Mrs. Tyler is the daughter of Rev. R. H. Land, who taught Latin, Lan guage, and Literature here in 1883- 84. She came here in September of ’74 and graduated in the class of ’76. Her many friends remember her as being very talented in music. She married Mr. Harry Tyler, a well known and prominent Baptist of Bal timore, Maryland, at which place she is now living. Mrs. Tyler is very interested in the library campaign here. Her letter reads: “I have so often thought of the ^®Ppy days at Chowan, and especially of the good work being done there. I am so glad to send you a check, with which to buy books, and I am greatly interested in seeing my Alma Mater develop into a class A college. I be lieve with all my heart in Christian education, and I trust our southern high-grade schools and colleges will not employ teachers who do not believe in the Book of books. Take our Bibles from us and what have we left to make life worth living?” We appreciate this letter so much, and also the check. Letters like this one give us much encouragement, and and in spirit us to work harder than ever for our goal. A Letter to Dear Classmates: In the fall I wrote each of you individually asking you for a donation—and right here I want to say I enjoyed immensely the generous response. I am daily expecting a letter and contribution from the three who have not written, knowing it is careless neglect and not genuine indifference, for I believe too strongly in the loyalty of the girls of 1905 to think that any one of them would let the class undertake any task in which she would not cheerfully do her bit. And now the Chowanian has given me the privilege of writing to you collectively and telling you of how the library plans have materialized, as well as a few other things. fCo you remember the new professor who came to Chowan in 1904 and with whom all the girls, particularly the Senior Class fell head over heels in love? And do you remember that he loved no student, but his affections were bestowed upon “more attractive metal”—the faculty—or at least one of its members? Well, that same professor came back to us in the fall of 1923 as our President, Dr. Charles P. Weaver. The girls still adore him and this time he loves every one of them, and says he has the finest lot of girls, as well as one of the most splendid corps of teachers in North Carolina. I know them intimately and I really think he is right and he has just cause to be proud of them. We feel the college is to be con gratulated upon having Dr. Weaver, for he is a regular “stem-winder”, and has certainly put Chowan on the map. We of Eastern Carolina have always known that Chowan has some of the most marvelous advantages possible for any girls’ school—a cam pus of several acres, unexcelled in natural beauty by any in the state; a location away from the bustle and hustle of the city where we may really develop mentally, pyhsically and spiritually; an ideal climate; a health record without precedent. Now Dr. Weaver believes that not noly the few, but people everywhere should know about this, and I am sure that you will agree with me in saying that the Chowanian is the most ef fective method he has devised for ad vertising and it has done more to create interest than any other agency. It is a splendid little paper, and I don’t see how any girl could read one ^Pv and not subscribe! / r Surely you have heard something fot the progress of the Library Cam paign. When we took up the work last summer we had only about two thousand volumes, and those were crowded in one little room. One of the students was librarian and, of course, with her studies and school duties could not be librarian in the true sense of the word. I just want you to come and go to the library with me now! The old auditorium has been converted into a very ade quate library and reading room. Aren’t you glad it is adequately used for something? Upon entering you will be greeted by the cordial wel come and friendly smile of Miss Eu nice McDowell, the librarian, one of God’s truest women and certainly one of Chowan’s most brilliant and de voted daughters; and is is largely due to her loyal and untiring efforts that the library has grown by leaps and bounds and is rapidly approaching the gatJ of-ME— ^dSBand volumse. Hasn’t the response been wonderful? Yet when one goes to Chowan, sees the best improvement and progress, one catches the true Chowan spirit, and we do not marvel, but thoroughly understand how both the alumnae and friends feel that it’s a real privi lege to be one of the many to help make Chowan the “best little wo man’s college” in the world! The new auditorium is indeed beautiful and her seating capacity of 1000. The stage is a perfect joy, being large enough for the setting of the most elaborate play, having room to seat a grand symphony concert. And best of all there is no post in the center to provoke one’s wrath and make them kick the very toes off their shoes trying to remove it, so there could be center stage effects. The accoustics too are remarkably good. So say the singers and speakers who have been with us this winter. Can you imagine a real, sure enough swimming pool at Chowan? Well, it’s right there and a beauty too, so you know what good times the girls have splashing around in it. Chowan has sent out leaders along several lines. Who knows but what she may be training one of the world’s champion swimmers? I’m sure we thought when we were at school that, certainly, no girls could be happier than we, but if a lovely, bright, airy, sunshiny room is conducive to hap piness, then the girls of today should excel us, for the new dormitory rooms are splendid, each has two big win dows, two single beds, two large closets. Doesn’t that sound ideal?
