THE      ALUMNAE       HOUSE 


To  the  Alumnae 


y 


our  Building  Committee  is  happy 
to  say  that  on  November  20  bids  were  opened  at  the  College 
for  the  construction  of  Alumnae  House,  and  contracts  awarded 
to  the  lowest  bidders:  To  Chas.  W.  Angle,  Inc.,  general  and 
electric  work,  $99,474.00;  to  Crutchfield-Sullivan  Company, 
heating,  $5,345.00;  to  Crutchfield-Sullivan  Company,  plumbing, 
$4,925.00.  Total,  $109,744.00.  As  you  know,  our  own  Fund  has 
been  supplemented  by  a  grant  of  $51,400.00  from  the  PWA. 
Unless  something  unforeseen  should  arise,  ground  ,  will  be 
broken  soon.  The  site,  as  you  also  know,  is  that  on  which  Old 
Guilford  Hall  formerly  stood.  H  has  been  cleared  and  stands 
ready  to  receive  the  new  structure.  Many  of  you  have  already 
seen  the  plans  in  detail  and  expressed  your  enthusiasm  for 
them.  Those  of  you  who  have  not,  be  sure  to  come  to  see 
them  in  the  alumnae  office,  where  they  are  now  on  file,  at  your 
very  first  opportunity.  We  hope  that  you  too  will  be  as  proud 
of  them  as  the  rest  of  us  are.  As  you  will  see  from  the  picture, 
the  architecture  is  Colonial.  Hornewood,  built  by  Charles 
Carroll  of  Carrollton,  in  1809,  and  considered  by  some  critics 
the  most  beautiful  example  of  Colonial  architecture  in  exist- 
ence, was  the  direct  inspiration  for  our  House.  We  shall  keep 
you  informed  as  to  the  progress  of  the  work. 
Cordially  yours. 
May  Lovelace  Tomlinson,  Chairman.

.T  is  always  with  a  sense  of  satis- 
faction and  security  as  well  as  pleas- 
ure and  pride,  that  I  think  of  the 
Alumnae  of  this  College.  So  much  of 
the  College  is  in  your  keeping,  your 
numbers  are  so  large,  your  strength  is 
so  great  and  your  affection  is  so 
constant  that  there  is  reassurance  and 
inspiration  to  faculty,  students,  and 
friends  in  the  consciousness  of  your 
approval  and  support. 

Though  young  in  years,  the  College 
is  rich  in  tradition  and  great  in 
achievement.  You,  of  course,  made 
the  record  and  established  the  tradi- 
tions. During  the  forty-two  years  of 
its  existence  more  than  25,000  stu- 
dents, including  summer  session  stu- 
dents, have  been  enrolled  here,  and 
of  these  more  than  4,100  have  been 
awarded  diplomas.  It  is  this  great 
army  of  citizens  who  have  made  the 
College  what  it  is  and  have  enriched 
every  phase  of  life  in  our  state  and 
nation. 

The  College  still  stands  or  falls,  as 
of  old,  with  the  whole  educational 
program  of  the  State.  These  times  are 
critical  for  education.  May  we  not 
covenant  together  again,  as  they  did 
in  Mclver's  day,  to  fight  the  good 
fight  along  the  whole  front  of  this 
educational  battle. 

So  far  as  this  College  is  concerned, 
our  place  is  definite  and  axed.  As  a 
part    of    the    Greater    University    of 


it^fin^ae 


North  Carolina,  we  are  definitely  as- 
signed the  field  of  a  liberal  arts  Wo- 
man's College.  The  only  graduate 
work  that  will  be  done  here  is  in  the 
field  of  home  economics,  music,  and 
elementary  education — a  field  assigned 
exclusively  to  us. 

For  the  rest,  our  task,  which  has 
the  enthusiastic  support  of  both  the 
other  divisions  of  the  University,  is 
to  see  how  good  a  woman's  college 
this  institution  can  be  made.  Our 
watchword  then  is  excellence.  Excel- 
lence in  faculty  personnel,  excellence 
in  instruction,  excellence  in  scholar- 
ship, excellence  in  character,  excel- 
lence in  work. 

The  only  limit  upon  our  achieve- 
ment is  the  standards  we  set  and  the 
faithfulness  with  which  we  maintain 
them.  Standing  on  the  solid  achieve- 
ments of  the  past,  heartened  by  an 
increasing  enrollment  of  good  stu- 
dents, with  a  strong  and  united  fac- 
ulty, we  are  moving  ahead  with  plans 
for  further  reorganization  of  adminis- 
tration, a  revision  of  the  curriculum, 
and  the  strengthening  of  our  forces 
along  all  lines. 

We  bespeak  your  continued  interest, 
your  counsel,  and  your  assistance.

"hooking  Ahead:  the  College  and  the  Alumnae" 


T„ 


HIS  year  Founder's  Day  was  in 
charge  of  the  Alumnae  Association.  The 
program  itself  was  also  a  departure 
from  those  of  other  years  in  that  it  was 
featured  by  five-minute  talks  by  Dean 
Jackson,  by  Mrs.  Perry,  President  of  the 
General  Alumnae  Association,  and  by  a 
group  of  representative  alumnae  —  the 
talks  centering  around  a  single  theme : 
"Looking  Ahead:  The  College  and  the 
Alumnae."  This  year,  the  custom  was 
also  inaugurated  of  reading,  in  the  spirit 
of  In  Memoriam,  the  names  of  those 
daughters  of  the  college  who  had  died 
during  the  year  previous.  The  college 
vested  choir  appeared  for  the  first  time, 
and  the  invocation  was  made  by  an 
alumna. 

It  seemed  fitting  indeed,  at  this  par- 
ticular moment  in  the  history  of  the  col- 
lege, when  a  chapter  was  being  closed 
and  a  new  one  opened,  that  we  should 
pause,  and  all  together — faculty,  alum- 
nae, students,  and  friends,  take  a  back- 
ward glance,  to  the  end  that  we  may 
seek  honestly  to  preserve  all  that  is  best 
in  our  tradition,  and  "looking  ahead," 
see  upon  the  horizon  the  gleam  of  ever- 
advancing  goals. 

The  Invocation — 
Mary  W .  Gwynn  '16,  Y.  W.  C.  A. 
Secretary,  Leaksville 

Thou,  who  are  infinitely  wise,  infinitely 
loving,  who  art  eternal,  help  us  to  think  to- 
day in  terms  of  eternal  values.  We  thank 
Thee  for  men  of  vision  and  courage  who 
founded  and  built  this  institution  which  now

reaches  out  into  every  comer  of  our  state  and 
helps  mould  the  life  of  every  community. 

We  live  only  as  we  share.  We  thank  Thee 
that  they  in  their  Lives  shared  their  dream 
with  us  and  grant  that  we  may  give  it  to 
others. 

We  are  living  in  serious  and  challenging 
times.  May  we  dare  dream  as  they  did  of 
making  possible  a  society  in  which  each  in- 
dividual shall  have  the  opportunity  of  de- 
veloping  to    his   or   her   greatest    capacities.

May  we  dare  dream  of  'bringing  in  the  King- 
dom of  God  here  and  now. 

And  in  the  spirit  of  those  men  and  women 
who  have  given  their  lives  to  this  institution 
— to  its  growth  and  development,  may  we  go 
forth  this  day  to  lift  the  level  of  life  in  every 
town,  every  city,  every  county  in  North  Car- 
olina and  the  nation — until  the  earth  shall  be 
full  of  the  "glory  and  knowledge  of  God  as 
the  waters  cover  the  sea. ' ' 

Dr.  W .  C.  Jackson, 

Dean  of  Administration: 

This  day  has  been  set  apart  from  the  usual 
routine  of  our  daily  tasks  to  do  honor  to 
those  who  have  labored  before  us,  to  reex- 
amine our  present  responsibilities,  and  to 
dedicate  ourselves  anew  to  the  tasks  that  lie 
ahead. 

