PROGRESS IN EDITING
ANNUAL FOR 1921-22
This one hundred and fiftieth year
of Salem’s life as an institution is be
ing marked by exceptionpil advances
in many ways, one of the most impor
tant of which is in the editing and
managing of Sights and Insights. We
all feel that this editing of our annual
is one of the most important of our
college activities and hence we have
chosen a competent and efficient staff
for 1921-22, a staff that is proving
most worthy of the trust bestowed
upon it.
It fully realizes that money is per
haps not as plentiful in these times as
it has been in the past and that it is
hard, for some of the students, at
least, to bear the heavy expenses that
the annual entails. The expenses are
being cut down in every possible way
and the attempt is being made to
publish it with the greatest possible
economy.
The greatest difficulty—and the
students realize this as well as the
staff—is that the Salem standard
must be upheld at any cost and with
this in view the expenses cannot be
very materially lessened. Although
Salem does not advertise, her annual
goes everywhere throughout the
country and the very best of every
thing must be put into it.
On Saturday night, September 24th,
the staff called a meeting of the stu
dent body to discuss the advisability
of having an annual for this year and,
if it should be decided to have one, to
hear the point of view of the student
and to discuss ways and means of
lessening the cost of publication as
well as the individual expenses. Dr.
Rondthaler, as faculty advisor to the
staff, ■was asked to attend and to in
form the student body of what the
staff was doing.
Most of the meeting, which lasted
nearly two hours, was spent in open
discussion, a large number of students,
including those from the Academy,
taking part. The following decisions
were made:
1. That an Annual should be put
out for 1921-22.
2. That the expenses of th* An
nual should ba as roasonabl* as
possible.
3. That there is no compuliion to
belong to any club but that those who
join must share expenses.
4. If any girl holds a responsible
position on any organization and is
not able to pay for her picture, that
an effort will be made to help her
with that expense if she speaks about
it to the head of the organization.
5. That a meeting is to be held at
intervals to explain to the student
body just where the money is going.
We are sure that with the progress
already made and with the grreater
co-operation of the student body—
greater because we are not kept
wholly ignorant of the workings of
the staff—Sights and Insights 1922
will be a success.

Physics Fraternity Formed.
A Physics fraternity has at last
been formed at Davidson by students
and faculty members who are espe
cially interested in the study of this
science. Its avowed purpose is to in
crease the scholarship of the students
and to throw them into a more inti
mate relationship with their profes
sors. A grade of 88 is required for
membership, which is limited to the
Junior and Senior classes. The club
goes under the name of Sigma Phi
Sigma with Davidson as Alpha chap
ter. The need of this organization has
long been felt on the campus and will
prove a greater inducement for better
work among the students.
Dr. Henry Louis Smith to Lecture.
Davidson College is unusually fortu
nate in having Dr. Henry Louis
Smith, a Davidson alumnus of na
tional prominence, to lecture next
Monday on the subject "Glimpses of
English Life.” Dr. Smith was sent
over to England last summer by the
State of Virginia and he has been re
quested by the lecture committee to
narrate some of his personal experi
ences of the summer. This talk
should be of vital interest to all as
Dr. Smith has a wonderful store of
information and facts about Elnglish
life and customs.
