duced the speaker oi” the evening,

the University of N. C., in whose mind
the idea of a college press was con
ceived, and for that reason was most
capaljle of speaking on “The Origin
and Purpose of the North Carolina
Collegfate Press Association.” “Organ
ized, said he, “with the purpose of
bringing together, through a study of
mutual problems, the colleges of this

Press has proven its worth and must
face its responsi'bility.” To the em
bryonic journalists assembled, he em
phasized their influence L'urough their
papers over tlie respective student
bodies of the colleges represented, over
tlie people who these students repre
sented and liiially on the State and
nation. The speaker continued with
the opportunities which lay before the
associatfon through its members to
line up with the colleges in their
attempt to raiso the ideal.'? of the youth
of the State, to give them the right
sense of values, all of which has as its
prerequisite, education. The association
must have an ahn and purpose if it
is to to live and this is one of the
countless ways in which it may justify
its existence, was the concluding
thought of the speaker.
Following the address, an informal
reception was tendered the delegates
by the student body of Queens in the
two society halls and reception rooms
of the college.
The Friday morning session con
sisted of a series of discussions led
by representatives of the member

advertising staff of the Charlotte Ob
server, reviewed In a most Interesting
manner, thd history of advertising and

about to happen when they saw a mob

o'clock. Indeed, they were right;
Sometlting did happen. That w'as tho
night the Meredith Sophomores gave
a party in honor of the State Sopho
mores. The Phi I-Iall and the adjoin
ing room, the scenes of this party, were
decorated in the colors of the two
classes. The Phi Hall was festooned

certainly. She came forward, and
together they went Into the Pit! Hall

Tlie questions; "Why go to Col
lege?” and "Where go to College?"
were very capably discussed by Dr.
.Julia Harris, head of the English
department at Meredith, and Miss
Fronde Kennedy, dean of women at
Trinity College in the Meredltli audi
torium, Friday evening, April 20. The
program was given by the Raleigh
branch of the American Association
of Univer.sity Women for the purpose
of interesting high school graduates
in going on to some standard college
to further their education profitably.
Dr. Harris, a native of Wake County
wno received her high school educa-
Uon in the city, pointed out in a ve,-y
fonvincing manner why a high school
graduate should go to college. She
conlirmed the fact that a college edu
cation is a necessary requisite for one
in business or in the home.
"First of all," she said, “is the ques
tion of making friends.” The speaker
ihen showed how lasting friends m;iy
be gained by college associations. Oth
er reasons which Dr. Harris gave as
necessities in future life to be gained
to the best advantage only In college
were: Tho development of ability to
develop yourself in a gruup for (he good
of yourself and tiie group; and a good
time In atiiletic activities and in vari
ous other ways; for growth and en
largement of the powers which you
have, and learning how to use those
powers to tlie best advantage. The
speaker dosed her discussion with a
reason which summed up in a con
crete form her other reasons in that
one goes to coiiege to “develop all
powers of every individual as human
ity may ajjproach a goal as yet
unachieved.”
Following this address. Miss Ken
nedy also stressed the necessity of
obtaining a liigher education than
high school work, and. after giving
an Idea of what the A. A, U. W. is, Its
purpose, and its development from
Its foundation in 1800 until the pres
ent day, answered the question;
“Where go to College?" by saying that
any of the colleges in the list published
by the A. A. U. W. was a wise choice.
She added that one should go to the
college which specialized in the line