Those  of  us  who  abide  here,  long  or  short 
as  our  stay  may  be,  are  heartened  by  the 
presence  of  those  who  have  come  back  to 
share  the  day  with  us.  They  bring  to  us  the 
pleasure  of  renewed  friendships  and  the  in- 
spiration and  encouragement  of  experience 
and  sympathy. 

The  observance  of  this  day  is  no  meaning- 
less gesture.  It  is  fundamental  in  our  experi- 
ence. It  gives  us  a  new  sense  of  the  con- 
tinuity and  the  unity  of  life.  In  the  rich  soil 
of  the  thought  and  toil  and  faith  and  aspira- 
tion of  our  fathers  we  are  planted.  From 
them  we  draw  our  primal  strength,  and  stand- 
ing where  they  left  off,  we  will  aim  our  walk 
to  larger  and  wider  and  higher  reaches  of  at- 
tainment. Conscious  of  their  achievements, 
we  have  pride  in  their  accomplishments  and 
courage  and  confidence  to  go  on. 

As  we  look  back  today  on  the  history  of 
our  College,  our  hearts  are  moved  to  solemn 
pride.  We  speak  again  with  reverence  and 
with  gratitude  the  name  of  Charles  Duncan 
Mclver.  Nor  would  we  forget  the  goodly 
company  of  those  who  shared  his  vision  and 
his  labors;  and  the  chief  est  of  these  is  she 
who  abides  with  us  yet  and  whose  presence 
is  an  all-pervading  and  gracious  benediction^ — 
Mrs.  Charles  D.  Mclver.  We  would  also 
single  out  of  this  company  Dr.  Julius  I. 
Foust,  whose  long  and  faithful  and  effective 
services  constitute  a  monument  to  him  that 
any  words  of  ours  would  belittle  if  we  sought 
to  appraise  it. 

Deep  as  our  gratitude  is  today  and  as  af- 
fectionately  and   as  profitably   as   we   might 


dwell  upon  the  lives  and  work  of  those  who 
have  gone  before,  we  would  be  untrue  to 
them  and  unlike  them  and  displeasing  to  them 
if  we  dwelt  upon  that  alone — rather  than  tak- 
ing thought  of  the  future.  Dr.  Mclver  was 
everlastingly  looking  toward  the  future, 
straining  with  a  reach  that  far  exceeded  his 
grasp;  in  an  eternal  hurry  to  get  somewhere 
and  to  accomplish  something.  He  had  a  great 
vision.  He  knew  in  part,  he  prophesied  in 
part,  and  he  had  the  faith  that  could  remove 
mountains.  And  with  it  he  had  the  charity 
that  suffered  long  and  was  kind  and  sought 
not  its  own,  without  which,  one,  though  he 
speaks  with  tongues  of  men  and  of  angels,  be- 
comes as  sounding  brass  or  a  tinkling  cymbal. 
We  believe  that  we  are  in  accord  today 
with  his  great  spirit  when  we  set  for  the 
theme  of  this  day's  thought:  "Looking 
Ahead:  The  College  and  the  Alumnae."  And 
none  are  quite  so  capable  of  taking  that  look 
as  those  whose  sight  has  been  sharpened  and 
whose  judgment  has  been  quickened  by  fol- 
lowing the  course  he  laid  out — the  Alumnae 
of  the  College — followers  in  his  steps  yester- 
year, and  interpreters  and  guides  and  coun- 
selors for  those  who  walk  toward  tomorrow. 
Our  theme  today,  then,  is  "Looking  Ahead," 
and  our  speakers  are  Alumnae. 

Dr.  W.  C.  Smith, 

Head  of  the  Department  of 
English: 

As  appropriate  to  the  day  and  the  occasion, 
and  expressive  of  grateful  memories,  we  pause

"Adsum!" — present! — comes  each  spirit's 
answer,  and  in  the  comfort  of  a  common 
faith, 

' '  We  know  transplanted  human  worth 
Yet  blooms  to  profit  otherwhere." 

Mrs.  Octavia  Jordan  Perry,  '16, 
President  of  the  General  Alum- 
nae Association: 

On  this  forty-second  Founder's  Day  it  is  my 
privilege  and  pleasure,  as  President  of  the 
General  Alumnae  Association,  to  bring  greet- 
ings to  the  faculty,  to  the  student  body,  and 
to  our  friends,  from  the  thousands  of  gradu- 
ates and  former  students  of  this  College.  As 
alumnae  we  are  proud  of  our  College,  and 
rightfully  we  should  be.  To  us  it  is  the  best 
College  in  the  land.  We  take  pride  in  its  past 
and  present,  and  admit  our  ambition  for  its 
future.  The  majority  of  this  great  army  of 
graduates  and  former  students  are  naturally 
to  be  found  here  in  North  Carolina,  but  some 
of  us  are  to  be  found  all  over  these  United 
States  and  in  almost  every  nation  on  the 
globe. 

We  recognize  the  fact  that  this  College  was 
founded  primarily  for  the  purpose  of  edu- 
cating the  women  of  North  Carolina,  and  of 
building  through  them  a  finer  citizenry  and  a 
greater  state.  Nevertheless  we  would  have 
no  boundaries  placed  upon  the  reach  of  its 
influence;  instead,  we  would  have  it  known 
and  honored  wherever  women  are  thinking  in 
terms  of  higher  education — north,  south,  east, 
or  west. 

Any  institution  is  great  only  in  the  degree 
that  its  purposes  and  ideals  are  reflected  in 
the  growing  and  developing  life  of  the  stu- 
dent body,  and  as  they  are  realized  in  the  life 
and  achievements  of  its  alumnae.  Therefore 
we,  the  alumnae,  charge  the  students  of  to- 
day— guard  well  the  traditions  of  this  College, 
hold  precious  your  connection  with  it,  and 
treat  with  respect  and  gratitude  the  oppor- 
tunity that  you  have  of  drinking  deep  at  its 
wells  of  learning.  Remember  too  that  the 
eyes  of  the  city  and  of  the  state  are  upon 
you  wherever  you  may  be,  and  that  only  upon 
your  feet  will  our  College  move  forward  to 
levels  of  still  greater  usefulness. 

Naturally,  we  alumnae  ai'e  thinking  in 
terms  of  what  we  can  do  to  help  today.    At 


the  commencement  meeting  of  the  Alumnae 
Association,  we  took  as  one  of  our  new  ob- 
jectives for  this  year,  and  we  hope  for  all 
time,  the  task  of  acquainting  senior  high 
school  girls  with  the  opportunities  this  col- 
lege has  to  offer.  Before  this  year  is  over  a 
number  of  the  local  clubs  will,  through  meet- 
ings and  by  other  methods,  contact  high 
school  seniors,  who  are  college  material,  in 
behalf  of  this  College.  You  students  can  as- 
sist us  greatly  in  this  work  by  writing  back 
home  to  the  folks  there  and  telling  constantly 
about  the  good  things  which  happen  here  from 
day  to  day — in  the  classroom  and  on  the 
campus.  When  you  go  home  for  week-ends 
and  at  vacation  time — talk  about  the  college, 
intelligently  and  constructively. 

We  have  reason  to  hope  that  before  this 
scholastic  year  is  over,  the  construction  of 
the  Alumnae  House  will  at  least  have  been 
started. 

We  have  not  forgotten  that  this  is  legis- 
lative year  again,  and  that  the  General  As- 
sembly will  meet  next  January.  In  times  past 
the  Alumnae  Association  has  done  yoeman 
work  in  helping  secure  appropriations  for  this 
College.  We  worked  indefatigably  for  this 
auditorium,  where  we  are  meeting  today,  and 
we  stand  ready  to  put  our  shoulders  to  the 
wheel  again. 

The  College  asked  the  Alumnae  Association 
to  provide  the  speakers  on  this  occasion  from 
their  number,  using  as  a  general  theme, 
"Looking  Ahead:  The  College  and  the  Alum- 
nae." We  have  invited  five  of  our  repre- 
sentative alumnae  to  make  short  talks  on 
this  subject.  Each  of  these  women  has  made 
a  definite  and  distinct  contribution  to  the  life 
of  her  individual  community,  the  state,  and 
this  College,  and  we  are  happy  to  have  them 
here  today.  I  have  asked  Clara  Byrd,  our 
alumnae  secretary,  who  knows  them  all,  to 
introduce  them  to  you  individually. 

