nn H1 H I MURILE HALL. SOUTllWES'l' VIEXV SPRING HILLS CENTENNIAL YEAR NE HUNDRED years ago Spring Hill College first saw the light of day. Conceived in the crying need of the South for an institution of higher learning where young men might receive intellectual discipline in an elevating moral atmosphere it has adhered throughout its long existence to the principles that brought it into being. Other in- stitutions of higher education have come into the field, some of them long after Spring Hill had attained its majority, and surpassed Spring Hill in size and enrollment, but nothing has been able to draw her away from the policy that was adopted from the foundation. Founded in 1830 and conducted under the direction of Bishop Portier, the first Bishop of Mobile, it has changed its administration but not its nature several times so that today it can point to an uninterrupted period of one hun- dred years of service to the church and country. A valiant champion of truth and justice Spring Hill has labored with unfaltering loyalty and indefatigable zeal to establish the intellectual and moral standards of youth in the Southland. And these same youths have gone out to all parts of the South and to the very ends of the earth carrying with them into their business and professional life the ideals and traditions of their college years. One hundred years of devotion to the education of youth -such a record is surely worth noting. No Wonder then that Spring Hill College on the occasion of this Centennial birthday points to the glorious past and holds up the record of accomplishment still being writ- ten, for in these she finds at once a gratifying reward for her labors and a right to have her appeal for encouragement recognized by all inter- ested in religious and civic welfare.
