Faculty Group
Hears Blair
The Faculty Group for Research
and Creative Work held its second
meeting of the year on Thursday
night at 7:30 in the living room of
Bitting Dormitory. Miss Marian
Blair was guest speaker. Miss Blair
is an alumna of Salem College and
formerly was Knglish teacher and
Registrar here. She has prepared
a paper on life at Salem between
the years 1834 and 1844. Her ma
terial was gathered from the cor
respondence of the Reverend John
.racobson, who was president of
Salem during those years.
Miss Blair discussed the enroll
ment and the curriculum of that
time, and by quoting from the
letters, she gave a vivid picture of
life at Salem and glimpses of life
throughout the South. At that time
Salem had as many students for
its size as we have today. Girls came
from many of the southeastern
states, for Salem was one of the
few girls’ schools in the country.

are alienated from the church be

young people—to dare to be differ
ent, to be willing to refuse to follow
the crowd, and to consecrate them
selves to Christ and His Work.
