WB&M??mm ber triumptt.^ vf x I i S f s ? We ?ave -met to celebrate withJ?tting ceremoa^es "4%e. Laying of the corner-1 stone of this grand State institution of learning. It is, as it were, the public aui officwl tetb of the Woman's Col? lege. As chairman of the board of trustees the task bas fallen to me-and I perform it willing ly-to make * a few introductory remarks. ' And first let me say that, in casting about io*, my mind for something fitting the occasion, I thought it would interest you to know sometfciog about, the ceremony itself, and I went to work to look up the sub? ject. I soon found that I bad gotten into very deep water -so deep in fact that I have never touched botton-for although I have ransacked encyclope? dias and Masonic dictionaries, I can and nothing very clear on the subject, and absolutely nothing as to its origin, j We read every day of the laying of the corner-stone of this monument or that edifice or church, and it is always done by the Free Masoos, but the Masons themselves, while they employ a most imposing ritual and use symbols that are very impressive, are equally in the dark with ourselves as to whee, where, or by whom the ceremony was insti? tuted. Io tracing the matter up I got as far back as the Book of Job-one of the oldest books io the world. He lived more than fifteen buodred years before Christ, according to the accepted chronology,and in that remarkable poem occurs this awe-inspiring query, pro? pounded by God himself to the Man of Many Sorrows: "Where wast thoo when ? laid the foundations of the earth ; declare if thou hast uoderstaod ing ? Who bas laid the measures thereof, if thou kno west ? or who hath stretched the line upon it ? Whereupon arc the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the-corner-stone thereof, wheo the morning stars sang together and all the SODS of God shouted for joy V Here we Sod mention made of the corner-stone of the earth, as thong h it were an edifice built by God himself ; also of the "line'7 which Masons use for their measuring. Of course the Book of Job was written by a man and j necessarily his similes had reference to pre-existing conditions aod customs, and the beautiful ceremonial, which you will shortly witness, will excite io your hearts and minds sensations aod thoughts of the most solemn aod iospir iog nature. The mind will dwell np the idea of a great first cause, a su f(?LDdation and a vise adaptation means to*eods, while the heart will lifted io gratitude for the blessings i enjoy io this world and the hope of higher life io the next; and, theo, t imagination will picture bright? dreams and anticipations for the futa ?of the institution which we propose l^rect here, aud the boundless ben fits that are to accrue therefrom our State and people Victor Hugo, in speaking of the py amids, describes, them j/so-old^ih tfej^have^forgottea the names Of thc founders;" and. wuile, as we have see t?ene is^o^ing;i?>:bis^rytioa?;bing: ti o8g|& o? ifee eer?monj; ? ^ing,. tl corner-stone, the first beginnings Masonry, the origin of the order, a equally a mystery. It is claimed 1 some that the Masonic fraternity fir became an organized or corporate boc at?ith$t<buildiag e^? So !o?ou.'s3 Tempi wy&'was dedicated near?yr2,9?0 yea ago. Whether this be true or fais there is absolute proof that the Masoi are the most ancient guild or order i the world ; and, while Hugo's apotheg is aonHcable to the fraternity? it is ce tyfejtb&t a|eecerj^ny, simftarjposs^l to xbe one wb'tclf Jyou wuf wTthess^fi day. was performed at the beginning < the erectioo of that magnificent edifice which Ravid's son erected to the Moi HM tl * ' f-9 hi the days of old, it is true that rfc Mason was the mau who hewed tb stone, fitted it to its place, tried it wit his level, measured it with bis square fixed its perpendicular by its plummet aod placed it io position as a basis an starting point of ths edifice. But whil the stooe-cutter of to-day may be Free Mason, the Free Mason, is no loi ger necessarily a worker with tbe ham mer and the chisel. The history of th transition from the active, practica workman to the speculative, mys teri ou philanthropist and doer of" charitabl works might interest you, but I mus hasten on, and you will doubtless b more than willing to nave your miad brought back from this excursion int the dim past, with its unknowable mys tenes aod its ' inspirations, to the pre seot with its duties and high purposes - The' history of higher education ii .Sooth. Carolina for- men is one. of whicl Our people may weil b? jSraad. Thi Sooth Carolina College, at Columbia was founded io 1801, ninety-three yean ago, and it has always, deserved