TH^GATfWAY OF OPPORTUNITY Louisburg College Exists For The Girls of Moderate Means It is the gateway of opportunity for the daughters of homes without surplus money. 4 per cent of the girls at Louisburg last year earned part of their way through college either by part time work while going to school or by summer work at home. One girl chopped cotton for two summers before she could come. Others worked in the dining room at school. A girl is measured by her fellow-students at Louisburg by her character, her personality and her ambition,? not only by her fine dresses or spending money. The girl voted the most attractive girl in her class last year was brought up in an orphanage and her tuition at College was paid by a Men's Bible Class. / Louisburg College is the gateway of ambition and opportunity for hundreds of girls of Franklin and nearby counties, who simply could not go elsewhere. It is Louisburg or nothing for them. We dare not slam this gateway shut in the faces of eager girls. The clang of the closing gate would echo in our ears forever. Shattered girlhood dreams would haont us. Let us swing the gates wide-open. 10-20-100 years from now, those who help keep the gates open, may point to the constant stream of girls entering into lives of character and usefulness through the gates of Louisburg College, and say "I helped to keep the gateway open. I believe in education and I put some of my money in it. It was the best thing I ever did in my life."
