MISS LAWRENCE
RETURNS FROM
ATLANTIC CITY
N. E. A. Closes 19th
Annual Meeting
Prom all reports the Deans’ Meet
ing in Atlantic City last week-end
proved of great benefit to those at
tending. The meeting of the Deans
is a part of the N. E. A. and was the
19th of its kind to be held in this
country. It was presided over by
Miss Agnes Ellen Harris of the Uni
versity of Alabama.
Among the many interesting
speakers, three were especially out
standing. At a dinner meeting Mrs.
Roosevelt spoke on “College Women
and Community Interest. ’ ’ Her main
point was that colegc women, no
matter where they are, should put
out roots, and become powers in
their particular communities.
Two other interesting addresses
were the ones made by Miss Woolsey,
of Holeyoke College, and Miss Vir
ginia C. Gildersleve, of Barnard Col
lege.
The meeting was attended by four
hundred and four persons—in the
words of Miss Lawrence “the lar
gest and best looking collection of
deanery she has ever seen.”
Three “ quarter-century deans”
were cited as being interesting speci
mens of humanity, having served for
twenty-five long years as deans of
women’s colleges, and yet being still
whole and healthy. Those cited are
Miss Elizabeth Hamilton, dean of
Miami University at Antioch, Ohio;
Miss Mary Pierce Van Zile, of Kan-
sts State College, and Miss Hattie
Moore Mitchell, of State Teachers
College of Kansas.
Two speakers were present from
North Carolina, Mrs. Clyde Milner,
and Miss Baldwin of Duke, the lat
ter speaking on the ‘ ‘ Eural Girl in
College.” Other subjects discussed
wore ‘ ‘ Curriculum Changes,”
“Freshman Problems,” “House
Regulations,” “What Deans Should
Know,” “College Girl’s Point of

TALKS jMESFERS
Student-Speaker Discusses
“The Passing of Our
Old Heavens”
Dr. E. C. Linderman gave an in
teresting and instructive lecture on
‘ ‘ Educational Social Change”
Thursday night in Memorial Hall at
Salem College. The talk is one of
a series sponsored by the A. A. U.
W., Altrusa, B. and P.W. and busi
ness girls of the Y. W. C. A.
Dr. Linderman is well known
through his educational work on
which his topic was based. He dealt
with personal research, surveys in
which he has jmrticipated and with
actual experiences. He was well
versed in his subject through his
contact with Danish schools, of
which ho is the founder in this coun
try and through his study in Russia.
Dr. Linderman had the distinction of
being the only American appointed
by the British Research Commission
to serve as a member of that Com
mission, thus recognizing his out
standing ability.
The speaker is also to be the fea
ture attraction at the National Coun
cil of Jewish Women meeting in
New Orleans in March.
At Vespers, Sunday evening, Feb
ruary 24th. Cortlandt Preston made
a short talk in which she discussed
the passing away of our childish be
liefs and fears and the dawning of
now concepts of prayer The Bible
passage suggestive of this topic was
read by Julia Lee Little. Revela
tion 21-1:5, in which John says:
‘ ‘And I saw a new heaven and a
new earth; for the first heaven and
the first earth were passed away.”
Following this line of thought, the
speaker asked her audienct to pic
ture again their old first heavens.
As she expressed herself—a child
imagines that “The sky is a dark
blue marble partition. A sort of com
bination floor and ceiling which the
angels have built to separate their
apartment from the earthly one be
low. ’ ’
When a child discovers that the
glty is really inhabitated by fero
cious planets and suns, instead of
sweet faced cherubs and God he
begins to wonder where God really
lives. It - becomes more difficult for
him to pray, now that his God is
homeless as well a# formless.
The growing mind may seek with
in itself to find that “bit of God”
which is latent in everybody—and
may pray more easily, having found
a familiar supreme being. The speak
er said “to seek within yourself in

WALL MAKES FIRST
QUARTER TEST
RATING
A medical aptitude test, sent out
this winter by the American Associa
tion of Medical schools and colleges,
4s one of the methods used to de
termine a students ability to further
pursue a medical- course in college.
The test was taken by 10,000 stu
dents all over the country, on De
cember 13, at the same hour.
Of the three Salem Science majors
standing this test one made a re
markable rating—Miss Margaret J.
Wall, of New York City, made a
score which places her in the first
quarter among all the other students
standing the test in the United
States.
Students of the U. of California
have stenographers hired to take
class lecture notes; the notes are
tyi>od, and the students sell them to
students, who do not want to attend
class or who do not attend class.
Naturally, they see little, if any,
need of attending classes and the
teachers are in a muddle about it.
We of the East wonder what the
authorities there will do about the
situation. What do you think?

SALEM ACADEMY
SENIORS HONOR
GUES^AT DINNER
Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler En
tertain Senior Class
Saturday night, February 23, was
a gala night for the Seniors of the
Academy, as the occasion, of the an
nual dinner given by Dr. and Mrs.
Rondthaler for the Senior class and
their escorts.
The theme of the dinner, George
Washington’s birthday, was carried
out in detail in the decoration, fav
ors, and the appointments of the
tables. A specially interesting fea
ture was a large cake in the form of
a fortress, frosted in red, white, and
blue, and flying minature flags. This
cake was cut at the close of the
dinner, ani the following girls were
recipients of the significant symbols:
the ring, Dorothy Roberts the dime,
Shirley Tompkins, and the thimble,
Lucy Gray Smither.
On her arrival each girl was given
a card hearing the name of her part
ner for the first course. After each
course everyone progressed to the
table indicated by the number on the
attractive “diplomas” which served
as place cards. At each table in
teresting favors were passed, which
added to the festivity of the oc
casion. Particularly appealing were
the gay red, white, and blue paper
hats which were worn, by both boys
and girls, and the coy patriotic para
sols which were given to the girls
along with equally patriotic canes
for the boys. Cards bearing inter
esting questions for discussion filled
in anv gaps which might have oc
curred in the conversation, but
didn’t.
Reluctantly but happy the Sen
iors, accompanied by their escorts
left the Rondthalers, consoled by the
fact that, oven if the wrost came to
the worst, and they didn’t graduate,
at least another delightful dinner
would be in .store for them.
