It was held at the ; opera house on Monday evening- and i there was a very large audience to ; hear the young speakers. The conjtcctants were selected from the memj bers of the junior class. In the old | days when the classes were small the j entire clars had to enter the contest as part of the course, and then even ;n the earlier days the contest was open to all the college classes and ;the entry wa<> a voluntary matter. ' ? " ^ - ??n ; We have seen a comesx in which an j members of all four of tne college : classcs were in the battle. This year | there were only eight as follows: Frank P.

C., May 25th, 1922. The Board of Trustees, ' Newberry College. Gentlemen: I The college session of 1121-1922 began on September :23rd, 1921. i Three new professors began their ! service in the faculty on the opening day: Rev. R. A. Goodman assumed the professorship of Bible and rhrisJtiar. Ethics; Prof. G. P. Voigt, of Modern Languages and Literature; j and Prcf. F. D. " MacLean became j Physical Director and Associate Pro fersor of English. These gentlemen jat once entered fully into the life and work of the college, and have labored I with conspicuous success, each in his ; cat. department and in the general . work of the college. : L'r.der authority given by the standing committee the faculty secured the assistance of the following students: R. 0. Derrick and C. W. , McCartha, laboratory instructors; K. jW. Kinard, instructor in mathematics; L. E. Blackweldei(, instructor in English; Geo. C..Borts, instructor in .Spanish; A. E. Davies, instructor in igymnasium; D. V. Beetle, V. R. EleaIzer and R. B. Eleas;er, gymnasium assistants. ; i? ' * j 'iheie men were paid from six to | eighteen dollars a month. Each did .well the work required of him, and | the college is fortunate in having in its student body men who can renj der such service. ; | And yet, how we must regret that our financial resources are so small ! that we must call upon many of the best and brightest of our students to take valuable time from their regular academic work and give it with very : little remuneration in this service to . t : their college. I The enrollment of students this year totals 263: 40 seniors, ,53 juniors, 64 sophomores, 72 freshmen, o0 sub-freshmen and 4 post-graduates. The attendance to this date , has dropped only about 9 per cent. ,;In deportment, class-room work, and : college spirit the record of the stu, dent body has bcen; admirable, j Beginning on July 11th, 1921, and 'continuing for six weeks, a summer school for teachers, for conditioned I college studepts and for applicants for the freshman class was neia oy | Newberry and Summerland colleges , at Newberry college. The instruc| tors were chosen from the faculties of thetse colleges. The trustees were I not asked to assume any financial ! obligations for the summer school. [ : The school was a success. S2 stud' j ents were in attendance and the I; quality of work done was high. ! The faculty of Newberry college ka?ks permission to conduct such a , school again this year to begin July 11 Oth. It asks no financial assistance, - : r! but asks your approval and moral j: support. The faculty has selected , | Prof. Jas. C. Kinard director of the . j school, and asks the board to approve . i this. , i Since the last meeting of the board Month has claimed one of its most J useful and distinguished members. . Hon. Geo. S. Mower, of Newberry, j jS. C., who had been a member of the | board for forty years and for many ; years its vice-president, and chairman 2'of the standing committee, died July . i 25th, 1921. I am sure the board j\ will wish to express by formal resolution its recognition of the great f1 service rendered tfhe college by Mr. ?! Mower and the ereat loss cuffered in -| his lamented death. { In November, 1921, the Evangelii t 9 r? are Diamonds, \ dless the cost, rything Must be le, do so today. tioneer jcal Lutheran synod of South Carolina in session at Leesville, S.

