Religious Activities
Brevard College was established
as a Christian institution. Not only
does it emphasize courses in relig
ious education, but special efforts
are made to build a college with a
Christian atmosphere.
Every student is permitted to at
tend any church in town he prefers.
On the campus Vesper services are
held each Sunday evening at six
o’clock. Also a mid-week service is
held separately by the boys and girls
on each Thursday evening at seven
o’clock. Participation in these var
ious student religious activities is
encouraged. There is a special in
vitation extended to all the new stu
dents of Brevard College to enter
into all of these activities.
Chapel Services
Each week day, except Saturday,
services are held in the chapel at 10:15
A. M. Attendance is required of all
students. It is worth ones while to
attend these services even if attend
ance was not required. It is the best
half-hour in the day. President Col-
trane will be in charge, and in his ab
sence Vice-President Trowbridge. From
time to time speakers and artists of
various types are brought to the plat
form, thereby the program being var
ied and enriched. (
Dr. C. C. Weaver, pastor of Centra
Methodist Church in Asheville, will be
the speaker at our first chapel service
Wednesday morning.
Next Tuesday morning, October 1st,
Rev. D. D. Holt, pastor of Wesley
Heights Methodist Church in Char
lotte, will be the speaker.

Out of Bounds
This does not mean that the stu
dents of Brevard College are out of
Dounds so far as conduct is concern
ed. Certainly it does not apply to the
faculty in that sense. It does mean
that the college has gone out of
rounds so far as the possibility of
lousing all the students on the cam
pus is concerned.
Last year some students, other
than those who lived at home or
with relatives, found it necessary to
seek living quarters off the cam
pus. This year the ruling is that al
students not living at home^or with
relatives must live in the dormitor
ies, or places under the supervision
of the college, or approved by it. In
order to accommodate the large
num ber of applicants the following
places have been secured:
Virginia Lodge just west of the
campus entrance will be used this
winter as a dormitory for young
women.' Miss Mira Binford will be
in charge of both the home and the
thirty-five girls. Meals are servec
for those living here and for those
rooming in Mr. Coltrane’s home.
Between twelve and fifteen other
young women will get room and
board at the home of Mrs. Sledge
on West Jordan Street opposite the
Post Office.
Ten of the young men will find
accommodations at the home of
Mrs. English just across the street
from the graded school. Last year
Mrs. English had several of the col
lege girls her in home on South Gas
ton Street.
Rooms for twenty-five boys will
provided by the Wallis House on
East Main Street. They will get
their meals at Mrs. Aiken’s. Mr. J.
A. Carlisle will be in charge of this
house.
Department or
Agriculture
Now Being Organized
V^ith t'"..') bc?'lnn’Ticj of the second
year of Brevard College the farm
and a department of agriculture are
in the process of being organized.
: During the summer ten boys have
worked all or part time on the farm
and grounds and have contributed
materially toward an organization
for efficient and scientific farming.
All work is to be done by deserving
students.
The announcement has recently
3een made that, due to a very
crowded schedule, no classes in ag
riculture will be given the first quar
ter. However, beginning with the
winter quarter a course dealing with
general principles and practices of
dairying will be given. A herd of
purebred Holstein-Friesian cows
have been purchased and will be
used both for laboratory study and
for the production of milk for the
boarding halls. In the spring quar
ter a course dealing with the cult
ural practices and general adapta
tion of some of the common fielc
crops will be given.
Several young men have already
indicated interest in studying agri
culture, and arrangements will be
made through the Dean’s Office for
all those interested to choose this
work as elective. All materials
covered will be in line with similar
agricultural courses given in North
Carolina State College and other in
stitutions of this type, and complete
credit may be transfered to those
schools.
It is pluck rather than luck that
brings success.^
Do You Want A
College Paper?
The headline of this article is
in the form of a question because it
is a question that the students of
Brevard College must answer. The
answer, whatever it may be, must
be given without delay.
Through the courtesy of the print
er who agreed to print two issues of
a college paper for just the advertis
ing revenue of these issues, we are
able to present you with this the
first paper upon your arrival for the
opening of the fall quarter. This
copy shows the size and make up of
the four page weekly paper. The
matter found in this issue had of
necessity to be for the most part an
nouncements. It is the intention of
those who have promoted the paper
to make it a genuine newspaper
covering all the college activities.
During the summer quarter the
temnorary staff whose nanies appear
in the first column of the second
page.was selected and arrangements
made to start the paper. If you vote
to continue the paper a permanent
staff will be chosen, and you will re
ceive the paper each Wednesday.
The only way to vote to have the
paper is to subscribe for it. It is
necessary to have over three hun
dred paid subscribers in order that
the paper may be continued. Only
two sources of revenue are open for
financing the paper: subscriptions
and advertising. The ‘ ‘Student Ac
tivities Fee” provides a subsidy for
the annual, but not for this paper.
Besides, the only way to get The
Clarion is to subscribe for it. Aft
er next week there will be no more
free copies. Your vote to continue
the paper should be given right a-
way so the staff and the printer will
know what to expect.
Without The Clarion you will not
be able to keep up with all the
things that go on in the college com
munity. Everyone who was here
realized the need of a paper for this
reason. Also see to it that a copy
of The Clarion goes to the home
folks each week. They are vitally
interested in everything that goes
on here. Subscribe for them the
same as for yourself.
The price of The Clarion from
September to June has been fixed
at one dollar, delivered by carrier;
or $1.25 if sent by mail. The differ
ence in price is due to a high postal
fee. Fill out the subscription blank
on page 2 and hand it in at once. It
will be a vote for the paper.
