Similar Courses of Study and
Calendar for Both
Divisions
Seeking a closer coordination ot the-
work and Interests of our denomina
tional colleges, Wake Forest, which Is
now entering on its second century of
service in North Carolina, and Mere
dith College, now rounding out its 36th
year of service, combined their forces
in the summer sessions ot 1933 and '34.
In the summer of 1935 Meredith and
Wake Forest arfiliated with Mars Hill
College, a Christian Institution in the
western part of tbe state, whicli has
been in operation tor more than three-
quarters ot a century. This institution
is cooperating with Meredith and Wake
Forest in every way possible to make
the work and tbe spirit of the Summer
School Sessions unsiu'pussed.
Definite plans have been formulated
for the operations of the 1936 'Wake
Forest-Meredith Summer School, The
summer school bulletin will be ready
for distribution in the near future. It
is now assured, however, that courses
will bo offered in art, economics, Eng
lish, education, hygiene and health ed
ucation, history, languages, mathemat
ics, music, psychology, religion, sci
ence, sociology, and pliyslcal education.
Thero will bo two-divisions, one at
Mars Hill aud another at Wake Forest,
which will be virtually identical in
courses of study, credit, and calendai'.
Both units will open June 10. The six-
weeks session will close July 18 and the
nine-weeks session, August S.
In an Interview, Mr. Tyner, who will
be in charge ot the Mars Hill division,
stated that a number of inquiries are
being received relative to the summer
session, and there axe Indications that
the enrollment will be very much larger
titan that of last sunitner, especially in
the Mars Hill division.
There are two main purposes of this
euordinatlon ot the three schools—to
help those who wish to make up work,
and to enable students to complete un
dergraduate work ill a shorter period
of time.
Summer school then is an integral
part ot the regular school year and stu
dents may earn from nine to ton semes*
ter hours toward degrees in each of the
summer sessions.
Also special provision Is made dur
ing summer school for teachers in serv
ice and tor others who wish to do ad
vanced studying.

RESUME OF MEREDITHS HISTORY
By FRANCES TATVM
It has been over one hundred years
since K committee was appointed by
the Baptist State Convention to report
on the Hdvlaablllty ot establishing an
institution for young women. The
committee was composed ot Thomas
Meredith, John Armstrong, and W. H.
Powell; their report met with no re
sults, and in 1838 Thomas Meredith ad
vised the convention thot nn institu
tion for young women should be estab
lished. No definite results were reached
until 1888, the year of the meeting ot
the convention in Greensboro; It was
decided at this meeting to appoint a
committee to investigate the matter.
A charter was secured from the legis
lature in 1891.
The oollege opeiied in 1699 with Mr.
tj. C. Blaslngame as president; it was
built on the Pullen property in the cen
ter of Halelgh, Meredith was first called
the Baptist Female University; in 1905
it became the Baptist University for
Women. Dr. R. T. Vann, who was pres
ident of the institution from 1900-1916,
suggested the name of Meredith in hon
or ot Thomas Meredith.
Meredith is a member of the Southern
Association of University of Women aud
the Association of American Universi
ties.
Many of the organizations for extra
curricular activities are almost as old
as the college. Tbe Astrotekton aud
Phllaretlan literary societies and the
gleeolub were organized iu 1899. The
Oak Leaves was first published in 1904,
and the Aoom two years later. The Twig
made its first appearance in 1921, The
Y, W. C. A., organized in 1902, was re
placed in 1937 by the Baptist Student
Union.
On Jtinuury 6, 1920, Meredith was
moved to a new site, The new build
ings were named in honor ot its found-
ors. Vann Hall is named In honor of
the beloved former president; Fair-
cloth Hall for Judge Faircloth who gave
the money for the building by the same
name at old Meredith. Jones Hall is
numed in honor of Mr. W. N. Jones, who
was president of the Board of Trustees
for several years. Johnson Hall was
nomed In 1931 for Dr. Livingston John
son, editor of the Biblical Recorder tor
many years, and Strlngfleld Hall for Mr.
0, L. Strlngfield, a Baptist minister
active in founding the college and In
