Temporary Buildings Ser>e
Three Dvcades
Dr. Campbell and Mr. Deyton
told the group of the needs of Mere
dith College and reminded them that
in 1926 — when Meredith moved
to its present location — ^here were
five temporary frame buildings: a
chapel and music building, a science
and home economics building, a
general classroom building, a physi
cal education plant, and an infir
mary. There was no building for
alumnae, student activitieR, or home
management.
New Structures Scheduled
The group was also told that
Meredith hud spent approximately
one million and a half dollars for
buildings since moving to the new
campus, but that this construction
had not increased the capacity of
the college because it simply re
placed the temporary buildings. The
group was also told that the pro
gram would include—in addition to
such new structures as buildings for
student activities and physical edu
cation—an infirmary, a library, and
the reriiodeling and refurnishing o'
the dormitories and the dining h;il
and kitchen.
History Class Plans
Williamsburg Trip
A trip to Williamsburg, Virginia,
is being planned by Dr. Keith’s
colonial history class. The group will
leave Meredith tomorrow, Novem
ber 21, and return the following day.
They will visit the governor’s palace,
taverns, shops, and rustic homes of
colonial Williamsburg. Staying at
homes of the typical Williamsburg
style and dining at one of the tav
erns will provide the girls with an
added appreciation of their colorful
heritage.
The group also hopes to visit the
site of the reconstructed Jamestown
settlement, which is a short distance
I'rom Williamsburg.
Dr. Keith will accompany the
girls on this excursion, which has
becomc an annual highlight of the
colonial history course.

IVow Itciiig' Stiiflicci
The deduction of quality points
for excessive absences from physical
education classes has not become of
ficial academic policy, as was stated
in the last issue of the Twig. This
method of attendance control is only
one of the several being considered
at this time by the Instruction Com
mittee. Announcement of official
policy will be made to the student
body when the faculty group com
pletes its study of physical educa
tion requirements. '
The remainder of last issue’s item
— staling that no quality points or
credit hours are being given and that
six semesters of physical education
are still required for graduation —
was correct.
