A WORD OF GREETING
FROM OUR PRESIDENT
OXFOIID, N. C., Sept. 17, 1929.
Dear Alumnae:
As you may or may not know (those
who read The Twio probably know al*
ready and those who do not, very
likely, will never know or, for that
matter, care), I am president of our
Association for the year 1929-30. Be
ing of a somewhat conscientious turn
of mind, the job weighs on me heavily,
and had it not been for our zealous sec
retary I don't believe I could have un
dertaken It. But because I lovo Mere
dith College from the bottom of my
heart and because, as 1 said, Mae Grim
mer is here to do all the dirty work, I
have put my shoulder to the wheel
and I mean to do my utmost as Miss
Grimmer'a assistant for our college this
year.
This letter is by way of greeting to
the members of our Association. It is
also a warning that you will be pelted
this year, as usual, with pleas for dues
and various other contributions, and,
again, as usual, the officers of the As
sociation are optimistic enough to
hope that you will respond. (Again,
Twto readers will be apt to pull out
their check books and come across,
while nonreaders are none the wiser.)
Our energies as an Association this
year will be bent toward three objec
tives. We want to collect dues from a
larger percentage of our membership;
we want to raise a uest-egg—ostrich
variety, if possible—for the library
fund that will some day enable us to
have a Phi Beta Kappa chapter at
Meredith; aud we want to lay bands
on as many as we may of the choicest
high sciiool graduates of 1930 and
turn their sLeps Mevedlthward.
You will hear more from time to
time of detailed plans for reaching
these objectives that your executive
board are making. Meanwhile, think
about Alma Mater, talk about her, and,
above all, love her. She needs many
things, but nothing more than a
staunchly loyal body of alumna who
are willing to strain a little more, in
all the straining that we are called on
to do these days, that she may live
and grow and bless others as she has
blessed us.
More anon—and please don’t say as
a friend once said to me when I left
her with that phrase: “The anoner, the
better.” Yours sincerely,
Kate Campuell Joftssox Pabham.