ao< received a handsome support from th? State. The Citadel, another school foi boys was established Sfty-one yean ago. Un ti I within the last eight years these two colleges, which were prompt? ly reopeoed as soon as the white peo? ple regaioed possession of the govern ment in South Carolina in 1876, were considered ample by those who had control to supply all the needs of oui people for higher education by the |tate- m m Bui tko, w&eels -of^ ptogress- . were moving even in South Carolina, and, after'a some-ghat protracted and bit? ter strogg?e, .another school fur. boys Clemson College-was established in 1889 by act of the General Assembly, and opened its doors to students last July. This school is a new departure. The three fundamental ideas which have Actuated those who plead for it, and who have opened it so success? fully, are cheapness, the dignity of la? bor, and the application of applied science to practical affairs. It is 4 'bread aod trotter**' sclwof io -every sense of the word, seeking to fit men for the occupatioo8 they in?end to follow, while giviog a good practical drill in the English branches. It was contended by those who opposed its being found? ed, that the man should be educated first and leave bim to acquire technical or special training afterwards. The fundamental idea of the Clemson cur? riculum is that the two shall go to? gether; that while the mind is being drilled to reason correctly and the brain cultivated by the acquisition of knowledge, the hand and eye shall also be trained, and that, instead of wast? ing time in physical culture in the gymnasium or on the base ball ground or in the tennis court, the boy shall receive all necessary muscular devel? opment by performing labor which is educational on the farm aud iu the workshop. That this college has met a long-felt want and that our people have faith and hope for the new sys? tem of education, you have ocular de? monstration in the splendid corps of cadets, numbering 560, who have paid their own way to come across the State to give ao earnest of the pleasure they feel in adding eclat to the occa? sion which has brought us together. Consider that ten months ago every one of these erect, manly looking youngsters was a gawky, slouchy country lout or city dude, while half of them have only been at Clemson since February, and you will give due credit to those in charge of it for the transformation which bas been wrought. I have reasoo to know that the trans? formation going on in their minds is equally marked. These youths are the seed corn of our country. They are being taught that God helps those who help themselves ; that success in j life requires self-reliance and labor ; ! that work is honorable ; that work is necessary, and that South Carolina will never achieve greatness except through 1 the efforts of her own children ; that i knowledge of books is good, but not the only knowledge that is necessary ; j that knowledge of things is better; and that skill, energy and perseverance, with diversified pursuits, will alone make Sooth Carolina great and prospe- ! rous. We find, when we come to recapitu- j late, that the Sooth Carolina College, I hoary with age aod rendered illustrio by the famous men it bas educate stands strong and sturdy among i clustering elms, in our Capital Cit The Citadel, equally honored by i alumni, is doing its special work Charleston. Clemson, which is spann* by such a bright rainbow of promis is fanned by the mountain breezes j Oconee. AU for boys, j What have we done for our womej ! Where does the State educate its f j ture mothers ? The answer to the oi j question is "nothing*'; the answer ! the other is alas, too often, "nowhere, j But, thank God, this great wrong w j soon be righted. This reproach ou 01 ? justice aud our statesmanship will t ?longer cause us to blush. We ha^ j watted long-too long-but tardy ju ! tice will be done to the sisters of tl ? boys for whose education the State hi ? spent hundreds of thousands of dollar while the girls have received nothing Grander in design than atiy or all them, larger and more elaborate io a cbitecture, more beautiful and om; mented, as is fitting; the Winthrc Normal and Industrial College of Sout j Carolina, will ere long pierce the sk ? with its stately spire, and the sky i ! York will be spanned by another brigl rainbow of promise, that will attract tli gaze of the people, not only of th j St?te but of many States. The buik I ing, whose" corner-stone we lay todaj I is one of the largest single school ed fices in the South, aud, when the tw dormitories, which are required to con plete the plan, are erected, it will b the largest