Dr. Chas. E. Browor, president of
Meredith College, has consented to
the attendance of the young ladies
from Meredith in ordoi- to make So

sible. In cooperation with the So
ciety Day Conmiittne, Graduate
Manngev Ciirroll has nindn it pos
sible for each stiident to carry one
young woman on hi.? student ticket
to tiie game. Thus it is believed
that Socicty Dsiy will he a great suc-
rcss owing to rhi' incessant labors nf
the Society Day Committee and the
coiiperation of the faculty and Dr.

Those who atteiulcd ths vesper ser
vices Sunday eveaJng had tlie pleas-
m'e o£ listening to two interesting and
helpful talks. A traveling secretary
of tile Student Volunteer Movemenl
told US of a meeting of Colloge Stud-
ets at Detroit sometime soon, He eX’
presBticl the H-ish that Meredith might
send delegates to this promising meet
ing., where problems of the foreign
mission Helds will be discussed.
Miss Walsworth, one of our music
I’aculty, told us what she knew of tlTe
Jews from her own personal exper
ience. She pictured them as money-
mad, dirty, and prejudiced against
the Gentiles. She also made the ser
ious statement lhat probably and al
most surely their prejudice toward
Gentiles is due to the Gentiles them
selves, since we represent, to them,
their former persecutors. Miss Wals-
wort’a opinion is that the oaly rem
edy to the Jewish problem ia lliroiigh
their children. May wc consider this
problem aeriously and try to do our part
in making retatloua more friendly be-
twcen’Jew and Gentile.

Word has just boon received to
the effect that the Senior Class of
Mercditii College will bo the gucats
of the Senior Class of Wake Forest
College, at a rocc])tion to be given
in tho Meredith Society Halls. The
date which has’been sot for this
event is Saturday night, Dccembor
3.
The class of ’2S of Hercdith is
looking forward to the event with
Til-. J.. A. Ellis, pastor of Pullen
2'fomorial Baptist Church, made a
very appropriate talk in chapel Fri
day morning, November 11, in eom-
memoratioji of tho signing of the
Armisticc nine years ago.
Dr. Ellis was u chaplain in the
army, and was “at the front” when
peace was declared. lie told of the
joy in the liearts of the sohiiers a.s
they threw dou'n their guns and em
braced each other, and of the glad
ness of the French as they cried,
“La guerre cst fini Those that
were back home in America had in
their hearts ami on their tongues
only one phrase—“The war is over!”
ife spoke of the work of those hack
home, and likened their bravery to
that of the boys who wont “over
rhc top.”
As he was standing one evening
at ono of the many burial grounds
“over there,” and was watehinc; the
bodies of the dead soldiers being car
ried in, he asked the Captain how
many bodies he supposed Avere
buried there. The reply was:
“Eighteen tliousand chaplain; seven
liundred more buried hero today”!
I>r. Ellis .snid he knew in his iieart
Him that it was not right—that the
great tragedy of tho World War was
all wrong!
lie did not dwell long on the in
justice of the yasl war—“the war to
end wnrs”—hut his plea was that
rhei’e be no repctidon of such a
beastly thing! Whether wc have
war or not, he tliiiilcs depends en-
lirelj' on the decision of tho churchos.
If there another war, it will not
be a political one,—it will be laid at
the door of the church. And if the
ehnrches decide that thero will be
no more war, there will not be!
•Dr. Ellis does not approve of mili
tary training in the schools, he docs,
A moonlight night and a Treasure
Hunt! What coiild be more tlirill-
ing and exciting—when the parlici-
]iants aro from Wake Forest and
.Meredith ?
Every girl fortunate enough to be
a member of the Meredith B. Y.
P. U. was planning to attend! And
so was cver^' Wake Forest boy! Wo
heard of myslerious preparations be
ing made. Now what, for instance,
could those boys and girls be going
to do with nil that wood they were
dragging out between the chapel and
the grove? Oh, that’s no longer a
secret. It’s for the huge bonfire
about which mai'shmnllows tmd
weines are to be toasted.
At the door of the chapel, two
young ladies were handing out odd
shaped cards with words written on
them. These, we found later, match
ed with other cards to form minia
ture daggers. What fun it was to
find a partner!
The very interesting program
was impromptu on the part of most
of tho “e?’tertniu'^r5.” ^Ii«« PIntt,
