Some History Of
Louisburg College
In 1909 the Board of Trustees
was given legal status by an act of
the Legislature. In 1911 the Davis
Building, was erected as a memo
rial to M. S. Davis one time pres
ident of the college.
In 1915 the college applied for
Junior College rating with the
General Board of Education. This
application was granted and Louis
burg College became one of the
leading Junior Colleges in the
South.
I For the entertainment of the
g-uests of home-coming- week a va
ried program was arranged for
Friday night. First, a program of
stunts was given in the “Little
Theatre.” To stimulate competi
tion^ two prizes, one for the boys
and one for the girls,, were offered.
Eight stunts were staged by differ
ent school organizations. The pro
gram was as follows:
Orchestra—Senior girls.
Quartet—Four boys.
Skit—Junior girls.
Organ Recital—Dramatic Club.
Negro Sketch—Kappa Delta Phi ‘
Sorority. ^
Imitation of Teachers—Sigma |
Iota Chi. j
Burlesque—Lambda Tau Zeta i
Fraternity. |
International Review — Kappa |
Epsilon Alpha Fraternity.
In 1924 the college felt a need At the close of this program
of expansion. A financial campaign which was enjoyed by all, there:
was carried on. Several wealthy
men were approached for contribu
tions. The citizens of Franklin
County contributed $150,000 for the
construction of the Franklin Coun
ty Building. Mr. R. H. Wright of
Durham gave money very liberally
toward the expansion of the col
lege. From 1921-1926 he gave
money and property to the sum of
$250,000. Some of this was used
for the construction of the Pattie j
Julia Wright Building in memory,
of his sister who was a former stu-'
dent of the college. In 1928 he
gave property valued at $150,000.
for the erection of an auditorium.''
Due to the “depression” this was
not built. In 1925 Mr. Benjamin
Duke gave a total of $150,0001
which was used for the payment
of debts and for endowment.

Dear Ma:—I ain’t never had nc
time to write afore this, ’cause
a society conimitlee has had me
doin’ things I ain’t never hard

To start with Ma, the very
first Friday nite we had a big
party^ and had to s‘an’ ’roun
and smile at the folks from
town, who come up here to drink
purnch out of little teeny glasi
mugs and see all the trimmin’i
and fixin’s in our rooms.
The next nite we had a tacky
party. I thought I’d get a prize
cause I shure can look onery
when I try, but for some reason
or other I didn’t come up to the
jedges expectations. Betcha life
I will nex’ time.
One Saturday nite we had a

rhings We
Cannot Print
A powerful football team repre
senting Louisburg College, swept
to a 45 to 0 victory over William
and Mary here on October 12, be
fore a large homecoming day
crowd.
The game was filled with thrills
throughout and at no time was the
outcome of the game in doubt, for
soon after the opening kickoft', the
Trojans began their work on the
opposing line and^ led by Weldon,
West and Davis, worked the ball to
the 12-yarJ line where Davis car
ried it across. Weldon then dropped
back into kick formation and lifted
the ball between the cross bars to
make the score 7 to 0. During the
remaining minutes of this quarter
the Trojans played deep in the
B.aves’ territory but were unable
to cross the final marker.

At the opening of the second
quai-ter the Braves had the ball in
their possession; tVie Trojana’ 45-
