Garrick has not given cause in any quarter for regret. On the con tnry a most earnest effort has been made on his part not only to live up to the confidence placed <n h{ , h'V {n ?"??ry way N . to extend his efforts to the ex haustive point. One mile stone alter another has been?passed, and he has evinced no sign o i slowing down tl^is progressive trend. He realizes that that pei son who takes too ay to boast of what he has done yesterday, on tomorrow will have no success a bout which to rave. In his modest, unassuming and unpreten_~ ciouB way,?in-his- honesty, sincerity, verity tnd simplicity, he has so endeaied himself to those a_ round him vhat he has the unrc. queied unanimous support of those closest to him and should know him and his work?his lac ulty, tnd they are praying the continuance of his capable leadership. It has., been sta-ed in can-dor. but bereft of rancor, that change cou.d he sought ior omy by those who have- not viewed ac proximity his auminis. ration, ana if tnei. asked tor, not without a frans admission on their part of hia business.iiKe yet suaaghtlorwai->mttaod.

Farm quipment has been purchased for the utilization of the college's un tilled soil so as to augment limit ed lunds. Business othces have been remodelled, the decn's office more thoroughly equipped. More over, it has been deumteiy decid. - ? ed to open Bummer School here on June 4, for hve weeks, six days a week, until July 6, this year.

Ana too, plana are being perfected fo> the erecting of a library, at ar early date, adequate to supply the needs of the more than five hundred students. It is hoped tnat the Baptists of the State will in their super.abun lance of experience and wisdom, unanimously support this man whose activity is entirely cosmo. politan, impersonal and devoid of self fish _ ambitious aggrandize, meat. Finally, he is hoping that the vl rally, The PINSON MEMORIAL RALLY, on February 29 will come up to expectations.
