The alnmnae program broadcast over
station WFTP, Raleigh, 6:15.fi:45, on
Pi-iday, February 5, concluded the
PoHnders’ Day exercises of Meredith
College in commemoration of its thirty-
third year of operation. While Mere
dith does not have an alumnae home
coming on Founders' Day, the college
was carried to them by means or this
broadcast.
The College Gloe Club, under the di
rection of Miss R’thel Rowland ,of the
voice department, opened the prog^m
with two lovely numbers, “Rain” and
“Dawn,” by Curran. After these, Mrs.
Maude Davis Bunn, president of the
general Alumnae Association, extended
greetings to the alumnae. This was
followed by a violin solo by Mlsa Mary
llrocliwell, of Qoldaboro, accompanied
by Miss Virginia Branch, of the college
wiHBlc faculty. Then name the reading
oC telegrams, and messages received
during tho day from chapters, clubs,
groups, and Individual alumiiae. Fol
lowing these President Brower spoke.
Dr. Vann's boautitul "Alma Mater,”
dear to the heart of every alumna, was.
the concluding number.
The fact that In approximately forty
communities in North Carolina and
sevoral centers in other states, alumnae
held meetings in honor of Founders’
Day to hear the special broadcast, gives
evidence that the Meredith sphit pre
vails throughout alumnae ranks. The
variety of messages sont by former
students from within and without the
State, and from those who in thelv
student days knew the college as Bap
tist Female University, Baptist Uni
versity for Women, and Meredith Col
lege, gives further evidence of their
loyalty to and love for the college,
