ANNIVERSARY DAY RADIO ADDRESS OF
PRESIDENT EDGAR H. GOOLD
Sovoiity-oiu' yojirs on .Iiiiuuiry Kith. 18C8, St. Aujxiis-
tino’s oik'IicmI its doors for work of iictuul instruction. TherG
wore four students from North ('jirolina fjiitliered in one
snmll IniildinR. Today there are many ItuildiiiRS iiud our
students come from twenty-five states and from several
foreiRU eouutries. Our jiniduates and former students are
to be found in many states and many hinds. I wish that
all of them could be with us here today as we gather to
celelirat(> our anniversary. To all of them near and far
we s(>nil fjreetiiiRS and good wishes from their Alma JIater.
And w'o Ihiuk also today with jjratitude of our many
friends (of both races) who through the years have been
helpful in .supiwrtiuf; and developin!; our work here.
St. Aujiustine’s has sometimes been called the “Uig Family
School.” St. Aufiustine’s is a home and has not outsrown
the homeliko atmosphere wliich is essential for an t>duca-
tion that gives tiie best and most lasting results. Tart of
the “Mig Family” is gathered here today. The College
and The St. Agnes Hospital Training School and the Bishop
'I’uttle Training School are all represented here. But our
“Big Family” is larger than that. It includes those who
ar(^ away from home, all who have studied here or have
taught her(“. It includes the families of our students and
tlu! many frinids who are linked to us l),v ties of helpfulness
and synipadiy. We would have you all realize anew and
strengthen that common bond today.
We have heard today a St. Augustine’s College Song
and ('ollege Hymn composed both as to music and words
by one of our own graduates who i>assed away a few
months ago. 1 refer to William Augustine Perry of the
(.'lass of 1!)()2, a noted educathmal leader and a man of
genuine spiritual power. In the midst of his busy and
useful life he found time to enshrine in song and hynm
the ideals of Ills Ahna JIater. As years go on his influence
and presence will thus always be with us. May his example
inspire all of us to uphold the best traditions of St. Augus
tine’s wherev('r we may be.
We hope that all of our big family can visit the old home
from time to time. We would have representatives frmi
your families and conununities come here as members of our
student body. As members of one big family 1 again greet
you on behalf of the students and faculty and friends who
are gathered here at the Anniversary Celebration of St.
Augustine’s College.
"For seventy years she’s trhimphod
As upward in her llight
She's cllinbi'd to be a bcacon light
Her banner Blue and White.”

ALUMNI HEAD SPEAKS
The annual observance of the founding of St. Augustine’s
College should lie a signal for rededication of her sons and
daugliters to the ideals and i)uriK>ses for which the institu
tion was brought into being, and so the Alumni Association
salutes its Alma JIater on this her seventy-flrst birthday.
The graduates of any institution may serve that institu
tion in three definite ways: First, the most distinguished
alunnii, those who achieve i)eculiar distinction in the world
at large, attract the attention of the outside world, that
they are i>roducts of such a college. Secondly, the great
bulk of the alunuii, who are making their way in the world
in a more modest way. but who are adding a good bit to
society by dut.v well i>erformed, by their force of numbers
serve as ex]K)nents of the school they represent. The
alunnii classified in the third class are those graduates who
are interested enough in their school to organize for the
purpose of fostering the institution’s welfare. This class
may bo ealliHl the active alumni. St. Augustine’s College
boasts jKn'haps more than her share of the first class and
certainly has her full quota of the second class, but in
recent years there has been a grouping together of the
active alumni, commensurate with tlie total Alumni
strengtli. That is the objective of the Alumni Association
of St. Augustine's College, to bring about tlie conversion
of the entire Alumni strength into an active Alumni Asso
ciation. During the past live years our Association has
been endeavoring to build up a Students’ Loan Fund, and
I am here to rejKirt that we have been greatly encouraged
by the liberal res]K)nse of many members of the Associa
tion and friends. Our aim is to encourage deserving stu
dents who catch the spirit of St. Augustine's and who are
ready to carry to others the teachings that tliey received
here. As a means of keeping our records up to date, we
are asking that all graduates and former students write
their name and address on a i)ost card and mail it to
St. Augustine’s College, Kaleigh.
The other way that our Alumni Association may serve
the College is to stand behind the program of its President.
St. Augustine’s College is fortunate to have as its directing
head the Keverend IMgar H. Goold. of whom Dean Payne
of New York University, in his reixirt on St. Augustine’s
(.'ollege, wrote: ‘‘He has the confidence of tlie community,
the resiH>ct of the faculty and students. He is a man of
line ability and enthusiasm, and is inspired with the spirit
of service. He has the interest of the institution at heart,
and is untiring in his efforts to build it up.” On behalf
of the Alumni Asswiation, President (Joold, we pledge you
our uiuiualitied supiwrt.
Tiie Choral Club, under the direction of Prof. Charles K-
Berry, presented the traditional program of Cliristmas
music in the ('haiiel on the Sunday before Christmas. Pro
fessor Berry is planning to give Stainer’s Cnieifixion sonic
time within the Lenten season. The Dramatic Club pre
sented a fine play to inaugurate the Christmas season’s
activities. The dramatic activities are under the direction
of Mrs. Julia B. Delany.
Social Service Sunday, the third Sunday after Kpiphany-
was observed with a corjiorate Communion of the Bishoi'
Tuttle School and others i>articularly interested in Chris
tian Social Service. Miss Vera (iang, director of social
work training at Tuttle, made the address at the ll:-'!*)
chaiK'l .service. Miss (Jang is a graduate of St. Augustine'!^
(I!).'!")), the Bishoi) Tuttle School (l!).'{(i). and Boston Uni
