bigger and better than last
year's.

Resolutions
The following resolutions were
recommended by the under
signed committee as expressing
the unanimous sentiment of the
Wake County Chapter of the
Meredith Alumnae Association:
Whereas it has pleased our
Heavenly Father in His infinite
wisdom to remove Mrs. Richard
Tilman Vann, known and loved
by a host of Meredith alumnae
over the State as the wife of the
revered former president of
Meredith College; and
Whereas this chapter feels
that it has lost a true and loyal
friend, whose heart was kept
young by the depth and sweet
ness of her sympathy, and who
was genuinely interested in all
that concerned Meredith:
Therefore, Be it resolved—
First, That while we have lost
a highly esteemed friend, we are
deeply grateful for what she has
meant in the lives of Meredith
students.
Second, That we hereby ex
press to the family our heartfelt
sympathy for them in their be
reavement.
Third, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the family,
a copy to The Twig, and a copy
be spread upon the records of
the chapter.
