SUBSCRIPTION PRICE -*1,7» To Miss Ida— She sat ]>e(m-e uii easel. Slie would paint, She said, lit colors soft aud warmly blent, With bi'iisihes sensitive to her intent, The radiant portrait of a living saint. Her In-uah moved eusll.v. without restraint. Aud soon the face api>eared in lineament Aud tiien In colors exquialtely faint. When she was fluished, eighty years were spent. Consummato art. No hint of selfishness Cast its dull shadow, not the slightest trace Of pride or tear, of grief or bitterness Dimmed the soft i-apture of the lovely face. Slie rose and laid the brushes on the shelf. And looked: and lo. the portrait was hei'self! Thus Dr. Edwin McNeil! Poteat, nephew of “Miss Ida," has made a word portrait of her. And in the heart of ever}' Meredith girl will live the memory of this beloved teacher. Meredith and “Miss Ida” have become synonymous. Her gift of love and beauty to all of us can never be measured. She was the friend and adviser of every girl, and to her we owe in a great degree the spirit of friendliness and helpfulness that we find on our campus. Although .she lived more than four score years, she remained young in spirit, and a source of constant pleasure to all who came in contact with her. The words of the poet. “A thing of beau ty is a ,joy forever.” truly fitted the .spirit of “Miss Ida.” She saw beauty in everything, and had the groat gift of showing it to itthers. Her rooms, full of hur souvenirs and coileciions of works of art of all type.s. wtire a (ilace lo which both teachers and students luvt-d to go for a friendly talk and an ins|)iration always. It seems impos.sil)le lo imagine our campus without the geiUle presence of •‘Miss Ida,” but her spirit will always seem near, for love and gratitude to her will never rlie here. “Miss Ida” has given us an ideal of the “life beautiful” that we may always k‘t'|) a-4 "a star to guide us." Those Grades Again! Now ihat examinations are over, and the gripes and the snow have both nearly left our campus, one great blight remains. Give ui>? If you’ll listen and not too clo.sely you’ll hear sonu' very familiar piirases—"I know i dunked that course"—or (proudly) “1 didn't crack a book all semester''— ■'She made A’s on everytliing”—“How will 1 ever break the news lo mother?" —and so on iiidetinitely. The comment has been made by a number til' outsiders, that grades at Meredith seem to be con.-iidered entirely too -iyniliciiiit. Of course there is hoiiui- to hijrh scholarship but the dilli- culty comes in ihe danger of losing sight of the jjurijusi; behind our study, in the coiisideralioii of how high a score we may gain as a rev.ard for our knowl edge. Almost all of us are guilty of these pi'overbiai “grade g^il'es” now and then. There are sevft-al types of ofl'eiiders, h;rs see wliich categu'y you may fall in: 1. The student who wnriies every- me with her gi'ade trouljles, is [losilive (hat she will fail everything, aud then is li.-'lt'il iiu the tirst honor roil. 2. The Kii'l who does not study the entii'i' year, and then cannot under stand why hei- grades were so poor. The student who !i\’es to male all A's, spends ali of her time on her studies, and weeps if she makes a mere i:. 4. Tho.se who boast that they never study, when everyone knows they do. l-)o you find yourself in here? If not, you are an ideal student, one who studies well, but not constantly who wants to do well in her cour.ses, but not for the honors involved and one who does not inflict her grade ditti- culties on others.
