First Impressions
Of Louisburg
(By Newby Crowell)
My first impression was that the
college was larger than I had
thought it. As I am very self con
scious I immediately noticed that
people were staring at me. The
individual is conscious of the whole.
Though everybody seemed very
friendly and helpful. Good old
Southern hospitality, suh.
I wondered if the college were
in need of money by the immen
sity of fines posted on the door.
Everyone at the dining table
kept their eyes on their plates,
that is all except the old boys who
were free with their glances. Food
was of good quality but of insuffi
cient amount.
I tried to size up the teachers. I
liked most of them instinctively but
some of them required further siz
ing up to like.
There seems to be no trouble in
getting rains up here. Don’t even
need to pray for them.
Three members of the Louisburg
football squad were forced to leave
school for an undetermined length
of time last week-end upon being
called out by the National Guard.
Sid Holder of the 113th Field
Artillery of Louisburg went with
his battery to the High Point area.
Clement and Early of the First
Battery 129th Infantry of Oxford
were moved to the Gastonia Area.
Upon entering school they had ap
plied for their discharges but were
called never-the-less. The strike
situation is rapidly clearing up, and
it is hoped that the boys will soon
be able to return to school. Hold

1786. Lator in 1802 the Louisburp
r'emale Seminary was chartered
and built. It was built on a twelve
acre lot directly opposite the
Franklin Academy.
The first president of the college
was A. H. Ray, a man of jreat in
telligence and capacity. Under hip
guidance the college expanf'ed and
was much respected in all sections.
At that time there were few col
leges devoted to the education of
Young Women. This college had
much to do with the spreading cj"
culture in the South..
