BARNESVILLE, GA„ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1902. GORDON INSTI TUTE OPENS. VERY INTERESTING OPENING EX ERCISES—A LARGE ATTEND ANCE FROM ALL PARTS OF THE STATE. The fall term of Gordon Insti tute, which is always a very im portant occasion to the people of Barnesville, opened Monday morn ing and was attended by various members of the board of trustees and city council and quite a num ber of citizens. The opening ex ercises were quite interesting. Rev. R. L. Bell, of McDonough, who preached at the Presbyterian church Sunday, read the scrip ture and offered prayer. Rev. C. W. Durden, in a very happy little speech, welcomed the pupils to Barnesville, speaking for the citizens and for the churches. Incidentally he stated that he had heard it said that Gordon Institute had as good a president now as the institution had ever had, if not just a little better and the state ment was applauded vigorously by pupils and visitors. He told tiie pupils that they should learn how to study that they might be happy in their work. His talk was bright and helpful and was appre ciated. President G. F. Oliphant made the announcements and a splendid little talk. He promised all the help possible from all the faculty. Pupils should not look upon the teachers as their enemies, but the teachers were friends and there to help the pupils. Prof. Oliphant stated that all the certificates had to be in by the end of the first month and this rule would be strictly enforced. The tuition in the music depart ment must be paid monthly. All of the faculty were present except Mrs. E. J. Nottingham, who is detained a few days in Macon. During her absence Miss Maynita Arnold will have charge of the music department. A LARGE ENROLLMENT. Prof. Oliphant says that the enrollment is quite satisfactory. There was 255 names enrolled Mon day, which is equally as good as the opening one year ago. He says the drouth in certain sections has hurt the school some and quite a number expected the opening to occur next Monday, instead of this week, which caused confusion. The enrollment, he thinks, will go beyond 800 this week, which will be largely increased next Monday and during next week. THE PRESENT FACULTY. The following is the present faculty, with the department in charge of each teacher: G. F. Oliphant, A. M., Presi dent (Graduate Student at Uni versity of Chicago), Natural and Moral Science. N. W.
