Chamber of Commerce Holds
Annual Dinner at Meredith
The annual dinner of the Chamber
of Commerce, the 4.'!th similar event
of the organization, was held in the
dining room of ^[eredith on Friday
evening, .ianuary 2J. Included in the
upproxinmtely :{7n present were many
prominent guests, a number of whom
were from out of town.
'ihe {liimer was in charge of the
following c'ommittoe: Jl. S. Busbec,
Dalla.s Hohnnan, C. H. Robertson,
./onathaii Daniels, and John A. Park,
Dr. S, Ralph Harlowe. professor at
Smith College, Northampton, Mas
sachusetts, spoke to the Meredith stu
dents twice on last Tuesday, At the
chiipel exercises he spoke on the power
of Christ in foreign countries. In the
afternoon he spoke to the League of
Women Voters on the National Re
covery Act. Quoting Harold Lasky he
praised the American students for
their great knowledge of public affairs,
but as to responsibility, no group of
students felt that less than those of
this country. I-Iis discussion of the
NRA was from a hunmn interest point I
of view rather than from an acadomic '
point of view, '
Roosevelt was praised for his sin
cerity, courage, and the fact that ho
has dime something. There are live
eniluring contributions which Dr. Har
lowe pointed out and explained: that
the workers of America have a right
to organize, the new attitude toward
child labor, the changing pliychologi-
cal attitude of the multitudes of i)cople
ill our country toward distribution of
wealth, the Pi'o.sident's recognition oE
the greater unselfishness necessary in
l)uilding an economic order, and the
organizatioir of the C. C, C. Camps
and public works as temporary
measures i'or inunediate relief.
On the other hand the NRA is fail-
ing to take the roots of the trouble
away. As long as the profit system
is at the iieart of the NUA there is
not going to be any la.stiug rocovery.
There are also certain features which '

FOUNDERS' DAY HYMN DEDICATED TO MEREDITH AND SUNG
BY COLLEGE CHOIR FOR FIRST TIME
The Dedication Hymn which was
-sung at Ftiunders' Day exercises was
written by Russell nrougliton, and has
been dedicated by him to the Meredith
College chcilr. At the meeting of the
American Guild of Organists in
Chicago last summer, several of the
organists renuirked on the fact that
there had never been a hymn written
especially for Founders’ Day, As a
result of this discussion, Mr. Brough
ton, who is director of the music at
a church out from Cleveland, Ohio and
has done (julte a bit of composing, de
cided to write a Founders’ Day hymn.
Ihe Hymn which was sung yesterday
for the first time any where by the
Meredith faculty and students is soon
to be published by Oliver Ditson
Company us an omdal Founders' Day
Hymn for colleges,
S. W, Meyer has written the follow
ing appropriate words to accompany
Mr, Broughton's music;
We build our school on Thee, 0 Lord
To Thee we bring our common need;
The loving heart, the helpful word.
We work together in Thy sight.
We live together in Thy love;
(Juide Tliou our falt'ring stops aright,
Aiul lift our thoughts to beav'n above,
M'dd Thou Oiicli hand to keep it just,
Touch Thou our li))s and make them
pure;
If Thm art with us. Lord, we must
Be faithful friends and comralos sure.
We build our school on Thee, O Lord
To Thee we bring our common need;
The loving heart, the helpful word.
Ihe tender thought, the kindly deed. | The tender thought, the kindly deed, I studies here.
