Present.—Speeches are Made.
A half dozen short speeches,
sprinkled with remarks of jollity and
good feeling, a little music, and a
general happy occasion, marked the
formal opening of Hereford College
Monday morning.
Class organization had begun a
week previous and President Haile
in his opening announcement made
the statement that up to that date
112 different students had been en-
rolled as against 29 for the previous
year. The exercises were opened
by a congregational song followed
by Bro. Nance in an invocation.
The musical program consisted of a
select violin number by Miss Ratten
and a pleasing vocal selection by
Mrs. E. M. Haile.
Speeches were made by a number
o f gentleman present, President
Haile interspering a few remarks as
different points were taken.
L. Gough told of his connection
with the school since its beginning
and prophesied an enrollment of 200
next year.
Rev. W. M. Baker, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, said he felt
greatly encouraged at the good open-
iig and that the citizens of Hereford

the local managing board, in his re-
marks, said that he too was much
pleased with the auspicious opening
that the enrollment showed an
increase of 300 per cent over last
year, that though the College was j
not owned by his church that he did.

in its teachings.
R. H. Norton, member of the
board, said that he had always felt
an interest in the school since R.

the good opening this year.
R. J. Kibbe another member of
the board, stated that he was glad
of the good opening and proud to be
identified with the body of men who
were on the bourd.
A. H. £lliston, also a member of
the board, said that he was glad to

that he was still a helper and pat-

T. E. Shirley stated that it would
be impossible for him to express his
joy and satisfaction in the splendid
opening of the school. He then re-
cited for the benefit of the children
a speech which he said when only
four years of age. This delighted
the childnen and likewise amused the
older persons to see Bro. Shirley
break his usual dignified air.

delivering a series of lectures at the
Methodist Church was present and
made some telling remarks about the
value of the small colleges and the
