Wofford ' s Diamond Jubilee October 19, 1929 JOFFORD COLLEGE opened its doors for students on the first of August, 1854, and since that date these doors have never been closed. Even during the Civil War and the period of Reconstruction after it, when all other institutions in South Carolina were temporarily sus- pended, Wofford offered what resources it had to the service of those who might desire a liberal education. The session of 1928-29 becomes, therefore, the seventy-fifth in the history of the College, and appropriate plans are in process of forming to make significant these seventy-five years of honorable and serviceable history. Wofford, as a College of the Liberal Arts and Science, has written a record of unusual educa- tional service in training men in scholarship and character, and in the prin- ciples and duties of sound citizenship. Its Diamond Jubilee will be used as an occasion for interpreting its past in terms of its achievements. But even more important — it will be used as an occasion for looking ahead and laying the foundat ons for a larger service in the future. To re-emphasize the standards, the traditions, and ideals of the past will naturally be a part of the Jubilee celebration. However, no institution can live exclusively in its past. It must be in a constant process of re-vitalizing and re-adjust ' ng its policies. It cannot do this adequately without increasing its material resources, its endow- ment and physical equipment. During the last half-dozen years Wofford has applied its efforts to the in- crease of its endowment, and with the co-operation, chiefly of the General Edu- cation Board of New York, Mr. B. N. Duke, and the citizens of Spartanburg, has succeeded in adding approximately $600,000 to its working capital, thus raising its invested endowment to $700,000. The immediate task now before the author- ities and friends of the College is the important matter of making its physical equipment what it ought to be. Such a task will involve items like the improve- ment of the Campus and all buildings, the construction of a gymnasium and community house, an administration building, another dormitory, a common dining hall, and a central heating plant. Consequently, if the celebration of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the Col- lege is to be something more than a summary of past accomplishments, it must be the occasion for securing such material additions as will enable Wofford to write in the future an even more significant history than it has written in tha past. H. N. Snyder, President.
