JUNE 4 — Alumnae Day and the Class Reunions. .June 5— Bacr^alaureate Sj-rmou, and the friendly gathering of us all on the President's lawn. June 0--Cora- mencement Day and the Graduating Address ; the long line of capped and gowned seniors; admiring fathers and mothers and friends; the President awarding diplo- mas; hail and farewell! In the words of the old camp meeting song, '•When the Roll is Called up Yonder" on June 4-6, will you be there?
Commencement this year will follow very much the usual order. At eleven o'clock on Saturday — Alumnae Day — will come the General Assembly meeting in Students' Building. At one o'clock the luncheon in the dining hall. In the aftei-- noon, the pageantry of Class Day. The hours from 5 :30 to 8 :30 have been set aside for individual class reunions. The classes due to have reunions this year are: 1894, 1895, 1896, 1897 ; 1907 (twenty-five year) ; 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916 : 1922 (ten- year) ; 1931. In the evening there is to be a guest performance in Aycock by the Play-Likers. "Berkeley Square," a cliarming costume play, will soon be in rehearsal for the occasion. Dr. W. Taliaferro Thompson, head of the Department of Religious Education, Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, will preach the commencement sermon on Sunday. Edwin R. Erabree, president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, Chicago, will deliver the address to the graduating class.
When you come to think about it — really to think about it— how can you bear, how can you hear not to come? Depression or no depression, we alumnae must have our reunions. Jobs or no jobs, it's fair weather when we do get together I

E'aster Holidays — liow long in com- ing ! How quickly fled ! Now we pause an instant on third base for the home run !
Curry School is stepping high these days ! And all puffed up like a pouter pigeon. And friends, Romans, country- men—there's a reason! Listen — the Curry debaters won the state champion- ship this year, and brought back the Ay- cock Cup. The finals as usual were de- bated at Chapel Hill. The question was : "Resolved, That the United States should adopt a system of compulsory un- employment insurance." Katherine Keister, daughter of Dr. Keister, head of the department of economics at the college, and Nash Herndon, defended the negative side, and won the unani- mous decision of the five judges. But to pile Ossa on Pelion, the judges after- wards admitted that they had a hard time deciding not to let the Curry affirm- ative team debate the Curry negative team. Miss Anne Kreimeier, of the training school faculty, is the happy coach.
]\Iany generations of college stu- dents remember the quaint figure of Uncle "William, colored helper, shuffling along about the campus, lo, these dec- ades. His quiet though penetrating hu- mor is traditional. It is he who after long years of fetching and carry ob- served that "you can pacify the women, but you can 't satisfy 'em ! " He has a son, William Andrew Rhodes, who has been studying music at the Boston Con- servatory. More lately he is teaching and composing. One of his compo- sitions, "Poor Me," a fine negro spir- itual, was recently sung to an apprecia- tive chapel audience in Aycoek by Miss Schneider, head of the Voice Depart- ment.
Dr. Keister, head of the Department of Economics, has just completed a se- ries of seven weekly lectures, given to about fifty members of the faculty, on the present economic situation. These discussions have presented an illuminat- ing analysis of many factors bearing on the financial breakdown, and a study of governmental efforts to rebuild the eco- nomic structure. The work was given under the direction of the Extension De- partment.
Sylvia Thompson, young English nov- elist, particularly known as the author of ' ' Hounds of Spring, ' ' lectured in Ay- cock the last of February, using as her theme, "The European Novelist's Work- shop."
Renee Chemet, violinist, brought to a close the Greensboro Civic Music Asso- ciation offerings for this year. Her per- formance could hardly be said to climax the series, for there were notable con- certs to measure against; but hers was certainly one of the most enjoyable per- formances we have had this season.
The alumnae will hear with pleasure that ]Mrs. Charles D. Mclver is getting along well after the fall a few months ago which injured her hip. She is at her home on College Avenue, is now out of bed and using a wheel chair, and very much enjoys the many friends who con- stantly drop in to see her.
Dr. Faith Fairfield Gordon, of the Vocational Department, discussed the vocational interest of students at a chapel exercise at Salem College during ]\Iarch.
The Senior Class elected Margaret Kendrick class historian ; Mary Sterling, lawyer ; Millie Ogden, prophet : Roberta Johnson, poet.

Dr. Lois MacDonald, for several years Y. W. C. A. secretary at the college, is contributing a series of articles to the Independent Woman on modern business conditions and relations.
The pour societies have each given this spring a Saturday evening dance in Students' Building, making a series of four in all. The halls have been attrac- tively decorated with spring flowers and greens. Dance cards in the society col- ors have added a festive touch. And much, very much to the point, good music has been furnished by means of amplified records ! (Thus saveth we the price of an orchestra !)
As PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT, re- spectively, of the Student Governent As- sociation, Pansy McConnell and Pickett Henderson, retiring officers, and ^Mildred Brunt and Annie Lee Singletary, officers- elect, attended the convention of the Southern Inter-Collegiate Student Gov- ernment Association at the University of Alabama, in March.
Miss Marguerite Butler, of Brass- town, was a chapel hour speaker during March. She told of the John C. Camp- bell Folk School, the only one of its kind in America, drawing many of its pat- terns from Denmark, and contrasted the life in the mountain community as it was before the establishment of the cen- ter with what it is now.
Helen Kuck '32, of Wilmington, sis- ter of Wilma Kuck '28, will be May Queen this year.
The Abbey Irish Players, under the sponsorship of the Play-Likers, appeared in Aycock in matinee and evening per- formances on March 23. Their offerings were Robinson's "The Far-Off Hills" and 0 'Casey's "Juno and the Peacock."
Pine Needles is this year being dedi- cated by the Senior Class to Miss Lillian Killingsworth, student counsellor in charge of upperclassmen.
On Sunday evenixo, March 20, .stu- dents conducted a series of all-dormitory vespers on the campus. In the variou« houses, students themselves led the ex- ercises and made the talks. They were well attended. In New Guilford, Miss Abigail Rowley talked, using as her theme the twenty-third Psalm as ex- plained in the "Song of Our Syrian Guest."
Dr. John H. Cook, dean of the School of Education, and president of the North Carolina Education Association for the year just closed, in his address opening the convention in Charlotte maintained that economic depression is no cause for retreat; that "the last source of reve- nue on which the state should draw is the educational opportunities of its peo- ple." Not a new statement to be sure, but one which educators in responsible posts should continue to hammer on, un- til it crystallizes into an attitude of mind so strong in the state that politicians will not dare encounter it adversely !

The Speakers' Club is sponsoring a debate with representatives of Brenau College the last of April.
The Don Cossacks Russian Chorus, composed of thirty-six men. former officers in the Russian imperial army, received an enthusiastic reception from the audience composed, of college and townspeople at their recent performance. A picturesque group, singing unaccom- panied, with much of military precision in their stage handling, they greatly pleased. There was a wholesale demand for autographs afterwards: but one wonders whether the possessors, still in- terested in such things as scrap books and college histories, are very much wiser as to chirography than they were before.

Stella Marek Gushing, American- born daughter of Czeclioslovakian immi- grants, appearing on the lecture pro- gram, gave a lecture-recital on the peas- ant folk music and dances of her pictur- esque ancestors. Dressed in a colorful peasant costume, she lectured a bit, danced a little, played on her violin from the famous native composers, sang rep- resentative folk songs — all very charm- ingly.
In commemoration of the one hun- dredth anniversary of the death of Goethe, members of the faculty of the German Department gave two lectures during March for the college community. "The Universality of Goethe" was the subject discussed by Miss Caroline Schoch, head of the department. "A Modern Aspect of Goethe's Faust" was presented by Mr, John A. Kelly, assist- ant professor of German and French. A world figure, an ancient and a modern in the span of his conceptions and his activities, the great German still lives.
Miss Mary C. Coleman, head of the Department of Physical Education, has just brought to a close her year as pres- ident of the southern division of the American Physical Education Associa- tion. The annual convention was held March 30 to April 1 in Jacksonville, Fla., in connection with the State Teachers' Association. A comprehensive program was offered the delegates. In addition to directing the sessions of the physical education conference, Miss Coleman also addressed the Florida teachers on the subject of "Physical Education and the Modern Curriculum."
The Theatre Guild, under the aus- pices of the Play-Likers, gave a perform- ance of Maxwell Anderson's "Elizabeth, the Queen," in Aycock last fall. Eliza- beth Risdon did excellent work in the title role; George Blackwood made only a slightly less dramatic appeal as Essex. This is the third appearance of the Theatre Guild Company on the campus within the past three or four years.
"The Land of Heart's Desire," Ethelbert Nevin's cantata, arranged by Deems Taylor, was featured by the Mad- rigal Club as part one of its program given in Aycock Auditorium on Satur- day evening, March 26. Part two fea- tured Orchesis, with the singers inform- ally seated on the stage in a group ar- rangement as a background and as ac- companiment for the dancers. The work was under the general direction of Miss Grace Van Dyke More. Miss Minna Lauter, director of Orchesis, also assisted the students with their dance numbers. H. Grady Miller, supervisor of music in the city schools, was soloist.
In her lecture on etching, Mrs. Elizabeth 0 'Neill Verner, famous Amer- ican etcher, emphasized the importance of a mastery of drawing as a foundation preparation, traced the history of the art from the earliest engravings on steel armor, and discussed the technique of the work. Mrs. Verner belongs to that group of artists in Charleston, repre- senting various fields, which has done much to center the interest of the art world upon this beautiful historic city. Her most widely known etchings are those which illustrate the Charleston edition of Dubose Heyward's Porgy. And she is best known for her Charles- ton scenes.
