Featuring the 2-COAT SYSTEM
This Devoc 2-Coat System doesn't try to saddle or shirk. There are two definite jobs for outside paint to do, and Devoe does them. Each coat does its specific work. The first coat locks the pores of the wood like iron, seals it against sucking up life-giving oils. The second coat is built to laugh off ultra-violet sun rays and weather, still sparkles after several years.

Commencement 1949 promises to be a gay occasion. A number of class reunions are planned and Alum- nae Day, Saturday, May 28, will be filled to the brim with activities.
Dr. Francis P. Gaines, President of Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Va., will deliver the Bac- calaureate Sermon, Sunday, May 29, at eleven o'clock, in Aycock Audi- torium. Dr. Gaines, a noted educa- tor and orator, will be heard by sen- iors, faculty, families and friends of Woman's College.
Dr. Jackson's Decision to remain as Woman's College Chancellor for another year has been received with real joy and deep gratitude. We an- nounced in the February Alumnae News that a dinner honoring Dr.
Jackson had been planned for May 17. Plans for the occasion were cancelled when the University Board of Trus- tees requested him to stay on, but the committee from the faculty and alum- nae will plan a similar affair probably next fall.
The Vocational Guidance Con- ference, the project of the sopho- more class, assisted by the Alumnae Association, was a real success and, we hope, the beginning of an annual event. We are truly grateful to the alumnae and others who contributed their time and efforts toward making the day successful.
All of Your Friends at Wom- an's College are expecting you for Commencement this year. Don't dis- appoint us.
Alumnae Returning for Com- mencement will be housed without charge, of course, in Gray and Gotten Halls. Come Friday night and stay through Monday if possible. We'll be looking for you.
Open House: As the Alumnae News goes to press plans are being made by the alumnae social commit- tee to have open house for the sen- iors following their last class meet- ing May 5, in the Alumnae House. This will be the social occasion wel- coming the class of 1949 into the Association.

