NEWBERRY COLLEGE, NEWBERRY, S. C. 



r At a meeting of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of South Carolina, 

 f held in 1856, it was resolved to establish a " Classical and Literary Listi- 

 tution." A board of trustees was elected, a charter obtained, and New- 

 berry, S. C, chosen as the location. In 1857, the corner-stone of a 

 building was laid, and in the following year, a large and attractive 

 college edifice was completed, at a cost of $20,000. The faculty was as 

 follows : President, Rev. T. Stork, D. D., and Professors, R. Garlington, 

 0. B. Mayer, M. D., J. Bachman, D. D., LL. D., J. A. Brown, C. A. Stork, 

 A. P. Pifer, J. M. Streckhise, and M. Whittle. 



The college was opened in 1858, and during the second session (1859-60) 

 175 students were enrolled. 



A plan of endowment by scholarship was adopted, which was so suc- 

 cessful that, in 1860, the sum of $50,000.00 had been secured. A presi- 

 dent's house was built at a cost of $4,000.00, and cash subscriptions in 

 hand amounted to $3,000.00. Thus it appears that, in 1860, the property 

 of the college in endowment, buildings, etc., exceeded $75,000.00 in value. 

 The breaking out of the war between the States, in 1861, caused the 

 withdrawal of the faculty, and nearly all the students enlisted in the 

 armies of the Confederacy. 



In 1862, Rev. J. P. Smeltzer, D. D., was elected president, who, during 

 this and the following year, obtained subscriptions to funds of nearly 

 $50,000.00. From 1861-5, the college Avas not regularly open for stu- 

 dents. In 1865, the S3mod recommended to the Board to reopen the 

 college. Professors were elected, and, with a limited number of students, 

 the exercises of the institution were resumed in November of that year. 

 But the finances of the college were in a shattered condition, the endoAv- 

 ment had been totally lost by investment in Confederate securities ; and 

 the college building, beautiful in its architecture, but defective in its
