TO THE TRUSTER HOARD OF AfORRIS COL LEO E AND TO THE ALUMNI OF MORRIS CULLEGE To The Baptist Brotherhood of | South Carolinaj - I MY DEAR BRETHREN: -r* For more than fifteen years, it was my privilege to talk with you under the above caption. Under this caption, I gave the outlines; and policies both in general and J detail, whit-h was followed by you, to the extent that we all can look ( -with pride- iH?on?what?has ? been accomplished by us in the field of | missions and education. Since I gave the" reign of leadership over to my friend and brother, Dr. H.j H. Butler, I have kept silent and watched with eager eye, the trend j of your advancement and progress Yhe unchallenged rapidity with' ' which you have fconc forward?-in? education and missions in church' building and organization, in keep' in^ abreast of religious - world' movements, have made me feel that my labor and toils and sac-1 rifice with you for fifteen consecu-1 tive years were not in vain: - . ' i ? But, alas: ooufh Carolina Baptists are facing another crisis. A crisis which must be faced and dealt with-s-with simple manhood and common sense. " When I came to the leadership of the Baptists some years ago, we were faced with a crisis. Yesj a crrsis very great. We had lost our hero of .missions, in the person of Dr. "Ed White." Morris College was in the making?almost in her embryotic state, and was in a heavy debt. After fifteen years as" your leader, I turn" ~ ed the leadership of the Baptist iamiiy 10 ur. Mutier at ~Tireen-~ wood, with our mission work just as it stands today; arid MOrriS College, with a fine student body and faculty equipment, the same a*--it- is today, and not- - a?dimomortgaged debt. The crisis facing us today is: Morris College is again in debt' and without a President. Again I 'come to your rescue.Again my service is offered you. I shall make no campargn. 1 shall not ask any one to vote for me as President of Morris College I shall offer^ the denomination my service upon my record and my experience in the field of education On the street in Spartanburg last Saturday, one of the trustees of Morris College said to me: "No man will be able to save Morris College out of her present conditicrhj'Mvho cannot get the ear ot the entire Baptist family of South Carolina." To this I heartily agreed. Well let's see. I wag e ? looted?as?President of the?Stato Convention fourteen consecutive times, with only one vote regisf. '.tared against me, and that was registered with compromise?that he felt that some one else should have the chance of holding the presidency of the Convention before we are all dead. For fourteen years Morris College went thru a constructive building period, all ~ debts paid. Not a single dollar ever went shy; and we never had a single Squabble over money. How about that record for business leadership? 1 At Greenwood, when I of my own accord resigned the presidency of the Convention, the Brotherhood had prior to this time placed me at the head of the mission work of the State, that I might * save this phase of the work Hence for two years I went over this State, and I don't say i t boastingly. but I .had' the Broth erhood of South Carolina as completely at my command, when it comes to advice and confidence as I have ever had my family. To The Trustee Board of Morris: " Upon you rests the responsibil-1 ity of making the selection of a President for Morris College. Wo are standing at the fork of the road in the history of Morris College. If Morris College is saved much of this youthful, unskilled. inexperfcWced ambition" on th e' part of some of our brethren must he brushed aside. Some real, old i time horse sense has got to be I Tie/Yff TtAtlf \T.v nomnoirvninrr v>/v vciil/aigllllis, IIU button holing, no bribing are going to assure the proper man f^t the head of Morris CoTTege. Thero are fathers in this State who will vote a man for the presidency of Morris College, and then reluctantly an^ trembling;" send their daughters- to the school, and eight outS?of every ten will hatch u p liomc excuse and send their daugh tors to other schools, while Morris College will be slowly dying for students and money. I hereby offer my service to you as President of Morris College upon one record. I have been in the field of education for over 30 years. For thirteen years I have had the experience as the head of a boarding school, Cedar Hill A* cademy, Spartanburg, S. C.
