i (From the B. S. U. President.)
I There is .noth.ing in this world a-
I valuable as friendship. Especially
i -honld .students choose their friends,
j for in them will they live'and' grow
! during their school days. The Bap-
i tist .Student Uuiop of Mars Hill Cei-
; lege K'alizes this and extend.? to all
students a most hearty welcome. NW-
I want to help every student all tha'
1 we can and it is our prayer that tli-e
individual student will trust the B. 8.
U. officers with any problem that en
ters his or her life.
The Baptist Student Union, in iw
bro; lest meaning, indicates the work
tl.p’'' is being promoted by Southern
Baptist? with the Baptist students, in
the schools and colleges of the ’South.
In its more limited meaning the Bap-,
tist Student Union indicates three
things: First, the unified religious
work of Baptist students of a single
school; second, the work for stu
dents of a single state as promoted
by state mission forces; third, the
work amongBaptist students through
out the South.
The Baptist Student Union con
sistently magnifies the church. 1:
urges and popularizes with students
the various unit organizations of the
church. It is the connecting link be
tween the college and the churcli.
It is uncompromising in its insistence
upon the church being Christ’s first
means and method for winning a lost
world.
The Baptist Student Union repre
sents, includes, and unifies all the
Baptist religious activities on the
campus. All unit organizations, such
as the Sunday School, the B.Y.P.U.,
the College Church, the Y.W.A., the
Ministerial Conference, etc., are all
integral parts of the B.S.U. To be
come a member of any religious or
ganization on the campus is to join
the B.S.U.
The B.S.U. takes this opportunity
to place itself at your service, and
only wants a chance to prove to new
Mars Hill students that its undying
sense of duty and faithful love offers
a source of help and companionship
that will live throughout their school
years.
We understand that some students
find it hard to reach Mars Hill, and to
simplify this we can offer a few sug
gestions. First, when you leave the

WESTERN NORTH
CAROLINA’S OUT
STANDING ASSET
(-1 Message from the Vtce-
President.)
The business world is alert to the
monetary value of things. In fact the
world judges institutions and things
by their monetary value to society.
Our chambers of commerce boost
good roads so that tourists may come
and spend their money; they throw-
out inducements to factories. for +he
money-value they may be to the com-
i^nity.
But there are values quite as es
sential to the life and welfare of a
people as those feckoned in dollars
and cents. .4nd these are the com
munities’ spiritual forces, those un
seen, intangible values that render a
locality hospitable, and make attract
ive appeals to home-seekers.
Mars Hill College is 'Western
North Carolina’s outstanding spirit
ual asset. It does not pretend to take
the place of the church, but it stands
as the church’s strongest ally in en
couraging and directin.g the lives of
the mountain youths in the ways of
u.sefulness and service. Here they are
taught that the best in life is attained
by simple living and 'high thinking.
Here they learn that a young man
can get along, and even attain sue-
ces.? in his clas.ses, without the use of
an automobile. In our environment

TRI-COUNTY MEDICAL MEET
HELD HERE
The regular meeting of th-a Tri-
County Medical Society was held
here in the Clio-Phi Society hall of
the college last Thursday afternoon
at 1:30. There were fifteen doctors
present for the meeting.
About the Opening
r=^i
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8
The entire day will be given to
the registration of first year col
lege students. All who live near
should be on hand not later than
8:30 A. M., the Others following
as rapidly as possible and in al
phabetic order as nearly as may
be.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9
The registration of all others
will proceed while first year college
men and women meet in the cha
pel for a series of talks and a pe
riod for getting acquainted and a
brief trip to Little Mountain if
the weather permits. It is hoped
that every student will have com
pleted registration before supper
and that all may join in a twilight
service either on the campus or at
Locust Grove, conducted by Dr.
O. E. Sams.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10
All classes will meet according
to schedule for the assignment of
lessons and a preview of the
courses offered. At eleven o’clock
all will gather in the chapel for the
first assembly program of th^ year.
The pastor of the First Baptist
Church of Asheville, Dr. William
Russell Ow-en, attractive and force
ful speaker, a lover of young peo
ple and loved by them, w-ill briig
the message. Parents and fried?
are invited to be present. The
prayer meeting groups before the
evening period of study should
find every student in attendance.
Because I can more regularly and eas
ily contribute at the college
church.
Because in niy church covenant I
agreed that I would join the church
in any new center to which I
moved. The time element demands
it now.
Because I believe it is the teaching of
the Scripture that 1 should join the
church where I go to live. I find
but one kind of church relation
ship mentioned in the Scripture:
i. e., outright church membership.
Because I note that after college
days the graduates who go to a
community to teach,—to live for
only one year, — usually join the
church, or they are admonished to
do so.
Because I do not care to become a
“church tramp,” or a “spiritual
derelict” while I am in college. I
can help avoid this by joining the
church.
Because I desire now to form the life-
habit, once for all, of loyalty, thru
close contact with my church.
Because I am no longer a child, but
am amply able to assume seriously
the duties and enjoy the privileges
of a church member.

August 2, when the girls of Spilman
entertained the boys of Melrose with
a watermelon cutting on the campus.

It may be of interest to’ the old
students who are away from the Hill
this summer to kn.ow just what old or
new friends remained behind to hold
the fort during the summer months.
Below are the names. Elsewhere in
this issue are. stories, of what good
times or otherwise we enjoyed dur
ing the pleasant days of summer in
the mountains.
According to the report from the
Registrar’s office, a total of one hun
dred and fifteen enrolled for the first
term of summer school. The nfimber
enrolled w-as somewhat below the es
timation. The smaller enrolment
seems* due to the fact that summer
school opened earlier than usual thi,s
year.
Those teaching in the first term
were Mr. Carr, director, history;
Mrs. Robinson, mathematics; Mr.?.
Roberts, French; Mr. Huff, I.«atin;
Mr. Juredine, chemistry; Mr. Tren-
tham, biology; Mr. McLeod and Miss
Pierce, English; Miss Harms, Span
ish; Mr. England, Bible; Mr. Grubbs,
history and government; Miss Bow
den, art.
The second term of summer'school
op‘ned with an enrolment of 70, a
fair average for the latter half of ■
summer. Mr. Lee was director of the
second school. Those of the Faculty
who taught during the latter term
were: Mr. Lee, history’ and educa
tion; Mr. Grubbs, history; Mr. Huff,
Latin; Mr. England, mathematics;
Mr. Trentham, biology; Mr. McLeod,
English; Mrs. Roberts, French.
