Robert H. Wright, ot Durham, In lov ing memory and perpetuation ot hon or to her. And as a fitting climax ot the glorious gpcaslon the gracious benefactor announced another gift ot 150,000 to the already established loan fund of the college. The services were held at Louiaburg Methodist Church at 11 o'clock Tues day and were opened with a hymn af ter which Rev. O. W. Dowd, pastor ot the church and a trustee of the col lege offered prayer. President A. W. Mohn of the college made the an nouncements for the service and in troduced thespeaker for the occasion Rev.

He said Mr. Wright's heart is right and in his desire to help peo ple "he will get more joy out of life than he can get out of making hii money. After all it is a life of serv ice to one's fellows- that brings the consoling satisfaction in later years In his interpretation of the meaning of this building to the girls of North Carolina he likened it unto a cornel stone, built of the spirit of Jesui Chrlvt, upon which is built the struc ture of a christian character. A corn er stone built tor show or upon whlcti to display names counts for nothing in generations to come except in so far as" it actually promotes and builds a christian influence. The speaker said, "No man's thinking is any good unless it comes from the goodness of his heart Christian religion is not founded upon nor maintained by argu ments or debates but by the experi ences of life. And unless we develop characters as well as minds all is lost." Miss Lillian Roseland at the piano, and Miss Gilbert with a violin, rend ered a beautiful instrumental duet. Mr. D. W.

H. Wright, who entertained the large audience which crowded the ca pacity of the church with a most en tertaining and inspiring speech, con cluding with the gift of another $60, 000 to the college loan fund. Mr. Wright's speech In full was as fol lows: , "The last time I had this honor was on November 27, 1926. Then the Pattle Julia Wright Memorial Dormi tory was a dream In embryo. Now it is a reality and we are .here today to dedicate it to the use for which It Is Intended. I hope it may be of ma terial aid to many worthy young la idles in the long years of the future and continue to hear fruit long after 1 we have passed Into the great be yond. It Is intended to be a tempor ary home for poor, but talented and ' promising girls, while they are earn estly striving for an education which will make them useful members of society and stats, good wives, good mothers, aa well as ornaments to their future households. 'Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear, Full many a flower is born to blush i unseen And waste Its sweetness on the de sert air.' I 1 "I want the Pattle Julia Wright Dormitory and Educational Endow ment Fund to each play Its part In discovering and polishing these hid den gems for the benefit of the pre seut as well as future generations. r'Pnrdon me If I suggest to yon ' young ladies that merely the oppor tunity to acquire an education is not ' all that Is necessary. It requires earn, .est diligent application. "It has been truly said, 'There Is , no royal road to an education.' Each ? one must strive earnestly, diligently, . patiently, persistently. i "We have not wings, we cannot soar ? But we have feet to scale and climb i By slow degrees, by more and more i The cloudy summits of our time. ? The heights by great men reached and i kept r Were not attained by sudden flight i But they, while their companions slept i Were toiling upward In the night "There are many apparent lncen ?v tires, too numerous to mention,' to i arouse a laudable ambition and deter , mination to dim to the top. > "Lires of great men aU remind us i We can make our Ires subline." ".These two lines hare always been I full of encouragement and inspiration i to me. What others hare done, why : may not you? "Last, but not least, I beg of you young ladies to take a lull course In domestic science. Make sdentiflc cook leg a specialty. A dainty dish pre pared by the dainty hand of a good In telligent cook may sare the life of a( father or mother, or brother or sis-' ter, or husband or child.

"Mr. President, In my letter to you on December 2, 1925, I promised that If the Franklin County Building was erected within a certain time that t would add more to the Pattie Julia Wright Scholarship Endowment Fund I believe that condition has been met. In compliance with that promise 1 beg to hand to you a certificate for five hundred shares of stock of the Tomlinson Chair Company, of High Point, which la paying eight per cent dividend per year on fifty thousand dollars. Use it as may seem beat for the uplift and upbuilding of a better and nobler womanhood and mother hood.

Peele, pastor of TTlnlty church, Durham, who said In part ""All true greatness is the result of great personalities. To think ofLoulsburg College will be to think of Robert H. Wright.