Dr. Graham Accepts Appointment
to United States Senate
News of Dr. Frank Porter Gra- ham's appointment to the United States Senate and his subsequent resig- nation as President of the Consoli- dated University of North Carolina brought mixed emotions to Alumnae of the Woman's College — regret in the loss of our great University leader and pride in having the State of North Carolina represented by her outstand- ing liberal, intellectual and humani- tarian.
Dr. Graham's appointment to fill the Senatorial vacancy brought about by the untimely death of Senator J. M. Broughton, was announced by Governor W. Kerr Scott at the O. Max Gardner Award Dinner in Chapel Hill, March 22, 1949. In attendance at the dinner were the members of the University Board of Trustees and members of the faculties of State Col- lege, Woman's College and Carolina. Climaxing the event which honored Miss Louise Alexander as the out- standing teacher at the three units of the University, the announcement of Dr. Graham's appointment made the occasion one of genuine triumph for education.
Public recognition is not always ac- companied by humility, but Dr. Gra- ham's selfless life as teacher, admin- istrator, peacemaker, and arbiter has been marked by deep faith in human beings and consummate humility. He has been consistent in his efforts to help make the world a better place — one in which all freedoms are guar- anteed to all people. Dr. Graham goes to Washington with an under- standmg and knowledge of national and world affairs, for already he has been given important posts by Presi- dent Roosevelt and President Tru- man. He was successively vice-chair- m3n of the N. R. A. Consumer's Board, chairman of the National Ad- visory Council to the Cabinet Com- mittee on Economic Security, mem- ber of the President's Committee on Education, vice-chairman of the Na- tional Defense Mediation Board, mem- ber of the War Labor Board, United States representative on the "Good Offices" Committee of the United Nations to facilitate the settlement of
Dr. and Mrs. Frank Porter Graham
the Indonesian problem, and presi- cent of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies.
No better picture of Frank Gra- h.-,m, the man, has come from the press than the following editorial by Jonathan Daniels, editor, which was published in the Raleigh News and Observer March 23, 1949.
"Our Hearts swell With gladness"
Senator Graham.
The name and the title stand splen- didly together in North Carolina.
Governor Scott could have chosen no citizen who better represented at one and the same time the Go Forward spirit and the continuity of a high Carolina tra- dition. Certainly, he could have chosen no man better equipped for the highest democratic dealing with the tremendous problems of our times in this State, this nation, and this world.
The name Graham is almost a sub- stantive noun for service in North Caro- lina. It was a Graham who recalled in his old age the high faith in freedom which he and others put into the Meck- lenburg Declaration of Independence. He was merely the first of the Grahams de- voted to the service of a free people. There is a contemporary sound in a sentence from the biography of William Alexander Graham, who a century ago was Senator, Governor, and Secretary of the Navy. In the Senate "his career was marked by earnest and intelligent advo- cacy of internal improvements and public education." It is a family in which states- manship and the schoolhouse have been combined. Frank Graham's own father, Alexander Graham, came home from serv- ice as a Confederate soldier to devote a long life to teaching generations of North Carolinians, Frank Grahams predecessor and cousin at Chapel Hill, Edward Kid- der Graham, founded the faith which Frank Graham has fulfilled that a State University is not merely a college for students but an institution inclusive of the whole life of a State.
May, 1949
Certainly, no living North Carolinian can question Governor Scott's judgment in finding in Frank Graham a true Go Forward comrade in his program for the welfare of the people of this day. Indeed, in the generation of living North Caro- linians he has been the clearest living sym- bol of full faith in the powers of the peo- ple and the most vital advocate of full and equal opportunity for them all — and everyone — "to burqeon out all that there is within him." That has not been an easy faith. Durin? recent legislative weeks there were practical men who wondered why Frank Graham was unwilling to fight for the University alone but save his zeal also to appropriations for health and the public schools, roads aid the public welfare. His willingness to fight for every cause which seemed to him good has brought him enemies and smears — but fortunately smears which fell of their own weight against the stone wall of North Carolina's faith in him and affec- tion for him. He is and always has been a man best loved by those who know him best.
As important as the Carolina and Christian tradition and faith upon which he stands is the equipment for great na- tional service which he possesses. Hardly any North Carolinian of this generation has been called upon for so much selfless service by his country. Yet few North Carolinians have been able to keep so direct and strong their lines of service to so many people at home. Frank Graham has been able to work in Indonesia and yet remember the problems of a boy or a teacher, a girl or a cause in small towns and cities in North Carolina. He is equally at home at the country gathering and the international conference table. He has won the enmity of commissars in the world debate without ever losing the common touch with .scholars and chil- dren, poor people and big people at home. No man North Carolina could send to the Senate today would carry to it more knowledge of the problems which will face it and upon which depend the hope and security of his own people than this small, simple, strong man from Chapel Hill.
He was drafted for the Senate in dis- regard of all the political contenders by Governor Scott at a fortunate time. Though the work of building a great University system will never be ended, Frank Graham has brought the process of consolidation to a point where its con- tinuing success is assured. He has not only led in the building of a great technical institution at Raleigh, a splendid Wo- man's College at Greensboro and a liberal University at Chapel Hill, but he has also added to the faith of the people in that institution, which is more essential to it even than appropriations. The task has reached the point where his assignment to a greater task comes with the naturalness of greatness in the service of a people.
The choice is excellent. It may be even more important in North Carolina that the choice also proves the statesmanship of Governor Scott. There had been some impatience with his delay in appointing a worthy successor to Senator J. Melville Broughton. Much of that impatience rep-
resented not merely the competitive eager- ness of politicians, but a fear by the peo- ple that the Governor was playing poli- tics among them. The appointment of Graham will dispel the people's fear. And time will reveal the steadfastness with which the Governor sought the ac- ceptance of the one man whom he be- lieved best qualified in mind and spirit to represent the people of North Carolina in the solution of the problems of the world.
By his choice Governor Scott lifts the spirit and the faith of North Carolina people in their destiny to go forward toward the fulfillment of the best that is within them. By his choice he gives the nation a Senator who will be recognized for his weight, his wisdom, and his worth from the moment of his appointment. Senator Graham will be able to do much out of great understanding for the people of North Carolina and the South. He will do most for them and for men every- where, however, as a devout and devoted advocate of freedom and peace. Gover-
nor Scott has not merely well served North Carolina. He has given in the de- cisive council of the free world today, a vote which will never be cast except for the decency, the productivity, the happi- ness, and the peace of mankind.
By no means the least of those as- sets which the departure of Dr. Gra- ham takes from North CaroHna to Washington is Mrs. Graham herself. Her charm, friendliness, intelligence, and loyalty to the University and to the State have complemented Dr. Graham's immeasurable contribution to us.
It is the hope of the Alumnae of the Woman's College that in foster- ing the principles of freedom, faith in humanity, and service to the state and nation, our college will always be a credit to Dr. Graham and his de- votion to these ideals.
A Letter from Chancellor Jackson
Dear Alumnae:
