PAGE FOUR THE TWIG February 1, 1935 Thomas A. Avera of Rocky Mount Founders’ Day Speaker Today (Continued from page one) and the dlfflcultles so many that the pvojoct was abaiuloned and allowed to sleep for 60 years.” But the eloquent plea of Thomas Meredith was not for gotten and fitting tribute has been paid him in the naming of the Institution. “He knew then, as we know now,” said Mr. Avera, "that the highest product of social evolution Is the growth of the civilized home—the home that only a wise, cultivated and higli-minded wo man can make.” Purpose of Foiiiidcrs Mr. Avera went on to state that the purpose o£ Meredith and the otlier founders of the college was not simply to Impart learning and culture. “While it is desirable that the civilized home in its growth and development have within it a wise, cultivated and high- minded woman, it Is essential that she be a Christian woman. To that end the founders of this institution dedicated their lives, to that sacred purpose those of us who carry on are committed. Up on the basic principle that this Institu tion gives not alone learning and cul ture to the young women who enter here, but the doctrines and teachings of Jesus Christ, Meredith rests and will forever rest, for in so doing is she secure." Trlliut« Puid tu Other Lenders The love of Jesus was the inspira tion which led a great many others be sides Meredith, Armstrong, and Merritt, to work and sacrifice that there might be established a Baptist College for Wo men in this state. "It was the love of Jesus," Mr. Avera said, ‘‘that inspired O. L. Stringfield, when methods of transportation were poor, and difficul ties many, to forget all interest of self and press on to lay this institution on the iiearts of the Baptist masses of the State. It was the love of Jesus that caused the sweet spirited and lovable Dr. R. T. Vann, with us still, God bless him, to follow the star of his hope with struggle and toil that seemed like mad ness of despair, when all but faith had fled, until the jewel of his heart was firmly established among the Institu tions of higher education for young wo men. Today God rewards him as he is permitted to look upon this great in- .stitution with an enrollment of 521 stu dents, and modern equipment for which we may all feel justly proud. Indeed, my friends, the love of Jesus has given us Jones, Hunter, Johnson, Broughton, Pullen, Kesler, Carrol and many others, who have labored, sacriflced and served, that the young women who are educated here may enter life's field to love Him even as they had loved, to serve Him oven tho better." Iti speakinK r>t‘ the joy of serving as epitumixed by the founders of Meredlllj College, Mr, Avera said, “Do not miss the joy ol' servinj;.

We are living In a different world from timt in which Meredith was founded. We have pro gressed, so that today we girdle the con tinent witli iron rods, knit cities to gether with meshed wires, deliver the human voice from continent to con tinent almost as soon as it is spoken, ride in comfortable automobiles over roads that stretch like ribbon across the vast and beautiful distance, and ride upon the air with such speed that we cross the Atlantic within almost a day and night. Each day brings some new invention, each year marks a fresh ad vance. the power of production In creased, and the avenues of exchange cleared and broadened. Yet, complaint of “hard times" Is louder and louder, and on every liand men are harassed by care and haunted by the fear of want, and but for the provision of a govern ment that seeks to give us a New Deal, thousands of hungry men and women would continue in want in a land of plenty.” In closing his address, Mr. Avera gave an inspiring apostrophe to the col lege. "Long live thee, Meredith! Re spected by mankind, beloved of all thy daughters, lilted with the free magnani mous spirit, crowned by wisdom, blessed by moderation and hovered over by the guardian angels of our Founders' ex ample. Long through the undying ages may you stand, far removed from bigo try, selfishness and strife, alone in your grandeur and glory, the immortal monument of those whom Providence commissioned to found thee, to teach the power of Truth, and to prove to nations that their Redeemer liveth.” Dr. Koo, of Shanghai, Speaks To Students in Chapel (Continued from page one) racial hostility and friendliness, and international war and international peace. The conclusion reached by Dr. Koo is that the gradual emergence of the world from the existing order depends upon student attitudes. You and I, he said, in our every thought and action, have a part in it.