Mrs.  Emma  Lewis  Speight  Morris 
'00, 

Former  President  of  the  General 
Alumnae  Association,  organiser 
and  director  of  the  Rowan 
Comity  Night  Schools: 

How  styles  do  change!  And  garments  of 
the  mind  are  as  subject  to  the  whims  of 
fashion  as  the  clothing  trade.  When  I  was  in 
college  it  was  the  style  to  think  that  when 


THE     ^^LUMNAE     ^EWS 


graduation  day  came  one's  education  was 
finished.  Now,  like  woman's  work,  it  is  never 
done;  it  is  a  continuing  process — not  prepara- 
tion for  life,  but  life  itself.  Progress  is  so 
rapid  and  new  experiences  so  numerous  that 
no  individual  can  keep  pace  with  modern  life 
except  by  constantly  renewing  his  intellectual 
outlook.  Hence  the  many  programs  of  Adult 
Education. 

The  very  term  "adult  education"  is  com- 
paratively new.  The  belief  that  the  adult 
retains  his  ability  to  learn  is  new,  and  there 
is  a  new  concept  that  education  for  adults 
should  be  organized  and  have  continuity.  A 
well  known  authority  ascribes  the  cause  of 
the  adult  education  movement  to  the  indus- 
trial revolution.  Certainly  the  desire  better 
to  equip  oneself  for  the  job  he  has,  or  the 
job  he  hopes  to  get,  as  well  as  the  desire  for 
a  richer,  fuller  life,  has  given  impetus  to  the 
movement.  This,  by  the  way,  is  a  hobby  of 
the  new  United  States  Commissioner  of  Edu- 
cation, Dr.  Studebaker,  who  was  recently  in- 
ducted into  office.  He  visions  all  America  in 
school,  at  work  not  for  credits  but  for  the 
joy  of  learning. 

The  entrance  of  the  Federal  Government 
into  the  field  through  subsidies  to  the  states 
from  relief  funds,  has  served  to  emphasize 
the  partnership  of  the  public  agencies  and 
private  organizations  in  the  enormous  prob- 
lem. The  following  quotation  from  President 
Frank  Porter  Graham's  inaugural  address  ex- 
presses well  the  purpose  and  the  meaning  of 
the  movement: 

"Now  is  the  time  in  the  midst  of  depres- 
sion, unemployment,  and  educational  defeat- 
ism, to  envisage  and  lay  out  the  plans  for  a 
future  all-inclusive  educational  program  in 
the  communities  for  the  continuous  education 
of  all  the  people  as  a  way  to  use  wisely  the 
advancing  leisure,  to  substitute  cultural  con- 
tent for  merely  mechanical  contacts,  natural 
creative  play  for  artificial  and  empty  excite- 
ment, and  to  lay  the  intellectual  groundwork 
for  a  more  general  and  intelligent  understand- 
ing of  and  participation  in  the  affairs  of  the 
world  and  its  opportunities  for  a  larger  mas- 
tery of  human  destiny." 

It  is  so  natural  to  come  to  chapel  with  a 
book  that  I  brought  along  the  1934  Handbook 
of  Adult  Education,  compiled  by  the  Na- 
tional Association  for  Adult  Education.  The 
mere  enumeration  of  the  table  of  contents  is 
within  itself  interesting  reading  and  gives 
some  idea  of  the  scope  and  variety  of  the  pro- 
grams which  have  already  been  sponsored. 
What   the   movement   means    to    the    under- 


privileged cannot  be  estimated.  In  this,  "the 
People's  University,"  there  are  no  entrance 
requirements  except  the  desire  and  willing- 
ness to  learn.  Credits  do  not  count  towards 
graduation  but  to  a  richer  and  fuller  life. 
There  is  a  most  interesting  chapter  on 
alumni  education,  to  which  reference  has  al- 
ready been  made.  You  can  imagine  with 
what  interest  I  turned  through  this  particular 
chapter  until  I  found  on  page  23  this  para- 
graph :

'Looking  Ahead"  I  see  other  seminars — 
or  whatever  the  new  term  may  be — held  not 
only  here  at  the  college,  but  in  various  com- 
munities, when  faculty  members  go  week-end- 
ing in  the  homes  of  alumnae.  Yes,  Alma 
Mater,  we  shall  continue  to  look  to  you  for 
intellectual  guidance. 

In  the  last  minute  allotted  me  I  shall  at 
least  express  a  great  longing  to  pay  fitting 
tribute  to  three  sun-crowned  men — Dr.  Charles 
Duncan  Mclver,  Dr.  Julius  I.  Foust,  Dr.  W.  C. 
Jackson.  May  their  high  educational  ideals 
ever  possess  us! 

Mrs.  Laura  Weill  Cone  '10, 

Member  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees of  the  Greater  University  of 
North  Carolina  and  member  of 
the  Executive  Comm.ittee: 

In  the  five  minutes  allotted  to  me  I  am 
speaking  both  as  an  alumna  of  this  College 
and  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
the  University  of  North  Carolina,  but  mainly 
from  the  viewpoint  of  a  member  of  the 
Board.  Almost  four  years  ago  the  Legislature 
passed  the  Consolidation  Enactment,  and  with 
its  passage  began  deep  and  stirring  changes 
in  the  structure  of  this  institution.  Fear,  mis- 
givings and  confused  thinking  attended  the 
revolutionary  step.  But  now  that  sufficient 
time  has  elapsed  the  basic  plan  is  becoming 
more  and  more  clearly  apparent. 

For  the  future  of  this  College  I  cannot  hope 
to  state  the  idea  and  ideal  of  the  Board  as

THE     e/?LUMNAE     ^EWS 


clearly  as  President  Graham  announced  it  in 
his  last  annual  report.  Since  he  is  the  official 
representative  of  the  Board,  I  quote  his  words 
as  expressing  its  point  of  view.  He  said: 
"The  Woman's  College,  the  lengthened 
shadow  of  one  of  the  state's  greatest  sons,  is 
North  Carolina's  proud  answer  to  the  need 
of  a  distinctly  woman's  college  in  the  state 
plan  of  higher  education.  In  America,  accord- 
ing to  the  genius  of  our  people,  there  is  a 
clearly  developed  need  for  both  the  coeduca- 
tional institution  and  the  distinctly  woman's 
college.  In  response  to  the  two  needs,  North 
Carolina  has  made  provision  for  both.  The 
Woman's  College,  on  the  basis  of  past  achieve- 
ments and  present  hopes,  and  through  the 
loyalty,  dreams  and  plans  of  the  leaders,  fac- 
ulty and  alumnae  of  the  college  and  the  peo- 
ple of  the  state,  is  to  be  in  the  threefold 
University  a  liberal  arts  college,  distinctly 
for  women,  with  a  dignity  and  an  eminence 
of  its  own  second  to  none — the  rising  sun,  we 
devoutly  trusty  for  women  in  North  Caro- 
lina." 

With  a  Board  of  Trustees  of  one  hundred, 
only  eleven  are  women,  and  of  these  eleven 
only  five  are  alumnae  of  this  College.  There 
is  a  preponderance  of  Chapel  Hill  graduates. 
But  I  can  assure  you  that  from  its  first  meet- 
ing down  to  the  present  day  there  has  never 
been  the  slightest  hint  of  an  inclination  or 
a  desire  or  a  plan  to  diminish  in  any  way 
the  power  or  prestige  of  this  institution;  to 
overshadow  its  influence,  or  to  supplant  its 
place  in  the  educational  sun  of  the  state.  On 
the  other  hand,  it  has  been  plainly  evident 
that  the  entire  Board,  from  the  Governor 
down  to  the  humblest  member,  grants  to  our 
College  the  full  light  of  its  interest.  It  is 
plainly  evident  that  the  whole  Board  has 
attempted  sincerely  and  open-mindedly  to 
understand  this  college — its  aspirations  and 
its  problems,  and  is  looking  forward  with 
high  hope  to  its  physical,  intellectual  and 
spiritual  development. 

