Excerpt from the letter of a graduate now attending another institution. “ is all right. I like it fine; but it can not ever mean to me what dear old St. Augus does. The family spirit, the personal understan - ing, and sympathetic attitude that exist t ere certainly not found in a big school like - I am so glad that I am from St. Augustine s. Each year St. Augustine’s celebrates Epiphany with a special service held Epiphany night and called “The Feast of Lights.” There is a beautiful electric star illuminating the chapel from over the altar. There is also a single candle burning on the altar from which tapers are lighted and supplied to the whole congregation at the close of the service in which are featured the wise men and in which a special offering is taken by them for world wide missions. Hundreds of people from the community attend this service. At the close of the seiwice all march out across the campus with lighted tapers. This year as the line of girls reached one of their dormitories they quietly and spontaneously formed themselves into a brightly burning living cross. This was their own idea and seemed to them a fit ting expression of the spirit of the service. LIBRARY NOTES The circulation record for the month of January exceeded that of any previous month in the history of the library. Through the generosity of Miss Sarah Cheshire, the library received a gift of books from the late Bishop Cheshire’s library; thirty-four books were added to our collection and about thirty more are to be transferred to the new reception room in the Lyman Building as a nucleus for a library which the librarian is assembling for that place. We are particularly glad to have these books to remind us of Bishop Cheshire who was our Trustee for many years. Miss Cheshire gave us also a framed copy of Hofmann’s “Christ and the Rich Young Ruler” and a small statue of Venus of Milo. We hope other friends will help us add to our collection. The library is assembling pictures and literature of early days at St. Augustine’s. Exhibits of these pictures, w'hich show rather startling contrasts to present conditions, never fail to interest the stu dents and they are tangible proof of the progress which has been made.” P. A. S. Xoith Carolina Ncgio College Conference (Continued from Page 1) The afternoon session was devoted almost wholly to the discussion of the ISTegro College and Society from the angle of what society expects from the colleges. Mr. C. C. Spaulding, presi dent of the N. C. Mutual Life Insurance Com pany and Mr. M. Hugh Thompson, attorney-at- law, were the principal speakers. President Wm.