female college of its kind i the Union. Be it said to the men of the Stat that, whether from shame at thei long neglect, or from a tardy realiza tion of the necessity and importance o the system of training which we propos to inaugurate here, that there has no been one dissenting voice thus far raise* agaiost the building and equipment o this college, since the idea first tool shape three years ago. Before I proceed to give a brief out line of tbe scope and plan of the in stitution as it bas been mapped out. bi the board of trustees, I would go bael a little to speak of Clemson. As you al know, that college is located at For Hill, the old home of Carolina's great est 8tatesmon, John C. Calhoun. Thc history of its endowment by Mr. Clem soo, whose names it bears, is not neces sary to be given as you are all familial with it. It is of the connection of thc school with Calhoun's memory aod spirit, which is its presidiog genius that I wish to speak. Io 1850, Daniel Webster, Calhoun's great compeer io the Seoate, was made Secretary of State in Fillmore's cabinet, and his place wac filled by appoiotmeot of the Goveroot of Massachusetts, In March of that year Calhoun passed to the land ol shadows, aod this successor of Webster, a mao of ooted ancestry, of ripe schol? arship, the highest iotegrity aod char? acter, the broadest statesmanship, elo? quent aod every way fitted to do the subject justice, prooouoced a eulogy -upoo the dead Carolinian io the House of Representatives of which be had been a member for ten years previous, which was eminently worthy of both. This is the bond of uoioo between the two meo. Disgusted with the trend of political affairs, for be was a frieod of the South, this mao retired from public life aod devoted himself to such other purs aits aod good works, as have made his oame a household word io America. So that wheo George Peabody, the celebrated philanthropist wbo has done so much for edocatioo io the South, died this geotlemao was appointed chairman of the board of trustees to carry out bis will. This was more than twenty-five years ago, aod you cao readily see that he must be very old. At his home io Boston be is calmly awaiting the call of the Master, It was our hope aod pur? pose, and we used every effort to have him grace this occasion with his pres? ence, but his physical condition did not permit. In response, however, to our urgent invitation, he has sent us a let? ter, which T will read : BOSON, Mass., 3d May, 1894. His Excellency Governor Tillman, the Hon. W. D. Mayfield, Prof. Edward S. Joyues, Committee-Gentlemen : Your most obliging letter of the 30th ult , reached me last evening and I has? ten to acknowledge it with my sincere thanks. When my illustrious friend, Mr. Peabody, to whose memory all the tributes of Southern schools aod col? leges rightfully belong, placed in my baud his great instrument of endow meat more than a quarter of a century j ago, and appointed me the permanent chairman of hts trustees, I did not j dream for a moment of the duties or j distinctions which that appointment j would involve. My heart, like that of Mr. Peabody, was wholly engrossed j with the welfare of the children of the j South, and with the restoration of bro- ! therly love among the people of the Union. I could not have imagined that I should enter my eighty-sixth year, if at all, to be BO highly honored as your communication announces, in the old State of South Carolina. Conscious of laving co operated to the extent of my j ability with my fellow-trustees aud with our successive general agents, Dr. Sears and Dr. Curry-, in promoting the vital cause of education in all the Southern States, which were included in Mr. Peabody's endowment, I have repeatedly excused myself from any personal recognition. I have found an : ample reward for all I have done or attempted to do in the signal success j with which the efforts of our board have beeb attended and blessed. ' I cannot, however, be insensible as ! my life is drawing so near its close, to the distinguished compliment arranged i for my approaching birthday. M heartily do I wish I could be with y at Rock Hill personally on that oc< sion, but age and infirmities com] me to deny myself and I can only ? sure you of my heartfelt gratitude. The Normal and Industrial Colle with which South Carolina has honor my name had already fulfilled the ? pectations and hopes of its frien under the devoted care of Preside Johnson. May it continue to be I centuries to come an ornament a support to the State which .bas so wif ly and liberally founded it. Believe me, gentlemen, respectful and faithfully your obliged fellow-ci zen. KOBERT