The formation of a new club is

the Baptist families.

The advertisers in The Twio are
interested in the students at Mere
dith and they are anxious to serve
by selling the best quality at reason
able prices to Meredith girls. If
they patronize Meredith why not
patronize them; in this way show
ing appreciation for their interest
and at the same time seeviring the
best goods. Then, Meredith stud
ents should patronize the advertiz-

STUDENT CONFERENCE
MEETS AT GREENSBORO
EIGHTKEX DELEGATES FR05I
MEKEIHTH ATXEiVD STUDENT
CONFERENCE
Friday afternoon a great crowd
gathered In front of Main Building to
see the eighteen delegates off for the
student conference at Greensboro.
The Meredith spirit was very much
in evidence on the special bus that
took us to the conference and also at
the two dinners served us at N. C. C. W.
Some of the best men of our Bap
tist denomination were on the program
to help us with our problems. Some
of them being.. Dr. Chas. E. Maddry of
Raleigh, Dr. Chas. W. Daniel of At
lanta, Ga., Mr. Frank H. Leavell of
Memphis Tenn. These men had studied
our campus problems and were ready
and willing to pass that knowledge on
to us.
Not only did these men help us, but
great benefit ^vas gotten from the
speeches of our own Meredith girls.
In the open discussions great ques
tions were discussed regarding tlie
campus life of the different Institutions.
Always we were brought back to the
one tact, that to make Christ, campus
commander was to raise our campus
standard.
May we who heard all these good
things put at least a part of them
to work on our campus, and "make
)ur campus different,”
tioii of wluit the new college
will mean in equipment, while the
talk of Mr. W. IN'. Jones brought tlie
actual building closer to mind by
accurate statistics concerning build
ing plans and finaiicial afliairs. To
say that the barbecue was a howl
ing success ill every way would be
putting iji mildly.

The society initiatious were, as
annually, the sourec of enthusiastic
cooperation on the part of new
members. The societies through the
additional membership can grow
eflieient and can equal any other
oi'ganization for helpful results.
The invitations were clever and in
teresting following the usual cus
toms. The new Astros eneouutered
