100 Naval Students Coming
The streets of Newberry will
soon resound to the tread 1 of
young men wearing navy uni
forms, the trainees who are to be
stationed at Newberry College.
The program begins July first.
390 students have been assigned
to Newberry. Eighty per cent of ,
these young men will be trans
fers from other colleges to con
tinue their college courses here.
The others will be freshmen.
The military features of this
program will be definitely subor
dinated to the academic. The
College authorities will have
complete control of such matters
as selecting te'its, conducting
classes, giving examinations, de
termining academic eligibility,
etc. Many of the civilian stu
dents will attend classes with the
naval trainees. The purpose of
the V-12 curriculum is to pro
vide college education for pros
pective officers in the Navy.
Therefore, there will be no in
terruption of the regular college
work. Ample .provision will be
made to take care of all civilian
students. The College will con
tinue to offer the regular courses
as heretofore.
$50.00 a month and his subsis
tence. He will be in uniform.
The Government will pay all
costs of instruction. The stu
dents, of course, will be under
navy discipline.
The trainees will occupy quar
ters in the men’s dormitory and
in Smeltzer Hall. Women board
ing students will reside in Carne
gie Hall, Which has recently been
remodeled to provide very attrac
tive and comfortable accomoda-
tionsi for them.
The College will now operate
on a full twelve-months’ basis to
conform the navy program. This
new system will enable the Col
lege to help meet the critical
shortage of trained men and
women in the various vocations.
The Government is murging that
educational processes be acceler
ated as much a® possible for this
purpose. The calendar year will
be divided into three terms of six
teen weeks each, beginning July
1, November 1 and March 1. A
Freshman who enters College on
July 1st will receive his degree
within less -than three years. The
Each naval trainee will receive
new schedule means that the Col
lege probably will have hereafter
several commencement seasons a
year as students graduate.
A high school graduate under
17 may enroll for the V-12 course
if he is academically eligible and
When he becomes of age may
take the navyt ests. If he is ac
cepted it is possible for him
then to be enlisted as a naval
trainee with advanced' standing.
This enables him to secure his
commission more quickly in the
April tests but are not being as
signed to active duty until the
November term.
It is expected that many of
the naval students will be per
mitted to remain at Newberry
more than one term, some of
them to graduate. Two such
terms are equivalent to one full
college year.
A pamphlet describing the new
academic set-up is in press and
may be had upon application to
the College.

HOME FOR GIRLS NEEDS AID
Mrs. Charles D. Bailey, , Field
Worker for the Florence Crittenton
Home was in Newberry this week in
interest of the home in Charleston.
Mrs. Bailey said that due to the in
flux of new people in Charleston the
home was sorely taxed to meet
the demands upon it. Crittenton
Homes operate nationally and take
care of girls who make their first
mistake; they do not operate the
home for habitual offenders of the
moral law.
Anyone careing to make a contri
bution to the home should address it
to Florence Crittenton Home, 19 St.
Margaret Street, Charleston, S. C.
Below is a few facts about services
of this nationally known home for
unwed mothers and thdir babies.
“The Florence Orittemfon Home
in South ■Carolina was established in
Charleston in October 1899, through
the efforts of the Christlove Mission
of the King’s Daughters with the
personal assistance of Mr. Charles
N. Crittenton, national founder of
the work. It is one of the 64
Florence Crittenton Homes in the
United States. The home in Charles
ton is chartered under the State of
South Carolina and i® governed by
a board of directors representing a
wide field of religious and civic in
terests.
Purpose of The Home
To shelter and care for the un
married mother and her child; to
give her understanding, friendship
and guidance; to provide her with
pre-natal care, hospitalization, train
ing in baby care and to cooperate to
the fullest with local or state agen
cies interested in securing the best
possible adjustment for the girl and
her baby when they are ready to
leave the home.
Admission To The Home
All admissions, inquiries and re
ports are confidential and in charge
of the superintendent. No South
Carolina girl facing motherhood for
the first time, whose health reports
are satisfactory, is refused admission
because of her inability to pay the
entrance fee.
A contribution in any amount,
mailed to the home will mean that
you are helping some South Caro
lina girl to*again take her place in
the life of the state. _
