Lyman) The most phenomenal thing In Korth Carolina Colleges history haa occurred on the Elon College campus during the paBt five; montbB. A ter rible Are on the morning of January 11th reduced the administration bull ding of Elon College to a smoulder ing mass of ruins. In UiIr building was housed practically all the college equipment, and moat or the class rooms were situated. In the build ing was the library, the domestic science department, the commercial department, the department of appli ed arts, and all the literary society halls. The loss was larger than could be measured in dollars. In spite of this loss students and faculty with a grim determination went forward with the work of the col lege year. Not a student left the campus, and only one day of work was lost. They set themselves to the task of rebuilding and carrying on the work with undiminished fores re gardless of the loss which the college had sustained. The recent commence ment brought to a close one of the moBt successful years In the history of the college. The Board of Trustees met on Jan uary 24th and outlined the most gi gantic program which any denomlna tlonal oollege In the South has yet undertaken. Many doubted the pos sibility of the realization of the pro gram, but within less than six months after It was arranged by the Board of Trustees the program Is far toward reality. The program provided for seven new buildings to replace ttte old ad ministration building. F"lv>? of these buildings were to be erected at once, and construction is already begun on three of these, and the ground Is cleared frr a fourtn. The contractors '{eel confident that two Of these build ings will be ready by thtyopenlng of the next college year on September 5. Two of tli? proposed buildings are dormitories, and will be erected later Advises 10,000 Dr. O. Latham Hatchqr.rocci.tly elected president of tho Southern Women'* Kducatlonal Alliaiico at Richmond, Va., will be tho voca? tlon'.l advisor to 19,000 Soutben* piils. as they are needed.. Added to this re building program on which three hundred thousand dollars will be spent at once Is the proposed increase endowment of the college; an In crease of three hOnilred thousand dollars. Elon has long been an A-i coilcge, and Its work in the fleld of education lias brought the highest approbation from the Governor or the state and from the late superintendent Brooks. Tte added equipment, however, and the enlarged facilities of the college Will enable Elon to do a greater edu cational work for the state. The Christian Church founded Fllor College Thirty-three years ago, and the college Is still supported largely by the Christian church, but Elon has always been a religious democracy. Every denomination is " given freely of its service, and no preference is shown to its own denomination. Dur ing the past year there were seven denominations represented ln._the fac ulty, and ten In- the student body of the college. All of the denominations worked together harmoniously, and supported together the Religious Ac tivities Organization which unites all the varied religious activities of the campus, and looks after the religious needs of the college. The facts at test the tolerant spirit of the college, and the fine, way in which it sends forth from its halls men and women with stalwart Christian characters equipped to be of service in the civic and religious life In any community in which they live. The five buildings wheh will be con- j structed at once will form a quad rangle with the new administration building at the center This new ad ministration building is much larger than the burned building, and will far more adequately care for the needs of the college. Xt was tlie gift of Ala mance county in whose borders the college stands. There Is notMng which proves the true worth of an Individ ual or institution so much as the es teem of the people about bim or It. This worth is amply attested by the gift of hundred thousand dollars by the people of Alamance county for the erection of this building on the Elon campus. It will be called the "Ala mance Hall," and will' stand as the lasting memorial of the love and de votion of the people among whom the college stands. The two buildings which will occu py the two Southern corners of the quadrangle are the science hall and the Whitley Memorial building in which the auditorium and music de partment of the college will be locat ed. The Whitley Memorial building was the gift of J. M. Dardon of Suf folk, Va. Mr. Darden ' Is one of the moat devoted friends of the college, at d the building is given la memory of the father-in-law of the donor who was throughout his life one of the most loyal supporters of the college. In the science hall the departments of physics, chemistry, geology and biology will find ample room for their needs. Each floor has been outlined by the professor whose department will occupy It after a careful study of the particular needs of tlie depart ment. The best science buildings all ever the country have been studied, and their strong points Incorporated In the Elon building. This will give Klon one of the best science buildings In the state or In the South. The Northern corners of the quad tangle will be occupied by the Carl ton Memorial building and the Relig ious Activities building. The Carlton building will house the library of the college, and will have a capacity of tne hundred thousand volumes. It will be equipped with the bei t reading rooms, and every modern library tqulpmcnt will be Installofl The religious activities building will be a unique building. No similar bull ding now stands on any college cam pus In America. The building orlg lnated with the Elon religious edu cation department, and plans wore drawn under Its supervision. Loaders In tha fleld of religious education all over -the country have been consult ed regarding the plana, and they heartily endorse the Idea.

This organization will occupy . tUe building with the religious edu cation department, and will function, at it has for the past two years, as the laboratory of religious education, This arrangement gives Elon a leader ship In the field of religious educa tion and enables the departments to ut< lte theory and practice in the work, and to give to the church loaders in every line of endeavor. Tho marvellous success wbt?h the Elon rebuilding program has attain ed is due largely to the untiring ef fort s of the President, Dr. W. A. Harper. He has had the loyal sup port of the church, and of the many friends of the college. tlou <vas built thirty-three year3 ago .vith ter rible sacrifice, and It has grown by< sacrifice; grown larger, and grown Into the hearts of the people whom it serves in church and state. Up from a heap of ashes and smoul dering ruins Elon has ri3cn majesti cally. There were tears In the voice tf the president as he faced his stu dents on the morning ot the fire. There was pain in the heartj of stu dents and faculty, and a shadow rest ed pall-ltke over all, but the tears have turned songs, and the pain has turned joy. The shadow fleos b?tore the breaking of a radiant dawn. A day rich in opportunities, and glor ious in service awaits this small de nominational college so marvellously risen from its ruins. 1 imothy-Eunice-Lois C ia&s En tertains the Men's Bible Class Sunday, June 30, marked the close of the second quarter of this year and also the close of the attendance con test between the Men's Bible Class and the T.
