Editorial A]rsRig^^9(1dillie^(bdd The last days of Februaiy and the first days of March reflected several new endings as well as beginnings. All were refreshing and much needed breaks. Meredith began her celebration of one hundred years of existeiKe. Amid addresses by ^ch distinguished individuals as Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Coruior and diving into a giant birthday Cake, the college community embarks on its seccmd century of higher education f»' women. On the eve of the celebration kick-off, Meredith's Board of Trustees made an historic move that will surely be chi«nicled in the history of Meredith's second century. On Friday, February 22, 1991, the Board agreed to no longer allow the Baptist State Convention to selea Meredith Letters to the Editor/ Articles Policy Statement Everyone in the Meredith community is invited to write a letter to the editor or submit an article concerning any subject of Interest to the Meredith community.

Weems and the board members- are to be congratulated for taking this bold and decisive step to prevent a fundamentalist takeover of the college, protecting the philosophical and religious freedoms of its professors and students. A cloud which has dampened the spirits of our community and the worid at large was lifted as the war in the Gulf came to arelativdy speedy conchision Newspapers fUled front pages with color photographs of beribboned and smiling fomilies welcoming home their loved ones. We cherish their happiness and hope for the safe return of all of those who remain in the Gulf as well as those serving throughout the world. Spring Break offered nine days of much-needed R & R as students hit the beaches for fun in the sun, headed to the mountains for snow'skiing, or just went home to relax. With renewed vigor, seniors will begin counting the Meredith offers variety Editor's note: llie following letter was published in the Raleigh News & Observer on Feb. 21, 1991 and was submitted to the Meredith Herald by the author. In reference to the Meredith Cc^ege seminar on planning one's wedding, it is important not to stereotype the programs that Meredith offers. For instance, we are also having a seminar on planning one’s resume. Meredith is a college with many opportunities to grow and learn about oneself while gaining many insights and opportunities for the future. Mere^th is a fine place for women to acquire and expand on important leadership days until graduation and the beginning of life in the real world. Tests and term papers don't seem such large olMtacles when the end is in sight. Warm weather beckons and, trading heavy winter sweaters for cotton t-shirts and shorts, on& can almost feel the clouds of February and mld>terms slipping away. Studying for finals can't be that hard if you can hit the books while working on a tan. All of these events refresh the soul and invite a rejuvenatedspirit to take hold. Brings to mind a favorite passage by Robert Browning: The yearns at the springs And day's at the mom; Moming*s at seven; The bill-side's dew-pearled; The lark's on the wing; The snail*s on the thorn: God's in his heaven— AlVs right with the worldf -Pippa Passes, introduction skills. Academics are important- as well as the variety of clubs and organizations. Tliere are different kinds of optional seminars offered, as well as extensive travel abroad. The career service department also provides several opportunities to expand on one's career choice. As Meredith reaches our centennial year, we are proud to be one of the best women’s colleges in the country. Planning a wedding is what most people everywhere do at one time or another. But with many facets of opportunities, Meredith emphasizes our knowledge that we can achieve any goals through our full and healthy lives.
