maintained that institution which in
later years became Louisburg College.
Tire- Btgrory-of toulsburg College
this* county and section that It would
oe a waste of effort upon the part of
this writer to do mole than simply
call their attention to a few facts
.It is sufficient to say at this place
ithat throughout all the years or Its
' history this One old ^Institution,
through the loyalty of its friends, has
been able to keep its doora open and
? pursue Its nobel work through times
lot war and peace, poverty and prM
perity, ao that It baa an upbroken
i history of nearly a century and a halt
'of splendid service.
! About five years ago Mr. A. W.
]Mo tin-was called to the presidency of
I Louisburg College, and with his innu
' guration began a new era Inthe life
of the old College. Old buildings
| were remodeled and refurnished, ma
new buildings began to rise on the
;campus; modern equipment placed in
'class rooms and laboratories and the
student roll began to grow. Mr. Mohn
found only two buildings, both badly
In need of repairs .when he cause.
These have heeu put in Brat class coo
-hitlon anri tlirftfl beautiful new builds
| Mr. Mohn had a vision of a greater
and finer Louisburg College and the
town and county caught the vision
' from him, mid 'under' Bis "splendid 13H
'ership, the people of Franklin County
| did something that has not been sur
passed In any rural county In the
South?subscribed $150,000.04 for the
purpose of erecting a great Frank
lin County Memorial Building. '
| This beautiful building stands upon
the campue as a lasting memorial
to the loyalty and love of Franklin
County people. But this is an un
finished memorial. Let us all redeem
our pledgee so that it may not stand
as a monument to our broken faith
with our historic old college.
In the fall of 1920 our people were
unable to pay their iffedgesbecause
of the low price of cotton, but we
are not facing such a condition today.
Because of the Increase in the stu
dent body and in order to meet cer
tain requirements of the State Board
of Education it was absolutely necea
sary that the class rooms and labora
tories on the flret floor of the Frank
lin Comity Building be completed and
equipped for the opening of the pre.
sent college year. The trustees didn't
have the funds la hand to do this
work, but ther assumed that as they
held the pledges of the splendid peo
ple of Franklin connty they would b?
safe in having the work done, feeling
sure you would redeem your pledges
when they became dne. Trusting you,
they contracted a debt This debt
imust be paid at once, and the only
source of funds with which to meet
this debt and complets the building
la vour pledges.
Loyal people of Louisburg and
Franklin county, send In the amount
due on your "pledges at once and half
your college to medt fts obligations,
obligations based on your pledged
good faith.
Louisburg College stands on the
threshold of a new day?a great day
and next week the TIMES will ta|)
you of some of the great things In
store tor the College In the near fu
ture.
?bore all, pay your pledge to the
Franklin County But)ding Fund.