Antonia Cortis, tenor, and Mar- gherita Salvi, coloratura soprano, gave a joint recital in Aycock last December. It was a colorful performance, notable for its touch of grand opera and bril- liant costuming.
A BENEFIT performance, ' ' The Streets of New York — or Poverty Is No Crime," melodrama par excellence, a revival of 1857, was presented by the Play-Likers as their contribution to Unemployment Relief. There were only a few vacant seats in the house, and the old stage ideals of villain, the lovely and innocent girl, the young aristocrat reduced un- justly to poverty, hisses, sighs, and tears were all realistically enacted.
George Washington: The Man . ,
The Statesman
Walter Clinton Jackson
^ Bicentennial z^dclress
GEORGE Washington is the foremost fi^ire in American History. His name and his fame fill the nation with an all-pervading aroma. His services to his country and his influence upon his fellows probably exceed that of any other American citizen.
A gifted orator has said that it is hard to overstate the debt we owe to the men and women of genius. Take from our world what they have given, and all the niches would be empty, all the walls naked ; meaning and connection would fall from words of poetry and fiction : music would go back to common air, and all the form of subtle and enchanting art would lose proportion and become the unmeaning waste and shattered spoil of thoughtless chance.
George Washington was not a genius in the common acceptation of the term ; but take from American History what he gave to it, and continuity and strength and vitality would fall away from it, and the story would be as a rope with rav- eled and twisted and broken strands.
It is not easy to recreate the past ; but if Washington could stand before us now as he actually was, you would observe a remarkable figure, six feet two inches in height, light brownish hair, large, light blue eyes, big nose (bright red in the wind or the cold), sallow complexion, face pitted from smallpox, bad teeth, dis- colored from drinking wine — false teeth in his later years, big hands, big feet. big bones, a very giant in physical strength, able to straighten a horseshoe with his hands, cracking nuts with his fingers when everyone else must needs use a nut cracker ; dressed fashionably and well with knee-breeches, black stock- ings, silver buckles on his shoes and at
liis knees, lace at his sleeves, a frilled shirt, and if dressed for a public occa- sion, yellow gloves on his hands and a dress sword at his side: dignified, som- bre, stately, reserved. This man is fond of hunting, fishing, riding, eating, danc- ing, and especially fond of the society of ladies, with whom lie is more at ease than with men ; a gentleman planter, a land speculator, the richest man of his day. owning upwards of seventy thousand acres of land, hundreds of slaves, town lots, stocks and bonds; a typical Vir- ginian ; an aristocrat, a soldier, a wise counselor, a patriot and statesman -. strong, courageous, honest, dependable, self - controlled, clear - headed, high - minded.
This man is the son of a reasonably well-to-do and well educated father, and a mother who gave him in full measure her own physique, but who in all other respects was at odds with her famous son. The father dying when George was eleven, he spent his youthful years with his elder half-brothers, Augustine and Lawrence, the mother living at Fred- ericksburg, and though possessed of plenty, this mother in her latter years was obsessed with the idea of poverty, complaining, begging, accepting gifts, petitioning for a pension: untidy, smok- ing her pipe according to tradition, dy- ing of an offensive cancer at eighty-three, only ten 3-ears before the death of her distinguished son. This man has but little formal education : a good mathema- tician, surveyor, and letter-wi'iter. but a poor gi'ammarian and poor speller — his Latin spelled 1-a-t-e-n. with a little /. Lie. a word which occurs with remark- able frequency in his diary, is always 1-v-e. Kifle is r-i-f-f-1-e, oil alwavs o-v-1.

He is preeminently a social person — the typical Virginia gentleman; his home a "well-resorted tavern," as he calls it. There are dinners and levees and picnics and teas and dances and the theater and card playing. He never misses the opportunity to visit the theater, and he is a constant player at cards, though his losses are usually not large because the stakes are never high. He is fond of dancing and does it well, considering his No. 13 shoes. Mrs. Gen- eral Knox reports that at her home ' ' the party danced all night" — -Washington among the guests. At another time, he danced for three consecutive hours with Mrs. General Greene.
He is something of a dandy in dress. In 1754 he bought "a super-fine blue broadcloth coat, with silver trimmings, ' ' "a fine scarlet waistcoat full lac'd," and a quantity of "silver lace for a Hatt," and from another source it is learned that at this time he was the possessor of ruffled shirts. A little later he ordered from London "as much of the best super-find blue Cotton Velvet as will make a Coat, AVaistcoat and Breeches for a Tall Man, v\^ith a fine silk button to suit it, and all other necessary trimmings and linings. ' '
He is very fond of the society of wo- men. He had his love affairs from early youth, was even so affected as to write poetry. Rupert Hughes maintains that he was in love with Nancy Fairfax, the charming wife of his neighbor. I do not know, nor does anyone else know posi- tively, whether he was or not, but I do know that he bore himself like a gentle- man in any circumstances. Pie courted Mary Philipse with an energy that de- served a better fate, and the vigor and directness and speed and the success with Avhich he courted the wealthy and beautiful Widow Custis is evidence of no mean lover. This wife of his, Mar- tha, is only a mildly interesting person. A biographer says of her, "Very little is really known of his wife, beyond the facts that she was petite, over-fond, hot- tempered, obstinate, and a poor speller."
