PARI TWO; PAGES NINE TO TWELVE NUMBER 13 DISTINGUISHED DR. CARLISLE HAS PASSED INTO ETERNAL REST President Emeritus of Wofford College Died at His Home in Spartanburg Thursday Morning, Aged Eighty Four Years. Dr. .Tames H. Carlisle, president emeritus of WolTord college, after sev eral days of critical illness, died in Spartanburg Thursday morning at 7:40, aged Si years. The death of this distinguished educator and citizen caused general sorrow throughout the state and the BOUflh, and hundreds journeyed to Spartanburg on Friday to join the people of that city in pay ing the last tribute of respect to the deceased. The funeral service was in charge of Kev. H. S. Truesdale and was held at I o'clock Friday af ternoon, interment following at Mag nolia street cemetery. The active pallbearers consisted of two members from each of the classes of Wofford, Mr. Carlos Moseley, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. .Moseley of Lauren8, being one of the representatives of the sophomore class Sketch of I>r. Curllslo. .lames Henry Carlisle was born In Winnsboro, Fairfleld county, South Carolina. May 4, 1825. His father. Dr. William Carlisle, was a native of Ireland and came to this country in ISIS, settling at Winnsboro. where be was a practicing physician for many years. Young .lames Henry Carlisle re ceived bis primary schooling in his native town. Later on bis parents moved to the historic town of Cam den, where the young man was pre pared for college, being taught by Profs. McCandless, Hat held and Maj. Leland. He entered the sophomore class of the South Carolina college, Feb. 1. 1842. During his (ionise at the college he was under Dr. Robert Henry, who bad charge of the depart ment of languages, and Dr. Leiber, who was in charge of the department of economy and civil law. Dr. Carlisle graduated in 1844, being the second honor man in the class, the tlrst honor man being (Jen. P. II. Kelson, who was killed in the batle of the "Cra ter." Being the second honor man it fell to his lot to deliver the Fnglish oration. His subject was "Shelley," the poet. It is said that ibis oration elicited much favorable continent and many predictions were, made of bis future career, but his achievements have surpassed tho most sanguine hopes of his most ardent friends. The real teacher, like the poet, is born, not made. Young Carlisle Im mediately passed from the school room as student, to the school room as teacher, being elected principal of tho Odd Follows Institute, in Colum bia, which position he Itctfd for four years. In ISIS he was edectcd to a position In the Columbia Male acad emy. In December, I860? Benjamin Wofford died. Ho left by h:is will one hundred thousand dollars "for the pur pose of establishing and endowing a college for literary, Classical and sci entific education, to be located in bis native district, and to be under the control ami management of the con ference of the Methodist Flplscopal church of his native statet" A char ter was duly secured and the trustees held their first mooting to organize under it at Newherry. Nov. 24, 1863. IHs Work For Wofford. Thus was established the institu tion which was destined to be the centre of the Intellectual Ijlfe of South Carolina Methodism and which was to bo a potent Influence 'In tin? pro duction of the highest typlo of citizen ship for the Palmetto commonwealth, Since 1864 the history of Wofford college has beea largely determined by James II. Carlisle. In 187a be was elected president of Hie inst<tu. Hon. At different times bo has taught mathematics, astronomy. CdVICS, ethics and the English Bible. He is more thoroughly conversant with South Carolina history than any living man. lie is the author of an excel lent text book on astronomy, entitled "The Young Astronomer.'" Time and again flnttering offers from other in stitutions have been made, but to all of them he ever gave a COurtOOUS re fusal, preferring to ROrVd that Insti tution of his church to which he con secrated bis lofty character and re splendent abilities. Bishop Candler once sitid that ho would rather bis boy would simply go Inty? a room whero Dr. Cfirllslo's old coat was hung up than to bo under the real tuition of many a so-called great educator. His Honors Unsought The honois that have come to Dr. Carlisle have always boon unsought. Being modest and unassuming, the very idea of seeking a personal honor seems utterly foreign to his noble na ture. He was elected a member of the first general conference of his church of which laymen were mem bers, and was elected to each suc ceeding one as long as he felt able to go. He was a delegate from his church to several Ecumenical confer ences. He was a member of the so cesion convention, signing the famous ordinance. He was a representative Dr. James H. Carlisle. in the late Confederate legislature, 1863-64. These were the tirst and only political olilces he held, though time and again he lias been urge! to accept positions of honor and trust in state and nation. Wofford's adored president has ever been a spiritual magnet, drawing out the highest and noblest in the young men who have come under his influ ence. His stately form, his graceful movement, his loving yet firm voice, und bis benign face, have blended in an imperative call to young manhood that has found a response in every heart that has known him. If you seek the monument of Dr. Carlisle look about you in church ami state and sec the mighty host of Wof ford's men of sterling worth, whose lives are a benediction to the nation, and you will lind his enduring memo rial. Last Appearance. The last time that Dr. Carlisle ap. pea red In public, was during the sum mer school for teachers at Woffot'd college, when it was the pleasure of the teachers to bear an interesting address on school life of long ago. and on Washington's visit to South Carolina after iie had been elected president of the lulled Slates. Prior to this time he had not made an address in public lor many months. The commencement at Wofford last June was the tust commencement missed by Dr. Carlisle for more than two-score years. When IjO was a member of the faculty he always oc cupied a seat on the rostrum during the commencement season, and otter he retired fron? the active presidency of the college, he never missed an ex ercise. Last .bine, however, be was IncVsposed ami it was Imposlble for him to attend any c.f the ttXwrclsCa a: the college. Dr. Carlisle was president of Wof ford college from 1ST'? to 1002, when ne resigned and became president emeritus. Following his resignation. Dr. 11. X Snyder was elected. Although be resigned the presidency of Wofford. be did not give up active voi k i')r he coip?.d to lecture on astronomy and the Bible His Bible lectures Continued nut'! las) winter, when he was forced to give no class room wotk on account ol I lie severe col I.
