Scholastic Honor Clubs
For Students Of Merit
. The most outstanding clubs on the
Mars Hill campus are the scholastic
or honor clubs. Their high scholastic
standard, their educational value,
and the opportunity they offer for
self-expression make them popular
These clubs are six in number. The
Scriblerus Club, or English Club, is
the oldest one. The International Re
lations Club is for those interested
in history, economics, and govern
ments. The Science club comprises
students majoring in science and
mathematics. Those students especial
ly interested in French compose the
French club, while those taking
Latin, Greek, German and Spanish
make up the Foreign Language club.
The Music club, first organized in
the community, offers special ad
vantages to students majoring in
music. There is a possibility that
there will be a club for the business
department next year.
Anyone making “B” on the re
required specific subjects for one
semester, and passing all other
courses, is eligible for membership in
a club.
Mars Hill College has this year a
total of 535 students enrolled, which
is one of the largest enrollments in

of these counties has from one to
sixty-six students, the largest repre
sentation being that of Madison
County. Buncombe is second with

Mr. Hoyt Blackwell, professor of
Bible, with Mrs. Blackwell, returned
to the Mars Hill campus this week
after a prolonged absence of two
years spent in study and travel.
During the first of these two years
“Daddy” Blackwell studied at Yale,
doing reseai'ch work in the New Test
ament. He and Mrs. Blackwell spent
the fall term of this year in study at
the University of Edinburgh, in Scot
land. After the fall term they made
an extended tour of Europe, Asia
Minor, and parts of Africa.
From Edinburgh the Blackwells
went to London, where they visited
St. James and Buckingham Palaces
and witnessed the changing of the
Royal Guard.
Paris, their next stop, was in
their opinion, the best laid out city
they visited. “Daddy” Blackwell also
had a comment on the well-dressed
women in Paris. They saw the Lou
vre, Tomb of Napoleon, Versailles
Palace, and attended a Christmas
service in the Notre Dame Cathedral.
In Milan, Italy, they saw the orig
inal of Leonardo Da Vinci’s paint
ing, “The Last Supper.” A copy of
this famous picture hangs on the
south wall of the Sams Dining Hall
at Mars Hill College. The original,
which is on the cathedral wall in Mi
lan, is rapidly fading and will in the
future fade completely away.
At Florence, Italy, they visited the
De Medici Palace. The Blackwells
thought this the most luxurious sight
they ever saw. ^
In Rome they visited St. Peter s
cathedral and the Vatican City. In
Athens they stood on Mars Hill, where
Paul preached his famous sermon.
There they also saw the Parthenon
and the Tomb of Socrates.
They walked on the street called
Strait in Damascus where Saul went
when he was converted. They also
saw the building from which he was
lowered to escape capture.
The traveling Blackwells spent sev
eral weeks in Jerusalem, visiting

Mars Hill College is a pioneer
Junior College in the South, and
ranks high among all the junior col
leges in the United States. It was
founded in 1856 between North
Carolina’s majestic Blue Ridge and
Smoky Mountains about twenty miles
from the City of Asheville. There are
535 students enrolled this semester,
studying under 27 professors.
The school plant consists of eleven
buildings for administration and dor
mitory use, and seven cottages for
teachers’ and miinsters’ homes. The
institution I'eecived its name from
the selection of its founders, and the
current session closes thirty-eight
years under the present management.
Instruction is offered which leads
to higher study and degi-ees in lib
eral arts, science, and various other
professional courses. Mars Hill Col
lege is fully accredited by every
agency in whose jurisdiction it lies,
being the only pi’ivate co-educational
junior college in the South Atlantic
States thus accredited.
Mars Hill is a member of the
American Association of Junior Col
leges and of the North Carolina Col
lege Association, and is approved by
the American Medical Association.
The work done here corresponds to
the work done in the last two years
of standard high schools and the first
two in standard colleges.
Established with the motto Pro
Christo^ Adulescentibusque, M a r S
Hill has given its services to the state
and nation for 79 years.