(I am not responsible for the arrange- ment of those qualities.) In 1778 she was described as a " sociable, pretty kind of woman," and she seems to have been but little more. One who knew her well described her as "not possessing much sense, though a perfect lady and remark- ably well-calculated for her position. ' '
Further evidence of his fondness for the ladies is found in the records of his diary, containing a large number of such references as the foUomng: "—at which there were between 60 and 70 well dressed ladies"; " — at which there were about 100 well dressed and handsome ladies"; " — at which there were 256 elegantly dressed ladies." I have often wondered how George knew there were exactly 256 at that particular meeting!
At his wife's receptions Washington did not view himself as host, and "con- versed without restraint, generally with women, who rarely had other opportun- ity of seeing him," which perhaps ac- counts for the statement of another eye- witness that Washington "looked very much more at ease than at his own offi- cial levees." Sullivan adds that "the young ladies used to throng about him, and engaged him in conversation. There were some of the well-remembered belles of the day who imagined themselves to be favorites with him. As these were the only opportunities which they had of conversation with him, they were dis- posed to use them." And that this at- tention was not merely the respect due to a great man is shown in the letter of a Virginia woman who wrote to her cor- respondent in 1777, that when ' ' General Washington throws off the Hero and takes up the chatty agreeable Compan- ion, he can be downright impudent some- times— such impudence, Fanny, as you and I like."
It is as a farmer and landed proprie- tor that George AVashington was at his best. There is no more engaging picture of him than to see him rising at day- break, eating a hasty breakfast of corn cakes, honey, and tea, mounting his horse and riding forth to his farms, looking in
7 II H <^ LU M N A R P^ E W S
11
at tlie carpenter and tlie t^ardener and the blacksmith and the shoemaker and the weaver, examining^ his fine stable of horses, looking at his herds ol! cattle : down to the water mill and to the fisli- ery, and in 1797 to the copper still whei-e he makes both corn and rye, deriving in the year 1796 a clear profit ot' $1,700 from these operations and having 155% gallons left over. (I think there is no more revealing evidence of one phase of Washington's character than the record- ing of that quart.) Returning from such a ride he has a regular breakfast of ham and eggs, potatoes, honey, bread, tea, and other substantial dishes, and then pro- ceeds to his office for the further work of the morning.
Two o'clock in the afternoon is the dinner hour. There are always guests and a bountiful table. There is one dish that is served every day in the year at this meal, and that is fish, for the Father of his Country is inordinately fond of fish. He is also quite fond of wine and nuts and as soon as the ladies withdraw and the cover is removed, he will sit sometimes for hours chatting, cracking nuts witli his fingers, and tasting his wine.
He is shrewd in a bargain. He owns lots in AYilliamsburg, Alexandria, and other towns. He has stock in the Po- tomac Canal Company, the James River Canal Company, the Dismal Swamp Canal project. He is a good business man. When he learns that Philadelphia is to be the new capital, he quietly at- tempts to purchase a farm in the sub- urbs of that city, anticipating a hand- some rise in real estate values : and later, when the new capital is selected by him. on the baiiks of the Potomac, he hastens quietly to purchase a number of the choicest drug store corners, filling sta- tion and postoffice sites in the newly surveyed city !
He invests frequently in lotteries. He is interested in any number of big land companies. He owns upwards of three hundred slaves ; he has thousands of dol- lars in bonds, and in truth, dies one of
the richest, if not the richest man of his
Some reference to the religious life of this man is necessary if we are to get anything like a correct picture of him.
The story is short and simple, and is in complete accord with the other aspects of his life. He was conventional and or- thodox. John ^Marshall said with sim- ple accuracy: "Without making osten- tatious professions of religion, he was a sincere believer in the Christian faith and a truly devout man."
His parents were religious, after the manner of the times. He was baptized, with two godfathers and one godmother, into the Established Church, and con- tinued a member in good standing all his life. He read his Bible ; provided Bi- bles for his children ; he attended church \^dth reasonable regularity; he was a vestryman in two parishes, Truro and Fairfax; he contributed liberally to the support of the church ; and there are rec- ords of his observing fasts.
