THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR, 1926-1927 - HE year 1926-1927, now rapidly drawing to a close, has been marked by important achievements in l:urnun University. The session began with the inauguration of Freshman Orientation Week, a plan for the introduction of new students to college before the work of upper classmen begins. Those closest to the situation feel that the plan worked well, and it is the purpose of the University to continue it. There have been enrolled in the University for the year 554 students, distributed as follows: Freshmen .......................................................... 164 Sophomores . 132 Juniors.............................................................. 94 Seniors . . ..................................................... 100 Law Students....................................................... 24 Special Students ................................................... 18 Extension Students ................................................. 22 In addition to these, thirty students have enrolled for correspondence work. The total enrollment therefore is 584. More professors have taught during the session, and more courses have been offered than ever before. In recent years practically all departments have increased the number of courses offered, and several new departments have been added. For the present session the work in biology, history. Bible, and education has been expanded and the enrollment in these departments has been large. Other departments have maintained the high standards of previous years. Remarkable success has attended student activities during the year. In Glee Club work, lebating. and athletics. Furman men have given a good account of themselves. The Y. M. C. A. has been active in fostering the religious life of the students. A meeting led by Dr C. A. Owens and conducted under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and the faculty deepened the spiritual life of students and faculty. The session has seen the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the University. Furman was founded in 1826. and on December 7 and 8. 1926. the completion of a hundred years of service was fittingly celebrated. December 7th was devoted to an academic celebration, and December 8th to an alumni and denominational program. Among the speakers were some of the leading educators of the country, several of them alumni of Furman University. An effort inaugurated four years ago to add $500,000 endowment to Furman University in the centennial year has resulted in the addition of approximately S400.000. The General Education Board of New York City, offered $175,000 on condition that the University would raise $325,000. Considerably more than $325,000 was subscribed, but because of financial depression in the State not all of the money subscribed has been paid in. and the date set for the end of the campaign has been reached with a shortage in payments of about $69,000. It is hoped that the General Education Board will grant an extension of time and that the full amount will be raised. R. N. Daniel, than. Pa jr Ttcsnty-tftm
