FORTY COLLEGE STU-
DENTS OF SOUTHERN
FEDERATION VISIT
MEREDITH
•ME.N FROJr SOUTHKKJi COLLEGES
EN ROUTE Sl‘EM) A> HOIK
AT JIKHEIHTJI
“Southern Federation of College Stu
dents forty strong, representing eigh
teen Southern colleges in nine states
—now meeting in Chapel Hill stop on
motor tour—will pass your school
about four o’clock this afternoon.
Hope they can see some of your stu
dent body."
Such was the telegram surprisingly
received by Whit Powell, president
of Student Government Association,
on Friday afternoon. And oh, what a
shock when this mob of "Southern
Shieks” tiled up the Meredith steps
and lllled the front hall.
Two huge Carolina busses checking
’round and ’round Meredith had at
tracted much attention during the
afternoon and the curiosity of each
girl interested was appeased when
the buses halted on our campus and
unloaded their occupants.
The shock was not too great to be
overcome, however, and very soon a
number of the Meredith girls were
utterly swamped by these brave
young men. A blonde “ApoJlo" from
Washington-Lee stood forth in strik
ing contrast with a handsome shiek
from Tennessee and others from Ala
bama, Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky
and Klissouri.
This delegation had met at Chapel
Hill in the interest of Student Gov
ernment, which, as the formal ex-’
presslon of the moral self, presup-
,poses the existance of an inner ap
preciation of right conduct, of a ten
dency to right judgment where con
fronted by deliberation and of a will
that executes in the presence of what
is conceived to be a duty.
Such a chattering, laughing, lively
bunch of the South's gay youth is sel
dom surpassed, and It was a great
pleasure privilege that the Meredith
girls had in entertaining them for a
short while. Their appearance was
sudden, but more so their departure,
In fact the whole affair seemed an
illusion. Such organized activity
silves the principle of action and re
action an opportunity for full i)lay,
and may be made a means to higher
moral development.
The more often such activity takes
tangible form in such a pleasant way
as wiis made by this recent visit the
more Meredith girls approve It.

years of the effort to place Meredith
in the Southern .\ssoclatlon,
The most elusive achievements were
tiiose of salaries and the endowment
fund. First, the salary to be rcciuired
was placed at $1,500. When It seemed
that the goal was almost reached, It
was placed at $2,000. Still later, it
was made $3,000, The -endowment
fund was first placed at $175,000, Then,
like the salaries, it increased, stopping
for u while at $200,000, and then
reaching $.500,000. We could not
have achieved this, had it not been
for two things. First, they allowed
us $200,000 endowment, provided there
was a yearly income of $25,000 from
permanent sources rather than the
students. Then the Board of Educa
tion KavG us $15,000 which was our
much noeded per cent interest on
the S.'^OO.OOO we so badly needed.
When Meredith's entrance to the
Association was (inally accomplished,
It seemed that a will-o'-the-wisp had
been caught, so elusive had been the
'stumbling blocks.
And now we are hoping to soon be
at our “New Meredith," where we
will have space enough to expand,
physical equipment as well as that of
the class rooms, and a chance to en
joy nature on our own campus. How
ever, we can't hope to have the whole
scheme carried out at the present
time. But we would all regret to
think that our whole plant would be
linished in a year or two. There would
then be no chance for a thrill In
the prospect of enlargement.
The. dormitories and the library
will be the iirst consideration. Both
of these will be entirely of lireproof
material, as they will be permanent.
The dormitories will be as complete
and up-to-date as possible, with all
modern conveniences. The library
will contain the administrative offices
and the social center. This must be
lireproof and permanent, on account
of the numerous records and docu
ment that could not be replaced in
case of destruction.
Some of the buildings put up at
Hrst will necessarily have to be of
temporary materials. The class rooms
may be built of wood, and yet be
comfortable and convenient. The
same thing Is true of laboratories, the
gymnasium, the music studios and the
practice halls. However, these struct
ures will be replaced by permanent,
fireproof ones as soon as the money
comes In.
This change and the progress calls
for no new spirit, but merely an in
carnation of the old spirit in a new
body. It will take faith to do this,
but it will take no more than that
shown by those who made our founda
tion. It will take sacrifice, but no
more than that made 'by the first
men and women who struggled to
help Meredith over the many obstacles
in her way. In short, it is a task that
will test us, and that calls upon us
to prove ourselves worthy of those
who labored and suffered in the fight
for the supremacy of our Alma Mater,

wife were also there to add a portion
of cheer and gladness.
The time was spent very pleasantly
and as the girls rose to go, they ex
pressed their anticipation of the Wake
Forest College Glee Club concert soon
to be given at Meredith,
With the gilrs of the club were Miss
Ruth Goldsmith, accompaniest, and

present ring being of the same design
as some high school rings. The
Senior president spoke of the pleasure
with which the senior class has been
looking forward to the arrival of the
rings and the benellts derived from
waiting until the senior year to get
them. She pointed out that the rings
would be dearer and signify more If
only those that would graduate would
wear them and If they were bought
previous to the senior year, many
girls who would not finish would be
wearing the Meredith rings.
Miss Ida Poteat spoke as a repre
sentative of the faculty and assured
us of the artistic beauty and worth
of the ring. Trusting Miaa Ida's
wonderful ability, we did not need
to hear that the design was a Tiffany
one. We sincerely hope that the
student body will see the wisdom and
improvement shown in this change and
support Miss West In the hope that the
design will be taken as standard by
the college.

nounced that all those without an
eleven o'clock class might listen to
the contestants. This was especial
ly interesting to music students, and
they were delighted when Dr. Brown
excused them from Harmony in order
that they might attend.
Several schools were represented
by a chorus or quartet of which were
Knightdale, Cary, Apex and Wakelow.
Each number was rendered quite well
but it was decided by the judges that
the Cary contestants were superior
singers in the choruses but Apex was
named winner in the quartets.
Both the chorus, “Carry Me Back to
Ole Virginny” and the quartet, “She
Sleeps, My Lady Sleeps” showed that
there is musical talent in Wake Coun
ty High Schools.
