An Appeal In Its Behalf y a oung s
lAy of the School.
The following appeared as art editor
ial in the last issue of the beminary
Glow- Worm, written by Miss Nannie
Merritt:.
A few days ago the sad news ; fell
upon our ears that mere was some
nrobabilitv of our shool again chang
ing hands, or being subject to a tvorse
late man inai, uiscunuaun. v"
what feeling of grief did we all echo, :
"give us no change, out ao lei us Keep
our present faculty. " How distress
in? it will be in the future for the- . .
alumnal to think of their Alma Mater
as only a thing of the past. For years
she has stood the winds and storms,
and held a steady flame to raise the
standard of education" in our beloved
State. Not only has North Carolina
and sister States felt the influence of
this grand institution, but even across
the dart waters her innuence ior gooo.
is greatly felt.- One of her alumnae is
now engaged irr tnai sseu-sacrincHig
and noble calling, a rmssionary iirthe
dark benighted land of Africa, and
another in the heart ol neatnen .nina.
What could chill, them morethan to
learn that their dear old Alma Mater,
with so manv pleasant associations had ;
crumbled into oblivion? No more
won Id the walls echo and re-echo witn "
the cheerful voices and merry laughter
of the girls; but henceforth and forever
closed, the dust of time to be the only
watcher over her sacred walls 1
But can the grief of the old alumnal
equal ours? It can not ! We love
each and every one oi ine prcacm
farultv and especially arc we loath to
give up our President, who ; a few
months ago, wnen ine ocuiiuai
under a shadow; made so many noble ;
sacrifices and came to her rescue. We
see the shadow upon the juniors' faces,
who have been laboring with untiring
zeaf to" win the goal Tune, 1891.
They have looked forward to their re
turn with many pleasant anticipations.
Can it be possible that : the : cup of
pleasure must be dashed from their
lips their course either unfinished or .,
pursued in another school, and there to
encounter the many disadvantages that
arise from such changes?
Seniors and juniors, go as a ; band
and fall at the feet , of our Presi
dent, and with the silvery tongue of
an orator entreat him to keep his
place. Let us remain a united body M
for "united we stand,divided we -
fall."
Can Oxford afford to, let such a
school go down? Business men of
the place, arouse yourselves; look
steadily into the future; see what a
shaBow of gloom you will cast upon
your own, town and what ignorance you
will bring upon your .own homes.
Open your 'purses; 5 let riot ' money
snatch from you your treasure. When .
in its history has the Seminary had a
more thorough corps of. teachers, and f
a more efficient President? Never!
Our teachers are are'riot surpassed if
equaled by any in the State. How
can we think of this happy band's be
ing broken the golden link which has
bound them, here being severed? Not
that it will discommode them in the
least, for there are too many schools
desiring just such a faculty as we are '
now happy to possess Let- not our
loss be anothers gain.
We have no such selfish hearts as to r
say we will leave for good in Juneand
care not what becomes of our dear old
Seminary. Alas, how sad! 'Tis true we
bid bur dear college life adieu forever;
ten of us will launch our barques upon
life's rugged $ea, and all sail. to distant
homes, to different climes and to un
told duties to which we are now stran-
gers. But may each , barque sail as a
gondola on a silvery sea; and as we
pause to muse, let us in imagination
hear our walls reverberate with the
same dear voices of our present teach
ers, and President. And may not one
strange voice break the harmony.
