MEREDITH COLLEGE, RALEIGH, N. C., JANUARY 23, 1930
Number 13
A, E. Roth Addresses
Conference at Stanford
Exams !
Margaret Craig, our Meredith
College representative to the
Students’ Conference at Stan
ford University, reports many
inspiring speakers, but one of
the most prominent and popular
of those who addressed the fifth
annual conference of the Nation
al Students’ Federation was Mr.
Almon E. Roth, comptroller of
Stanford University. Mr. Roth's
address evinced an unusually ac
curate and sympathetic under
standing of student life, which is
an interesting and rather unique
fact; for it is rare that a man
connected purely with the busi
ness aspect of a college, as he is,
should understand student life,
its attitudes, purposes, and prob
lems, as well as he. Aside from
the fact that Mr. Roth’s address
was one which essentially inter
ested the students from the
standpoint of its applicability to
the problems universal among
student bodies, he won their ad
miration by his pleasing person
ality and genial but appropriate
witicisms.
In his address Mr. Roth said:
“This is an age of good will.
Great corporations are spending
millions to create it. Hoover’s
trip to South America is an ex
ample of national good will. A
university needs good will, for its
graduates must compete in a
highly competitive market. As
90 per cent of a university’s
graduates go forth to earn a live
lihood, the, good will of the pub
lic toward a university is most
important.”
Mr. Roth then pointed out six
ways in which a student body
has a contact with the public.
Good will may or may not be de
veloped by them. Though the six
points may possibly seem insig
nificant to some, stated Mr.
Roth, they are really of unlim
ited importance:
1. The friendliness of the stu
dent body towai’d visitors and
outsiders.
2. Impressions made by teams.
3. The merit of campus publi
cations.
4. Radio and motion picture
influence.
5. Respect for university prop
erty.

Cleveland, of the National Tex
tile Association, “but now, with
the quantities of beautiful ma
terials and excellent designs that

nance that it has never before
know'n.”

ern group. The Theta X fra
ternity entertained the conven
tion at a buffet luncheon, and

EX-GOV. WM.E. SWEET
GIVES INSPIRING TALK
Discusses the New I*atriolism
for Settlement of Disputes
Without War
At the chapel cxercises Thurs
day, January 16, Mr. William
E. Sweet, ex-Governor of Colo
rado, who is now connected with
the national Y. M. C. A. work,
discussed at length the subject
of “The New' Patriotism.” This
patriotism Mr. Sweet believes
to be the settlement of disputes
by pacific means. “War,” de
clared the speaker, “is not inevi
table.” The inevitableness of
things is subject to the will of
mankind. War is not the work
ing out of the laws of nature,
I and therefore it may be deter-
! mined by man’s W'ill. War will
not cease, until men determine
to outlaw war, thus making it
of no consetjuence.”
“Nations since the beginning
of time, and people since the be
ginning of history,” Mr. Sweet
further explained, “have looked
upon war as a calamity that
must be endui'ed, a scourgc from

At Vesper Services
The subject for the Sunday
evening vesper services on Jan
uary 19 was “Applying Christ’s
Honor System on Meredith Cam
pus.” The song, “What a
Friend,” was followed by a pray
er by Kathleen Durham. The
139th Psalm on “The All-Seeing
God” w'as read responsively, and
Miss Madaline Elliot ofFei’ed
another appropriate prayer.
Margaret Wells then played a
meditation organ solo. Individ
ual sentence prayers were made
in thanksgiving for the per
sonal friendship Christians en
joy with Christ.

Basketball season is in full
swing now and excitement is
running high over the approach
ing games. Every class is well
represented on the court at each
pi-actice, and that spirit of com
petition is beginiiing to prevail.
It means work, and har(l work,
to get on the team, since there
are so many going out, but it’s
a place worth w'orking for.
There has been more interest
shown in basketball this year
than ever before, and much
credit goes to Miss Anderson for
her enthusiasm and untiring ef
forts. The class managers are
doing splendid work in getting
so many girls out. The games
are scheduled to bo played be
fore exams, but if the remain
ing few days do not allow sufli-
cient time they will be carried
over ujitil second semester. And
when they are played it is going
to be up to the members of each
class to support their team and
help them win. Who will win
the championship—^the Seniors,
the Juniors, the Sophs, or the
Freshmen? That remains an un
answerable question that only
time and work can tell.
! Ruth Preslar Attends
Conference in Memphis
There were gathered at Mem
phis, by the Father of Waters,
;0n December 31 to January 2,
i about 2,500 of the South’s most
consecrated and enthusiastic
Baptist young people and reli
gious leaders in the first South-
wide B. Y. P. U. Conference.
These personalities embodied
the finest ideals, attitudes, and
characteristics of the rising gen
eration of Southern Baptist
young people. In this conference
they gave to the Southern Bap
tist Convention high hopes and
a strong assurance for the fu
ture advancement of Christ’s
kingdom: they took away from
the conference great courage
and visions for undreamed-of
usefulness in the service of the
King.
The keynote of the program
was “No Other Name”—in sal
vation, in training, and in our
service. Such speakers as Dr.
Walter P. Binns, Dr. I. J. Van
Ness, Dr. William Russell Ow'en,
Dr. Marshall Craig, Dr. W. F.
Pow’ell, Dr. John L. Hill, Dr.
Austin Crouch, and Dr. George
W. Truett brought messages of
power and inspiration. Culture,
riches, morality, pleasure, and
[good deeds will not effect sal
vation—-only the name of Jesus
will. In its objectives and meth
ods our training must be Chris
tian—in No Other Name. Our
service must be for No Other
Name; for there is No Other
Name to give the sinning,
achieving, burdened, and sor
rowing world, which is listening
now for this name of Jesus.
There is no other means on
earth to bring salvation to those
for whom Christ died and no
other ones to tell of His Name
but us. We ai'e on a missionary
tour in the routine of our ordi
nary life. Arc we, as Chris
tians, living up to our highest
obligations? How are we lepre-
senting Jesus Christ now?
The supreme challenge of the
conference is expressed in these
words: “God is waiting to show
the world what He can do with
one life completely dedicated to
Him.”
Misses Galt and Parsons
Heard In Joint Recital
The Sunday afternoon con
cert rendered by the members
of the music department faculty
w-as a joint recital given by Miss
Emily Parsons, professor of
voice, and Miss Martha Galt,
pi’ofessor of piano. This con
cert was mo.st attractive and in
teresting throughout. It was
one of the most woll-liked and
well-received concerts of the
yeai-.
The program opened with a
group of songs which were very
good, and very w’ell done. The
second number on the program
was a group of selections from
Chopin by Miss Galt. These
