The above cuts show the proposed
group of the buildings and the general
plan. The building in the foreground
is West Dormitory. It consists of
three wings, each with its own en
trance and halls. A large and com
fortable lobby with fireplaces occupies
a portion of the first floor. It is to be
made of brick with red tile roof, and
is to have modem conveniences.
The landscape plan indicates clearly
the proposed general layout with par
ticular reference to the three new
buildings. The grounds are . entered
by the West Gate archway, completed
some years ago, and are laid out in
formal flower gardens of typical col
onial style. Garden walks, hedge-bor
dered paths, old fashioned flowers,
fountains and sun dials and seats, will
lend rare charm to this beautiful
PROPOSED NEW BUILDINGS

West Dormitory Will Be the First
Much interest has been evidenced in
the new buildings, the first of which

House. These buildings were made
possible by the united efforts of the

ANNUAL MAY FETE
A COMPLETE SUCCESS
Unsurpassed in Beauty and Originality
Large Crowd Gathers to Witness
Festival,
The second annual May Festival
which was held on the upper campus
of Salem College was a great success
in spite of the cool weather. The
large crowd of spectators enjoyed the
occasion immensely. This is one event
of the year in which children alone
take part, and, coming at this par
ticular season is most popular with all
child lovers. All of the children from
the tiny ones two and three years of
age to larger boys and girls of eleven
and twelve were most attractive in
their charming and original costumes.
The following interesting program
was carried out:
1.
Parade.
2.
Crowning of the Queen of the
May.
3.
Rosebud Dance—Three little
girls.
4.
Scene from Cinderella.

COLLEGE JOURNAUSM MAKES
ANOTHER STEP FORWARD
Southern Inter-CoIIegiate Newspaper
Association Formed.
Several months ago the “Collegian”
of Richmond University fostered the
idea of a Southern Inter-Collegiate
Newspaper Association. Early in the
spring it invited the leading collages
in the South to send two delegates
from the newspaper staif to represent
their paper at the organization meet
ing of this association, April 22-23.
This was a bright idea and the colleges
immediately accepted.
The first meeting of the Association
was called to order at 10 o'clock on
Friday morning, April 22nd, and Mr.
Charles F. Leek, editor-in-chief of the
Richmond University “Collegian” and
the man who was the real motivating
force in bringing together newspaper
delegates from all over the South, was
elected temporary chairman. Mr.
Winn of V. P. I. was elected clerk of
the convention.

are entirely in harmony with the ex
isting buildings.
Both the landscape architect and the
building architect have caught the