C. WINTHROP. I will say here, by way pf parent!] sis. that it was through bis fosterii care as trustee of the Peabody fun that the training school for teache started in Columbia io 1886, began t work which laid thc foundations of t institution which we are now erecting I know I voice the sentiment of eve man, woman and child io this audien and in Soutn Carolina, that it is alt gether fit and right that we have ho ored Calhoun's friend ano eulogist 1 giving his name to Clemson's twin si ter And I known you will all uni with me in the prayer that this gran good old man may be spared at least see the fruition of our hjpes in tl assembling within these walls of tl 600 South Carolina girls for whom v are preparing. Neither of these m< can receive any honor from the assoc ation of their names with the two co leges. Let us hope that the youths our State from association will emula their illustrious example. This school is to be known as tl Winthrop Normal and Industri College. These two words, "no mal" and "industrial" are the tw load stars which must guie our people out of the wilderoei of poverty, ignorance and stagnatio which surrounds us. Within the meaning lies our only hope-tb one says educate, the other mean work. I would not be understood s claiming or intending that the wome of our State do not now work, or tbs they are all ignorant. In fact, som years ago, io discussing the causes c our depressed financial condition, made the^assertion and I stick to it ye that only two classes of our populatio: did their share of work. No observan or fair minded person will deny tha our wives and daughters have met th changed conditions wrought by th emancipation of the slaves with muci greater success and fortitude than tb meo, and that they do a much Urge portion of work than we do. On tb. other band, it is equally patent that t h ? bulk of the labor among the coloree people is performed by men. But to return to the scope and pur pose of the two lines of teaching wbicl we expect to pursue here. We desin to say that we folly realize and under stand the great need of better teacher; -teachers trained specifically for thai vocation. There are hundreds anc thousands of fairly well educated wo meo io our State, many of whom are following the noble avocation of teach? ing. Bot the mere possession of knowl edge does not carry with it the powei of imparting it, of exciting emulation, of making study interesting, of training children bow to think and exercise theil reasouing powers. I have often thought that teachers are born, not made ; and we occasionally meet with those who have a genius for imparting knowledge. Bot the improved systems which have been adopted in the Wiotbrop School and facility with which all the graduates of that school obtain positions at more remunerative wages thao others of equal education, who have not bad its advan? tages, is proof that normal traioiog is au absolute necessity and invaluable. Without reflecting io the slightest :ipoo the work which has hitherto been done io this line, it is our purpose to enlarge and improve ou that work, and it will be our ambition to have such profes? sors and inaugurate such a curriculum as will not ooly furnish facilities for persons already educated to get this normal training, but to take the young girl fresh from home and carry her through all the classes up to the high? est proficiency in the normal depart? ment, conferring degrees for the vary? ing degrees of proficiency. There will never be any restrictions as to the number of normal students, but we will take all who apply for this specific train? ing. But along with the normal, -co-ordi? nated and of equal importance, will be the industrial feature of the school. Somebody long ago said "knowledge was power.'' In these latter days, we have also come to learn that knowledge is also money independence. And knowledge coupled with skill, backed by industry, will always insure any woman, however fragile, absolute ex? emption from want and poverty Every father who thinks aright, would have his daughter, if thrown on ber own re? sources, able to earn her own support. The effects of slavery upon our habits and customs are still plainly visible, however. We are disinclined as a peo? ple to have our women leave home to seek their fortunes or enter into indus? trial life. The consequence is, that with the system of education which bas hitherto prevailed, preparing women solely to adorn the drawing room and shine in society, our women have been altogether helpless and our system of education have been a fatal blunder. How many thousand of our women, I tenderly nurtured, carefully trained at j the expensive