By R. C. Lawrence Floral College (chartered 1840) was the oldest woman’s college In North Carolina authorized to confer degrees. Her daughter, Flora Mac donald College, has for many years been an inspiration to the Cape Fear section, whose people have watched with pride as it developed into a fully accredited “A" grade institu, tion. While a denominational school, un der Presbyterian auspices, it has mo thered hundreds of Methodists, Bap tists. and other sccts, as well as Presbyterians, and her culture knows no limitation of creed save the Chris tian faith. If there be a few who think the denominational college out moded, I can but reply that a Chris tian State must have distinctively Christian schools.

It was Skinner who remounted' after a fall here and went on to win the event. Skinner was again thrown last Saturday after leading during the early stages of the three and one- half mile event on the F. Ambrose Clark estate near Westbury.

Hit During Depression The cau.se of the existing indebt edness is simple. The denominational college does not have recourse upon the State treasury to pay an oper ating deficit. Flora Macdonald has no income save that derived from its scMnt tuition fees or the benefactions of its friends. During the worst years of the depression its revenues dwin dled until the present debt resulted, despite good management and rigid economy. While the debt has not in creased during the past several years, revenues have not been sufficient to substantially reduce or pay it. Yet it MUST be paid. Moreover, in come frorti its endowment has dimin ished. Years ago safe Investments pie must first give before seeking benefactions from afar. We must “begin at Jerusalem.” Modem and Efficient Upon the Board of Trustees of Flora Macdonald are some of the best business men of this section- They have earnestly and prayerfully canvassed the situation and have concluded that $350,000.00 is the minimum that will enable the college to pay Its debt and furnish sufficient All colleges need money.
