Tatler . u z I X. fitfitorj) of rt)e jfresftman Class IN the annals of Winthrop College there are many dates which stand out prominentlybut to at least one hundred and eighty of the Winthrop students the twenty-secondday of September, 1911, stands pre-eminent. On that day the Freshmen of1911-12 entered for the first time the big gate on the back campus. At noon-tide on thatmemorable day the sun shone bright, especially in the city of Rock Hill; but as evemngdrew near dark gloomy clouds began to gather, and before the College bell had tolled themidnight hour tears began to fall in torrents.