As head of the army he provided con- stantly for religious exercises for the soldiers, and in his letters and his state papers there are constant references to a belief in a guiding Providence both in his personal life and the life of a nation. While these may be entirely conventional and may not necessarily imply a revela- tion of his inmost thinking — he was a re- markably reticent man — there is no evi- dence to the contrary, and the justifiable assumption is that they are sincere. The apocryphal stories of the cherry tree, his praying at Valley Force, and upon other occasions, together with the per- petual emphasis upon his honesty and his solemnity, have tended to produce the impression of the awe-full pious, au- stere Puritan — something quite differ- ent from the naturalness, simplicity, and sincerity of his daily life.
That he was no joyless puritanical conformist is evidenced by the fact that he would not participate in the -commun- ion service, that he occasionally, though quite unostentatiously, went hunting or fishing on the Sabbath, and that he did

most of liis business "wi-iting on Sunday, occasionally closing a deal of some kind on that day. He owned slaves, he man- ufactured whiskey, he invested in lotter- ies, he bet on his horses, he drank wine, he swore on occasion, he played cards with stakes, he danced, and he attended the theatre.
All of these things were commonplaces of life in his day. To attempt to judge him literally by them as measured by our own statutes and customs would be foolish. Certainly no man ever had a higher regard for the proper observance of law, and for high-minded and honor- able behavior among his fellows. No one but a sophist or a hypocrite would dare excuse himself today by a comparison of his own life with Washington's. And if any of these things are vices today, whether so regarded by Washington or not, let no man conceal his own beha\dor behind the example of Washington, un- less he can match virtues with Washing- ton as well as vices.
When the sum total of his character and his conduct are considered, I am per- suaded that the pastors of our present day churches would be content to worry along with a congregation of men who would match him point by point in his daily life.
He was tolerant in all religious mat- ters. While in the army and while pres- ident he constantly attended church and worshipped with various sects and de- nominations, being a frequent attendant of Catholic, Baptist, Quaker, CongTega- tional, and other church services. His attitude is well stated in these words : "While we are contending for our own liberty, we should be very cautious of \dolating the rights of conscience in others, ever considering that 'God alone is the judge of the hearts of men, and to Him only in this case they are answer- able."
He chose to live the just, the upright, and the honorable life. That, for me, is sufficient. One of his biographers ac- curately and succinctly states the case for him, thus: "He made no parade of
]iis religion; for in this- as in other things, he was perfectly simple and sin- cere. He was tortured by no doubts or questionings, but believed always in an overruling Providence and in a merci- ful God, to whom he knelt and prayed in the day of darkness or in the hour of triumph, w^ith a supreme and child-like confidence. ' '
In presenting these sketchy biographi- cal sidelights there is no desire or intent to be facetious or derogatory, but simply to portray and reveal. It will not di- minish the stature of Washington — rather it will increase it — to have the full truth known about him. I do not belong to that number of men who seek to minimize his greatness or to lessen his fame. The more I study and learn about him the greater my own respect and ad- miration becomes. These glimpses into the life of Washington, the man, may in- terest or amuse us and may in some measure reveal the man, but they are relatively unimportant, for they are not the insignia of greatness and do not in- dicate the deep significance of his life and his work.
AViiy, then, do we celebrate his achieve- ments and pay tribute to his greatness? And what shall it profit us to contem- plate anew what manner of man he was, and what things he wrought in his day ?
A wise and witty Englishman has said that "the only thing we learn from his- tory is that we do not learn from his- tory."
America's poet gave us the typically American lines :
Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.
Combining the ideas and paraphras- ing the words of the two we may say that it is possible for men to study the lives of the great and profit thereby, but actually they do not.
The Father of his Country has been dead these 133 years. I fancy it would be somewhat difficult to demonstrate how manv sublime lives there were in

thcso yofii's fiTul ]\<)\v iriJiiiy of tlicin vvci'c attribiitabJe to a eonterri])]ation oi; the life of Washington. We may well won- der how far American thinking and American conduct hav(! been determined by him. He was an aristocrat, and be- lieved in a limited suffrage. We have universal suffrage to a degree unsur- passed by any nation.
He objected to political alliances with foreign nations. The greatest statesman in my opinion who has occupied the President's chair since he left it was the Father of the League of Nations. He strongly inveighed against the evils of sectionalism and earnestly besought his fellow citizens to compose their differ- ences. We fought the bitterest sectional w^ar of modern times.
He admonished the people to abate the partisanship and strife that would accompany the formation of political parties. AVe have had Whigs, Free Boil- ers, Greenbackers, Populists, Progres- sives, Eepublicans, Democrats, Socialists, and Communists. And we recall the elections of 1828, 1840, 1860, 1875, 1884, ]896, 1912.
He strongly objected to secret organi- zations that would seek to control by ul- tra or extra governmental powers. AA^e had the Know Nothings, the Union League, the Molly Maguires, and the Ku Klux Klan — original and revised edi- tions !
