According to announcement, the
public examination of the different
classes hi the Collegiate, Preparatory
and Primary Departments of New
berry College, took pteee 00 last
Thursday aad Friday, 18th and 19th
inti*. A Committee of half a dozen
gentlemen, citizens of Walhalla, was
in attendance, having been appoint
ed by the President to witness the
examination. This Committee will
make a report to the Board of Trus
tees, when that Body meets next
week. The Examination was in the
main a very satisfactory one to tha
patrons of the Institution in this
community, showing that the Pro
fessors bare not boon idle daring
the Session, and that the students
have for the most part made a laud
able degree of progress tn their
studies in all the departments.
Bnt we prefer to let others speak
of oor work, as we do not wish too
evidently tp blow tho horn of our
own praise. We shall therefore
take pleasure iw laying before oor
readers the report ef the Committee
at aa early day. We may say, how
ever, and U is gratifying to os to
state the feet, that more persons
were in attendance on the Examina
tion than last year, and the people
of our town and section seem to take
more interest in the Institution.
From present indications there will
be a large crowd in attendance at
Commencement next week.
