On Monday evening, May the fourth,
Meredith College students and friends
of the College were fortunate in hear
ing the noted sculptor, Mr. Borghini,
deliver a most impressive lecture. Mr.
Borglum is best known to the public
because of the recent Stone Mountain
tragedy.
Id the beginning Mr. Borglum
stated that he had chosen Raleigh as a
place of refuge for a temporary home.
In his lecture Mr. Borglum cleared
himself of three charges that have
been brought against him. First, Mr.
Borglum said that he did not destroy
the Angel of Saint John the Divine.
Second, he explained the coin charge
that has been falsely interpreted, and
third, he explained that he had never
collected one cent for the work he had
done on Stone Moimtain, but has even
gone so far as to ilnance some of his
plans.
Mr. Borglum then said that he had
held a special conference with some of
the Stone Mountain committee the day
he delivered the lecture, and he ex
pressed the belief that possibly the
Stone Mountain Memorial would be
linished by himself.
Mr. Borglum succeeded in gaining
the sympathy of his hearers by his
lecture, and it is hoped that the people
of the South will cooperate and show
their loyalty to Mr. Borglum in so
great an undertaking. For just as
Milton would not be capable of finish
ing a play of Shakespeare no other
sculptor will be able to finish the task
Mr. Borglnm has so originally and
whole-heartedly designed.

VESPER SERVICE HELD
ON CAMPUS AT SUNSET
The Y. W. C. A. had the Sunday
afternoon program out on the campus
where each one could be as near to
natiire and as near to God as possible.
The program began by singing “Day
is Dying in the West.” The devo
tional was conducted by Mary Herring
who read from the nineteenth Fsalni.
Following the devotion Irene Edwards
read “God of the Open Air,’’ by Van
Dyke. “Now the Day Is Over,” was
then sung by Marguerite Harrison,
Katherine Cook, and Annie Elkins.
Inunedlately following the trio Flor
ence Stokes read “Sundown,” by
Charles McNiel.
The out of door service is very Im
pressive and It is hoped that It will be
possible to have the other Y. W. C. A.
programs of this year on the campus.
“There was a time when meadows,
groves and stream.
The earth and every common sight,
To me did seem appareled In celestial
light.”
So was the time when the annual
Field Day Exercises took place on the
campus Friday (May 8). The general
interest of the exercises was displayed
in the crowd which had gathered when
the exercises began. The first exer
cise was a “Grand March,” in which
all classes took part. Then immediately
following, the Juniors presented some
interesting exercises, a wand drill and
a dance. The Sophomores gave a
Dumb Bell Exercise and an English
Barn Dance. Then last came the
Freshmen with some gymnastic exer
cises, followed by “Jump, Jump Jim
Crow,” “May Day Gallop,” “My Bon
nie,” and "Hewitt’s Fancy.”
After the judges made their decis
ion, the ribbons were presented by
Mr. Wood, Physical Director in the
schools of Raleigh. The following
girls won ribbons;
JuNiou Class: Elsie Elkins, Kathe
rine Cooke, J. M. Hartsfleld, Elizabeth

Fanatics ot practicality may well
have been astonished had they been
present at the Astro meeting Saturday
night. For the Literary Group ren
dered a remarkable program, based on
the meaning of advertisements in the
Meredith publications, and the attitude
which is fitting that the students as
sume in order that these publications
receive the maximum assistance from
commercial Raleigh.
There was a representative from
each publication to list the hardships
and trials in obtaining advertisements
from merchants, Portia Aldeman from
the Twill staff. Boss Thomas from the
Acor?i staff, and Maud Bowers from the
Oak Leaves staff. Points emphasized
were: the necessity of advertisements
to the financial life of the publications,
the law of the Merchant's Association
forbidding a merchant to advertise in
more than one school publication, the
difllciilty in obtaining patrons with
whom Meredith girls do not trade
often, and the dlfRculty in obtaining
advertisements from those merchants
with whom Meredith will do extensive
trading regardless. It was urged that
the students heed more the advertise
ments in all of Meredith publications
and take more care to trade with those
who advertise with Meredith. This is
something to act, as well as think
upon.

The Wake Forest B. Y. P, u.'s en
tertained the Meredith B. Y. P. U.’s
Saturday night. May 9. in the Meredith
society halls.
From the time a few of the boys
came in the afternoon to help decorate
until tlie actual' time (or all of them
to arrive, every one .seemed all ex
cited over the approaching event. At
about eight o’clock masculine voices
were heard on the stairs giving a
signal that they had arrived, and
we rushed up to greet them ex
pecting a good time. Soon almost all
of the boys and girls had arrived and
every one was gaily chatting to her
new friends. Then Mr. L. B. Moseley,
president of the Wake Forest B. Y.
P. U.’s announced that Miss Emily
Parsons would sing. All was hushed
and delighted to hear her sing “Under
the Lilac Tree” and “To-whit
To-wlioo.” She received much ap
plause and we wished she would favor
us with another selection, but she
charmingly declined.
We were next entertained by Mr.
Cloz, who performed several miracles
from making broad go under a hat
to turning water into a girl. Then
Mr. Mosely called for three girls who
volunteered to have a joke played on
them. Edna Earle Walton. Ruth
Truesdale, and Dorothy Dunning were
the sufferers whos? facial expression
we watched while a pointless joke was
being told.