He spoke with feeling and eloquence for religious toleration. We have, even to this day, Northern and Southern churches of more than one denomina- tion; by custom and by statute we have proscribed many of our fellow relig- ionists : and we had the election of 1928 I
So, in participating in these memorial exercises I am under no illusions — I do not expect to see any moral or political renaissance and reformation growing out of them. I am not expecting as a result of these celebrations, all pervasive as they will be in the nation, any softening of the severity of the conflict that will reach its climax next November : nor any exalted lifting up of our ideals of con-
duct and of government. Neverthele.s.s. it surely cannot be tliat there will \)(i no profit in a reexamination and contem- plation of this man's remarkable career. His impact upon American History was greater, ijrobably, than that of any other single individual. At least there mu.st come from a study of him a surer knowl- edge of the elements of true greatness, and of the part a great man may play in making the history of his time. We must needs come to a clearer understand- ing of our nation and how it came to be what it is. And surely there will creep into our consciousness, if ever so slightly and unconsciously, something finer and better if we dwell long enough and in- telligently enough upon a life so splen- did and so useful.
AVashington is unique. He was not a brilliant man. Beside the flashing and scintillating Hamilton, or the fascinat- ingly versatile Franklin, his mind seems slow, prosaic, mediocre.
He was not a learned man — not even an educated man in the usual meaning of the term. Alongside the richly in- formed Aladisou. or the studious Adams, or the gifted and scholarly Jefferson, he was ever conscious of his lesser equip- ment.
He was not an orator — not even a fair speaker. His name could not be put among the Henrys, Otises, Rutledges, Lees, and Hoopers, as one who stirred his fellows to action by convincing and appealing speech. He wrote nothing of consequence — either on gov- ernment, or war, or morals, or art. or re- ligion, or philosophy. Even in the field of government, where his thinking was clearest and most influential, he has left us nothing — unless we except the Fare- well Address, the phrasing of which is accredited to Hamilton — to put beside the work of Hamilton or Jefferson or IMarshall. Nevertheless, he is the most commanding figure in our History. AA^hy?
The answer is to be found in his char- acter. He possessed more of the solid and endurino" virtues of men than anv
14
THE <^LUMNAE ^EWS
man in onr history, and lie possessed them in a higher degree. It is in the totality and nniversality of his virtues. and their identification with the life of his fellows, that we will find the true ex- planation of his greatness.
Woodward has very accurately said : ' ' He has been considered the least under- stood of our great men, when in truth he is the best understood. People have thought that they did not understand him because they could not see in him anything that was not in themselves. It was just in that quality that his great- ness lay. He was the American Com- mon Denominator, the average man dei- fied and raised to the nth power. ' '
I am inclined to think that courage was his most important characteristic. Courage is a rare and compelling virtue. It is the sustained force of life. Doubt, despair, discouragement, disillusionment are universal and assail us all, small or great. All life is tragic. Sooner or later comes to every man the terrible shadow of doubt or despair. Only the coura- geous carry on. Maurois states that the most characteristic qualitj^ of modern bi- ography is its attempt to reveal the fact that the world's great men and great women have achieved in the face of doubt. Washington possessed courage of high order. I do not here speak of physical courage, of which, of course, he had plenty; but of this heroic quality that holds a man steadfast to his course in the face of qvqty obstacle that may be encountered. This is one reason for the universality of Washington's influence upon his fellows.
Washington was a man of integrity. He was patriotic in the highest sense of the term. He was unambitious. He was disinterested, unselfish, impartial.
He was master of himself, though pos- sessed of a violent temper, with strong emotions and convictions. He learned the difficult art of self-control — he did not lose his head. When his officers, the members of the Continental Congress, his co-workers, even Hamilton and Jef- ferson and most of his fellow countrv-
men, were confused, distracted, discour- aged, wrangling, hopeless, he was calm, steady, and clear-headed.
He had an open mind. He possessed the remarkable capacity of weighing evi- dence with rare discretion. Free from prejudice, independent of selfish or sin- ister motives, he was able to listen to all of the conflicting clamor that raged about him and go straight to the heart of problems and difficulties.
He was a master of men. While it is true that he was reviled and abused by many of his fellows, no man in our his- tory has so continuously held the con- fidence of thinking people as he did, not only of the leaders, but of the rank and file of men. Nothing but his towering force of character held together the wretched little army during the trying days of the American Revolution. Even Jefferson and his followers, who dis- agreed with him in so many particulars, served him, as did hundreds of public servants, because of his capacity to in- fluence, lead and control men.
In the highest sense of the term, he was wise. Run through his long and varied career and we will find fewer mis- takes, both of judgment and action, than in the life of any other man in our his- tory. He took the measure of men and events Math deadly accuracy. He looked through to the heart, to the very essence of things.
It is a common but dangerous practice to use such a man as an argument to prove a present point, or attempt to put into his mouth words that he might utter today. Some years ago I found, by an ex- amination of a number of speeches, that Washington was an expansionist and an isolationist; that he was a free trader and a high taritf man ; he was a wet and a dry; he was a big navy man and a little navy man ; he was a Rotarian, a Kiwanian, a Monarch, a Civitan, a Lion and a Boy Scout !