1 had expected that this would be a good-bye message. All my plans had been made to retire July 1. On March 22 President Graham was appointed to the United States Senate. Immediately I was approached by some of the trus- tees and asked if I would agree to re- main here another year. I said that I did not want to do so. Upon further conversation I said that I would not even consider the question unless it was cleared with the committees — trustee, alumnae, and faculty — that were considering recommendations for my successor. Not knowing what these committees had done or were doing, it might be that I would un- wittingly complicate their problem. These committees were consulted and I was told that all three of them unanimously recommended that I be asked to remain one more year. The Executive Committee then requested it, and I thought it my duty to com- ply. So, the farewell message is briefly postponed.
The faculty and students have been generous beyond belief in pledging help to me for next year. All of us will do our best to insure a good year. We want and need the continued help of the alumnae.
One of the reasons that weighed heavily with me in making a decision was the opportunity to have a further part in the great building program
now in progress. You will recall that during the past year we built a new laundry, a beautiful soda shop, and partially completed the renovation of the dining halls. That renovation job will be completed this summer. A magnificent million-dollar library is in course of rapid construction. Con- tract has been let and ground broken already for a new dormitory that will be a duplicate of Weil and Winfield, though with the wings of the new building paralleling the center part of the building instead of at right angles as in Weil and Winfield. This build- ing is facing the driveway in front of Coit Hall and north of Kirkland. Plans are being completed for a mil- l!on-dollar home economics building. We hope to open bids for that build- ing within sixty or ninety days.
The last General Assembly gave us in addition to all this, adequate appro- priations for a student union building, a new infirmary, a new gymnasium, the enlargement of the science build- ing, a nursery school, conversion of the present library to a classroom building, renovation of Curry, and campus improvements in roads, etc., etc. Permanent improvements for the last biennium and the present total considerably more than seven million dollars. That is a goodly sum for us and will provide well for our campus needs for a long time. We propose to
The Alumnae News
push construction on all these plans just as rapidly as possible. This will be a major part of my task for next year.
W'e are also in the midst of work- ing out our salary schedule for next year, making plans for Summer School and our Burnsville Project, our Art School at Beaufort, our work at Pen- land, and planning for the Arts Fo- rum, the Harriet Elliott Social Sci- ence Forum, Music Contest, further- ing the work for the Home Economics Foundation, Chapel Fund, and the many other activities that make up the enlarged program of the College.
I bespeak your continued interest and assistance — especially for one more year!
Miss Alexander Receives
First O. Max Gardner Award
ALetterfromOurPresident
Dear Alumnae:
Days as Alumnae President roll by as swiftly as college days!
Some things I had hoped to see ac- complished in my tenure of office are still on the unfinished list, but much has been done, thanks to your inter- est and help — and that of our inde- fatigable executive secretary, Betty Brown Jester, and her assistant, Evon Dean.
I beheve that you will agree that the most thrilling single report is that 121 meetings of alumnae have been held since October 1, from Boston to St. Petersburg, and west to Chicago. With such interest and cooperation, I am sure the part of alumnae of Woman's College in the future growth and development of the college is as- sured.
Whatever the alumnae have done — in the field, working with the college students, or in the office, we have had the encouragement and backing of Dr. Jackson. He has made us all feel strongly that no matter where we are or what we are doing, we will always be important to our college.
I urge you to continue to support the incoming president, and thank you again for the fine way you have helped me.
Sincerely,
Alumnae President
Louise Brevard Alexander
Miss Louise Brevard Alexander, professor of political science at Wom- an's College for fourteen years, was given the first Oliver Max Gardner Award at a dinner honoring her M.irch 22, 1949, in Lenoir Hall at Chapel Hill. As the will of Oliver Max Gardner reads, "To that member of the faculty of the Consolidated University of North Carolina who, during the current scholastic year, has made the greatest contribution to the welfare of the human race," the award was made to "Miss Alex" for her distinguished teaching.
The Woman's College is proud to share this high honor with "Miss Alex" and we are grateful to her for her praiseworthy representation of the teaching profession.
The award was a check for the in- come from $25,000 which was pre- sented to Miss Alexander by Mr. J. Spencer Love, chairman of the com- mittee from the Board of Trustees, who made the selection.
Present at the dinner were the fac- ulties of the three units of the Great- er University and members of the Board of Trustees. Governor Kerr
Scott presided.
From the brochure which was pre- sented to each guest at the dinner we quote:
'Go and Teach," the mandate of the Master-Teacher, is somewhat in need of re-emphasis today, particularly in the realm of Higher Education. Research, publication and public lecturing are so requisite to the life and work of a real university that at times they tend to overshadow the equally important work of the classroom.
"The laboratory, the typewriter, and the rostrum have become the royal roads to scholarly pre-eminence and national recognition: but there arc still many no- ble souls who achieve academic canoni- zation the hard way: Teaching.
"A university must promote the con- stant search and research for new truths: it must assure the publication and dissem- ination of this new knowledge; but it must never de-emphasize its responsibility to teach.
May, 1949
"Great teachers and great scientists are so much in demand nowadays that they are apt to be lured away from their first love: classroom teaching, and the result is an irreparable loss to the students.
"Great teachers are needed today as never before. Education has been indicted for failing to save the world from two global wars within a period of twenty- five years. Perhaps there is some justice in the indictment: yet, many people still look to Education as the great hope for avoiding a third world war.
"The moral anemia of the world to- day may be attributed to the war, to wide-spread religious indifference, to the partial disintegration of the family and home life; but, whatever the causes, our universities and colleges must tackle the job of trying to cure it, before it ulti- mately destroys us.
"Faith and hope in the hearts and minds of our youth are the best antitox- ins to immunize against this pernicious epidemic. This job must be done by our university and college teachers.
"Young people coming to college, cut- ting away from the family ties and the home-church, need piloting by great teachers. Sound instruction alone in his- tory, mathematics, chemistry, et cetera, is not enough. The task demands more than zealous exactitude in the specific sub- ject matter. The great teacher helps the student find himself or herself.
"Some young college students are apt to revel in sophomoric sophistication. Doubt, skepticism, iconoclasm, and cyni- cism may seem ultra-smart to immature minds. The old creeds they learned at home often lose their power. Idolatrous ideologies are working to proselyte the idealism of youth. These ideologies may confuse and lure the young man or young woman who is seeking recognition by the world about them. They chase some will-o-the-wisp to attract attention to themselves, to make news — mistaking notoriety for appreciation.
"Good teachers are a godsend to young people at this topsy-turvy stage in their development. Indifferent, unsympathetic instructors can intensify the frustration of youth. Understanding, inspiring teach- ers can help these energetic and dynamic young people develop into intelligent, happy, useful citizens. The job is hard. It requires teachers with knowledge, wis- dom, prudence, patience, understanding, unselfishness. That is the kind of teacher we must have if our civilization is to survive.
"And that is the kind of teacher the Trustees have selected in making the first Oliver Max Gardner Award. A great teacher is being honored because of her teaching — Louise Brevard Alexander, Teacher, has been adjudged, by the Trus- tees, to be 'that member of the faculty of the Consolidated University of North Carolina who in the past academic year has made the greatest contribution to the human race.'
'Miss Alex,' as she is known to everyone who has come under her inspir- ing influence, is a 'born teacher'. She has devoted her life to teaching and she has devoted her teaching to life. Her influence extends beyond the classroom. She lives

