ROADS TO AND FROM THE
POSTOFFICE
If all roads lead to Rome surely
some lead from Rome. What’s the
Rome of Salem ? It is the place where
everybody, with one accord, meets—
“Where is the Post Office?” is the first
question asked by a new comer. The
boarders can’t forget that and the day
students won’t; for it is just next to
the Day Students’ Room in Main Hall.
From this important spot you can
find any place on the campus. Turn
ing to your left and going through a
narrow hallway, you come to a covered
board walk. Follow this walk until it
terminates and you will reach the
Science Building, in which meet the
Chemistry, Biology, and Physics
classes. Just above these class rooms
is the infirmary in which Miss Turner,
the nurse, is always ready to admin
ister first aid.
Now go back to the Post Office to
see if the mail has been “put up”—
then turn to your right, cross the back
porch, and climb the stairs at your left
(Don’t miss them), push open the door
very softly and you will be welcomed
into the library where you can do al
most anything you wish except make
a noise.
Every class room in Main Hall is
numbered. You can’t miss chapel if
you get in line and follow the crowd
into the Auditorium of Memorial Hall.
From the little elevator room at the
right of the stage, Ollie will take you
to the music practice room. Bible
classes are held in the Sunday School
room of the Home Moravian church,
the entrance of which is just opposite
Memorial Hall.
And then—
If there’s anything you want to know.
Just ask us, we can tell;
We’ve all been here for many a month
And know this place quite well.
SALEM OPENS THURSDAY WITH
REGULAR CHAPEL SERVICE
On Thursday morning, September
14th at 10 o’clock Salem College and
Salem Academy will open with usual
chapel exercise. On this occasion,
however, several added features will
lend interest to' the first meeting of
the student body for the year 1923-24.
It will be interesting to watch class
mates as they exchange hurried greet
ings. The enthusiasm will in no wise
wane, however, when the first strains
of the processional are sounded.
Down the left aisle, in Academic
array, will move the new Senior class;
just yesterady, it seems, they were
Juniors. Every one has progressed—
the Freshmen of last year, having ac
quired a bolder countenance, will have
forfeited their places in the Hall to
the incoming Freshman class, and the
old Sophomores will have claimed the
Junior benches as their own.
Every year a portion of the first
exercise is devoted to the reading, by
our Preisdent, of the greetings which
have been received from Alumnae of
many states. Salem girls are always
expressing their desire to stand with
us at “the Portal of the Opening
Year.”
Announcements concerning classes
and other matters of student interest
will be made. Dr. Rondthaler, Bishop
Rondthaler, Mr. Heath, and Dr. Ken
neth Pfohl will each say a few words
to the students.
After an hour together, the student
body will be dismissed as the bell m
Main Building rings for the first class,
since Salem prides herself on the fact
that real work begins the very first
day of school.

SUNDAY SERVICE AT THE
MORAVIAN CHURCH
Every Freshman rather dreads her
first Sunday at college and expects a
dreary, lonesome day when she will be
entirely engulfed by the homesickness
that has threatened her for the past
week. But our first Sunday at Salem
is a different sort of day. It begins
with the eleven o’clock service at the
Moravian Church, which the College
and Academy students attend en
masse, led by the Seniors in all the
glory of their newly acquired cap and
gown. Dean Shirley at the organ
renders a fitting prelude; Dr. Kenneth
Pfohl leads in the reading of the litany
and delivers a message particularly
helpful to the student entering upon a
year of school work; and every mem
ber of the Home congregation gives a
cordial welcome to those who are to
be in their midst for the next nine
months. It is a service full of inspira
tion for every one who attends.

OLD VETERANS VISIT SALEM--
COLLEGE CLAIMS INTEREST
On September 4-5 Winston-Salem
was hostess to the old soldiers of the
South. Thees old gentlemen, cheerful
and full of life in spite of the years
which have elapsed since they fought
in the battles of ’61-65, were enter
tained with luncheons, banquets, balls,
and parades, but there were very few
of them who failed to include a visit
to Salem College in their list of ac
tivities. Each one was interested in
the school in which some sister, cousin,
wife, or daughter had obtained her
education.
Many of the veterans were visiting
the College for the first time in fifty
years. One soldier asked for the old
register in order that he might find in
it the name of a relative who grad
uated from Salem long before 1800.
Those who did not visit Salem in per
son viewed it Wednesday from the
cars which passed in a surprisingly
long parade. Many were the saluta
tions which Salem, older than any of
her visitors received from these fine
old men—salutations of which she is
justly proud.
EDISON AND BURROUGHS.
Habits of life that are healthful for
one man may be disastrous to another.
This fact is well demonstrated by an
incident recited by John Burroughs in
the volume entitled “John Burroughs
Talks,” written by Clifton Johnson
and recently published by Houghton
Mifflin & Company. Burroughs, it
appears, was once warned by Edison
that he ate three time stoo much, and
was advised to subsist on a lighter
diet. Believing in the experimental
method, Burroughs edcided that the
only way to determine the value of
Edison’s advice was to test it in actual
practice. Accordingly, when the two
of them w’eer spending a few adys to
gether visiting some friends. Bur
roughs courageously informed Edison,
“While we’re here I’m going to keep
pace with you in this food business.”
The famous naturalist was as good
a shis word. When soup was served,
he stanchly refused to partake of any
thing so stimulating. When the fish
appeared on the table, he turned it
down with a polite “No, thank you.”
When the chicken was brought in, he
scrupulously confined himself to dip
ping some toast in the gravy; and
while he did permit himself the in
dulgence of some creamed potatoes,
he declined to eat anything so lux
urious as squash. Ice cream and
pudding, of course, were not to be
thought of—and as for the coffee, he
accorded it nothing more than a snifi’
of contempt.
Too much sunshine makes a desert,
but not enough makes arctic regions.
Statistics would show that every
rich uncle in the world has some baby
named after him.
