1 ago, contributed $15,000 towards the en^AUTnent fund of thf^ Presbvterian college, is another. These local benefits are manifold, j In the first place, a college hrin^i |; business to a town. The money spent by the students and faculty during a j year amounts to many thousands of | flOiiars. Again, uie auveiu?mg iuuuence of a college is almost incalculable. The name of a college town is often carried to all parts of the world by the graduates and friends of the institution, and if it is the right kind of town its praise will be sung in corresixradiiiffly wide circles. These commercial benefits, however, are of slight significance when compared with the moral and cultural advantages that a college affords a com munity. It opens the door of a college . education to many a boy and girl who "would otherwise be debarred because i of financial inability to go off to college. Not a few of the leading citizens of our own town and county owe their successful careers, in large part, to Newberry college, and the entire community owes the college a debt of i cratifnrfo for thpm. For. as T/nrhftr once "wisely wrote: "The prosperity of a city lies neither in the great wealth that may be accumulated in it, cor in its firm walls, beautiful houses, many rifles and plentiful armor, but the best and very richest prosperity ! of a city consists in its many refined,' learned, prudent, honorable, and educated .citizens, who might afterward | accumulate wealth and property, and ! would hold it and use it in the proper 1 manner." A college gives intellectual "tone" ! to a community as no other agency can. Through its very presence, to say nothing of its lyceum, commencement programs, and other public exercises, it produces a powerful impress upon the character of a communty that is quickly noticed by the discerning stranger. The thoughts of people are constantly directed to other and higher ideals than mere commercial success. Their pleasures and recreations, too, are likely to be more rpfinAri than, thev would otherwise be. But, most important of all, the college renders valuable assistance to the churches in giving moral "tone" j to the community. This it does, not only by precept, but also by the example of its faculty and students who almost invariably represent the very highest moral ideals. It is impossible for a community to remain entii ~iy j imperoious to the strong influence virtue, self-sacrifice and optimism exerted by a Christian student-body. Its contagion is unavoidable. It is a notable fact that the moral standard of college towns is usually very high. In return for these benefits just enumerated, the community that is so | fortunate as to possess a college owes I it hearty support, both moral and fin- j ancial. Republics may be ungrateful, but college communities are seldom open to this charge. The town and county of Newberry have embraced every opportunity in the past to express their gratitude, appreciation, and loyalty towards Newberry college. The present campaign for additional endoment, which has as its goal "a Greater Newberry," challenges the loyalty and liberality of the citizens of the entire county President Harms has succeeded in bringing the goal, $50,000, in sight The duty devolves up on all those who haxe the best interests of their community at heart, to assist in building it up through the upbuilding of that institution which means so much to it and its welfare. As Dr. Harms has atytlv exDressed it in a lit tie folder entitled, "The Best Invest- j ment": "Any person who will invest] some money in this college will be j guaranteed the finest dividends. The profit will not come to him in common gold, but in the fine uncommon gold of trained, high-minded character. This money is for endowment, to be invested to help the college build men for the church and the country. It is the finest investment in th? world, paying dividends in terms of Christian manhood when monuments shall have crumbled into dust." THE SEWS OF WHITMIRE. Superintendent of Education E.