in the lives of her students and former students. And, because she teaches gov- ernment and political science with the idea of helping her students develop into citizens, she lives in the everyday life of North Carolina, the South, and the Na- tion.
"Sharing the birthday of Franklin De- lano Roosevelt — January 30 — ■ Miss Alexander shares, too, his great love of people, and his devotion to the people's well-being.
"Fourteen years ago, again on January 3 0, Miss Alexander came to Woman's College. She has been a masterful teacher. Scholarly, conscientious, thorough, dy- namic, inspiring — she is a teacher in the noblest senses of the word. She is the kind of teacher we need if this awry world is to be set aright. Louise Brevard Alexander has earned the title 'Great Teacher,' and as a great teacher, she has earned the first Oliver Max Gardner Award."

Sixth Annual Arts Forum is Held at Woman's College
The Sixth Annual Arts Forum at the Woman's College. March 17-19. was at- tended by two hundred students from thirty-five colleges and universities.
Original student works in art, music, drama, writing, and the dance were pre- sented and discussed by such experienced and talented critics as: Henry Cowell, composer and concert pianist: Peter Tay- lor, writer and teacher of writing: Louis Horst, composer of music for the dance and teacher of dance composition: Walter Prichard Eaton. Yale teacher of playwrit- ing: Jean Stafford, novelist and short story writer: Richard Wilbur, poet, and James Johnson Sweeney, Harvard art critic and teacher.
This year's forum attracted more stu- dent contributions than ever before. Hun- dreds of visiting students from scores of colleges joined 2,100 Woman's College students in attending the eleven separate events on the program.
Highlights of the forum were the per- formance of four one-act plays, a writing forum, a performance of choreography by ten college dance groups, a recital of student compositions, and an exhibition of student oil and watercolors, etchings, sculpture, lithographs, wood cuts and engravings, serigraphs, drawings, and textile designs. There also was an exhi- bition of work by contemporary sculp- tors, an exhibition of student work from Woman's College Art Department, an ex- hibition of photography by Woman's College physics students, and concerts in the dance and contemporary American composers by Woman's College dance and chamber music ensembles.
The student writings critized by the forum leaders appeared in the forum issue of the Corradi, Woman's College literary quarterly.
No prizes were offered, nor were any awards made at the forum. The only ob- jective was the stimulation of original work by students.
Students exhibiting art in various media represented the following colleges and universities: School of the Art Institute of Chicago, oil painting: School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, etchings: The Cooper Union Art School, oil paintings: Cranbrook ■ Academy, sculpture: University of Denver School of Arts, watercolors: National Serigraph Society, serigraphs: Pratt Institute, tex- tile designs: Rhode Island School of De- sign, oil painting and charcoal drawing: Richmond Professional Institute, oil paintings: Teachers College of Columbia University, lithographs: University of Wisconsin, oil paintings.
Nineteen student writers heard their stories and poems read and critized. The stories were written by students from University of Alabama, Duke University, Indiana University, State University of Iowa, University of Miami,
N. C. State College, University of North Carolina, Poems critized were from Eas- tern Carolina Teachers College, Kenyon College, N. C. State College, Woman's College of U, N. C.
The Play-Likers of Woman's College staged, directed and performed the exper- imental one-act plays. The plays were: "Shadows on the Moon." by Constance Cruger of Wellesley College: "Au Fond du Coeur." by James Geiger of the Uni- versity of North Carolina: "The Spice of Life," by Nan Wilkinson of Woman's College: and "Let No Man Put Asun- der," by Sally Nissley and Sue Reed, of Randolph-Macon Woman's College.
Ten college dance groups presented choreograhpical programs during the forum, representing Appalachian State Teachers College, Converse College. Farm- ville State Teachers College, Florida State University, Greensboro College, Lime- stone College, Madison College, Ran- dolph-Macon Woman's College, West- hampton College, College of William and Mary, Woman's College of Duke University, and Woman's College of U. N. C.

