"The greatest Impulse toward def inlteness In the work of the students is, I suspect, in the growth In the. past five yearn of the courses In sci ence, especially In applied science. These appeal to a groat many men who could not be Interested In the general culture courses of a limited curriculum. t'ollcgc men want to be ready for 'a good job,' and many of them are not fitted for what are call ed 'the learned professions.' The fact that a number of men each year g6 from the college Immediately Knlo good positions In electrical engineer ing, in chemistry and In geology Is an argument that appeals Htrongly to the sense of work In men who could not be aroused to activity by the old scheme of thing.

FEW SERIOUS FIRES. Aoheville's Good Reu-ord During luOg only Two Bart Fires Licenses Issued. ' Special to The Observer. Ashevllle, Jan. 2 The records In Are heHdquarters show that Ashevllle was most fortunate during 190 In escaping serious conflagrations. Dur ing the entire 12 months there was a total nf r,H calls turned In. but only In two Instances did the fires result in any serious loss. These two fires were the destruction of the Wiley P. Black distillery on the night of Jan uary 9, and the burning of the Burn ette & Lasater carriage depository on the night of June 12. It Is doubtful If the entire fire loss during 190(1 will exceed $40,000.

INDIVIDUALITY AN ESSENTIAL Dr. Moffatt ald that the Lord had made no two persons alike, nnd that for a person to forget this fart and by Imitation op other means lone their In dividuality waa to make a human fail ure. In like manner the Great Ruler has given to Inatltutlnns distinct individ ualities. It b Just as Important for an Institution to maintain It Individuality as lor fi parson.. For Erskine College there Is Jns. one-way to go forward, all other way. willing her baek. Her pe culiarity and Ihsjlvwuallty must be pro tected against the change and affectation of the eHiy. He spoke of some of tha personalities tc he found In the distinct 'Erskine tyne of a atiident. First he has a general all rounded manhood that Is a' part of him self;, second, he carries and presents himself well before any and all peoples; third, he Is always found on the firing line for truth and his Church. These Dr. MnfTatt says are the distinctive tvpei of F.rsklne. These exeellenrW are ' invari ably found whenever we ftni a true Erskine tye. , He spoke of the things that have pro duced these types, and paid a high tri bute to the llirrary societies here. He said he wanted to see these lynes Jeal ously guarded and protected, (lint ho wanted to get close to the student hody and live close to them and have them live close to him. In giving I1I.1 policy Dr. Moffat t hns done well to outline the. very course that has been pursued by his worthy pn ilecesaor. Dr. F. Y. Prcssly will now devote his entire time to Ihe Theological Seminary work. On laying down the ccllejfe work he leave Erskine on a firmer Insls and with a clearer course marked out than ever before He take in the work of the lata and lamented Dr. W. L.
