The truth of the above-quoted
allegation 1 most emphatically, aud
iu my official capacity deny, and
throw the onus probandi upon the
aocusiug parlies. We all admit that
for some time previous to, aud duriug
the war, the^ affairs of the College
were unfortunately managed, so that
we lost a building that had been
improperly constructed, and an eu
dowmeut that was all invested iu
Confederate bond#; and with all this
miamanagoinciit, the aaaesU of the
College fared about aa well aa the
private estates of many of the croak
ers who have called forth this arti
die. Whilst they groau over the
mysteries aud miseries of Newberry
College,.they forget that their own
mate helium |K»«*e*sioua have drifted
into courts of bankruptcy, into sher
iff’* dutches, into the Columbia IVui-
teutiary, and (worse still) into the
Legislature of Mouth Carolina !!
On the score ot “concealincut.” is
it not a lad that the Board of Trus
tees—through their Secretary—make
on annual report of the affair# of the
College to Synod (!), which rejiort,
together with the voluminous legis-
tion of My nod -ou College matters, is
printed iu the minutes and laid be
fore the Church.
Has it been forgotten that from
the 23d to the 23th of July, 1873,
My uod met iu special couveution in
►the Iowa of Newberry, for the sole
par;mar od considering the affairs of
Lb<? College t All the book* and all
the ejffcrr# of the College wen' there.
An immense balance abeel was pre
pared, iu which every farthing the
Institution has handled since the
war wa* noted down, with the *ource
from whence it came, and the n*e to
which it woo applied. Goaded by
the narrow minded criticism* of dis-
halted in tb** minutes in full, but
Synod iejected this request from
ooasitleration* ol minomr, not w ish
ing to |kay lor the primiug. Now,
by referring to page 4d or the rain
fffoa of 187J, y tm will find the fol
lowing legislation : “The interest of
Newberry College being the object
of the extra meeting of this body,

eolhil u;m)u those mighty financiers,

Christian legislators, to come and
trite our places, and “run the

oe**, but it has been like calling
spirit# from the vasty deep. I do
uot say that they keep themselves
“coneealed,” but alas! for us, we
have never Iron able to find them.
It only remains for u# to state
here, what 1 think we will be able to
prove, that Newtierry College gives
1 borough, collegiate education for
lew* expense to the Church, to the
Board, and to the student, than any
other College of like grade in the
United State#, and this is attributa
»le mainly to the efficiency and
laboriotifttieKN of its (acuity.