Bej denbaugn, deceased, Rev. C. P. Boozj er, deceased, and Hon. Geo. S. Mower, deceased. ! j The record this year of our stud1 ~ ~ ^ "U rA f avoI rwtr o r> d .Q"f V) IPC? fHU5 ill licuaic, UlUvUl jr IU1U _ f is worthy of special mention. Our debating teams won in the triangular J debate with Woffor'd and Presbyteri- j an colleges, and also won over the Baptist university of Oklahoma. Our speaker won honorable mention in the state oratorical contest. Our foot/ball ?eam won third place, our basketball team, first place, and our j baseball team, first place among the ' colleges of this state. i i To meet the current financial ob-' 1 J * --- il-- -.-IV U?~ ? ligations Ol Lne college naa uccn a ' difficult problem this year. The collections for .tuition, fees and interest on . endowment have been slow and incomplete. Some who owe the college have been unable to pay; many have been apparently indifferent to their obligations. I ask the board to express its judgment as to the policy of the college in the collection of tuition and fees,?shall the ! . ' college insist upon prompt and full payment, and drop tlfe student who :!does not comply; or shall it continue' ] the policy of leniency that has pre- J vailed for many years? The many factors involved make the problem decidedly complex. But I think the , time has come when the policy of the | college in this matter must be definitely stated. I In December, 1921, Dr. Trevor Ar! nette, representing the General Edu! cation board, visited the college. He < expressed admiration of the remarkable work the college is doing in spite of its deliciencies in room j equipment and teaching force. Up-' on the recommendation of Dr. Ar-' nctte the General Education board appropriated $5,000 to help pay salaries for this year. This saved us from a dangerous deficit in our cur-1 rent expenses account. * j , The reports of Jas. C. Kinard,' treasurer of the faculty, and of S. J. . DnrriVk nr-tincr treasurer of the i ?300,000 fund, will be submitted to j the board at the annual meeting on i June 5th and made a part of this re-, port. The report of the treasurer of the faculty will show very little deficit in current expenses for the year when there is considered the deficit; > of last year taken care of in this account. The athletics committee of the' faculty and the athletics commi'ttee, of the Newberry County College club together out on a campaign for the jsale of season tickets good for all athletics events on the campus for one year, beginning April 1st. This effort was approved by the standing ..'committee. It was the hope of the joint committee to realize from the ;sale of tickets funds sufficient first, to finance the athletics of the college; | second, to show a balance sufficient j to justify the board in undertaking . | the erection of a new $25,000 gym, nasium. Not all hoped for was realized, hut the first objective, the fin, aneing of athletics, was accomplished jand enough above this secured to grade and equip a new athletics field, j This will cos>t about $2,000. I .ask the ; board to give to the committees namJ cd above authority to proceed at once j with this work. ; ! I believe the time has come when \ the college must have a new gymnasijum, a larger space for the library, and additional class rooms.

SHULER ar Orangebu the town of Newberry should give the j, money for the gymnasium. I recom-!1 mend that the board instruct the !i standing committee to make an effort ; at once to secure $25,000 in cash and bankable subscriptions from the cit-!' izens of the town, and near.by com-; muities for this purpose, and to be-;1 ?;n tiio wnrl- on the building1 as soon j ?,111 .. i as possible. At the meeting on June j1 5th I think I can show that this plan / can be successfully carried out. If the above pian succeeds, I rec-' ommend that the standing commit-, tee be instructed then out of such' funds as may be available,?and the.; cost will be small,?to fit the main!' room , of the present gymnasium { building for the library, to equip the; basement of this building for the mu- j' seum, then to equip the spare in Kel-j ler hall now occupied bv the library j and museum for class-rooms. Smeltzer bill as a dormitory is just as unsuitable as ever. It has been our j fond hope that the college authorities j would be able to reconstruct this1 building, making it a comfortable,', modern dormitory. But I can see no \\r<*v tn do this until such time as the subscriptions to the ?300,000 fund j are p<aid. Now as you v/ill see by the treasuser's report, not more thanj. $30,000 is available for this purpose,', hardly more than one-third enough, i Three new professors are needed! in addition to those we have now: A;' professor of ancient 1 anguages, an 1 ditional professor in the department j of natural science, and one also in the j departmet of English language and . literature. The men now here are ! carrying on the work and it is quite : time they are doing it well.
