FLORA MACDONALD MONUMENT IN SKYE (From Oban Times, Argyllshire County, Scotland ) Twenty-five dollars were raised during last month by the students of Flora Mac donald College, Red Springs, North Caro lina, U. S. A., and ordered to be sent to Mr. D. A. Macdonald, Chairman, Kil mu'r Parish Council. Isle of Skye, the money to go toward defraying the ex pense of replacing the marble slab af fixed to Flora Macdonald 's monument in Kilmuir Churchyard, Skye, wrenched from its fastenings during a recent storm. President C. G. Vardell, after telling the story of the famous Scottish heroine to the students assembled for chapel service, presented the appeal which met with an immediate 100 per cent response. Fi oka Macdonald College Mr. R. H. Rice, the Executive Officer of the College, has sent us a booklet in which in interesting description is given of the , history of the Institution. The publication, which is entitled "An After math of History." is a reprint of an article appearing in ' ' World 's Work, ' ' and -written by Mr. Ralph W. Page. Under the name of the Southern Pres byterian College and Conservatory of Music, rhe Institution had its beginnings in 1896, the founder being the Rev. C. G. Vardell, D. D., now President of the College. The town of Red Springs, it is pointed out, is the very heart of the Flora Macdonald settlement. It is not generally known that this remarkable woman lived four eventful years of her life at Killegray, an estate owned by her husband Allen on the waters of Mountain Creek, not far from Fayette ville, and led the Clans in their last great gathering during the American Revolution. From that day to this, says the writer, the sons and daughters of these Highland tribes, scattered over the Union and Canada, taking high places in business and government, had held Fayetteville as their headquarters, and the traditions and memories of Flora, Macdonald as their ideal. One hun dred and twenty-six years after their heroine had departed and their clay mores sheathed for ever, the spirit of their fathers had called them together again, to revive the old spirit. They determined to build an everlasting monu ment to their great heroine, and estab lish a common purpose and ideal to rally round and fight for. The leading mem bers of all the clans and societies in the country heralding from the Highlands had joined the movement, which was in augurated by Dr. James A. Macdonald of Toronto at a gathering of the clans at the old headquarters in Fayetteville in May, 1914, when Dr. Vardell 's College at Red Springs was named the Flora Macdonald College, and an endowment of $1,000,000 was started. The College- buildings are magnificent. There is a broad verandah and a classic entrance, a vestibule, reception room and library beautifully finished in native pine, a three-story rotunda, comfortable quarters for 250 girls, about 25 private music rooms with a piano in each, a large gymnasium, complete laboratories for chemistry and physics, a separate dining room and kitchen for the study of cook ing, a department equipped to teach dressmaking and designing, a steam laundry and a studio, besides executive offices. Eighty per cent of the students are of Scottish ancestry. The work of the Col lege continues to prosper, but it requires additional funds. Last year 175 girls were refused admission on account of lack of room. It is stated that the College can absorb and worthily use $250,000 for buildings and equipment and educa tional developments, and that there should be at least $500,00 for endowment. The story of this wonderfully success ful Institution has been placed in a beau tiful setting, the booklet being finely printed and beautifully illustrated. In the centre of the front cover is a. picture of Flora Macdonald. SILVER FOILS CONTEST Won by Mrs. C. S.