boarding schools, have J found themselves by the death of fa ther, brother or husband thrown on their own resources, left to battle with | the cold, hard world by the loss of th< protectors ? Every day We come acre some of these, and while an increasii number have fouod positions of la years, as clerks in stores, the vast aro have had uo other aveoues open them excerpt work as seamstresses or cotton factories. Io these latter, owii to the fact that the manufacturing i dustries of our State have only dev? oped in the coarser fabrics, their lab has not been very remunerative, and j is only sought as the dernier resor j Any one who has visited the Northei J cities and factories is struck with tl I painful contrast in the dress, demeano . intelligence and evident prosperity j the skilled female labor, compared wil ! that which we see here in the Soutl j We can and must change this. In the industrial department of tb college it is our intention to teac everything and have the students pra< tice every industrial art that will Tea to independence. Music will be taugh but only as an industrial art-in oth< words, with such proficiency only i sioging and playing a? will insui livelihood. As an ornament it will n< be taught at ali, and those lacking i special talent will not receive tuition i it. But don't anderstand me as meat iog chat we intend only to St those wh entf-.r the industrial departments fe j making their own support. We wi i have a laundry, where the girls will d j their own washing and irooiog. Th ? chemistry and practice of cookery wi be taught and everything connecte with housekeeping. The dining-rooi and dress making departments, and a that goes to make up those tbousao and one things, which a woman baa t do to make a pleasant home, will b taught in the best manner possible They will be taught by having thee done by the students themselves, fo we will have DO servants except for tb drudgery work. All the distinctions o wealth will be done away with. Ever pupil in the school will be required t wear a uniform, aod a girl's whol clothing outfit, for a year, will cost DO exceeding ?20 Fm getting in dee] water here, for Fm oot altogetbe skilled io this department ; bot I koo? every father aod husband will sympa thize with our aspirations along thi line. I will simply say, as a coro liar that I have a daughter off at boarding school, who has been? gone nearly s year. She carried off a big Saratoga trunk full, and her mother bas sent het so many dresses since she left that sh< will have to boy aoother trunk to ge back home with-abd I am determined that DO girl shall ever leave the Win throp College with or bring to it, s Saratoga trunk. There will be DO conflict or rivalry between the Normal aod Iodustrial de? partments. ID fact, the normal stu dents will be required to take indus? trial training in order that we may be able to have manoa! training taught by the Winthrop graduates io our free common schools, wheo this feature shall be grafted oo to oar school sys? tem, as we hope to see done ere loog. Now, Pm goiog to do some very plaio talking. While our aspirations aod ambitions are all in the direction of ?ttiog women for self-support, both as teachers aod as followers of iodus? trial avocatioos, I waot it understood that I, at least, am irrevocably op? posed to anything beiog done or taught here that will tend io the slightest degree to rub the bloom off of the peach. God forbid that this school shall ever send forth a woman who bas been uosexed. We would have the clinging, helpless creature, able to stand erect aud walk ; we would have the bird giveo wings-to fly from home-seek aveoues of independence ; but never, never, never have any of the daughters of Sooth Carolina, who shall be trained io those walls, by rea? son of the strength and self reliance which we hope to impart here, become other than helpful wives and happy and self respecting mothers. Woman's special providence in life is that of a home-maker. Her greatest glory, her proudest distinction, the object of her creation in fact, is that of motherhood. "Woman, God's last, best gift to man," is associated with all that is brightest and noblest and best in men's lives. As daughter, sister, sweetheart, wife, mother, she ts in? spiration and a solace. As a wife she doubles man's joys and halves his sor? rows, simply by sharing them ; but the highest, purest, most self-sacrificing love in the world is that of a mother. It is to fit women to be mothers-high, no? ble, properly trained mothers, the nat? ural and proper guardians of children, that this school is founded. We will start it io that path, give it the bias aod direction