Burnsville School of Fine Arts
WillBe Open July4 - August 27
The Burnsville School of Fine Arts, located in the heart of North Carolina's most scenic mountain section, offers train- ing and college credit in Art. Music. Drama, and Education. July 4 — August 27.
The Burnsville School of Fine Arts was conceived as a means of assembling students, teachers, and devotees of the arts in a pleasant and suitable region of West- cm North Carolina for the purpose of developing their aptitudes and tastes and furnishing first-rate entertainment to the people of that area and their many sum- mer tourist visitors. Western North Car- olina is rich in the lore and traditions of art and its miraculous beauty is fit in- spiration for those who need cultural things for full living.
Dr. Frank Porter Graham, President of the Greater University of North Car- olina, who has throughout his long serv- ice to his state realized the value of the humanities as well as practical considera- tions in living as evidenced by his sup- port to such projects as "The Lost Col- ony" at Manteo. N. C approved the no- tion of a similar development in Wes- tern North Carolina. In his eager en- thusiasm he gave wise and valuable sug- gestions in the planning of the venture and convinced the Carnegie Foundation that it was worth considerable financial support. Because of his single handed intervention a substantial grant was forthcoming from this foundation.
The citizens of the Burnsville com munity. lead by their dynamic Superin- tendent of Education. Mr. Frank Howell, were inspired to provide the practical support and means for inaugurating the school. These means took the form of a splendid playhouse and ample facilities for getting the work off to a good start. The accomplishment would seem unbe- lievable even in a very prosperous com- munity. The administrative officials of the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, notably Dr. Walter Clinton Jackson. Mr. Charles Phillips, and Mr. George Joyce, have put the full force and strength of that great institu- tion behind the movement. The Veterans' Administration realizing the need of of- fering cultural as well as vocational train- ing have given strong and practical sup- port. These combined efforts resulted in a first-rate summer theatre and a school of fine arts that is now offering training and college credits in Art. Music, Drama, and Crafts. Within another year Dance will be added to this growing list.
DRAMA
The Parkway Playhouse of the Burns- ville School of Fine Arts, after complet- ing its second season with marked success.
is embarking on its third season with emphasis on "more of everything." This summer, courses in all phases of the theatre are being offered. These courses are planned to realize the cultural and artistic values of the theatre and its litera- ture, to contribute to the personal de- velopment of the student, and to pro- vide sound professional training for the educational, community, and professional theatres. Courses will be offered in act- ing, directing, scenery construction, stage lighting, literature of the theatre, teach- ing dramatics in elementary and secon- dary schools, and theatre management.
The Parkway Playhouse is a theatre and school where theory and practice meet. All activities are designed to re- volve around the students and all class work is directly connected with the ac- tivities of the theatre. The students will be trained under a large, well-known, and expekly trained faculty. In addition to classwork. students are expected to act and assume other assigned duties in each phase of the theatre under the guidance of the faculty. This enables each student to receive a well-rounded knowledge and ap- preciation of all phases of the theatre.
Housing: Students, faculty, and guest stars are housed in individual rooms in a completely remodeled dormitory only 5 0 yards from the Playhouse. The dorm- itory operates under a Counselor who is one of the regular faculty members of the Burnsville School of Fine Arts.
Dining Hall: Dining facilities are also operated under the direction of the Coun- selor and well balanced meals are offered.
Mountain view from the Playhouse
Admission: Men and women of all ages who are interested in the theatre and wish to improve their background will be considered for enrollment. To in- sure teaching efficiency and to allow the faculty sufficient time to give the student individual attention, the enrollment is limited to 5 0 students. The school is approved under the G. I. Bill of Rights and college credits up to eight semester hours are granted.
Fees: Fees are figured at $35 per week: $100 for three weeks: or $250 for the entire eight-weeks session. This fee includes room, board, tuition, regis- tration, and all laboratory fees. The ap- plicant must send a $25 deposit along with the application. This sum will be deducted from the total payment due on July I or 2. the days of registration. If

MUSIC
Courses in Music at the Burnsville School of Fine Arts are planned for teachers, advanced students, and the lay- man interested in acquiring a fundamental understanding of music. To this end a program of individual and group instruc- tion has been arranged. Courses in Music will include both private voice lessons and chorus work conducted by Professor Wil- liam C. DeVeny, head of the Voice De- partment at Woman's College. Individ- ual instruction and band work will be under the direction of Professor Duane P. Kline, also of Woman's College. The high light in the music program will be the consolidation of both the Voice and Instrumental groups with the Drama group in the joint presentation of the operetta "Tulip Time" near the close of the season. In addition to classes at Burnsville, both professors will also offer the same instruction at Spruce Pine. Pro- fessor De Veny's classes will be offered from July 18 through August 26 while Professor Kline's will be offered from July 4 through August 12.
ART
Another step toward the final realiza- tion of the Burnsville School of Fine Arts is being taken this year by the ad- dition of instruction in the field of Art. Several courses are being offered includ- ing courses in basic fundamental of de- sign, study of color theories, and other courses in painting at all levels. These courses will be under the expert guidance of Mrs. Callie Braswell and college cred- its will be granted for work completed on the undergraduate level.
EDUCATION
As in the past, the Burnsville School of Fine Arts will offer a large and varied list of extension courses in education starting July 4. In the past these courses were designed primarily for teachers in Western North Carolina who could not attend summer school otherwise. This year, however, they are being broadened to cover the needs of teachers from any section who might choose to take any such additional work in the cool, pleas- ant facilities offered by the Burnsville School of Fine Arts located in the center of the mountain resort area. These courses will cover three two-week periods and college credit of two hours will be al- lowed for each two weeks course. Courses will be offered in Reading, Guidance, Language, Arts, Biography for Teachers, Geography, and Cultural Comparisons, The work is under the general supervi- sion of Mr. Charles W. Phillips. Wo- man's College Extension Division, to whom all inquiries should be made.
Dr. Jackson Will Teach at Burnsville July 4-18
A special added attraction at the Burnsville Schol of Fine Arts this sum- mer will be Chancellor Jackson's course, "Biography for Teachers", which, we understand, used to be called "Represent- ative Americans". The course will carry two hours of graduate credit. The time, 8:30 to 12:30 daily. Place, High School Building. Burnsville, N. C.
Alumnae are invited either to take the course for credit or to audit for any length of time you wish. Regular at- tendance and preparation are not neces- sary for those auditing the course.
Woman's College to Offer Degree in Creative Arts
A Graduate Creative Arts Pro- gram centered in Greensboro at the Woman's College Division of the Con- solidated University of North Caro- lina will be offered for the first time in the academic year 1949-1950. This program leads to the degree of Master of Fine Arts.
The program is designed to meet the need in North Carolina and in the region for vi^ork of graduate grade with a clear emphasis upon compo- sition in the fields of painting and the graphic arts, music, writing, and the dance. Completion of the degree pro- gram will presuppose the attainment of a professional level of competence in composition in the art form in which the student elects to major.
The degree program consists of work in one of the four major sub- jects and in a related minor. Avail- able at the Woman's College are an interdepartmental minor in the crea- tive arts and minors in art history, painting and the graphic arts, litera- ture, writing, music literature and history, and the dance. Related mi- nors are also available at the Univer- sity at Chapel Hill and at State Col- lege in Raleigh.
The establishment of this graduate program at Greensboro reflects the conviction that distinctive advantages for the pursuit of graduate work in the creative arts are present here. The Woman's College is a residential lib- eral arts college which has for a num- ber of years given emphasis to work in the several arts and which possesses facihties adequate to support graduate study. The opportunity is present for individualized instruction from the strong staff of resident artist-teachers. For 1949-1950, this staff includes Gregory D. Ivy, painter, Randall Jar- rell, poet, Virginia Moomaw, choreog- rapher, Lettie Hamlett Rogers, nove- list and story writer, Helen A. Thrush, graphic artist, and Elliot Weisgarber, composer.
The program should be of value to those who would teach in secondary schools and colleges as well as to those preparing for professional careers in one of the arts. Adequate supporting courses in the literature of each of the arts are offered together with courses which meet the State requirements for graduate certification.

