RED SPRINGS —Dera Dry Par
kinson of Columbus, Mississippi,
one of Flora Macdonald’s most dis
tinguished alumnae, used “Alma
Mater” as the theme of a genuine
ly delightful fifteen-inmute talk at
the alumnae luncheon which open
ed the 52nd commencement of the,
College Saturday.
Stressing the benefits of a Chris
tian college, she said, “Because it
is’ a college and not a university, it
can maintain the atmosphere of a
home, make possible more intimate
friendships between students, and
between students and faculty —it
enables a student to orient herself
in a new experience without
swamping her with too many con
tacts.”
Herself a student of the early
era of the institution, Dr. Parkin
son paid high tribute to the far-
reaching influence of the first pre-
s’ldent. Dr. C. G. Vardell, in the
days when the college was “in the
making”, and when president, fa
culty, and students alike, helped
to make it. “Flora Macdonald is an
institution representing the crystal
lization of the ideals, political, so
cial and moral civilization based
upon the Holy Bible.” she declared,
“and we alumnae proudly claim
our inheritance."
Closing with a direct message
to all Flora Macdonald students,
past, pres’ent, and future, Dr. Par
kinson said, “For you we covet
the favor and blessing of Alma
Mater, whether she speaks through
our president—Dr. Vardell— your
president—Dr. Bedinger — or on
down the years through their illus
trious successors. The speaker was
pretented by Dean Hazel Morrtsotf.'
Miss Katie McIntyre, retiring
alumnae president, presided at the
luncheon, and president Henry G
Bedinger welcomed the alumnae
and guests, who included all mem
bers of the college faculty. Brief
greetings were brought from rep
resentatives of all classes present,
beginning with Mrs. Margaret Mc
Guire Morgan of Laurinburg, only

Following the address of Mr.

presented by Dr. C. T. Johnson,

Mr. Phillips has been a mem

has just been named as dean of

eral weeks ago. In great demand
as a speaker, due to heavy ad
ministrative duties, he has made
it a practice in recent years to
speak at but four commencement
programs each spring, and Supt,
Dudley and the school, board? feel
that they have been exceedingly
fortunate in securing Mr. Phil

J. A. Cox said late today that
he would appear tomorrow

affidavits showing that the vote
as announced was in error and
should be amended by three
votes for him and one for Ivey;
this would give Cox a majority

he made so delightful a talk that
his capacity audience not only

applause. Dr. Cleland based his
very fine address on “A Thought

from a poem of the modern poet,
Robert Frost. He pointed out that

warned them not to return to

to the great thoughts in the so

are puzzled, and which require
further thinking, with brains a-

of religion, which ever needs