If Washington were in our midst to- day what would be his attitude toward the League of Nations, the Tariff. Prohi- bition, and the multitude of perplexing
THE <t/1 LU M NAIi U^ L W S
15
problems confronting us? We simply do not know. We cannot call up tlie dead to bear testimony to the livin*^. We can only surmise. It would be interest- ing indeed if tlu; prism of that lucid, informed, balanced, and disinterested mind of his could be focused upon cur- rent events. It might startle some of those who prophesy loudest in his name.
We can take knowledge of the pur- pose, the method, and the skill with which he dealt with problems in his day. We know that he was high-minded, im- partial, honest, unselfish, patriotic. If our statesmen today possessed the same characteristics as he did, if even in les- ser degree, or approached public ques- tions in the same manner and with the same point of view, we could be content. We would not need to pray for the re- appearance of Washington himself. The application of Washington's principles and point of view by our own leaders would sui^ce.
A discriminating biographer says of him : "I see in Washington a great soldier who fought a trying war to a suc- cessful end impossible without him ; a great statesman who did more than all other men to lay the foundation of a re- public which has endured prosperity for more than a century. I find in him a marvelous judgment which was never at fault, a penetrating vision which beheld the future of America when it was dimmed to other eyes, a great intellec- tual force, a will of iron, an unyielding grasp of facts, and an unequal strength of patriotic purpose. I see in him too a pure, high-minded gentleman of daunt- less courage and stainless honor, simple and stately of manner, kind and gener- ous of heart. Such he was in truth. The historian and biographer may fail to do him justice, but the instinct of mankind will not fail. The real hero needs not books to give him worshippers. George Washington will always receive the love and reverence of men because they see embodied in him the noblest possibilities of humanity."
We do well to pause and contemplate
what manner of man lie vva.s, for, while the outward fonrj and circumstance of Jife may change from day to day, even a.s the fashion in dre.ss or the mode of travel or the customs of a community, the eter- nal verities of life are con.stants, A.s the simple but majestic monuments by the river, in the city which bears his name, is lifted high and stands a per- petual reminder of his services to the nation, even so does this man's noble character rise like some majestic peak, a sentinel by which we may chart our course in tlic devious way of life.

A SUMMER VACATION COURSE AT OXFORD
In July, 19.32, a summer vacation course for American women graduates and teachers will be held for the third time in Oxford. Those who attended the courses held in 1926 and 1928 will know something of the special character of this Oxford Summer School, or- ganized by the four women's colleges and the Society of Oxford Home-Students. The students will reside for three weeks in the women's colleges; they will hear lectures by eminent men and women, authorities in their subjects; they will have opportunities for discussing the topics of the lectures with Ox- ford University teachers, and they will visit places of historical and literary association in the countryside. Concerts and plays and excursions of architectural interest will also form part of the program. It will be an ob- ject to give students an insight into English life as far as possible, and to bring them into contact with the Oxford tutors.
The course will open on Thursday, July 7th, and close Thursday, July 2Sth, 1932.
The subject will be "England in the Eight- eenth Century," and lectures will be given on the Literature, Art, History, Polities, and Thought of the period.
The fee is $125, which will include full board, residence in one of the Oxford wo- men's colleges, lectures, classes, excursions and concerts.
For further information, address Miss Ma- rion L. Day, 39 West 54th Street, New York City.

The recent performance of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra registered a red spot in the succession of concerts here this year. Eighty- four men and one woman rendered a program of some of the world 's greatest compositions, and did it in masterlv fashion.
LISTENING-IN
To May Lovelace Tomlinson '07 the senior class of High Point College is ded- icating its 1932 annual, the Zenith. The theme of the book this year is music. Certainly no happier or more appropri- ate choice could have been made than Mrs. Tomlinson, for her interest in music and her efforts to create a widespread appreciation of it are well known. In honoring her the seniors of our neighbor college have likewise honored themselves. »♦. »j. ^
"Historic Happenings" is the sugges- tive and appropriate title of a series of syndicated articles which Katherine Hos- kins is contributing to Sunday newspa- pers. The articles are uniformly brief, and concisely and entertainingly disclose certain episodes connected with public life in the state. For instance, one learns how an accident to his foot turned the attention of James B. Duke to the devel- opment of electric power in North Caro- lina. Teachers of history should find these stories valuable as attractive sup- plementary material not lil?:ely to be found in the textbooks. And the general reader should enjoy them for what they
are.

