Acorn Asks for Contiibutbiis by Angela Toms Although the frightening thought of upcoming midterms may have temporarily stifled any outbursts of creativity, it is time to start thinking about you r cdhtribution to the Acorn this year. The Acorn is now accepting submissions in the areas of poetry, prose, art, and photography. The first deadline for submissions is November 26. The new staff of the Acorn is excited about producing this year’s edition. The staff of editors in cludes Leigh Anne Perkinson as the chief e^tor, Wendy Lovelady as poetry editor, Angela Toms as prose editor. Missy Valentine as the art and photography editor, and Kim Sullivan as the layout editor. Kelly Spaudling, Carol Simons, and Ma^a Pruden are working on publicity. Nan Willaims serves as treasurer, and Mrs. Betty Adcock—a poet-in- residence here a Meredith—serves as an advisor to the Acorn. The Acorn has a long history at Meredith. The eighty-four year old publication started in February 1907. In addition to students’ poetry and prose, the Acorn then contained the students’ jokes, es says, and news in the monthly issues. Over the years, the Acorn changed for monthly to quarterly to semi-annual to its present annu^ state. During this period, the Herald began to report student news and opinions. As I mentioned before, the Acorn staff is excited about this year’s publication. We want to make the magazine exciting and enjoyable, but we cannot without your help. Please place your contributions in the boxes located in Johnson Hall outside of Andrienne Dyson's office and right beside the Herald box or in the library’s photocopy room behind the couch and by ^e window. Centenniat Cormr from t}ie Meredith College Archives photo by Kelly Parker How Meredith Got Its Name “At the meeting of the Baptist State Convention in 1838 a reso lution was introduced by Rev. Thomas Meredith strongly rec ommending the establishment of an institution in Raleigh for the higher education of women. This Resolution was adopted. The in stitution referred to was started in 1891 undff the name of ‘The North Carolina Baptist Female Univer sity.’ It was not until September 27,1899, that the institution was ready for students. Whenitq)ened it was discovered that there were more applicants than could be ac- commo^ted in the one building which had been provided and which occupied one fourth of a city block. The Trustees prompdy secured another building which provided for about 50 students in addition to those housed in the main building. In 1904 Faircloth Hall was built. This adition to the equipment of the College be ing made possible by the gener osity of Chief Justice W.T. Faircloth. In 1905 the name of the institution was changed to ‘The Baptist University for Women.’ In 1910 the name was again changed to ‘Meredith College.’” — from a file on Meredith history in the Archives in Carlyle Campbell Library.