Of  course  changes  must  come  and  must  be 
accepted.  Nothing  is  static.  We  on  this  cam- 
pus cannot  hope,  and  certainly  would  not 
wish,  to  stand  fixed  while  thought  progresses. 
But  when  changes  come,  as  they  will  and 
must,  I  can  assure  you  that  your  Board  will 
deliberate  carefully,  keeping  always  in  mind 
the  larger  plan,  the  longer  view,  the  broader 
vision.  I  do  not  mean  to  suggest  by  this 
statement  that  the  governing  group  can  do 
no  wrong,  but  I  do  state  unequivocally  that 


its  purpose  is  unselfish,  fair-minded,  impartial. 
It  attempts  sincerely  and  to  the  utmost  of  its 
powers  to  see  the  three  units  of  the  Consoli- 
dated University  first  as  a  whole,  and  then  as 
three  separate  living  entities,  each  with  pe- 
culiar requirements  for  its  best  growth,  no 
one  of  the  three  subservient  to  or  over- 
shadowed by  either  of  the  others. 

We,  the  members  of  your  Board,  realize 
only  too  fully  the  material  handicaps  that 
hinder  us,  but  we  realize  also  that  the  scales 
are  heavily  balanced  on  the  opposite  side  by 
the  intelligent  loyalty  of  the  faculty,  by  the 
interest  and  allegiance  of  the  alumnae,  and 
by  the  fine  spirit  of  the  student  body.  With 
this  threefold  support,  bricks  can  be  made 
without  straw,  and  will  be  if  times  and  con- 
ditions so  order. 

I  shall  close  by  quoting  again  from  Presi- 
dent Graham's  last  report.  "Cooperation,  not 
abdication,  is  the  advancing  position  of  the 
Consolidated  University  of  North  Carolina. 
To  this  we  give  our  hands  and  summon  the 
people  to  her  side  for  a  great  American  ad- 
venture in  creative  cooperation." 

Mrs.Kathrine  Robinson  Everett'  13, 
Lawyer;  Tneniber  of  Durham 
County  Board  of  Welfare;  Tnem- 
ber  Board  of  Trustees  Stonewall 
Jackson  Training  School: 

It  is  a  pleasure  to  return  to  Alma  Mater 
to  join  with  you  in  paying  homage  to  the 
wisdom  of  its  founder.  The  foresight  and 
sound  judgment  of  Dr.  Mclver  and  those  who 
assisted  him  in  providing  for  the  education  of 
the  women  of  North  Carolina  was  never  more 
evident  than  today  when  changed  conditions 
call  so  insistently  for  educated  women  to  help 
solve  the  problems  of  the  new  order. 

Social  and  economic  conditions  have  radi- 
cally changed  since  the  day  in  1891  when  our 
college  was  founded.  Improved  machinery 
has  removed  the  need  of  physical  strength 
for  performing  tasks  in  industry.  Skill  and 
not  brawn  become  the  requisite  for  a  job, 
woman  took  her  place  beside  man  in  factory 
and  mill,  and  thereby  doubled  the  number  of 
workers  in  industry. 

Improved  machinery  touched  the  homes, 
lightened  the  household  tasks  of  woman,  and 
gave  her  more  leisure.  Woman  began  to 
emerge.  Nor  did  machinery  stop  there.  Ef- 
forts to  speed  up  production  continued,  and 


THE     ALUMNAE     ^EWS 


soon,  with  the  aid  of  new  machinery,  one 
worker  could  produce  as  much  as  was  for- 
merly made  by  many.  Production  increased 
by  leaps  and  bounds. 

Then  it  was  discovered  that  more  was  be- 
ing produced  than  was  being  consumed,  and 
that  many  of  the  workers  were  no  longer 
needed.  Unemployment  arose  to  alarming 
proportions,  and  a  world  depression  seized 
us  in  its  tliroes.  We  suddenly  realized  that 
civilization  had  become  top-heavy.  Physical 
sciences  which  helped  productivity  had  been 
stressed;  social  sciences  which  solved  the 
problems  of  distribution  had  been  neglected. 
Millions  in  America  were  in  dire  distress, 
faced  with  starvation;  hundreds  had  millions 
of  dollars  more  than  they  or  their  families 
would  ever  need.  Today  there  are  ten  million 
unemployed  in  the  United  States,  many  of 
whom  are  living  entirely  on  Federal  Relief. 

Civilization  had  become  lop-sided  as  well 
as  top-heavy.  In  America,  while  millions 
padded  the  streets  begging  for  bread,  wheat 
and  corn  were  plowed  up  and  dumped  into 
streams;  while  many  went  ragged,  cotton 
was  left  in  the  fields  or  was  plowed  under. 
Young  people  under  sixteen  were  forbidden 
to  work  by  two-thirds  of  the  codes,  and  yet 
2,200,000  of  them,  denied  work,  were  de- 
prived of  educational  opportunities. 

Such,  in  brief,  are  conditions  as  we  find 
them  today  in  the  new  order.  Never  have 
there  been  more  urgent  problems  to  be  solved; 
never  has  woman  had  a  more  challenging  call 
to  help  clear  up  the  difficulties  of  the  changed 
society  which  she,  unwittingly,  helped  create. 

In  this  hour  of  darkness  and  uncertainty, 
when  every  one  is  asking  whither  are  we  go- 
ing, educated  woman  stands  as  the  hope  of 
the  world  to  preserve  its  democracy  and  give 
it  the  needed  vision  of  the  future. 

Woman  holds  the  key  for  solving  the  prob- 
lems through  her  instinctive  trait  of  looking 
to  the  future  and  planning  for  it.  Woman 
naturally  looks  forward;  she  plans  for  her 
home  and  her  family;  for  years  she  lays  by 
her  small  savings  so  that  her  children  may 
be  educated  in  the  future.  It  is  woman  who 
primarily  has  dreamed  dreams  and  given  the 
race  its  vision. 

Today  all  thoughtful  people  realize  that  the 
new  order  must  have  a  planned  social  and 
economic  program;  that  the  future  must  not 
be  haphazard  but  worked  for.  Woman,  the 
idealist,  the  instinctive  planner,  when  edu- 
cated to  understand  the  new  social  and  eco- 


nomic problems  confronting  her,  is  equipped 
better  than  any  other  to  look  forward  and 
plan  for  their  children. 

Woman  has  a  great  part  to  play  in  the  new 
order.  Having  helped  bring  about  the  changed 
conditions,  her  spirit  and  her  vision  must 
dominate  the  world  to  save  that  order.  To 
preserve  democracy  for  civilization,  woman 
must  give  to  society  her  forward  looking 
vision  of  a  New  Deal  for  education. 

Our  forefathers  knew  that  the  fundamental 
principles  of  our  Republic  rested  upon  the 
understanding  of  all,  and  they  emphasized 
the  importance  of  education.  Today,  with 
more  leisure  than  ever  before  for  young  and 
old,  the  importance  of  universal  education 
has  increased  many  fold.  With  shorter  work- 
ing day  and  week,  many  producers  now  have 
the  opportunity,  before  denied,  to  study  the 
social  problems  that  confront  them.  Through 
code  elimination  of  child  labor,  the  educa- 
tional period  has  been  extended  for  children 
who  formerly  became  producers  at  an  early 
age. 

