As soon as the income will allow, it is proposed to reorganize tile departments of Philosophy and History, with a Professor of Philosophy and Education and a Professor of History and Political Science, and to add to the full Professorships in Chemistry and Physics a full Professor of Biology. A Cam. and a Chau.enge The facts here brought together constitute a call and a challenge. The South Carolina Baptist State Convention has here a great enterprise in its hands: a great and growing and quite incalculably useful enterprise of fundamental and essential importance to the progress of our people. It enshrines as no other enterprise does or can ever do the traditions and spirit of our history in this State: the great names of that history are forever linked with Purmah University. These great spirits of the past who rule us from their urns and who invested here their love and prayers and gifts, invite us of the present generation to join them in their service of all coming generations by like investment of love and prayer and gifts. A prosperity such as they never saw has dawned upon us: resources beyond their dreams are at command. And they challenge us to do with our means as well as they did with theirs. Men and women of South Carolina who love Christ and their fellows can win no surer title to the gratitude and veneration of coming generations than by linking their names with Furman University, and joining hands to make the University what the opening future demands. As compared with such a use of our resources the building of private fortunes is despicable indeed, which, as Mr. Andrew Carnegie has lately said, ministers not to any taste worthy of man.” Surely the time cannot be far off when individuals, some of whom are reading this article, will, of their own judgment as to wise investements. and without solicitation, put their thousands into Furman University. Of all such we may be sure that generations to come will rise up and call them blessed. —Written by President Pote nt 13
