meeting of the Student Volunteer

ford college, October 12-14. The
other colleges represented were Caro
lina, Davidson, Flora McDonald,
G. C., Lenoir, Meredith, Mars Hill,
N. C. C. W., Oxford, Queens, and
Rutherfordton. The executive com
mittee and the chairman of the var
ious phases of work were also pres
ent.
The representatives of the differ
ent colleges controlled the sessions.
Mr. Perian Hudgius, of Davidson, act
ed as leader of the band leaders’
meetings. Different band problems
were discussed and many helpful sug
gestion received. The executive com
mittee and the band leaders held one
general meeting together. Plans for
the year were discussed.
“Did you know somebody at every
college in the State before you went
to Guilford?” This was the question
asked Miss Carleton when she return
ed from the council meeting and told
who represented the various colleges.
Special emphasis was put on get
ting acquainted with every represen
tative at this meeting. The local vol
unteers entertained the visitors at an
informal reception Friday evening.
“Zip Zap” was one of the many inter
esting games played. This enabled
the students to get acquainted with
each other and to connect the name
of the person with that of the college
represented. The parlors were ar
tistically decorated with autumn
leaves, and the reception was carried
out in a very unique manner.
Before the business meeting open
ed Saturday morning another “get
acquainted” game was played. After
this game the president gave an oral
test in order to see if the delegates
really knew who represented the dif-
frent colleges.
Dr. Carleton, a returned mission
ary from India, entertained the vol
unteers with his pictures, songs and
stories of Indian life.
Mr. Stauffer, the Educational Sec
retary of the Student Volunteer
movement, brought a message from
the headquarters in New York. He
emphasied the importance of each
college’s sending a delegation to the
Ninth International Convention of
the Student Volunteer movement,
which is to be held in Indianapolis,
December 28 to January 2. This con
vention comes only once in a student
generation. It is hoped, therefore,
that every college in North Carolina
will be represented. The Y. W. and
Y. M. C. A.’s are urged to send dele
gates who are not volunteers.
Some of the leading features of
this convention will be addresses,
discussion groups and forums, inter
collegiate and international friend
ships, and the enrichment of spiritual
life. Dr. Mott will give a spiritual
address. Dr. E. S. Woods, of Cam
bridge College, England, is also one
of the speakers. Some of the themes
which will be discussed are “Present
Day Social and Intellectual Unrest”,
and “International Problems and the
Chrisiian Way of Life.”
After Mr. Stauffeur put the con
vention before the students, they dis
cussed plans of securing finances for
the delegates.