At  a  time  of  such  opportunity,  our  schools 
— the  bulwarks  of  liberty  of  our  democracy — 
have  been  crippled  and  retarded  by  the  pres- 
sure of  economy.  Since  1929-30,  public  insti- 
tutions have  had  a  reduction  in  income  of 
about  38  per  cent;  approximately  25,000 
teachers  are  unemployed  today;  40  million 
dollars  in  back  salaries  is  owing  to  school 
teachers;  and  in  many  localities  free  public 
high  schools  have  been  abandoned.  If  teach- 
ers are  to  be  able  to  give  thoughtful  partici- 
pation to  solving  the  problems  of  society, 
they  must  receive  a  sufficient  salary  to 
guarantee  their  own  security.  And  yet  the 
salaries  of  our  teachers  have  been  so  reduced 
that  it  is  estimated  one  in  every  three  teach- 
ers receive  less  than  $750  a  year,  when  she 
gets  it. 

It  is  woman,  for  generations  the  planner  of 
home  and  family,  who  realizes  the  danger 
of  idleness  for  the  young,  and  of  insecurity 
for  the  old;  it  is  the  educated  woman  that 
knows  the  social  problems  of  today,  who  ap- 
preciates the  necessity  of  teaching  them  to 
all,  and  who  sees  that  only  as  we  know  causes 
can  we  anticipate  effects. 

Your  great-great-grandmothers  who  coura- 
geously came  to  a  wild,  unsettled  country  to 
gain  for  their  families  and  for  posterity  a 
new  deal  and  a  new  freedom  had  no  more 
challenging  opportunities  for  service  than  you. 
With   democracy   at   stake,    with   civilization

in  the  balance,  may  you,  alumnae  and  stu- 
dents, go  forth  and  give  to  the  world  your 
vision,  your  courage,  your  spirit  that  will 
never  brook  defeat,  your  sustaining  faith  in 
your  country  and  your  countrymen. 

' '  O   young  Mariner, 
Down  to  the  haven 
Call  your  companions; 
Launch  your  vessel. 
And  crowd  your  canvas. 
And,  ere  it  vanishes 
Over  the  margin 
After  it,  follow  it. 
Follow  the  Gleam." 

Mrs.  Gladys  Avery  Tillett  '15, 
Vice  Chairman  State  Democratic 
Executive  Comm-ittee;  President 
North  Carolina  League  of  Wo- 
men Voters: 

By  my  presence  here  today,  I  wish  to  ex- 
press my  gratitude  for  all  this  institution  has 
meant  to  North  Carolina  in  the  past.  I  wish 
to  express  also  my  complete  confidence  in  all 
it  will  mean  to  the  state  in  the  future  under 
consolidation.  I  earnestly  believe  that  the 
hope  of  higher  education  in  North  Carolina 
lies  in  consolidation. 

I  have  no  fears  for  consolidation  because 
I  stand  before  you  today  as  one  of  its  early 
products.  When  I  was  graduated  from  this 
College  in  1915,  it  seemed  but  natural  that  I 
should  go  to  Chapel  Hill  and  seek  the  further 
advantages  in  higher  education  which  my 
State  offered  me.  And  I  felt  then,  even  as 
I  do  now,  that  my  loyalty  to  both  institu- 
tions blended  into  one  larger  loyalty  to  higher 
education  in  North  Carolina. 

But  my  loyalty  and  your  loyalty  to  higher 
education  in  North  Carolina  is  meaningless 
unless  translated  into  some  actual  service  to 
higher  education  in  our  state.  May  I  ask 
you  young  women  here  today  to  translate 
into  service  to  higher  education  what  your 
State  has  given  you  at  this  institution  and 
what  she  has  preserved  for  you  here  during 
one  of  the  most  serious  financial  periods  in 
her  history. 

During  the  past  few  months  it  has  been  my 
privilege  to  visit  almost  every  county  in 
North  Carolina.  I  have  seen  in  every  county 
the  opportunity  for  leadership  among  women. 
You,  young  women,  are  possessed  of  some- 
thing which  I  longed  for  as  a  student  here — 
the  right  to   be   citizens   of  North   Carolina. 


Do  not  treat  that  lightly.  When  you  go  back 
to  your  respective  counties,  look  for  your 
responsibilities  as  citizens,  seize  those  re- 
sponsibilities, and  through  them  create  in 
your  lives  an  active  interest  in  the  making 
of  your  state's  history. 

It  has  been  my  privilege  to  see  the  oppor- 
tunities which  are  open  to  women  in  the  po- 
litical life  of  this  state.  There  is  one  sure 
way  in  which  you,  future  citizens  of  North 
Carolina,  can  express  your  solicitude  for  the 
welfare  of  others,  your  grateful  appreciation 
for  all  the  blessings  you  owe  to  just  and  equal 
laws,  your  obligation  for  the  liberty  that  is 
yours  and  for  the  opportunities  which  your 
State  offers  you.  In  the  counties  to  which  you 
return,  you  can  take  some  active  part  in 
public  affairs,  in  the  political  life  of  that 
county. 

Each  one  of  those  counties  will  send  to 
Raleigh  men  who  will  determine  such  prac- 
tical matters  as  the  appropriation  for  this 
College.  See  to  it  that  your  county  sends  a 
man  who  believes  in  higher  education,  as  you 
have  been  taught  to  believe  in  it  here.  By 
participation  in  the  public  affairs  and  political 
life  of  your  county,  you  have  it  in  your  hands 
to  wield  the  power  which  will  control  the 
destiny  of  this  institution. 

And  so  I  say  again  to  you  young  women — 
translate,  as  public  spirited  citizens,  into  the 
political  life  of  your  state  what  she  has  given 
you  at  this  institution,  what  she  has  preserved 
here  at  great  cost,  and  the  State  of  North 
Carolina  will  give  back  to  you  in  the  de- 
velopment of  your  own  personality  and  in  the 
creation  of  active  interests  in  your  lives,  all 
that  you  give  to  her. 

Mrs.  Virginia  Batte  Johnson  '28, 
Teacher  Social  Sciences,    Wins- 
ton-Salejn  Junior  High;  former 
C  h  ai  r  m  a  n    Forsyth    County 
Alumnae  Association: 

Ten  years  ago,  little  did  I  dream  that  I 
would  be  here  today,  talking  to  you  as  part 
of  the  observance  of  the  forty-second  birth- 
day of  our  College.  I  was  a  freshman  then, 
attending  Founder's  Day  for  the  first  time. 
Only  when  I  face  the  cold  facts  can  I  realize 
that  it  has  been  ten  years,  for  it  seems  just 
yesterday  that  I  put  on  my  white  dress  and 
joined  the  procession  of  girls  who  were  going 
to  College  Place  Methodist  Church  where  the 


THE     e,^LUMNAE     5\^EWS

services  were  held.  That  was  before  the  erec- 
tion of  this  magnificent  auditorium.  My 
mother  had  read  in  the  catalogue  that  I  was 
supposed  to  have  a  white  dress  for  Founder's 
Day,  so  that  special  dress  was  packed  along 
with  the  umbrella,  raincoat  and  overshoes  that 
the  catalogue  also  specified  as  necessary.  I 
am  delighted  that  I  may  pay  tribute  today 
to  the  sacred  memory  of  Dr.  Mclver  and  of 
the  other  pioneer  members  of  the  faculty; 
that  I  may  express  my  gratitude  to  my  Col- 
lege for  the  happy  hours  and  worthwhile 
activities  that  I  experienced  here. 

Dr.  Jackson,  whom  today  we  greet  as  the 
leader  of  our  great  College,  was  then  the  head 
of  the  History  Department,  and  thus  my  ma- 
jor professor.  I  know  he  still  possesses  the 
delightful  twinkle  in  his  eye  and  the  warm 
smile  that  charmed  me  as  I  listened  to  his 
fascinating  stories  in  American  History. 

The  College  expanded  rapidly  while  I  was 
here.  The  Music  Building,  the  Physical  Edu- 
cation Building,  Curry  Building,  the  heating 
plant,  Guilford  and  Mary  Foust  dormitories, 
and  Aycock  Auditorium  were  built.  But  I 
envy  you  the  privilege  I  trust  you  will  soon 
have — that  of  seeing  the  walls  rise  of  that 
long  -  hoped  -  for,  long  -  wished  -  for  Alumnae 
House.  I  am  glad  that  it  is  to  be  a  reality, 
thus  fulfilling  the  long-cherished  dream  of 
thousands  of  women  in  North  Carolina. 