to which it should be held, and thus best discbarge the high duty imposed upon us by those who have placed us in control. Coutrast the picture I have drawn of a woman trained in all the domestic arts and economies, and some bread winning occupation ; self-reliant and strong, yet withal modest, self-respect? ing and lady-like, with what we some? times see, oftener read about-a strong minded, bold, brazen, pert, self-assert? ing female, prating of "woman's rights." "man's tyranny and selfish? ness," the "degradation of nursiog children," and so on, ad nauseam. The first a picture to illustrate Words? worth's noble lines : "She was a phantom of delight. Wheo first she gleamed;upoo my sight, A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment's ornament : I Her eyes as stars of twilight fuir, Like twilights, too, her dusty bair, But all things else about her drawn From Maj-time and the cheerful dawn. "A cieature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food ; For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, lore, kisses, tears aod smiles, The reason firm, rbe temperate will, Endurance, foresight, streDgth aod skill ; A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort and to command." Of the other I have no fit description, for poets have never sung her praises, but her positioo in the estimation of all right thinking men and women can be pretty well set forth in the last line of a piece of doggerel brought home from school the other day by my little six year old daughter, who took great delight in repeating it : .'I know a little girl With a little curl Hanging rigb down ber forehead, When she is good, Sbe is very, very good, But wbe:> she is bad she is horrid." These composite, uooatural, unsexed women, striving to be like men, have lost all the finer graces and charms, which have always made men the slaves of the sex, and have gained nothing in exchange except their own morbid self-esteem. Such women are "simply horrid,'' and it will be the am? bition and care of all friends of this college that it shall never send forth or harbor one of these "horrid crea? tures." Every true man acknowledges the existence and pays due respect to "woman's rights." Wordsworth gives her the right to "command," and all men since Adam set us the example in obedience, even to do evil, have obeyed when the behest was given by a true woman in a womanly way. The young men who will be trained at Clemson, in the manner I have in? dicated will naturally look hither and seek among the students who will flock to Rock Hill for their future help? meets. They are even here now recon? noitering the ground. And after Win? throp gets fully under way, I think that it ought to be the fixed policy of the management of the two . colleges to have frequent migrations to and fro, for it will inspire and help the boys to come here, and the girls will be equally benefited by an occasional ex? cursion to Clemson. The alliance is a natural one and the two schools ruo into each other, and are just as much bone of one bone, flesh of one flesh as though already married. But I must' Irasten" to a conclusion and leave to the distinguished orator of the day a fuller and more eloquent discussion of themes. Before closing I want to give empha? sis to ooe thought. I bave already pointed out the unanimity with which men of all classes, conditions aod ideas haye joined bands in aiding to erect this school. It is the one thing and the only thing upon which the men of South Carolina are at present united. Only alluding, in passing, to the division and bitterness which ex? ists among oar people allow me to express the hope that this point of un? ion may grow and spread : that the io 8piration8 of this day may prove a harbinger and help to basteo the res? toration of that harmony and friendly feeling which once existed and which must necessarily return before we can have any great degree of prosperity. Oar interests are one, our ancestry is the same-let ns yield to the rule cf ' justice aod reason and the government of the majority, for we be brethren. Why not dwell together as brethren ? As in the days of old the ancient Sabines were brought to peace with the Romans by the women who bad been seized and born off capitves to become the wives of the latter ; so may the women of Sooth Carolina become our peacemakers. Let them take bold of the work in earnest-go to all the campaign meet? ings in fall force to make their fath? ers, husbands and brothers behave themselves; aud at the end of the summer we will have something ber? the than prohibition or tbe sub-treas? ury : "Peace in all our hearts, Peace in all oar homes."