The Bladen Journal in a recent issue carries a unique and convincing story about the establishment of a community center in Carver's Creek School, Bladen County. Carrie Tabor Stevens '20 is a moving spirit in the undertaking and is throwing an enthusiastic interest into the whole work. The Journal explains that Mrs. Stevens at the organization meeting held in the high school auditorium pointed out that "in spite of so much talk of depression, no family throughout the community has suffered for the three fundamental necessities, food, clothing and shelter, but that the community is
starving for wholesome mental diver- sion." Therefore it was proposed to establish a community center, with the township as the unit, to serve every or- ganization and every individual through- out the township, and if opportunity should arise, to cooperate with other cen- ters in other townships and counties. Programs of a cultural and educational character are carried out every two weeks, on Friday evenings, with mem- bers of the community taking all the parts. A string band, made up of local players, furnishes music. The simplest form of dramatics is used — comedy and tragedy are portrayed through readings, songs, sometimes without previous re- hearsals. Various persons take the parts in a sketch and act them upon the stage. Two words are barred in connection with the programs: "No" and "Can't"! The opening program centered around the life of Abraham Lincoln, but no two consecutive programs are being planned on identical lines. The great idea un- derlying the undertaking is this — that once every two weeks, all the people in the unit shall come together to learn together, enjoy together, live and work together, for mental stimulation and cul- ture. The possibilities in such an idea seem limitless.

Lula Martin Mclver Scott '21 is the
new executive secretary of the Young Democratic Clubs of America, a national organization recently launched with local state organizations as the federating units. Twent^^-seven states were repre- sented at the organization meeting held in Washington City during March, and it is proposed to form local clubs, com- posed of young Democrats, in communi- ties in each of the forty-eight states. At the present time national headquarters are in Raleigh, and Mrs. Scott has her
LISTENING-IN
office there. The Greensboro News re- marks that hereafter ' ' the world will be her country and to make Democrats will be her religion!" In creating the title role — for she is of course the first execu- tive secretary of the Young Democratic Clubs of America — Lula Martin will have the exhilirating experience of chart- ing out a path through a new field. She brings to her new job actual participa- tion in party politics during the last four years, especially in the campaign of 1928, when she actively campaigned in the state in support of the Democratic ticket.
Hail to Mary Webb Nicholson '24- '25, young flyer, recently appointed governor of the Southeastern District of the 99 Club, national organization of women flyers. Mary Webb is a licensed pilot, holding a private flying license, and is the only North Carolina woman in the club. The district over which she pre- sides is made up of seven states — North Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia. Flor- ida, Alabama, Tennessee, and iMissis- sippi. Miss Amelia Earhart is president of the national group, and from her the new district governor received appoint- ment. Much to the interest of many alumnae may be added the fact that Mary Webb is the daughter of Frances Cole '02, before her marriage a member of the Training School faculty. They live in Greensboro, not far from the col- lege.
Velma Dare Matthews '25 has entered upon her work as head of the Biologj" Department of Catawba College. She was chosen for this post to succeed Miss Mary Frances Seymour, who died sud- denly early in March. Before going to Catawba College Miss Seymour was a teacher in the Department of Biology
here, and was one of Vehna Dare's in- structors. After receiving her Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina in 1930, Miss Matthews taught a year in the Arkansas A. and M. This present year she has been associated with Dr. Coker at the University in the revision of a book relating to botany. Dr. Mat- thews' thesis, "Studies on the Genus Pythum, ' ' was published last fall by the University of North Carolina Press. The book is well illustrated by 29 plates, 2G of which are from original drawings.

"POETHV FKO.U TJIE STANDPOINT OP
THE Reader" was the subject of a lec- ture by Edward Davi.son, Kngli.s?i poet and critic, g^iven in Aycock to a eollef^e audience. lie also proved a delightful guest of the Quill Club in an informal talk at a tea. His dominant theme, no matter what his subject, is the intimate relation between everyday life and lit- erature in all its phases— the old as well as the new.
A PHOTOGRAPH of the .students and members of the faculty who took part in the Pinehur.st Archery Tournament last spring has been published in a re- cent issue of the Amsterdam Cllolland) Herald.

ROANOKE RAPIDS CLUB
ROSEMARY
For our March meeting we went to Tillery, with Mrs. John Ball and Gladys Cox as joint hostesses. After singing our college song and reading the club ritual, we settled down to a business meeting. Books have been loaned to us from the college library during the year, and a good deal of discussion centered around this feature of our club work. We also took up the matter of a visit from President Foust and Clara Byrd, our alumnae secretary. We are hoping very much that they can come for a meeting with us.
The feature of our program was a talk by Miss Cherry on "The City of Washington on February 22, 1932. ' ' She was present for its great celebration, and brought the whole scene vividly to us. Mrs. Jenkins, dressed as Martha Washington, added a realistic touch to the story.
During the social hour our hostesses invited us to the dining room, appropriately decorated with miniature statues of the Father of his Country, flags, and cherry trees. In the midst of such surroundings we doubly enjoyed red and white ice cream and cake.
Irene Gordon, Secretary.
