recently notified that she has been
chosen a member of the Mademoi

is due February 15, 1964, she will
submit a brochure. The winners of
the contest will spend June in New

Dr. Grubbs Wos Delegate to
American History Convention
Dr. Frank Grubbs of the history
department was one of the 4,000
delegates present at the 50th an
nual convention of the American
Historical Society, December 28-
30. The meeting was held at the
Sheraton Hotel in Philadelphia. The
purpose of the convention was for
historians from all over the U. S.
to come together and hear papers
in numerous fields.
Dr. Grubbs reports that he at
tended three sessions at the con
vention, two in his fields of Ameri
can and British history, and one
outside of it. In the first session, Dr.
Bernard Bailyn of Harvard pre
sented a paper on the origins of the
American revolution. Dr. Bailyn is
known for his book Education-in
Colonial America. He stated in his
paper that the primary cause of the
American revolution was political.
He was criticized by other historians,
however, for failing to recognize
economic and social causes.
The sccond session Dr. Grubbs.
attended w;is on the reform and i
progressive movements in American '
history. The main paper on thisi
topic was presented by Dr. Forcey, j
who stated that reform movements i
occur every thirty years. His failure
to consider the effect of wars and
his attempt to prcdict every thirty
years were criticized.
An interest in hearing something
out of his field led Dr. Grubbs to
attend a session on medieval Russia.
In addition to the sessions there
was a Presidential Address given by
Professor Crane Brinton of Har
vard. Dr. Brinton expressed a de
sire for historians to write more
comprehensive histories which the
average reader can understand. He
stated that historians need to get out
of their narrow fields.

YRC to Elect
Officers on
February 3
The newly - formed Young Re
publicans Club will meet at eight
o’clock on February 3, in first Fair-
cloth parlor. Mrs. Evelyn Simmons,
who is a member of the economics
department, has agreed to act as
faculty sponsor. She will meet with
those interested in the venture to
elect officers.
Last year, at the prompting of
Mr. Vernon O. Stumpf, then a mem
ber of the history department, Ann
Dean, a senior, did research on the
possibility of forming the club, and
a constitution was drawn up. It was
also felt that the students desired the
formation of a political organization
on the campus. Sue Ellen Moody,
one of those working with the Young
Republicans urges all interested to
attend this February meeting. She
adds that any Meredith student is
eligible for membership.

Jean Tate: “Seriously, 1 try to
find some isolated place which is a
hard thing to find on this campus.”
Lura Penney: “Well, first of all
I sit down and feel sorry for my
self and cry a lot and get in a bad
mood, and make myself hard to live
with; and then I start reading over
my notes. And then my suite sends
me over to the New Dorm.”

Dorsetf Explains NTE Score
Meredith's Record Excellent
A minimum score on the National
Teachers Examination, taken an
nually by perspective teachers, has
been set for certification by the State
Board of Education of North Caro
lina. For all new teachers entering
the field of education, a score of
450 will be required for an A cer
tificate and a score of 500, for a
graduate certificate.
Explanation of the newly-estab
lished score has been made by
Harry K, Dorsett, assistant profes
sor of education. Dorsett has kept
records of student scores for a num
ber of years. He reports that out of
approximately 360 Meredith stu
dents taking the NTE in the past
four years, only one student has
failed to attain a rating of 450.
Dorsctt’s records show that in
1960, five student scores were be
low 500, the middle of the curve
of scores. In 1961, the number be
low 500 was five also. Two stu
dents failed to make 500 in 1962,
and no student fell under 500 in
1963.
Based on his accummulation of
data, Dorsett stated, “Chances of a
girl not making the minimum score
are so remote as to be non-exist
ent.” He added that he hopes an
understanding of the score will les
sen apprehension for students.