The Alumnae News
The above picture tvas made at the Boston Alumnae Meeting in Febncary. Seated: Allison (Rice) Willard '44. Left to right standing: Anita (Fife) Jennings '44, Jane (Tullock) McNaught '44, Mary (Bramble) Allen '43, Frances (Little) Park '41. Gcral- dine McKinney '48.
on Clarendon Street in Boston. The room allotted to us is a pleasant one, ideal for a friendly get-together. Shortly after two o'clock Mrs. Levin (Myra Siff '46), our president, opened the meeting by wel- coming the twenty members who had come, some of them from distant points in the state, two from New Hampshire, and one from Vermont.
Routine reports were made and then Mrs. Levin read letters of regret from some of the alumnae who were unable to meet with us on that day. Some of the coming attractions for our chapter are: a bridge party to be held at Geral- dine McKinney's '48, early in April, a Boston "Pops" Symphony night some- time in May, and a picnic early in June. If our plans materialize, we should be a very busy chapter this first year. At the next regular meeting in late April we hope to have as our speaker someone from the college.
Mrs. Levin asked the following mem- bers to serve as committee chairmen: Ruth (Schohn) Pilling '44, member- ship; Polly Claiborne '47, program; Anita (Fife) Jennings '44, nominating. Our guest speaker for the afternoon. Dr. Herbert Park, was introduced by Polly Claiborne. Dr. Park is at present connected with the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and his subject was compulsory health insurance. Dr. Park gave us a very interesting twenty minutes and willingly answered the questions and inquiries which followed. Perhaps we should add that Mrs. Park is our own Frances (Little) Park, '42.
Each alumna had been asked to bring pictures of her college days, albums, year books, etc., and the group enjoyed shar- ing these and comparing notes. While tea was being served, Mr. Joseph Wood, Jr., Marguerite (Smith) Wood's hus- band, took pictures of the group. It was 5 o'clock when we finally adjourned.
Those present were; Alta (Gillmore) Kimball '40, Eleanor (Palmer) Dennett '40, Judith Swift '40, Betsy (Ivey) Sawyer '46, Anne (Carter) Carlton '47,
Geraldine McKinney '48, Gladys Price '32, Lois (Swett) Abbott '36, Annie Louise (Smith) Haley '34, Polly Clai- borne '47, Frances (Little) Park '41, Anita (Fife) Jennings '44, Jane (Tul- loch) McNaught '44, Ruth (Schohn) Pilling '44, Alison (Rice) Willard '44, Mary (Bramble) AUer '43, Bernice Cohen '46, Marguerite (Smith) Wood '46, Myra (Siff) Levin '46, Ernestine (Halyburton) Macdonald '33.

N. B. Ohio Alumnae
Frances (Allen) Rostofer, 395 Carpenter St., Columbus 5, Ohio, writes: "I have been trying for the past year to organize an alumnae chapter in Ohio. I would like for all the girls who read the Alumnae News to write to me if they are in- terested (in Ohio, of course) . There are now three alumnae in Columbus, Ann (Munford) Traylor '43, Helen (Sharp) Leach '4 3, and myself. If anyone in any state knows of a graduate in Ohio, please send me her address and I'll go to work. Some- time during the next month I'm going up to Cleveland to see if I can find some of our girls and I'm surely looking forward to the trip."

