A. A. U. W. Recognizes Salem
Salem To Receive Money
For New Scholarship Fund
I According to a recent Chattano-^f
% oga newspaper article, Salem Col-
I lege will receive half of the resid-
? uary estate of Mrs. Elizabeth W.
I Scholze to be used as a scholar-
I ship fund. Salem College will
I divide the remainder of the estate,
I after specific bequeathals have
I been settled, with the University
I of Chattanooga.
I At this time it is impossible to
ii determine the amount each school
;| will receive, because Mrs. Scholze’s
i estate is comprised of personal
property, various parcels of real
estate and considerable stock.
i;| Salem’s share will be called the
Elizabeth Windsor Scholze Scholar-
ship Fund. The details of eligibility
for this aid have not yet been
p specified.
•sj Mrs. Elizabeth W. Scholze, who
graduated from Salem in 1902, was
a well-known patron of the arts
' J and music. Elaine Williams, a
J member of the present freshman
■ I: class, is the grand-niece of Mrs.
■i Scholze.

Welch Wins
Prize For Play
Dr. Elizabeth Welch won the
Betty Smith Award, the highest
and only award in play production
of an original play and the highest
award in playwriting, at a four-day
drama festival at the University of
North Carolina for her play, “To
day Is Tomorrow.’’ The award
for first place was $75.00.
The judges, who represented
three different departments of the
University, English, Modern Lan
guage and Dramatic Arts, were
highly enthusiastic about Dr.
Welch’s play. One said, “It could
easily be compared with ‘Our
Town.”
Another judge commented that
it was a play “excitingly presented
and excitingly written.” He added
that he sat breathless during the
performance.
Samuel Selden, Director of the
Carolina Playmakers, said in his
criticism, “It is not often that one
can rightly use the term symphonic
in connection with a drama, but
this is certainly one to which the
term can be applied.”
The Goldsboro High Masciuers
