EDITORIAL COMMENT.
There’s nothing in Christmas Spirit
that means shirk your work, so do
your best to the last day.
tion, and took its place among the
leaders in educational institutions in
the United States.
In referring to this gratifying out
come of the association’s considera
tion, Dr. Rondthaler asserted that
much of the credit was due to Win
ston-Salem. In the development of
the institution Winston-Salem had had
a notable share. No community ever
had been more loyal and generous in
its support than this city. Founded in
1772, Salem College has gone for
ward steadily in its activities and in
the scope of its work, not a single
scheduled day having been missed
smce its establishment. While Salem
College is denominational in its
foundation and traditions, it is strictly
inter-denominational in all its life
work.
ATHLETIC POINTS.
Very often practical situations arise
that call for amendments to any con
stitution. The Athletic Association
has found tiiat an amendment con
cerning the point system is in order.
The problem is this: six points are
allowed a winning team, three points
to the running up team, and two points
to the class team; in case only two
teams are playing, is it fair that toe
victors get six points while the losing
team, which is a runner-up in the true
sense of the word, gets only two
points. On the other hand, when three
games are played, the ultimate losers
winning the first or second, are they
not, technically speaking, the mn-
ners-up. These are questions for
every member to think about before
the next general meeting. It is not
desirable that anything be done to dis
courage volley ball, for, as a sport on
our campus, it is in its youth; the
logical thing must be done. What do
you think?
WINSTON-SALEM PROUD OF
HONOR TO SALEM COLLEGE
(Continued from page one)
pledging faithful and enthusiastic c(^
operation to maintain this high
standard. . o i „
Such a classification as Salem
College has received is the result of
intensive study by experts, cov^ing a
number of points—equipment, ndelity
to ideals, endowment, building facil^
ties, competency of faculty through
experience and research, adequate
laboratory equipment, success of
teaching record of graduates who have
entered the profession of teaching, and
tone and spirit of the institution, and
others. Students in the A-class col
leges are received without further ex
amination, upon graduation, for ^
vanced work in the graduate depart
ments of universities anywhere in the
United States. Degree obtained from
member institutions have equal rank,
and the requirements for admission
are uniform. . „
The requirements of the Southern
Association are not exceeded by those
of any other regional associations.
To gain the position in educational
rank it now occupies, Salem College
went through the prescribed program
laid down for all colleges applying for
this honor. A year ago formal ap
plication was made by the college, and
during the twelve months following it
was subjected to ririd study and in
vestigation at the hands of various
committees. That year ended when
the association met in New Orleans,
and Dr. Rondthaler, as president of
the college, was invited to attend the
conference and give such further in
formation as might be desired. Satis
fied that every condition had been met
most successfully and that standards
maintained at the college measured up
fully to the requirements, Salem Col
lege entered into the highest classifica
BUSINESS MEETING OF STUDENT
SELF GOVERNMENT
ASSOCIATION
Freshman Members of Council
Elected.
The principal business of the
December meeting of the Student
Self Government Association was the
election of two young women from the
Freshman class to be members of the
Student Council.
The Freshmen became full members
of the Association some weeks ago
when they were removed from proba
tion and were given their class privi
leges. Realization of the underlying
principles of student government has
been evinced to an unusual extent by
these eighty-odd students. It is
hoped and believed that they will con
tinue in this way and will do much for
the furtherance of a true and pur
poseful spirit among all students who
come to Salem.
The nominees for places on the
Student Council as they come frm the
Freshman class were Ella B. Jones,
Mildred Hawk Evelyn Tucker and
Sara J. Bright. When the outcome
of the voting was made known 4twas
found that Misses Tucker and Jones
had been elected.
DR. BLAKE OF THE Y. W. C. A.
VISITS SALEM—MAKES SERIES
OF HEALTH TALKS.
Dr. Eva Blake, one of the staff of
physicians of the Health and Social
Education Bureau of the national
board of the Y. W. C. A., visited Salem
College last week. The work of these
physicians is done among groups of
women in all fields reached by the
Y W. C. A.—business women, college
women, women workers in industry.
A program of health includes not
only its physical aspects but the men
tal and spiritual as well. Women out
of the experience and interests in work
which they did during the war have
gained a new point of view as to
health. No longer is health thought
of as absence of suffering and disease
but of positive attainment in approxi
mating one’s fullest possibilities as a
person in spirit, mind and body—of
fitness for life and work.
