MRS. LINDSAY PATTERSON
ADDRESSED STUDENTS
College Girls Learn of Rtf>p3nsibili-
ties Facing Nation—Mrs. Patterson,
Congressional Nominee, Speaks of
Experiences Abroad, In the Court of
Roumania.
The entire faculty and student body
awaited with interest what Dr. Rond-
thaler had in store for them this week
for the third Wednestlay morning
chapel service.
The preliminary exercises and an
nouncements were quickly dispatched.
Miss Duncan reported the success ot
the McDowell Club in its “whirlwind"
campaign for membersliip, the number
enrolled at present being 183. The
Junior class, resident faculty and the
eleventli grade, whose application for
admission had been accepted, an
nounced themselves as 100 per cent
members. The campaign is to be pro
longed a few days, as there are still
some who have not been given tho op
portunity to join. It is hoped that the
membership will reach at least two
hundred.
Margaret Russell stated that, at the
first fire drill last Thursday the
Clewell Building- was vacatcd in two
minutes and Main Hall and the
Academy Building in one minute and
forty-five seconds.
Dr. Rondthaler then announced Mrs.
Lindsay Pattexson of Winston-Salem,
in whom, he said, we would all be in
terested because she is a Salem alumna
and the first Southern woman candi
date for Congress. Mrs. Patterson,
who is an interesting and effective
speaker, gave a brief resume of polit
ical conditions in the Uniteid States and
of the issues before the American peo
ple today. She mentioned particularly
taxation, tariff, and the Bonus bill.
She then spoke of our international
problems stressing particularly un
settled conditions in Asia, and the
danger of another world war, Asia,
Europe, and ourselves being the par
ticipants, should we send troops to de
fend the Armenians. Mrs. Patterson
has had excellent opportunities to
study European conditions in heir re
cent trip to the continent for that pur
pose, and she states that the European
countries are in a state of constant
fear over the rise of Asia. She spoke
of the necessity that our young people
should study world conditions and fit
themselves for the work of solving the
problems of World Peace. It is to
America that the European countries
are turning for aid and encourage
ment. She told a touching story of
iht' tribute of a little Macedonian boy
to the American flag.
The remainder of her time was
spent in giving interesting an amus
ing anecdotes of her visit to the Rou
manian court. Mrs. Patterson spent
several days in the summer palace in
Carpathian mountains and she says
that queens are unsurpassed in their
hospitality. She was made to feel as
though she were a princess herself and
even seatetl next to the prince at a
very formal dinner given during her
stay. The queen herself is a skillful
diplomat and it was from her that
Mrs. Patterson learned much of the in
ternal conditions in Europe.
We hope tliat we may have Mrs.
Patterson speak to us again. Dr.
Rondthaler gave voice to the general
feeling when he told her that we voted
unanimously in her favor.

SENIORS INVITE THEIR SOPHO
MORE SISTERS TO MID-NIGHT
PARTY MINUS MISTERS.
On Monday night at 9:45, the Soplis
cast away their erstwhile bold and
bloody demeanor at an invitation from
their Senior sisters to join them at an
informal party in the recreation room.
As the (lay pupils of both classes
had been guest of the college at din
ner, tliere was a 100 per cent amount
of jollity present when the hall bells
rang out their cheerful
“Study Hall’s Up!”
As an orchestra—equal only to
Weidermeyer—manufacturetl pep in
one comer, dancing was the main fca-
ture of the cfvcning. Sandwiches,
punch, and other accessories were
served, always with the admonition to
“go and get some more.”
Considering the importance of the
occasion, the lights remained burning
until it was time for Cinderella to re
turn to her rags.

She is going to be a special student in

a junior and take a regular course

PROPERTY PRESENTED
TO DAVENPORT
Citizens of Lenoir Present College
With Valuable Jones Property.
(By Ethel Davis.)
The sixty-seventh year of Daven
port College was mai-ked by the gift
of a valuable piece of property, en
larging the campus. This gift was a
magnificent one-acre plot of ground
facing College avenue and immediate
ly adjoining tlie present campus. This
plot, formerly belonging to Capt. Ed
mund Jones, was bought and presented
to Davenport by the citizens of Lenoir.
Even though the movement of this
presentation had its beginning in the
great Educational Campaign of the
Methodist Church during the latter
part of the year 1921, the gift was not
made by Methodists alone, but by the
Lenoir citizens of all denominations.
p]mbraced in this purchase is a two-
stoiy ten-room house fitted for a
dwelling. Not only is the land a val
uable addition, but the house will
ford ample room for music studios,
and also for the home of the music
director.
Immediately after the Jones house
was vacated the former owner, Mrs.
Sarah Davenport Dey, presented to the
college librai-y a valuable collection of
books from the private library of her
fathetr, the late Capt. Edmund Jones.
This addition to the library, as well
as the property which has been pre
sented by the Lenoir citizens, proves
to us that Lenoir is deeply interested
in the college, and these additions will
add greatly to the success of Daven
port,
The Land of Freshman in Complete
Subjection.”
Under the leadership of brave
Captain Leight, they of the resolute
heart and sturdy courage for three
days held in complete submission all
the inhabitants of the Land of the
Freshnnen. In solemn council, on the
second day of October, each unfortu
nate subject answered the roll call
with the humble words, “your ser
vant”, and the next day thereafter
they donned thle green helmet, em
blem of obedience to the commands of
their conquerors. In order that their
Ignorance and “freshness” might be
corrected to a degree, the wise rulers
gave instruction in the arts which
seemed heiretofore unknown and un-
ilreamed of. It was necessary that
good manners be learned and prac
ticed and they that were inexperi
enced learned to salute with proper
respect the ones who held them in
bondage and demanded their alle-
giaoca
Their tongues wiere silent and tlieir
lips moved not. In all things did they
acknowledge the superiority of their
captors. After the evening food was
given them they gathered under the
spray of the fountain and proclaimed
loudly the honor and reverence due the
clan which ruled them; and were their
mutinous refusals, there was accorded
the ofi'ender punishment in due form.
ElFiciency is increasing in the art of
taking water with a spoon and using
the knife as sole implement of dissec
tion, and the faces of many weni be
held for the first time in their natural
form, for cosmetics were deemed un
suited to the use of a conquered people.
In the Hall of Recreation on the
second day of bondage there was
mirth and laughter in the hearts of all
the clans who beheld the weird antics
of the Freshmen, who, in strict ac
cordance with such rules as had been
i’.ivcn them, provided entertainment
for the leisure hours of the Sopho
mores. Neighboring tnbes gathered
to witness the spectacle—they of the
Island of Faculty, they of the Valley
of Juniors, and the wise dwellers of
the Heights of Senior.
In three days the Sophomores have
accomplished a great purpose. They
have made of an impudient, unskilled
people, a modest, humble, submissive
tribe. They have developed culture
and education among them, and they
commend them now to those, who dw«ll
in the World of College as a race
\7orthy of respect and friendisJiip.
Thus do the Sophs perform their deeds
of valor—quickly and efficiently,
acknowledging not defeat in the most
difficult conquest.
