2 BUILDINGS GOING UP WORK ON TIIE BAPTIST FEMALE UNIVERSITY PROGRESS ING RAPIDLY. OVER $14,000 ALREADY RAISED. Raleigh Has Already Contributed Lib erally But it W ill Do Still More to Push the Handsome Buildings to an Early Completion—The Financial Agent Meeting With Encouragement in the Work of Getting Subscriptions --To be Opened in September, 1890. Work is rapidly progressing on the principal building cf the Baptist Female University at the corner of Edenton and Blount streets. Carpenters, brick-layers, stone-workers and laborers are busy, the * foundations have all been com pleted and the walls are risiug rapidly. Even now enough of the general plan of the building can be seen to show that it will be a very large and handsome structure. The principal building is 190 feet long, containing nine large recitation rooms, two art rooms, a hall that will seat 500, a dining hall that will seat 825, 6 music rooms, 38 bed rooms. 3 rooms for the president, a large double parlor, with all the modern comforts and conveniences. Much of the success which the move meut for the establishment of this insti tution has attained and the bright pros THE BAPTIST FEMALE UNIVERSITY. No * Being Erected on the Corner of Edenton and Blount Sts , Raleigh. pect for the future which now confronts ! it, is cue to the untiring efforts of Rev. O. L. Stringfield, Secretary of the board of trustees and financial agent of the col lege, as well as to the generous and broad-minded Baptists of the State. Mr. Stringfield is a “hustler” and was never still a miuute in his life, except when he was asleep. Tall and lithe in figure, his industry is only equalled by his perseverance. DuriDg the last two years he has spent time, money and energy in the prosecution of his work in behalf of the University. Himself a self-made man and educated at Wake Forest by his own unaided efforts, he realizes the value of education and wishes to do all in his power to put it in the easy reach of every boy and girl in the land. Mr. Stringfield is just back from atrip in the mountains in the interest of this college, and will spend the week in Ral eigh soliciting subscriptions When seen by a reporter yesterday he was in the best of spirits. “Yes,’ said he in reply to a question, “I have just been spending a week in the mountains, but I didn’t go there for rest, or rather I didn’t rest while I was there. Times are too hard and money too scarce these days to rest, ! visited Hickory, Morganton, Salisbury, Gastonia and other places in the Piedmont sec tion in the interest of the Baptist Female University, and I found the people most generous and warm-hearted. In sub scriptions I had remarkable success, raising over two thousand dollars during the week, and under very adverse cir cumstances. “I tell you the people are more enthu siastic over the establishment of this school than I have ever known them to be over any similar enterprise. You have no idea how popular it is. I get handsome donations from members of all denominations and also from people of no denomination at all. But of course the Baptists are naturally more interest ed in the college than are other people, and they propose to make it for the girls what Wake Forest is for the boys of the State. “We want to have the buildings com pleted by September, 1896. and we ex pect to have at least $200,000 in sub scriptions by that time, so that we may offer the womanhood of the State such advantages as can come only from an endowed institution of high grade. “I have no hesitancy in saying that with this fund secured, we can well have at least 300 young women in attendance the first scholastic year. I have the best of reasons for making this prediction. “Not only the classics and higher mathematics and all the branches usually taught in female colleges will form a part of the curriculum, but there will be a regular business course and the gids will be instructed in such practical studies as will enable them to win for themselves a support in this busy world “Unlike what we call business men, we began the erection of the building now being constructed with very little money in the treasury, relying upon the Lord through his servants to furnish the money with which to carry on the work to completion. “The trustees have it in mind never to stop putting forth earnest efforts until all the bumdings are completed, and an < ndowment and a loan fund is secured. The amount to be secured is fixed iu the minds of many at $200,000, $75,000, in buildirgs and equipments, $25,000, as a 1 >an fm d, and SIOO,OOO, as an endow raent fuud. With this we can offer ad vantages to our young women that a very large number can and will accept.. Under most discouraging circumstances the people of Raleigh have not failed to show a just appreciation of such an institution, and are to be relied upon to continue to make sacrifices for its establishment. We have the site paid foi, and about *14,000 in subscriptions. “Very soon we are to pay our con tractor *6,000, and urge our friends to do what they can to tide us over the summer with the work. Rev. J. Hart well Edwards, well known in the State, has been secured to aid us in securing funds for the great work. He is now in the Eastern part of the State. This is i his first week’s work in the interest of j the college.” IN HONOR OF COL. HARRELL. Resolutions by the Teachers’ Assem bly on His Retirement as Secretary. Special to the News and Observer.
