Page 8 THE CHOWANIAN, CHOWAN COLLEGE, MURFREESBORO, N. C. Thursday, October 11, 1923. Dr. Weaver Outlines Plans For Greater Chowan College in Interview With Chowanian Reporter President Discusses Plans For Future of Insti tution “Come in,” said a masciil’ne vMce, TiS the Chowanian reporter, assigned to interview President Weaver knock ed timidly, pencil in hand, at his of fice door. On learning the business of his caller Dr. Weaver immediately laid aside his work, and with an insight into human nature, gained doubtlesn in the field of journalism—for Dr. Weaver has been a practical news paper man and has also taught jour nalism—he immediately put his inter viewer at her ease by starting the in terview himself. “My program for a Greater Chow an College calls for four things; 1. Publicity. 2. Standardization. 3. Character building; and 4. Play. The order is not so essential. I liave put publicity first, for I believe Chowan College needs to be adver tised and if properly known, like Em erson’s mouse'trap builder, will draw the world to its doors, even though it is located off a railway and away from the centers of population. To this end I am interested in the CHOWANIAN as a vehicle of pub- licity^ and I am planning to arganize a Chowan College Press Association as a news distributing agency for all college news. “Chowan College needs and must have also larger and more adequate equipment, including better library facilities, better laboratories, and an adequate endowment which will mean eventually better instruction and bet ter students. The Library Club and the proposals adopted by the board of trustees will inevitably bring this about. “The function of every college is character building. Chowan College will be great or small according to the quality of its finished product. We have a superior student body. With an able faculty and the proper atmos phere th« Chowan girl of the future must and undoubtedly will bring hon or upon the College which made her what she is. The noble women who have gone out from these walls in the past have furnished us an excel lent example to emulate. “Finally, our girls need the round- out of their perionalities, which con.os from organized play. No one ij t/u’y educated who does not know how to play. All wor’.; and no pL.y not only “makes Js^ci; a dull boy” bat Jacqueline an artificial and unsym pathetic girl. With our •wimming pool, our gymnasium, our soccor, basket ball, baseball and track ath letics, our girls should be physically well developed and sound and whole some in their character.” “What about student government”, j asked the reporter, suddenly realiz ing that the interview was about to be concluded without a single direct question on her part. i “I believe in it most heartily, also literary societies, and, in fact, in every sort of student activity which develops initiative and resourceful ness. The woman of the future needs these elements in a peculiar way and I know of no way in which she can acquire them more readily than in these student activities which call for their practical use every day. The carefully pondered list of questions had been so thoroughly cov ered in the interview without an ef fort on her part that the reporter quietly folded up her notebook and took her leave, relieved to find that her first interview bad been accom- lished so easily.

Her hat obscured his view at the theater, and in a kindly voice he' leaned forward and asked if it would be possible for her to remove it. A | stiffening of the head was his only, answer. j Then he rolled his overcoat and placed it on his seat, sat on it, and getting his hat from under the seat,! placed it on his head. j In a moment there was a cry of “Take it off!” ‘Take that hat off!”.
