NEWBERRY COLLEGE * Had Bright Past, Has Brighter Present, Will Ha>e Brighter Futur (By J. Henry Harms, President.) Newberry college was established bv rap Lutherans of the State in 1S.~0. There is no doubt of it. if tlie ":athers" could come back to Newberry today?58 years after its founding:?and see the college in its present increase and prosperity they would exclaim in grateful praise aud wonder. Although its buildings were swept away by the ravages of the war and the college had to be removed to Wali-alla for a period of ten years, and although it was reestablished at Newberry with trembling fears on the part of some and supreme courage on the part of others in the year 1877, and although the Lutherans of the State were and are today numerically the weakest among the leading denominations of the State, Newberry college has prospered phenomenally, and today ranks with the leading ar,! most progressive colleges of the South. Old "grads'' coming back to Newberry after a lapse o: years are surprised at the changes that have taken place in buildings and extensions of every sort. Especially in the last 15 years has the college grown in size, enroll merit and general efficiency. More than half o: the alumni have graduated since the year 1900. And among them are men prominent in every walk of life, and in all other denominations besides the Luetheran. Indeed, although Xewberrv college is owned by the Lutherans of the State, about half of its enrollment every year is made up of students of other creeds, every stduent being unhindered in the matter of denominational preference. Turns to Technique. Newberry colljege for many years jj^ confined itself to the old line literarv I and classical courses of instruction, ^ with Greek reauired for entrance as "well as Latin and the other subjects. But, aiming to fit the institution for the widest possible service, the authorities have from time to time added courses of study, the chie*. of which in recent times ias been the course in electrical and mechanical engineering. In 1906 Andrew Carnegie presented the college with a threestory engineering building, and this new department was liberally endowed by the citizens of Xewberrv. "Newberry Tech" men are being em pioyea annually oy tne westmgnouse ; electric works in Pittsburg. The college offers the usual science andj literary courses found in the best col-| leges. A preparatory department is conducted in connection with the college, in a building on the campus, for young men not ready to entfer the freshman class. T'le college now owns nine buildings, the centre of the group being Holland hall, one of the most imposing college buildings in the State. The ca.myus> uuh uuxisibis 01 ou acres oil an elevation on the outskirts of the town of Newberry. Seventy-five thousand dollars was recently added to the endownment, making the total productive funds about $150,000. Plans are being laid now to erect a Young Men's Christian association in memory of Karl M. Counts, a senior of last year, who died during the season. A new gymnasium is also being pianned, and a new athletic field which will be one of the most complete in the Soutlh. Its Alumni Fund. The alumni ot -Newberry number over 5.000. They have always shown a lively interest in their college. They are organized into an alumni association which meets annually. The association presented the college with a gymnasium and a professor's residence and has given thousands o: dollars to the supporf. of the college for special objects and the endowment. The alumni also maintain a scholarship for poor, deserving students. Friends, ex-students and graduates o: Newberry hold a series of reunions cnmmrir fAnr? i Ctot A o v* ^ ^ouiiiin^i, lv/ui in tiiio otaic ana one in Georgia. The best' known and oldest of the reunions is the great Little Mountain reunion on the first Friday of August of each year. It is es timated that a total of not less than 6.000 people-gather every summer at these reunions under the "scarlet and the gray." The government at Xewberrv college is less rormal than it is at most colleges. And yet, lacking military rigor, it is always firm and reasonable. Students participate in disci pline within certain limits, through a student council elected by the student body, toe discipline committee of the factulty being always in close consultation. Every month a "conference for the common good" is held at which students and professors assemble to discuss in utmost freedom all affairs touching the welfare of the college, and many of the best achievements of "\7 in t'no UUI i v/i i acv # ??- t k r o. the "conference." Strong in Sports. Athletically the college has always I stood in the first rank. In baseball i | has won several championships in ta< j State intercollegiate association. Ii ! 1911 it won all championships?ten ' nis, basketball and baseball. Las winter Xewberry put out its first foot , bail team, playing B. M. 1., Presby terian college at Clinton (two games) : Charleston college, Furman am Davidson. It won all games ercep the one with Davidson, losing by i j score of 32 to 0. Furman was th< | only other team that crossed New berry's goal line. This fall Xewberr: | will engage in gridiron contests witl Carolina, Davidson, Wofford (at tin State fair), the Citadel, Furman am ; pernaps uuiers. due irarrisii, a uur |\?rsity of Georgia star will be New i berry's physical director for the com ! ing session, and he is planning to keel ! up Newberry's splendid record. Th? j college plays under the Southern assoi ciation rules and no student may b( 1 a member of its varsity who is not z ; bona fide student or who is failing ir j his studies. . Safe and Pleasant. Student life at Xewberry is safe guarded by thoughtful plans 'for theii conduct and comfort. The Xewberrj college club, an organization of graduates and ex-students in the town ol * ? ? - >> "i- ^ ' rr*r tt tt j i -\ewoerry, 01 "wmcn l,oi. . n. num is president is laying special plans for the coming session to receive th( young men into the homes of the town. Perhaps there is no college where the students and professors live on terms oL? greater friendliness thai ; ? I at Newberry and nowhere are the citi : zens more genuinely interested in th< I affairs of the institution. The students I find it a good place to live in, anc ! friends are proud to call Newberry e ; safe college for anybody's boy.
