Greater Louisburg College Campaign
Launched This Week
Objective: $500,000 Franklin County Quota: $150,000
Most Important Step in History of Our College
NORTH CAROLINA DEMANDS BETTER COLLEGES
Practically every college iu the State of North Carolina has been obliged in the
past five years to decide between growing or going out of business." There is a new
educational hunger among our people which demands the very best training for our
sons and daughters. Governor Aycock said, "Universal education of the white chil
dren of North Carolina will send us forward with a bound iir the race with the world.
Life is a mighty combat and the people who go into it best equipped will be sure to
win." North Carolina has decided to give its sons and daughters the BEST equip
ment and, has served notice on its colleges to measure up.
ONWARD LOUISBURG COLLEGE!
Louisburg College must also receive funds from its friends or it will .be unable
to meet the new standards. Two additional dormitories, class rooms, laboratories, a
library, gymnasium and enlarged endowment must be provided in order that the Col
lege can keep its educational rating. A total of $500,000 is needed.
An honorable history- of 122 years of service stands back of Louisburg College in
fts request that it be allowed to live. ?,??.. . .
OUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET
6000 daughters of Franklin County have been educated at this college in the past.
GROW OR GO!
The College Association of North Caro
lina has adopted new standards of equip
ment, instruction, permanent endowment
funds, etc., etc., which each college must
reach. Any college which fails to meas
ure up to these standards will lose its ac
credited rating in the Association. That
means it will soon lose its students and be
forced to close its doors.
Since this ruling practically every col
lege in the State has been busy raising
funds to enable it to measure up.
NORTH CAROLINA GENEROSITY AND
VISION ARE PROVING EQUAL
TO THE NEEDS.
Meredith College has bought land out
side of Raleigh and has adopted a $3,000,
000 expansion program. St. Mary's Col
lege, the Episcopal School at Raleigh, has
raised funds to meet the new standards.
Queen's College, Charlotte, Flora MacDon
ald College, Red Springs, and many other
girls colleges of the State have made suc
cessful appeals for mney to grow and ad
vance.
The University of Xorth Carolina has
been giyen $S ,000,000 to spend. Trinity is
planning to spend millions. Elon, Wake
Forest, Davidson, Lenoir, and most of the
rest have secured expansion funds from
men and women of vision.
For the culture and character and happi
ness which has resulted from their educa
tion Franklin County owes Lotusburg Col
lege-untold millions in humanity's coin.
The people of Louisburg and Franklin
County are noted throughout the State for
their character, culture and prosperity.
The Greater Louisburg College will be a
still richer asset to this community. We
can, if we will, lay the foundations right
here in Louisburg for the great Junior Col
lege of the South.
BE GENEROUS TO OUR COLLEGE!
During the last week of June, the people
of Franklin County will be asked to sub
scribe $150,000 (payable at convenience
during~flie next three years) to the expan
sion fund of Louisburg College.
If this full amount is subscribed in
Franklin County it is believed that the
Methodists of the Conference will subscribe
the balance required at once.
Louisburg and Franklin County will de
cide the future of Louisburg College.
Will YOU do your full share?

THE TASK OF TRAINING YOUTH
NEVER ENDS.
"I nm glad to note that you are making plans to
build Louisburg College into that greater institution
which it can and sl)9uld be.
Colleges such as yours furnish the finest opportunity
for usefulness to the coming generations, If one may
make rnv distinction, it may truthfully be said that the
education of a "girl means more than that of a boy.
The task of training the youth of the land neVer ends.
It continues to grow from year to year. Sometimes
we mar falter or grow wearied in its performance, but
the call of the future must renew our spirits and give
us new energy to go on.
To .iccomplish what you have in mind sacrifices will
be needed, but there are none out of which the worker
will receive greater dividends or build up a greater
reservoir of happiness as in the future he looks back fc>
his services to humanity.
I am wishing you all success in your efforts and hop
ing that your plans for the College will grow into full
fruiti n "

A WIDE flpEN FIELD OF
USEFULNESS
"I believe that there is a place in North
Carolina for such an institution as Louis
burg College. It has behind it a long and
honorable history ^ and a wide open field of
present usefulness. I sincerely hope that
a way may be found by which the College
can be financially strengthened so that its
usefulness and influence may be extended
and made permanent."
W. P. FEW,
President Trinity College.
A GREAT FACTOR FOR GOOD
"The expansion campaign for Louisburg
College is a very laudable undertaking.
Your school has been a great factor for
good in North Carolina. The enviable
reputation which it has among colleges of
the State should be very helpful to you in
your campaign. I heartily endorse your
efforts in this matter, and wish you every
success."
CHARLES L. ABERNETHY,
Member of ^Congress of the TJ, S. A.
NO BETTER SCHOOL IN THE STATE.
"I linve just received your letter with pamphlet con
cerning your School at Louisburg. I have read this
pamphlet with much interest. I saw quite a lot of yout t
institution while holding Court at Louisburg aYid I was
very much impressed with the high class of work that
you are doing.
The best investment that any parent can make is in
the ed loation of children; and if such parent has no
children, then to aid in the education of those who are
unable to educate themselves. It is a patriotic duty
that every citizen owes to the State to see
that every child born within the commonwealth is
equipped with a liberal education.
I am satisfied that there is no better school in
the Stute than LOUISBURG COLLEGE, and its pa
trons are fortunate in having at its head a man ef your
ackno wledged ability and character. I shall be glad
to speak a good word for you wherever I go."

HAS RENDERED TINE SERVICE TO WOMAN- .
HOOD OF NORTH CAROLINA
"I am very glad indeed to know that Louisburg Col
lego lias in mind definite plans for the enlargement of
its sen' ice. It lias tot- so many years been rendering
such fine service to thfe woman 1io<k1 of North Caroling
that any one who knows anything of its record must, 1
think, feel the greatest desire that its plans may he fulf
ly carried out. With the passion for education whicn
--now oxiHta among the youth of hoth sexes in North Can
olina we are a)t, I think, coming to realize that we must
enlarge outranking about all our worthy institutions
for Jiighet education, whatever their source of support. 1
The University is heartily interested in and wishes
every success to your efforts." >

HOLDS A HIGH PLAGE
"I have been fortunate enough to.know rather inti
mately the excellent work of Louisburg College in the
past quarter of a century. Better than that: X have
had association with many of the women upon whom
rt put its impress. The product stands approved.
Wherever you find a girl educated at Louisburg Col
lege, you find a woman endowed with the virtues which
make her the fit type of North Carolina woman.
1$ is a matter of State congratulation tha friends of
this old institution, old in age and tradition and young
in "service, are planning large things for its expansion.
By its history, by its environment, by its equipment it
holds a high place in North Carolina colleges and I feel
that itaoney invested there will bring a dividend larger
and larger as the years go by."