Orange County
The Orange County Chapter of the Woman's College Alumnae Association met on Monday night, March 7, at 6:30 p.m. for a dinner meeting in the Carolina Inn, Chapel Hill. Miss Katherine Tay- lor, Miss Vera Largent, Mrs. Anne Carter and Miss Elvira Prondeckie were guests from the College, very welcome guests. Forty-four were present, including eight visitors from the Durham County Chap- ter, Jean Dickey '44, chairman, Linda Lyon '44, Isabel Pelton '39, Jo Whitley '44, Billie Rivers '46, Grace Haynes Page '44, Grace Brewer '44. and Susan Darden '46. Mrs. Claude Teague was also a special guest of the Orange County Chapter.
Miss Largent, class chairman in 1944 and member of the history department, told the alumnae about The Harriet Elli- ott Social Science Forum. The Forum has been one of Miss Largent's favorite topics since it began; since her talk the Forum is one of the favorite subjects of the alumnae present. Miss Largent re- created the intellectual excitement present on the Woman's College campus about the topic of this year's Forum: Freedom and Security. What are the bounds of Freedom and of Security? What limita- tions does Security place on Freedom? How much Security must we forego for the sake of Freedom? Since Miss Lar- gent's tribute to the fine speech of Mrs. Vera Micheles Dean, those who missed the meetings especially regret not hearing her consideration of these problems. Nor is the topic for the fall session of the Harriet Elliott Social Science Forum any less stimulating; the discrepancy between what we as a group know and what we as a group do. If Miss Largent gives many such talks, the W. C. campus will not be large enough to hold all of us interested in the Forum.
Miss Katherine Taylor's address was much better than anything so formal as an "address": she brought the alumnae back to Woman's College through an in- formal talk which was in truth a visit with the Dean of women, the faculty and the students. Miss Taylor briefly reviewed
May, 1949

the residence hall system which Miss Elli- ott created and nurtured, and she told about the immediate plans for improve- ments, the emphasis now being on in- terdormitory citizenship. After noting some changes in the faculty, Miss Taylor brought the alumnae up to date on the building program, from the laundry to the new library. In particular she dis- cussed the status of the Student Govern- ment, which is now re-examining the honor policy and its own position on campus. Miss Taylor made the alumnae feel the spirit of the poHtical campaigns on campus and the enthusiasm for the newly-formed Greater University Coun- cil. She announced the plans for this this year's Arts Forum, which has the honor of being imitated by other colleges in the country and which is a vital force on the W. C. campus and in the state.
After a forum, at which time Miss Taylor. Miss Largent, Mrs. Carter and Miss Prondeckie answered question of the alumnae about the college, social bedlam, and we all enjoyed it.
Sarah Virginia Dunlap '3 9, secretary- treasurer, was chiefly responsible for the arrangements of the meeting, along with Lorraine (Glenn) Simms '46, vice-chair- man. The menu was surprisingly good: stuffed grapefruit, chicken breast, aspara- gus, mashed potatoes, tomato aspic, cof- fee, rolls and ice cream.
Those present from Orange County were: Grace (Mewborn) Aycock '39, Marjorie Chapman '29, Jean Freeman '33, Katherine Freeman '29, Anne Garri- son '39, Pat Gravatt '45, Rosalyn Gard- ner '30, Rebecca Harris, Gretchen (Tay- lor) Hobbs '13, Mrs. J.

Alumnae Attend Music
Education Club
Meeting
The Music Education Club held its second annual Alumnae Weekend on Sat- urday, March 12, to which seven grad- uates returned to tell of their early ex- periences in the teaching world. About 35 girls attended the supper which was held in the Religious Activities room in South Spencer Hall.
After supper, the girls went to the Alumnae House where they spent the evening listening to the Alumnae and asking them questions. Those who came back to the campus were, Louise High- smith '46 of Winston-Salem, Peggy Mc- Iver '47 of Wilmington, Ruth Tilson Peterson '48 of Louisburg, Alberta Swain '48 of Roanoke Rapids, Elvira Massengil '48 of Dunn, Ruth Watkins '47 of Norwood, and Joyce (W est) Witherington '48 of Greensboro. An- other graduate, Nona Pate '48 of Aber- deen, was in town during the day and left a message of her work for the club.
The Young Composers Club joined with the girls in the meeting. It was a most enthusiastic meeting and plans are already being talked of for a similar gath- ering next spring. Miss Birdie Halloway, of the Music faculty, is adviser to the dub.
Miss Martus Presents Demonstration
A highlight of the program of the American Association for Health, Physi- cal Education, and Recreation Conven- tion in Asheville, February 23-25 was an all-convention demonstration in the Asheville auditorium arranged by Miss Ethel Martus, head of the Woman's Col- lege Physical Education Department, and vice president of the Southern district.
The demonstration program included a square dance by children from the Ashe- ville elementary schools, folk dances by women students from Middle Tennessee State College, tumbling by boys from Hall Fletcher Junior High School of Asheville, badminton and square dances by women from Western Carolina Teach- ers College, folk dances by students of Winthrop College, modern dances by students from Woman's College of U. N. C, tap dancing and apparatus demon- stration by men of the University of North Carolina, folk dances and tumbling by women students of Appalachian State Teachers College, and circus events by men and women students of Florida State University.

