Rntherfurd College opened its
fifth year with an enrollment of
160 pupils. This is the best
opening the school ever had.
Students are still coming in—
almost every train brings s stu
dent or two. Last year at this
time there were enrolled 138.
showing an increase of 22 pupils.
This school has had a some
what remarkable growth'during
the past fonryears. Just a word
as to its history. Fonr years
ago there came to Rutherford
College four bright, well equipp
ed young men to open up a
school for the training of young
, men and the young women of
Western North Carolina. The
names of these you ng men were:
Dr.C.C. Weaver. A. C Reynolds,
Wagstafi, and Crawford. When
they came npon the historic
grounds of Rathcrford College
they found the campus grown
up m weeds, the walks unkept,
and the buildings uncared for.
They set themselves to the
arduous task of establishing an
institution of learning upon
(kw satiaa n( ika #.1/1 D >•»
College. They toiled ceaslessly
under many things that gave
discouragement. At the end ol
the first year their School num
bered 104. The second yeer the
enrollment wis ran un to >63.
At the close of the third year of
the school there were 191. Last
year 280 students matriculated
daring the year. He who tons
can read the rapid growth of the
school. In the incredible short
period of four yean this school
baa grown from 104 students to
280. The prospects for this
year are far better than at any
praviona time. It U confidently
expected that the number will
reach 300 this year. Two
changes have been made in the
personnel of the faculty. Miss
Bompass, a graduate of Greens
boro Female College and a former
teacher in that institution, has
. charge of the primary work.
Mias Nannie Richardson of
Greensboro Female College
comes highly rrcomended to
take charge of the mask depart
