Transylvania County Is "The
Land Of Waterfalls” And Has
Famed Pisgah National Forest
Brevard College Is Its Major
Educational Facility. Fu
ture Is Bright.
Transylvania county, wherein is
located Brevard college as its
chief educational facility, was
formed in 1861 by act of the
North Caroline, legislature — the
name Transylvania from the La
ain words meaning across ux be
yond the woods.
Being known in its early years
as a health center, deve^pment of
natural resources was natural, and
along with the thousands of peo
ple who came here each summer
for rest and recreation there came
lose who remained to enter busi
ness and agricultural pursuits.
Building of a railroad in the ’90’s
added stimulus to the lumbering
industry and with the added busi
ness from these ventures, other
lines were soon added.
Tanneries for finishing of lea
ther, lumber concerns that con
tinue to finish the fine hardwoods
native to this section, a cotton
yarn mill, and lastly the world’s
greatest fine cigarette paper con
i cern—have continuously added to
Transylvania’s prestige and its
business expansion.
Known as the “Land of Water
falls,” Transylvania is destined to
remain a great playground for
those seeking the ideal vacation.
Huge cataracts in many sections of
the county where millions of gal
lons of water hurtle down moun
tain sides are great attractions.
Proximity to, and near-surround
ed by Pisgah National Forest and
Game Preserve, main entrance of
which is located in Transylvania,
has made this an ideal section for
hunters and fishermen.
In addition to the game for
sportsmen, the protection water
sheds of the national forest are
also attractive to manufacturers
who desire a continuous flow of
pure clear water for processing.
Evidence of this usefulness to pro
cessing -is contained in the fact
that the Ecusta Paper corporation
elected the Davidson River area
at Pisgah Forest for its plant.
Agriculture is also a great factor
in the life of the county, and there
are but few crops which cannot be
grown successfully in Transylvania
county.
Served by the Southern Railway
system, a network of paved high
ways which lead east, north and
south, and a fine scenic highway
which is now being J^uilt toward
the west, this county is accessible
from all points for rail and truck
transportation.
First link of the Great Smoky
Mountain National Park scenic
drive has been built in Transyl
vania county along its western
boundary, through the matchless
Pisgah National Forest preserve.
Truly Transylvania county has
a great future, and is rightfully
taking its place in the business,
agricultural, .tourist, and educa
tional world.
The county government is oper
ated economically and efficiently
now by Carl Allison, chairman of
the county board of commission
ers. with Willis Brittain and John
Wilson as members. J. B. Jones
is superintendent of schools; Free
man Hayes, sheriff; N. A. Miller,
clerk of court; Mrs. Melvin Gilles
pie, register of deeds; T. E. Reid,
tax collector; Mrs. Dorothy Mit
chell, county accountant; Mrs.
Dora Patton, superintendent of
welfare; Dr. C. N. Sisk, health of
ficer; J. A. Glazener, county ag
ent; Miss Annabel Teague, home
demonstration agent.

Suggestions For
'Making Good In
College’ Offered
Six splendid suggestions for
“making good in college”, are con
tained in Brevard College student
handbook and these suggestions
are as follows:
1. Have a definite purpose and
work toward its attainment. Drift
ing is dangerous.
2. Develop the power of decis
ion. It is important for a person
to be able to make up his mind
and then act.
3. Reserve judgment until you
have the facts and have carefully
examined them. Remember that
the other person may be wrong.
If some student does not like the
subject or an instructor, it does
not mean that you will be similar
ly affected.
4. Learn to study. There is no*
other way to make good in college.
Make up your mind now that you
are going to acquire this particular
ability. It is the main reason for
your being in college.
5. Learn to meet people and
to be able to get along with them.
Decide in the beginning that you
are going to make as many friends
as you can. It is wise, however,
to choose your intimate friends
with great care.
6. Be alert to what goes on
around you. The college campus
is your world for the next several
months, Learn to offer construc
tive criticism and avoid the habit
of finding fault.
