/ THE RUTHERFORD RECORDER THE FUTURE OF RUTH ERFORD COLLEGE Alumni returning to the campus for the seventy-fifth anniversary will see evidences of growth which dimly forecast the Butherfoid College that is to be. In material progress at least, the $50,000.00 dormitory, known as (the Burke Memorial, is the out standing, visible evidence of prog ress for the year,—^while the gymna sium has come in for its share of im provement by being renovated on the outside by a wall of brick, and on the inside by a hardwood floor, basket ball goals, etc., which make it suitable for all forms of indoor sport. The new dormitory is fireproof through out—has baths, lavatories, eitc., on each floor, contains a kitchen and spa cious dining rooms dn the basement; and for comfort, convenience and util ity could feardly be surpassed by any dormitory, anywhere. The new dor mitory typifies the kind and quality of buildings which will be constructed for the larger uses of the college in the future. Burke (?ounty citizenry may compliment itself for thus estab lishing the standard by which the ■building for the new college will be carried on and maintained. The enthusiastic response to the Di amond Jubilee Campaign by Ruther- ■ford’s friends, alumni, and -loyal sup- ters "everywhere has given an op- listic outlook to those ,in charge of je college, and the future is bright ■with promise. In conjunction with Mr. Louis H. Asbury, architMt, of Charlotte, North Carolina, President Billups has worked out in blue-print, plans for one of the best-equipped Junior Colleges in the South. While moving cautiously and with a fine sense of the practical, yet he is keep ing in mind the modem need for first- rate equipment, and seeing with clear eyed vision into the needs, of the fu- _ ture. The Adipinistration. Building, coming in for its share of improve ment and renovation, will be the cen tre of the new unit of building, on either side of which will be the dor mitories, and extending to the front will be what is known as the quad rangle. Diagonally to the left of the Administration Building will be the Library, and facing the Library from the opposite side of the “Quad’' will be the new Science Hall. Dormitories, probably an Auditorium and other necessary buildings will complete the “Quad,” thus making a compact group of buildings located with a view to their convenience and utility, and . embodying in their outward appear ance a unifying sense of form and architectural design. Architecture of the Colonial type will be used throughout. The plot of ground be tween the buildings will be laid off into walkways,-r-beautiEul lawns and fountains; and\a flag pole will face the front of the Administration Build ing, and midway between it and the dormitory already constructed, will be placed the Main Dining Hall and Kitchen. -Trees will be set ■ out; shrubbery planted; and every effort will be made to convert the sjiacious camipus into a place of beauty and quiet dignity, where the student will have every encouragement' to do his. bes-t work. Not forgetting the truth . that a sound mind and a sound body make the well-rounded man, ample provision will be made for all out door forms of sport. The natural con tour of the campus to the west of the 'old athletic field is such that a “bowl” can be constructed -vwithout a great deal of cost. All these improve ments, let us hope, are not far-off realities for ijhe college, which, if judged by the work done in past years, is already deserving of them. For the past three years Rutherford has won the championship in base ball among the junior colleges of the State—^no mean honor, and one which reflects credit on the spirit of the student body. That it is tfie aim of the Adminis tration to keep the quality of work done apace with the material prog ress of the institution,- need hardly be said. In fact it is this insistence on the quality of its work which has been Rutherford’s chief glory,—and everywhere, is 'the world knows, the results speak for themselves. Can'it not be—and MAY it not be—that through the loyalty of its alumni and friends, both by their .moral and iinancial support, the college may find its need to a larger material equip ment answered ,an obligation already laid on the church by the large con tribution ti has made to the ministry and other work of our Methodism-— and thus come into the fulfillment of a larger and grander destiny. WITTY BITS Son — Father, what is a college bred ? Father—It is a four years’ loaf. Professor—^Why don’t you answer? Fres'hman — I did,- professor; I shfrok my head. Professor—But you don’t think I can hear your head rattle away up here, do you? She—Haven’t I always been fair to you ? He—^Yes, but I want you to be fair and warmer. Professor Johnson—Discuss hered ity and environment. Mr. Puett—Both are important in life. One is as important as the other. It is a fifty-fifty split -be tween them. Both are necessary for a' successful 'life. ’ RUTHERFORD’S CEN TRAL LOCATION Had the illustrious founder of Rutherford secured the services of a professional surveyor to assist him in locating the college near the axis of the territory served by the West ern North Carolina Conference, he could hardly have located the college more centrally and conveniently. Take a compass, place one point at Ruther ford College, describe a circle, and you will see how perfect it is in its loca tion, geographically, to serve the boys adn girls of our Conference. Add to this its situation on Highway .No. 10 and the Asheville^Salisbury division of the Southern Railroad, its superb climate and inspiring mountain sce nery, and what more perfect place could you find to build a great Junior College for our church? Has not “old Rutherford” received into the fibre of her being something of the solidity and hardiness of “Table Rock,” the wisdom and mellowed dignity of our i “Grandfather,” and the enduring calm and patience of the everlasting hills? Indestructible elements are these— received from, the silent teachers of God’s great creation. May we not find something of inspiration ii\ the jnajesty and heavenward sweep of the verdant hills about us, attune our souls to their beauty, and build here at Rutherford a college worthy of the mountaineous bulwarks which have so long shadowed -and protected her. DR. FRED M. DULA EYE SPECIALIST OPTOMErrRIST Upstairs over Presnell & Hogan’s Store Phone 309 SONS OF PROMISE (By Thomas Curtis Clark) In every meanest face I see A perfected humanity; All men, though brothers of the clod Bear promise of the sons of God. No human ore that does not hold A precioixs element of gold; No heart so blackened and debased • But has for Him some treasure chaste. With all of Obregon’s opponents dead ,the Mexican presidential prim ary appears to be over. Mary had a little skirt, So neat, so bright, so airy; It never shows, one speck of dirt, But it surely does show Mary. / Professor Holt — Mr. McKeithian, tell of the exit of the children of Is rael from Egypt. Mr. iMcKeithan—Professor, all I can say is that the children crossed the Hudson river and went to Canaan. Professor Goble (discussing the so cial problems)—It is perfectly obvi ous that petting parties 'are carried on right here on the campus. Miss Burrus—^Yes, sir. Professor; you would b esurprised to know all that goes on right here under my nose. Professor Jemigan calls Miss Bur- rus Atlas-^She always holds up the work. A Girl—Kiss me and I am, yours. Projfessor 'Goblei^i'jr’kiss you, but leave off all entanJrlJng alliances. Mr. Rockett—How much are yoiir ooms ? Night Clerk—Prom six do}lars up to twelve.