Annual Music Contest
The North Carolina Music Contest- Festival, which has given opportunity and encouragement to nearly a hundred thousand of the state's high school sing- ers and musicians during the past 3 1 years, staged its 1949 event at Woman's College. April 19-23.
North Carolina's extraordinary record for producing a large number of nation- ally known singers, choir directors, solo- ists, band leaders, instrumentalists, and music teachers is attributed to the annual contest-festival and the months of prep- arations made for it in the state's schools.
Fergtison Home at Taylorsville is Unique
Sue Ramsey (Johnston) Ferguson and her husband live at Liledoun. their estate near Taylorsville. The Case Institute of Technology's Alumni Magazine (Mr. Ferguson is a Case graduate) carried a most interesting description in the Janu- ary 1949 number. We quote in part:
Located three and a halt miles from Tay- lorsville, Liledoun (the authentic Scots pro- nunciation is Lilydoon) is an original and ancient Scottish settlement. When the Fergu- sons purchased the rolling acres composing the plantation, they viewed the plain, simply- designed farm house topping a gentle knoll and found it good. Then they set to work to carry out within some ideas of their own. Today the house is a completely charming example of simple elegance and spaciousness — a home lending itself graciously and beau- tifully to comfortable living and warm hos- pitality.
Carefully worked out by metropolitan dec- orators and artists, the uncovered windows in the reception rooms are of plate glass, framed on the inside with decorated panels, and bring the magnificent view spread out on every side right into the house.
In the living room, splendidly conceived and executed murals depict members of the household, its staff, and plantation activities. The third floor of the home has been opened up and converted into marvelous quarters for the Ferguson small fry and their governess, and an electric elevator makes commerce be- tween the three floors an entirely simple mat- ter.
Mrs. Ferguson, the former Sue Ramsey Johnston of Gastonia, has had, and is still enjoying, a varied and colorful career. She has taught school, been a domestic science teacher, served a large Philadelphia hospital as dietitian, conducted cooking schools, and is recognized as one of this state's ranking hostesses. At Liledoun. she thinks nothing of entertaining 200 or more people from all parts of the state at the annual October clambake, which is now one of the state's social institutions. For this event, clams are flown straight to Liledoun from their native habitat, and the clambake is prepared and served in the best New England manner. She was the second woman in North Carolina to be appointed to the State Board of Educa- tion ; she served her district with distinction as State Senator, and she is presently a mem- ber of the important State Education Corn- Social events of a brilliant nature are held regularly at Liledoun. There the great in education, politics, and industry are wont to congregate, and there history has many times been made, and will be made again.
In North Carolina, the Fergusons of Lile- doun are unique and, a visit to their family seat is an enviable and never-to-be-forgotton privilege and pleasure.
Mrs. Ferguson is president of the Wo- man's College Home Economics Founda- tion and a member of the University Board of Trustees.

Students Read More Serious Literature
Woman's College students are increas- ingly reading more serious literature, ac- cording to the annual report of Charles M. Adams, librarian. During the past year there was a distinct decline in the reading of fiction. The borrowing of non-fiction books led fiction by a mar- gin of about seven to one.
During the past year, according to the librarian, the college added 6,000 vol- umes to its collection to boost its total to more than 223,000 books. More than 91,000 volumes were circulated during the year.

Bertha (Sugg) McCullen writes: "Since my husband's death in 1944, I have gone back to teaching in Calyp- so, N. C, and find it as fascinating as it was in 1901 — it keeps me feel- ing young too. Even breaking my leg in 1948 couldn't keep me out of the schoolroom but a few weeks. It is truly good to have this employ- ment because I am in a sense alone, as all my children are in their own homes. My younger son, with his wife and four children, lives at the homeplace which is still home for me; the older one (who has two chil- dren) lives in New York City. My daughter Susan, known to some alumnae, lives in Merced, Calif., and my youngest is in Harpers Ferry, W. Va. I have a wonderful time go- ing by air to visit them. My friends at Commencement can prepare to be bored with grandmother's talk of those six little ones and of those visits which fill most of vacation time."

Miss Townsend is at Scan-itt College for several months of her year's leave of absence from China where she is superintendent of the hospital in Kiu- kiang. Prior to World War II, this hospital served mainly women and children, but due to shortage of hos- pital space, it has been necessary for them to admit men also. Plans for the future include expansion of the nurse's training program and head- ing up a public health program for that section of China. Miss Town- send was most interested in the ex- pansion and changes at Woman's College and also enjoyed finding out about members of the faculty she had known when she was here.

In addition to the usual commissary, p.ex., laun- dry, electric and water supply, cold storage, and so on, we have a swim- ming pool, golf course, tennis courts, bowling alley, gymn, and outdoor theater to keep us happy. Since Ja- maica attracts so many tourists, surely someone from W. C. will be visiting the island in the next two

We wouldn't for anything miss driving over the island to see the natives in their own picturesque envoronment of thatched roofs, banana and cocoa- nut trees, donkeys, and goats; and a weekend in one of the English-type hotels is very pleasant. Nevertheless, it always feels good to drive back through the gate. This is home. I send my very best wishes to all of you."

Penetrates to cold-irritated upper broncliial tubes witli spe- cial soothing medicinal vapors.
Stimulates chest and back surfaces lilis a nice v,-arming poultice.
While baby sleeps VapoRub's penetrating-stimulating action keeps working for hours to bring relief. Often by morning most distress of the cold is gone. Try Vicks VapoRub tonight!

DEVOE PAINTS
Featuring the 2 -COAT SYSTEM
This Dcvoe 2-Coat System doesn't try to saddle or shirk. There are two definite jobs for outside paint to do, and Devoe does them. Each coal does its specific work. The first coat locks the pores of the wood like iron, seals it against sucking up life-giving oils. The second coat is built to laugh off ultra-violet sun rays and weather, still sparkles after several years.
