Alice in Wonderland
Will be Given on Feb. 29
Monday, February 29, is
quite appropriately the night of
nights for Meredith students. In
honor of Lewia Carroll’s centen
nial many colleges and literary
organiisations all over America
and England are having special
foatxu‘0 programs. Meredith can
combine observance of his centen
nial with her tradition of bhc
presentation every college
generation of Alicc in Wonder
land by tlie faculty. The invita
tion fs extended to all students
at 8:00 Monday night.
“Come back to childhood with
Alice and her queer comrades in
Wonderland—the faculty! If
you will but let the graceful (?)
and gr^^cious fairies wave the
wand of make-believe over you,
you, too, may enter a wood in
Wonderland. In this country of
contraries you will sec and hear
many strange things—an Eng
lish instructor who smashes the
rules of grammar; a learned
Ph.D. who forgets her dignity
and wears a “purr-petual”
grin; a mere assistant who dares
to lay an audacious hand upon
the academic countenance of the
dignified Dean; the classicist who
congugates in pepper cruets; tlie
chief of the mathematicians who
cannot co>"'.t the time correctly;
a popular English teacher who
snores not in poetical rhythm,
but in plain loud American
prose! Here, also, in delightful
confusion, are to be found stately
personages of the court and
aniusing animals—sights not
otherwise to be seen on our
campus.

R. Kewsome, secretary of the

George Washington stands pre
eminent among tiie fcmnders of
the republic, it is a ^paradoxical
fact that there are few so mis

“Probabl}' none of liis his

real Washington lias been dis
torted in the public mind and
misrepreserrted b}’ propagandists
and moralists wh«) iiave laid un
holy hands on him in order to
give prestige to the cause in
w^hich they were interested.
Though solving the problems of
