4 THE TWIG \ Propose Removal Meredith to Site Near Wake Forest A definitt; proposition for the re moval of Meredith College from R:il- eigli, tlic ahandoiiment of the pro posed site near Method and the se lection of a site at Forestvillo, is being made by people of Wake For est, including townspeople and mem bers of the faculty of Wake Forest Conege. The propos:il which would mean the establishment of the Duptlst woman’s collogc of the State wltliin a mile of tiio Baptist men’s collcge iij the State is submitted In an article in the liiblical Jfcr.onhr written by Dr. G. \V. Paschal, of Ihe Wake For est faculty. A movement is afoot at Wake For est, it is understood by which sufii- cient funds would be raised to pur chase grounds for the establishmenl of meredith at Forestville. Dr. Paschal’s article in the liihli- c.iif Itfcordrr follows: •'The people of the town of Wake Forest and vicinity have a dclinitc proposition lo make to the trustees of Meredith College and the Baptists of the State. ‘‘We offer a site for Meredith Col lege. and olTer it free of charge. “We have several desirable sites, blit I shall menlion the advantages of only one. And I shall do this for the most part, in paragraphs of one sentence each, leaving the devel opment of the points to my readers. "1. The silo is on the iuird-surface road in process of construction from Kaleigh, northward, about half a mile from Forestvillo and three- fourths uf a mile from Wake Forest. ”2. It is a plateau, commanding a view of a buantil'ul country for miles around on all sides. “3. It is as large as needed, 150 acres if desired, stretching along the highway for mure than a quarter of a mile, reaching the Seal)oard Air Line Railway on one side and the Wake Forest College golf links on the other. “4. It is well drained and sanitary, and in easy reach of water and light ing system of the town of Wake Forest. “f. Adjoining the railroad, it of fers room for a spur to unload coal and heavy freight, such as is needed in building. “6. It is in a district pre-empted H century ago for Baptist education, and therefore altogether free from objectionable populations and insti tutions. "7. On the new highway it will be in easy reach of Raleigh, not more than a thirty-minute run, and prac tically as near the city as the site at Method. “8. Being a free gift of the people of Wake Forest, It ■will save the pur chase price of the Method site, some fifty or sixty thousand dollars. “9. This site offers a good com promise for both those who have favored and those who have opposed the site near Method. It will please and get everybody in a good humor. “10. With Meredith on this site, fhc edncatlonal interests and pro gram for our young men and oiir young women conid be properly nnified and co-ordinated. This can never 1)e done, even if found desir able, with Wake Forest on one side of Raleigh and Meredltli on the other. “11. In a social way. Wake Fores' ard Meredith would both be greatly bencIUcd by being near one another. Con!?)dor the great advantage to the sUulonts of State College that Mere dith would be if located at Method A like advantage would come to the Wake Forest students if Meredith should 1)3 located near Wake Forest ;\inl tiiciv own students arc. or should be. proper care of North Car..,llna Faptists. “12. Then, again, these institu tions. if near one another, would greatly prolit from the fact tha1 the'r students would have a com- ni«r spiiit, be interested in the wel fare of the two institutions alike, and unite our people throughout the State in a common enthusiasm for both. “in. Leaving out many advantages lhat each insiitutlon might gain from the faculty, library, and com mon lecture courses of the other. I mention only the fact that if situ ated near one another the students of each college could enjoy much better religious advantages for train ing and service than if separate. ‘'l-t. And this is no untried experi ment. Thirty-one years ago, as editor of the Forcut Sludcjit, I advocated the plan here suggested. ; At the time. President Taylor was understood to favor it. Since then it has been adopted, with slight modlTication. by the Baptists of Vir ginia. Twenty years ago Richmond roilc^e was little short of a disgrace lo the Virginia Baptists and the city of Richmond. Westhanipton. the college for women, was not much better. But today they have been n.nved to new sites near one another, not as accessible to the business part of Richmond as Wake Forest is to Ral'‘iEtb, and the two have become the pride of our Virginia brethren ar.d have Iheir enthusiastic support. Their endowment and property have grown by leaps and bounds, and to day they exceed in value that of any other two Baptist institutions In the South. Would it not bo well for us to consider the result of co ordinating the Virginia colleges in our further plans for our own?" —Naun and Observer.

I Intercollegiate Press ^ Elon College, N. C., October 17, 1922 —Dr. Martyn Sunimerbell, of Lake- mont, N. Y., delivered his annual series of lecturcs to the student body, Octo ber in-17. The general theme of his lectures for this year was the discus sion of Modern Apostles. The men whom he characterized as such, were John Wycliffo, John Huss and John Calvin. I-Iis lectures are always of interest to the student body, and his coming is always looked forward to as one of the greatest events of the collcge year. Elon College, N. C., October 17, 1922 —On Saturday evening, October 14. the Music Lovers’ Club of Elon Collcge. presented to the collcge and the com munity, Miss Marie Tiffany, soprano, of the Metropolitan Opei‘a Company. Her concert was one of the best that has ever been given in the college auditorium. The program was nuide up of members lhat wer« varied an every selection was greatly enjoyed by the audience. rilK (UIV.M-HY 01' i;Vi:i{\'l)AY TASKS Saturday morning, October 21. 1922. a very interesting lenture was given to the students of Meredith College, l>y the bursar, Mr. Ferrell. The theme of the talk was couragc. In delining courage lie certainly expressed the sentimeni of the greater pari of the girls whon he said that it took more courage to get up in the morning than it did to fight a battle. To get up in the morning, knowing that the same old routine is to be travelled, certainly offers no great outlook for the day: therefore it does take courage to make the best of every day. And then, having courage to practice and prepare recitations is another ne cessity for the person who means to bo a real success in life. Success never comes to the person who merely wishes but to the one who wishes and works. Excellence in any art can never be attained without practice and study which takes a great amount of cour age plus ambition. So often people do not consider that anyone else has as great dlfflculties as theirs. Students do not often consider the teachers' problems and difficulties. Theirs are truly as great and amazing as those of any of us. Do they not have to possess a wonderful amount of courage to do the same thing every day. to meet, the same people every day and yet got pleasure out of their w’ork? Surely courage plays a wonder ful part in keeping them at it. Does it take more courage for the average individual or for the man of Came? Of course, there is a dllterence In opinion to this question, but there is one thing that is evident to all of us and that is that the average man’s career consists of little every day things that the best must be made of. while the famous man knows his praises are sung and that everybody knows of his accomplishments.
