The Twig Memher of N. C. Collegiate Press Association Published Weekly by the Student Body of Meredith College we have to do without her. We can only say; “We have hut faith; we cannot know For knowledge is of things we see. And yet we trust it conies from thee A beam in darkness, let it grow.” PRES.

Since the Acorn is also to publish an edition sacred to her memory, we have not seen fit to go into the details of her life. It is merely an attempt on our part to try to express in a small way the love and re spect which wo bore for ..Miss Campbell. A e have tided to make this edition one that our subscribers will desire to store away ■with otlier mementoes, to be kejit and cherished. It is hard for us, just as it is for all the branches of student activity, to continue our regular wurk, wdthout the knowledge that we have iAIiss Campbell to encourage -us, and lend new and helping ideas. She was instrumental in the founding of The Twig, and gave us loyal support, getting the girls to realize just how much it meant to a col lege to have a weekly newspaper, all its owm. We are sure that she was proud of “the little Twig,” as she always termed it. Xow that examinations are over, and wu ari' settling down into the regular routine of work for the spring semester, each day makes us realize afresh our loss. We miss her Phdday morning chapel services, we miss her cheery smile as we passed her in the hall, we miss the individual advice she D'ave each one of us when we went to her wdth our troubles, we miss her eveiwwvhere. It seems cruel. AVe cannot understand why {Continued frotn page 1) an enlargement of the facilities for carrying on such lines of work, particularly in pro viding eidarged “Y” room capacity as wull as new equipment for it. It was her thought, however, that the stndi'iits needed a more direct sort of training in their religious life and with a view to meeting these require ments she organized several Baptist Y'oung People's Unions. Her mastery of the situa tion was well di'monstrated in her ability to maintain the jiolicy and usefulness of the Young AYoman’s Christian Association and at the same time add this other form of training. In !this wav she brought in a larger number of students for preparation for active Christian lifi*. Alorc than this, she encouragi'd voluntary study of the Bible and IMissioiis. Her third line' of responsibility was gen eral control over the routine life of the stu- (hnits.

She dis])lay('(l a rather unusual combination of hrmiK'Ss and gentleness in making her di'cisions and all of her dealings with the students were' characterized by the highest form of tact. Aliss Cani|)bell was wise in counsel to an unusual degree and had won derful poise in every emergency. Her cheer fulness and kindly spirit never forsook her, no matter what the trial was. There was a freedom from frigid dignity which gave full assurance to the students and made her ap proachable to them all. Xo officer in such a position could have been more accessible at all times than she was. One of the poli cies ado])ted from the very beginning was to “trust her girls” and depend upon them to keep faith with her. On Saturday morning, Jan. IT, 1922, we held services in memory of Aliss Campbell. These services will linger for a long time in the minds and hearts of all who partici- jiated. Her life will be an inspiration to all of us, and it will be true of her as was said of another, she “being dead, yet speaketh.” MEREDITH COLLEGE HOLDS A MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR DEAN {Continued from page 1) Hr.

He sjioke of hm- hue induence on the girls of Baylor College, Belton, Texas, where he held an evangelistic meeting with her as he latm- did at Aleredith. Thus he knew well her deep and keen interest in the lives of the girls and her love for them. He said, “Aliss Cani])bell is not truly dead. The day of her di'parture was Commence ment Day for her. She will live on in the lives of the young women who came under her helping and ujdifting influence.