I  want  you  to  think  with  me  for  a  moment 
as  to  how  the  College  and  the  alumnae  may 
work  together  to  make  a  better  college,  a 
better  state,  and  a  better  nation.  Now  you 
are  divided  into  classes — freshman,  sophomore, 
junior  and  senior;  soon  you  will  be  united  as 
alumnae.  What  may  the  College  expect  of 
you  as  alumnae? 

1.  We  alumnae  should  give  this  College  our 
love,  our  interest;  a  measure  of  our  thought, 
time,  and  resources.  One  sure  proof  of  loyalty 
is  membership  in  the  Alumnae  Association. 

2.  We  alumnae  should  make  a  great  con- 
tribution to  the  College  by  spreading  its  good 
name  and  its  opportunities  among  prospective 
students.  Hold  your  college  banner  high.  Tell 
the  whole  world  that  the  advantages,  the 
equipment,  the  buildings,  the  faculty  found 
heie  are  not  to  be  surpassed — and  seldom 
equalled — in  the  entire  nation. 

3.  We  alumnae  should  do  our  part  as  citi- 
zens. The  knowledge  and  the  experiences 
resulting  from  your  four  years  spent  in  a 
college  of  liberal  thinking  should  be  felt  in 
every    organization    and    every    activity   not 


only   in   our   local   communities,    but   also   in 
this  state. 

Looking  at  the  other  side  of  the  question: 
What  may  the  alumnae  expect  of  the  College? 
Men  may  keep  their  college  ties  vitally  alive 
by  going  back  to  their  colleges  for  football 
games,  smokers,  and  fraternity  house  parties. 
I  am  not  suggesting  that  this  College  develop 
football  teams,  but  we  do  want  more  activi- 
ties more  in  keeping  with  the  interests  of 
women.  Our  College  must  offer  to  the  alum- 
nae opportunities  for  frequent  visits  to  the 
campus,  for  if  we  are  to  be  able  to  represent 
it  truly  to  prospective  students,  to  our  friends, 
to  citizens  in  general,  we  must  keep  close  to 
it,  must  know  its  purposes  and  ideals,  must 
be  familiar  with  its  inner  life.  The  Seminars 
held  several  years  ago  offered  golden  oppor- 
tunities to  busy  women;  I  found  all  of  them 
most  interesting  and  worth  while.  Let  us 
resume  them  as  soon  as  possible.  With  the 
completion  of  the  alumnae  building,  we 
thousands  of  alumnae  will  put  our  shoulder 
to  the  wheel  as  never  before  and  find  our- 
selves cooperating  in  a  program  which  will 
bring  us  back  again  to  find  fellowship,  learn- 
ing, and  inspiration.  In  addition,  may  we  also 
have  frequent  visits  from  the  members  of  our 
faculty  and  our  popular  alumnae  secretary. 
It  is  my  birthday  wish  that  the  relations  be- 
tween the  ever-increasing  body  of  alumnae 
and  our  beloved  College  may  grow  stronger 
and  more  permanent  day  by  day,  so  that  we 
may  truly  sing — 

Dear  Alma  Mater,  strong  and  great. 

We  never  shall  forget 
The  gratitude  we  owe  to  you 

A  never  ending  debt; 
All  honor  to  your  name  we  give 

And  love  we  pledge  anew. 
Unfailing  loyalty  we  bring 

O  college  dear,  to  you.

President  Graham 

Presents  the  Budget 


JTrESIDENT  graham  made  a  tell- 
ing appeal  in  behalf  of  the  three  units  of 
the  Consolidated  University  at  the  ses- 
sion of  the  Advisory  Budget  Commission 
held  in  Raleigh  on  September  25.  There 
are  those  who  say  his  speech  on  this  oc- 
casion represented  the  high  water  mark 
of  his  educational  statesmanship. 
The  opening  paragraph  reads : 

"The  University  of  North  Carolina  in  pre- 
senting this  budget  wishes  to  cooperate  with 
the  state  to  the  utmost  of  its  resources  in 
working  through  the  present  financial  diffi- 
culties. The  sacrifices  of  its  faculties  and  the 
whole  spirit  of  the  three  consolidated  institu- 
tions, along  with  the  state  and  all  its  public 
servants,  tell  their  own  story  of  cooperation 
and  determination.  The  university  stands, 
falls  or  goes  forward  with  the  people  of  North 
Carolina.  We  place  this  budget  in  your  hands 
to  be  considered  on  its  merits  in  fair  relation 
to  all  the  other  institutions,  departments  and 
great  public  agencies  of  the  people.  We  ask 
for  fair,  not  preferential,  consideration.  We 
realize  the  desperate  situation  of  the  public 
school  teachers,  the  employees  of  the  highway 
department,  the  needs  of  the  public  health 
service  and  public  welfare  departments,  the 
needs  of  the  workers  and  the  inmates  in  the 
humanitarian  institutions,  all  the  employees 
in  the  state  departments,  and  all  others  in  the 
public  service  in  North  Carolina.  We  have 
some  understanding  of  the  state  's  fiscal  prob- 
lems, the  difficulties  of  solving  them.  In  this 
spirit  we   i^resent   this  budget." 

The  budget  request  for  the  total  re- 
quirements of  the  three  units  for  the 
year  1935-36  amounts  to  $3,354,332.  This 
represents  an  increase  of  $646,361,  or 
23.8  per  cent.  The  budget  request  for 
the  total  requirements  of  the  three  units 
for  the  year  1936-37  amounts  to  $3,393,- 
694.  This  represents  an  increase  of 
$686,623,  or  an  increase  of  25  per  cent. 
In  view  of  the  accumulative  salary  cuts, 


and  of  the  present  rise  in  prices,  Presi- 
dent Graham  said  that  an  increase  of  25 
per  cent  in  the  salary  scale  was  included. 
The  requested  appropriation  is  around 
one-half  million  dollars  below  the  appro- 
priation made  in  1928-29. 

Now  is  the  time  for  the  alumnae  to  be- 
gin to  think  and  talk  adequate  support 
for  the  whole  program  of  education  in 
North  Carolina,  from  the  needs  of  the 
pre-school  child  to  the  graduate  work  of 
the  University,  and  to  lend  their  indi- 
vidual assistance  in  all  possible  w^ays. 
Think  adequate  support  of  education, 
teach  it,  talk  it,  work  for  it,  in  and  out 
of  season !   And  it  will  come. 


With  pride  and'  satisfaction  the  Class  of  1916 
presents  to  the  alumnae  body  the  first 
class  baby,  Naomi  Pate  Craver,  fresh- 
man daughter  of  Naomi  Pate 
(Mrs.  R.  G.  Craver), 
Alexandria,  Va. 


Maude  Broadaway  Goodwin   -   - 

Class  of  1893 

w 


HEN  the  college  was  opened  in 
the  fall  of  1892,  eleven  young  women 
entered  as  "seniors,"  to  be  known  for- 
ever after  in  the  history  of  the  college  as 
members  of  the  first  graduating  class, 
the  Class  of  1893.  Maude  Fuller  Broad- 
away was  one  of  these.  Of  these  eleven 
entrants  one  died  during  the  first  event- 
ful year,  so  that  ten  came  to  receive 
their  diplomas  together  on  graduation 
day.  In  all  the  forty-two  years  which 
have  passed  since  then,  the  class  re- 
mained unbroken,  with  one  exception, 
until  touched  by  the  finger  of  God, 
Maude  Broadaway  fell  asleep  on  June  2, 
at  her  home  in  Morganton.  Of  the 
original  eleven,  eight  remain  today. 

