(Continued History)
Our College
(Miss Lula May Stipe)
The college like an individual
has characteristics of its .own—a
character by which it is judged.
Like an individual it is moulded by
ideals. The ideal of Louisburg
College is the Christian education
of young men and young women.
Many factors help' to determine
this ideal. Among them are the
teaching in the class room, the
personal influence of professors,
and the traditions of the college
itself.
But in the last analysis the stu
dents make up the college. Col
lege ideals become actual only to
the extent that they are embodied
in the life of the student body.
In order to make our college what
■we want it to be all of us must
work together. Old student, give
of your experience and kindness!
New students, respond with en
thusiasm and appreciation!
I can wish for nothing greater
than that Louisburg College, whilst
alert and pushing on into new at-

asking almost every body 1

North Carolina. She graduated
from the Goldsboro High School
in 1932 and this is her third
