m ANNOUNCEMENT Professor W. H. Tharp, of Little Rock, Ark., has been elected to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of President Jones. The Board feels that in the selection of Professor Tharp the design of the founders of the school has been fully met, and that the purpose of future expansion and constantly improving standards has been kept well in mind. Existing contracts require that the present standards shall be fully maintained ; and the views held by Professor Tharp as to the need of thoroughness in the education of Southern women are a sufficient guarantee that we shall have his unreserved co-operation in carrying out our policy. With a location in the most salubrious climate in the Union, with buildings and grounds unequalled in the South, with unusual facilities for communication with all parts of the country, and with confidence and pride in the women who have won our diplomas, we look 10 the future with the hopefulness born of past success, confident in the conviction that there is a growing disposition among our Southern people to patronize only such institutions of learning as confine their certificates of proficiency to those who have thoroughly and honestly mastered the details which make up the required work. Promising that nothing shall be left undone on our part to make real our orig- inal purpose to lay here the foundations of an institution great in its elements of comprehensive honesty, we announce that our doors are open, and that our facil- ities are placed at the disposal of a discriminating public. For the ensuing year the former faculty has been largely retained, and two additional professors have been added to the literary department. Where vacancies have been created they have been tilled by specialists of high efficiency, and while the number has been augmented the personnel has not depreciated. Our Board is not self-perpetuating. The property is held in trust by a Board of Trustees appointed by the Baptist General Association of Virginia, and the proceeds of the school, after running expenses are paid, revert to the Board of Trustees. Done by order of the Board of Trustees of Southwest Virginia Institute. M. M. MORRIS, President. S. C. HODGES, Secretary. Bristol, Va.-Tenn., May 30th, 1898. 11