Maude  Broadaway  had  already  gradu- 
ated from  Old  Salem  Academy  before 
entering  this  college.  In  fact,  nearly  all, 
if  not  each  one,  of  those  first  women  had 
completed  a  course  of  study  at  some 
other  institution.  During  her  first  year, 
in  addition  to  her  work  as  a  student,  she 
was  in  charge  of  the  physical  education 
work  of  the  new  institution.    The  next 


year  she  remained  in  that  capacity,  but 
in  June,  1894,  was  married  to  Dr.  E. 
McK.  Goodwin,  the  recently  appointed 
superintendent  of  the  school  he  had 
been  instrumental  in  founding  at  Mor- 
ganton for  the  education  of  the  North 
Carolina  deaf. 

The  years  of  Mrs.  Goodwin's  life  that 
followed  were  rich  in  service  that  might 
truthfully  be  described  as  distinguished. 
Her  interest  in  her  husband's  work  and 
the  unfailing  inspiration  she  gave  him 
is  well  known.  Her  contribution  to  the 
cause  of  religion,  especially  through  the 
channel  of  the  Methodist  Church,  was 
notable.  She  was  the  first  woman  to  be 
elected  to  the  Board  of  Stewards  of  the 
Methodist  Church  in  Morganton.  For 
many  years  she  was  also  director  of 
the  missionary  activities  of  the  Western 
North  Carolina  Conference,  writing 
thousands  of  letters,  outlining  programs 
too  numerous  to  mention,  making  trip 
after  trip  here  and  there  in  the  inter- 
est of  her  beloved  cause.  She  was 
no  less  active  in  civic  affairs.    She  was

THE     ALUMNAE     ^EWS 


a  charter  member  of  the  pioneer  Wo- 
man 's  Club  of  Morganton  —  the  Book 
Club.  The  Public  Library  of  her  city 
may  be  truthfully  called  the  child  of  her 
thought  and  planning  and  effort,  for  she 
took  the  lead  in  its  establishment,  refus- 
ing to  give  up  when  success  seemed  im- 
possible, and  was  president  of  the  Li- 
brary Association  until  the  time  of  her 
death.  Her  interest  in  the  college  was 
marked.  Always  we  regarded  her  as  an 
outstanding  alumna,  one  upon  whom  we 
could  depend  for  aid  of  every  kind.  One 
of  her  last  trips  away  from  home  was  to 
attend  the  reunion  of  her  class  here  at 
the  college  in  June,  1933. 

Her  intense  love  for  animals  and  for 
flowers  —  she  was  nearly  always  to  be 
seen  with  one  of  her  dogs,  and  she  could 
make  anything  grow  in  the  garden  —  is 
one  of  the  beautiful  memories  she  has 
left  to  her  family  and  friends. 

But  perhaps  the  crowning  glory  of 
her  life  is  to  be  found  in  her  four  daugh- 
ters. With  singular  loyalty  she  sent 
them  all  to  her  alma  mater.  All  of  them 
graduated,  and  all  of  them  are  serving 
in  the  world  today.  Louise  Goodwin, 
now  Mrs.  Carl  Rankin,  of  New  York 
City,  is  a  member  of  the  Class  of  1916. 
In  addition  she  has  a  master's  degree  in 
English  from  Columbia  University.  For 
several  years,  she  and  her  husband  lived 
in  China,  where  Dr.  Rankin  was  a  pro- 
fessor in  Ling  Naan  University.  They 
have  two  small  sons.  Miriam  Goodwin 
graduated  in  1923.  She  gave  practical 
exemplification  of  her  mother's  deep  in- 
terest in  missions,  for  she  taught  for 
three  years  in  the  American  School  at 
Songdo,  Korea.  These  years  in  mission 
service  were  followed  by  continued  study 
at  Hartford  Seminary,  where  she  re- 
ceived her  master's  degree  in  Religious 
Education,  and  by  later  study  in  the 
School  of/ Religion  at  Duke  University. 
Maude  Goodwin  is  a  member  of  the 
Class  of  1925.  She  also  has  an  M.A. 
degree  from  Columbia  University,  and 
lives  in  New  York  City,  where  she 
teaches  in  a  school  for  the  deaf.    Dr. 


Edith  Goodwin,  member  of  the  Class  of 
1926,  graduated  in  medicine  from  the 
Woman's  Medical  College  in  Philadel- 
phia, and  after  serving  her  internship 
in  the  Los  Angeles  General  Hospital,  is 
engaged  in  the  practice  of  medicine  in 
her  home  town,  Morganton. 

Thus  runs  the  tale.  The  reaches  of  the 
imagination  cannot  find  the  end. 
Teacher,  wife,  mother ;  educational,  re- 
ligious, civic  leader ;  daughters  and 
grandchildren.  Wave  upon  wave  of  in- 
fluence, reaching  out  and  around  and 
beyond  into  eternity  itself.  How  alive 
and  multiplied  she  is  today  —  Maude 
Broadaway  Goodwin !

Phi  Beta  Kappa  Established 
at  Woman's  College 


A, 


1 


.BOUT  tlie  middle  of  September, 
word  came  from  the  Triennial  Council 
of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  meeting  then  in 
Cincinnati,  that  the  petition  of  this  col- 
lege for  Phi  Beta  Kappa  had  been 
granted.  The  organization  here  will  be 
a  section  of  the  Alpha  chapter  of  North 
Carolina,  located  at  the  Chapel  Hill  unit 
of  the  University.  This  section  will  have 
its  own  organization  and  officers,  and 
conduct  its  own  affairs,  with  certain 
supervision  by  the  chapter  at  Chapel 
Hill. 

The  new  organization  replaces  the 
Honor  Society,  organized  in  1931  for 
the  purpose  of  securing  Phi  Beta  Kappa, 
and  students  will  this  year  be  elected  to 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  instead  of  to  the  Honor 
Society.  Only  those  pursuing  A.B.  de- 
grees are  eligible  for  membership. 

At  the  present  time  committees  in  the 
Honor  Society  are  at  work  making  plans 
for  the  ceremonies  in  connection  with 
the  installation  of  the  new  order.  An- 
other committee  is  at  work  on  the  consti- 
tution and  by-laws  and  other  mechanics 
of  the  organization.  Until  the  section 
has  been  installed  nothing  of  course  can 
be  said  about  the  exact  requirements  in 
scholarship  for  candidates,  or  regarding 
the  inclusion  of  alumnae  among  its 
number.  These  matters  will  become 
known  later. 

Dr.  Key  L.  Barkley,  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Psychology,  is  chairman  of  the 
faculty  committee  which  has  been  in 
charge  of  the  preparation  of  the  petition 
to  the  National  Council.  Dr.  Barkley  and 
his  committee  speak  with  enthusiasm  of 
the  assistance  given  them  by  President 
Graham  and  Dr.  T.  J.  Wilson,  Registrar 
at  Chapel  Hill,  and  secretary  of  that 
chapter.  Through  Dr.  Wilson,  the  local 
committee  presented  its  petition  to  the 


Senate  of  the  national  body,  and  he  has 
been  our  spokesman  in  behalf  of  the  new 
order.  The  National  Senate  referred  the 
petition  to  its  Committee  on  Clasitica- 
tion.  During  the  past  year  much  water 
has  run  under  the  wheel,  and  reams  of 
information  about  the  institution  have 
been  compiled.  Here  is  a  sample  of  the 
sixty-four  questions  listed  on  the  ques- 
tionnaire alone : 

(1)  Total  number  of  graduates. 

(2)  Eecord  of  all  graduate  work  done  by 
the  graduates  of  the  college  —  institutions, 
subject,  degree. 

(3)  List  of  outstanding  graduates,  and 
mention  of  their  special  contribution. 

(4)  Thorough   survey   of  libtary  facilities. 

(5)  Academic  training  and  scholastic 
standing  of  members  of  the  faculty. 

(6)  Survey  of  the  instructional  equipment 
of  the  college. 

(7)  Eequirements  for   entrance. 

(8)  Eeport  on  health  conditions  and  the 
living  arrangements  for  students. 

(9)  Statement  of  the  financial  condition 
of  the  college,  its  source  of  support,  and  the 
amount  paid  for  salaries. 

(10)  Copies  of  examinations  given  in  all 
the  courses  during  one  academic  year. 

