Founders’ Day Requests
Read to the Trustees
Student Suggestions For Im
provements of School Are
Read at Dinner
It has been customary ever since
Founder’s Day has been observed at
Salem to give members of the faculty
and student at this time the oppor
tunity of making any suggestions or
requests that they wish concerning
the improvement of the college. It
is intreseting to note that out of the
116 requests made last year seventy
one have been achieved and of the
forty-five remaining fifteen are in
the process of being realized. Of
those remaining it is easy to under
stand the impossibility of achieving
them immediately since they involve
an expenditure of $95,000. From this
it is evident that these suggestions
and requests are not merely in fun
but are taken quite seriotisly.
This past Founder’s Day there
were one hundred and ninety re
quests and suggestions, many, of
course, being alike and a number of
tliem requests for more cuts, for un
limited weekends, etc., coming under
the jurisdiction of the council and
advisory board rather than the board
of trustees.
From the day students came re
quests for a larger room, a dressing
and showers, a telephone,

Painting and Music of Two
Alumnae Are Exhibited
Salem College students were given
a rare opportunity on I'riday, I'eb-
ruary 7, of getting an enlightening
glimpse of one phase of the school’s
life as it u.‘;ed to be seventy-five or
eighty years ago. This was afford
ed through the exhibits of some
hand work of two well known and
much loved alumnae who died in the
year just passed. These were Mrs.
Margaret Siewers Pfohl and Miss
Amy Van Vleck.
The exhibit of Mrs. Pfohl’s work
was comprised of painting's which
she did while in school. These pic
tures, for the most part large bou
quets of flowers, were artisti
cally portrayed. In addition
were shown photographs of Mrs.
Pfohl when she was married and
one taken shortly before her death,
also her Bible which lay open at one
of her favorite verses. She was
noted for her beautiful penmanship,
and until the last year of her life
the young people of the community
would often take their Bibles to her
to have their names put in by her
skillful hand. She served beauti

nc(iuins for the show were girls of
Salem. There were two parts to
the show in order that the similarity
of the latest styles and that of a

stressed.

Vocational Discussions
Noted Personality Diagnostic
ian and Adviser Is Guest
Of Salem College
Dr, Faith Farifield Gordon, per-
inality diagnostician and adviser
with the Women’s Professional Re
lations, situated at N. C. C. W^.,
Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday at Salem College and
Academy in conference with the
students there. Dr. Gordon was
brought to Salem through the efforts
of the Education Department in car-
'ing out their program of Voca
tional Guidance, which was begun
last week with the address of Mrs.
Chase Going Woodhouse.
Being a graduate of Bates Colleg(
and of the University of Boston, as
well as having been connected with
the Smith College School of Social
Work and with a similar school at
the University of Chicago, Dr. Gor
don is well suited to give college
girls advice on the field of work into
which they should enter. In her ad
dress Dr. Gordon emphasized espec
ially the types, and importance, of
personality necessary to the various
vocations.
Dr. Gordon held individual
ferences with students on Wednes
day and Thursday mornings from
nine until eleven; at these confer
ences she frankly discussed the per
sonal qualifications and abilities
which her interviewers had for their
prospective vocations, as well as giv
ing them practical advice concerning
entering these fields.
In the evenings group discussions
were led by Dr. Gordon upon topics
of various interests. Wednesday the
“Purpose of the College Clinic” and
“Mental Hygiene” were the topics
for discussion, and on Thursday
evening “The Problem of Independ
ence” and “Getting On With Par
ents” were discussed.
Individual conferences with Dr.
Dr. Gordon were held in Office 14,
Main Hall^ and group discussions
took place in Alice Clewell Campi
I^iving Room.
While waiting in Winston-Salem
Dr. Gordon and her husband were
the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Rond-
thaler.
Dr. Gordon Speaks
At Expanded Chapel
“Mental Hygiene” Is Subject
of Interesting Talk
In the expanded chapel service on
Wednesday, February 12, the stud
ents of Salem College and Academy
had the rare opportunity of hearing
Dr. Faith Fairfield Gordon, one of
the most interesting speakers who
has ever been at Salem College. In
introducing her. Dr. Rondthaler
ipoke of her having graduated from
Bates College. Later she took her
medical degree at the University of
Boston. Since then, she has been
'Cry active in the work of vocational
guidance.
Dr. Gordon said that she wished
show the application of mental
hygieiie to the problems of college
students. To her, mental hygiene is
more important than personal
hygiene because it is not an easy
task to help people out of their
mental difficulties. One big prob
lem which many people have to face
that of an inferiority complex.
Most of the perplexities which arise
have to be covered up and concealed
by methods which differ with each
individual. There is also the prob
lem of personality. There are peo
ple who think that others are always
talking unkindly about them; there
those who always have an air of
apology about them; there are the
mentally lazy and the ones who put
things off. All of these things af
fect an individual’s personality and
it is the work of the mental hygienist
to try to help with these difficulties.
The questions of training and experi-
are important, too. The col
lege age is a very good time to
^ork with these problems.

a great deal in their work right after

Miss Katherine McCall
At Salem Last Week
Interests of Student Volunteer
Union Are Presented
Miss Katheryn McCall, president
of the North Carolina Student Vol
unteer Union, was a visitor at Salem
during the past week-end to present
the interests of the Student Volun
teer Movement and mission work to
students here. The Student Volun
teer Movement is an organization of
American College and University
student.s who have made it their life
purpose, God willing, to enter
Christian service abroad. The
Movement is instrumental in pro
moting fellowship among students
who have made the above their pur
pose, in furthering interest and study
in the cause of Christian missions
today, and in relating the students
who are interested to the various
sending agencies. The North Caro
lina Union is a branch of the na
tional organization but membership
in the national Movement is not pre
requisite to membership in the state
union. To join the North Carolina
Union students need only state inter
est in mission work, and thereby
have the blessing of feUowship with
other students all over the state who
have the same interests. Miss Mc
Call’s interest and enthusiasm for
the Movement and her vital purpose
to serve Christ abroad made many
friends for her on this campus.
Salem does not have a Student
Volunteer Band in the full sense of
the word, but every Wednesday
morning a group of girls—known as
the Christian Service Committee—
meet in the cabinet room on the
third floor of Alice Clewel Building.
