PIANO CONCERT MARCH 8
Liquid Air Holds Student Interest
By FRANCES PITTMAN
On Friday night. March r>, in the col
lege auditorium, Dr. Elliott James up
set many carefully worked out plana.
Long anticipated maps, purposely put-
off correspondences, many important
and divers activities, he ruthlessly in
terrupted, When first the audicnce,
coercively gathered, arrived, the novel
ty of the appearance of the lecturer's
platform was a sumclent inducement
to postpono the aforementioned plans.
Ill the world's history, it has always
been a matter of some note that tlie
eyes and fancies of children and sav-
Hges are forcibly attracted by glitter
ing, shining objects.
The ' lecturer began his seemingly
paradoxical subject with eciually poi’a-
doxical statements which proved un
deniably interesting. Now the name
"liquid air” is enough to set one won
dering, but when a supposedly reliable
scientist tells us that boiling is a cool-
iug process, one wonders it science lias
not taken such rapid strides that it
has become unattached mentally. Need
less to any, from the very beginning
Dr. James hud hia audience In for them,
un unprecedented state—one of com
plete absorption and interest—and in-
tcrost in what the lecturer was saying,
at that.
According to Dr. James as soon as
air becomes cold enough, it begins to
boll, and we have litiuul air, If, is then
at a temperature ot 312 degrees below
zoro, Fahrenheit, or—192 degrees, Cen
tigrade, or to phrase it more within the
realm of the Ignorant, "ice Is 344 de
grees hatter than liquid air."
We might have doubted what we were
told, but Dr. Jamoa was prepared for
just such an unenlightened group as
ourselves. He actually showed us that
his statement was absolutely true,
□arring the possibility of llluBlons or
hallucinalioDB, we saw it begin to boil

An Educational Pioneer
By KATHERINE SHUFORD
In its convention at Spartanburg,
S. C., last May, tho A. A. U. W., very
fittingly named its fellowship fund in
honor of Miss Elizabeth Avery Colton,
one of the South’s outstanding educa
tional pioneers. This fund is supposed
to total one million dollars, forty thou
sand of which the North Carolina Divi
sion of the South Atlantic section of the
assouation has pledged itself to raise.
At Meredith, efforts are now being made
in various ways to add. to this fund,
for Meredith takes a special pride in
Miss Colton’s triumphs, since it was
here, as head of tho English depart
ment thill she did her greatest work
tor the education of women in the
South.
She 'was born in the Indian terri
tory in 1S72, the daughter of James IT.
and Blolac Avery Colton. Her child
hood was spent in the western part of
the state. Her education she received
from Statesville Female College, Mount
Holyoke, and Columbia University.
After teaching at Wellesley for a num
ber of years, Miss Colton came to Mero-
dith, then the Baptist Female Uni
versity, where sbo spent thirteen years
in active service, in giving hersolf un
tiringly not only to th» work ot the
college, but to a greatly needed study
of the schools and coltegos for women
all over the South.
In a pamphlet entitled ‘‘Elizabeth
Avei'y Colton, An Educational Pioneer
in the State," Dr. Majt Lynch Johnson
writes, “Her intensive work at Mere
dith is an Indication of her large work
for the highor education of women in
the South. She was for years a mem
ber of the exocutive committee of the
Association ot Colleges and Secondary
Schools ot the Southern States. For
some time before she came in 1914 to
the presidency of the Southern Abso-
ciatlon of College 'Women, she was the
