“THE CROSBY Adams—Artists”
(Continued from page 1)
By this time Mrs. Adams was
thoroughly dissatisfied with the
way music was being taught. Af
ter thinking about this problem a
great deal, it suddenly occurred to
her to write her own ideas down,
and also to write pieces for pupils
which would sound grown-up, but
be simple enough for children to
play. She carried out her ideas
and was soon using them in a
school which she and Mr. Adams
established. After years of suc
cessful teaching, they built their
dream home here in Montreat.
Thirty-five years ago they came
to Montreat “to retire,” but they
still amaze their friends by the
number of things they accomplish.
No one could guess by the full
life they lead that both of them
have recently celebrated their
ninetieth birthday anniversary.
Mrs. Adams still gives concerts
and will give her annual one here
at the college on April 10. She
will play several of her own
compositions and those of other
composer? as well.
The Adamses live quietly and
simply in the “House in the
Woods” surrounded by the charm
ing atmosphere of which they
are the center. Their life is full
of “the beautiful” and friends
visiting there soon find them
selves taking turns telling of the
most beautiful thing they have
ever seen.
Perhaps their great success and
happiness come from their always
looking into- the future, from their
great love for each other, and
from their love of beauty. They
are artists and their life is a work
of true art.

FROM THE PRESIDENT:
(Continued from page 2
We are using the Lakeside Bookstore as a classroom building for the
Business Department. The classroom adjoining the library has been
made a part of it, increasing the Library space and usefulness. All
offices of the College have been more conveniently located on the same
floor. Miss Helen Miles and students of the Home Economics Depart
ment have refinlshed and redecorated the living rooms of Lookout
Lodge, adding much to its attractiveness. The old cafeteria has been
closed and the girls and faculty have been much better cared for in
the dining room of the Assembly Inn. The Board of Trustees have voted
to purchase a building for the Music Building and we confidently
expect to have this before the beginning of next fall term. Use of the
Collegiate Building has added to our Recreational facilities for the
year.
Every growing institution has needs. Montreat is no exception. We
are confident that our needs are going to be supplied through the gen
erosity of those who rejoice in what we are doing and are able to have
a share in it. Every institution looks to its Alumnae for their own in
terest and influence which will bring an ever enlarging circle of friends
to its support. The greatest accomplishment will come as we are join
ed together for fervent prayer.
Montreat College and School was built by the Church through its
institution. The Mountain Retreat Association. We are confident that
its future is as certain and promising as the strength and life of;the
Presbyterian Church.
We would cordially urge you to come for our Commencement. We
anticipate your visit with genuine delight.
Cordially and faithfully yours,
J. Rupert McGregor
President
