one hundred thousand dollars to the South Carolina "for the purpose of establishing and endowing a

Situation and Sarroanding1

ATJON.-No better climate can be found anywhere for ~ork th~n that of the high Piedmont region of

Carolina. It ts salubrious and bracing, and stimulates and body to do their best.

TB.-There is perhaps no healthier place in the outh Spartanb~rg. The Wofford College campus, upon which

lludents live, is a high, well drained hill, removed from dast and smoke and noise of the city. Students thus have

RaCh all the conveniences of the city, together with the benefits of the country. Besides these natural sur­, so conducive to health, oversight is taken, as far

iblc, of the e:-rercise and sports of students. A thor­equipped Gymnasium, under the care of a competent , has been fo~nd ~f. inestimable value, not only in pre­health, but m a1dmg the growing bodie of young

lo a state of vigorous natural development.

AND INTELLECTUAL SURROUNDING .-Spartanburg ~ excellent social and intellectual atmosphere. The

•tertainments-entertainments that make for the highest t-are constantly within reach of the student. Music . musicians, lectures by men of world-wide reputa­

radings by authors who are makino- the literature of the are all means of general culture that help to educate in

sense the students of Wofford.

An understanding of the principles of rithmetic, thorough know ledge of Algebra through Quadratic Eq Progre ion , Properties of erie , the Binomial Th Logarithms, and of Plane Geometry are required for sion into the Freshman Class.

The Freshmen begin the year with the study of olid etry, the underlying principles being firmly grounded means of written exercises and the solution of original !ems. This subject completed, they take up Plane and Trigonometry and select topics in higher Algebra.

The ophomore year is devoted to the study of Conic tion , Higher Plane Curve , and Solid Analytic with some work in higher Algebra.

The Juniors study Differential and Integral Calculus. Astronomy is studied during the first half of the

year. The latter half of the year is given to a rapid Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry.