The  Committee  on  Classification  for 
the  national  organization  made  the  same 
requirements  for  granting  this  section 
as  for  granting  a  separate  chapter.  It 
required  also  that  a  personal  examina- 
tion be  made  of  the  institution  by  a 
representative  of  their  committee,  and 
Dr.  J.  R.  McCain,  President  of  Agnes 
Scott  College,  made  that  survey.  Dr. 
0.  M.  Voorhees,  former  secretary  of  the 
United  Chapters,  also  visited  the  college 
last  spring. 

Miss  Bernice  Draper,  of  the  history 
department,  was  present  at  the  meeting 
in  Cincinnati  as  the  representative  of 
our  petition ;  also  Dr.  Wilson.

Prayer  for  a  New  Mother 

Dorothy  Edwards  Summerrow  '30 


Oh,  sweetly  let  her  stir  and  sleep  this  night, 
And  guard  her  gently,  Father,  she  is  frail. 
She  only  turned  aside  to  heed  a  wail 
When  her  stark  soul  was  groping  for  the  light. 
The  thousand  tender  things  we  mothers  sight 
She  does  not  know.  A  baby's  smile,  a  trail 
Of  scattered  toys — a  fi^iger  printed  rail. 
Her  chance  at  happiness  has  been  so  slight! 

Too  often  our  fond  hearts  are  left  forlorn 
By  grief  of  parting,  heritage  of  men. 
But  here  we  come  with  hope  re-born. 
Thy  will  is  done  beyond  our  mortal  ken. 
Dear  Lord,  we  pray  that  with  the  dawn 
Send  strength,  sore-needed,  to  her  veins  again! 


More  About  Books 


Activities  in  the  Public  School.  By  Margaret 
Gustin  and  Margaret  L.  Hayes  '19.  The 
University  of  North  Carolina  Press.  1934. 
Pp.  290. 

Eeviewed  by  Euth  Fitzgerald,  professor  of 
Education  in  "Woman's  College  of  The  Uni- 
versity of  North  Carolina. 

Today  we  heartily  echo  the  cry  of  the 
wise  man  of  old,  "Of  the  making  of 
many  books  there  is  no  end."  Certainly 
in  the  field  of  educational  theory  there 
is  a  superabundance  of  books,  many  of 
which  are  mere  repetitions  of  the  ideas 
so  much  better  expressed  by  pioneers  in 
the  field  such  as  Dewey  and  Kilpatrick. 
There  are  fewer,  but  still  a  growingly 
large  number,  purporting  to  be  descrip- 
tions of  applications  of  modern  educa- 
tional theories  to  the  work  of  the  schools. 
But  for  the  most  part,  these  are  accounts 
of  the  work  of  privileged  schools  with 
superior  equipment  and  exceptionally 
well  trained  teachers.  In  these  accounts, 
those  of  us  interested  in  the  improve- 
ment of  rural,  village,  or  small  town 
schools,  having  none  of  these  superior 
advantages,  find  little  of  practical  value. 
It  is  therefore  refreshing  and  stimulat- 
ing, and  to  this  reviewer,  a  source  of 
much  pride  to  find  a  book  published  by 
one  of  ours ' '  as  co-author,  which  is  "not 
only  sound  in  theory  but  practical  in  its 
application  to  the  work  of  rural  or  semi- 


rural  schools,  such  as  those  which  abound 
in  North  Carolina. 

In  ''Activities  in  the  Public  School" 
Margaret  L.  Hayes  '19  and  Margaret 
Gustin  give  in  clear  and  simple  style  an 
account  of  how  the  teachers  of  Carteret 
and  Craven  Counties,  North  Carolina, 
under  their  supervision  and  guidance 
set  up,  carried  out,  and  evaluated  in 
terms  of  children's  four-fold  growth — 


MARGARET     HAYES 


emotional,  social,  mental,  and  physical, 
what  appears  to  this  reviewer  to  have 
been  a  true  "activity  program."  The 
book  abounds  in  illustrations  of  activi- 


22 


THE     e^LUMNAE     ^EWS 


ties  engaged  in  by  children  of  every 
grade  of  the  elementary  school.  Excel- 
lent bibliographies  follow  each  chapter. 
The  book  is  copiously  illustrated  with 
unusually  fine  photographs  of  children 
engaged  in  the  various  activities  de- 
scribed. 

In  "Activities  in  the  Public  School" 
the  teacher  of  experience  will  find  her 
ideas  clarified;  the  supervisor  will  find 
common  sense  suggestions ;  while  the 
novice  in  activity  work  will  find  prac- 
tical answers  to  the  majority  of  her  ques- 
tions, from  how  to  develop  her  own 
proper  attitude  to  the  setting  up  of  in- 
terest centers,  and  the  evaluation  of  her 
work. 

As  a  result  of  a  perusal  of  this  book 
two  ideas  possess  the  mind  of  the  re- 
viewer.   First,  there  is  the  satisfaction 


in  the  realization  of  the  possibility  for 
happiness  and  growth  of  average  and 
even  below  average  boys  and  girls  with 
few  advantages,  when  teachers  really 
apply  modern  educational  theories.  Sec- 
ond, there  is  the  overwhelming  convic- 
tion that  only  under  the  guidance  of 
such  fine,  well  trained  women  as  these 
two  supervisors,  are  such  growth  and 
happiness  likely  to  accrue. 

And  North  Carolina  has  cut  out  su- 
pervision! No  better  justification  of  the 
need  for  supervision  has  come  from  the 
press  than  this  book  by  Margaret  Gustin 
and  Margaret  L.  Hayes.

Class  of  1919,  is  assistant  professor  of  Edu- 
cation, New  York  State  College  for  Teachers,

and  Associations 


ASHEVILLE  ALUMNAE 
ASSOCIATION 

Meeting  one.  We  came  together  on  Octo- 
ber 20  for  luncheon  at  the  Eathskeller  in 
Asheville,  during  a  district  meeting  of  the 
N.  C.  E.  A.  Dr.  Jackson  spoke  to  us.  The 
occasion  was  necessarily  hurried,  but  we 
didn't  want  to  miss  this  opportunity  of  see- 
ing our  new  Dean  and  hearing  his  message. 
Evelyn  Eoberts,  our  new  chairman,  introduced 
Mrs.  J.  S.  Williams,  Avho  presided  and  pre- 
sented two  special  guests — Dr.  Dixie  Lee  Bry- 
ant and  Miss  Mary  Owen  Graham,  both 
former  members  of  the  college   faculty. 

Dr.  Jackson  told  us  the  things  we  most 
wanted  to  hear  about  the  college  and  its  place 
in  the  consolidated  University.  He  also  gave 
us  an  idea  of  what  the  college  would  expect 
of  us  as  alumnae.  The  meeting  was  a  real 
inspiration,  and  we  are  eager  to  help  in  every 
way  we   can. 

Euth  Fanning  is  the  chairman  of  our  Pro- 
gram   Committee,    and    at    a    recent    business 


meeting,   we    decided    to    have    two    meetings 
this   year. 

Last  spring,  Dr.  Foust  and  Mrs.  Foust  Avere 
with  us  for  an  informal  tea  at  the  home  of 
Mrs.  J.  S.  Williams.  Dr.  Foust,  as  usual, 
brought  us  a  fine  message,  urging  us  to  up- 
hold the  highest  standards  in  education.  He 
will  always  have  a  special  place  in  our  hearts 
as  Avas  evidenced  by  the  large  number  who 
came  to  hear  him  speak.  Be  assured  of  our 
unfailing  loyalty.

Meeting  one.  We  gathered  on  an  after- 
noon in  October  at  the  home  of  Alma

sung  and  the  ritual  read  responsively.  The 
roll  was  called  and  the  minutes  of  the  last 
meeting  read  and  approved.  The  resignation 
of  Ellen  (Boney)  Miller  as  chairman  was 
accepted.  New  officers  elected  are:  chair- 
man, Martha  (Stewart)  Powell;  vice  chair- 
man, Euth  (Teachey)  Murray;  secretary- 
treasurer,  Laura  (Carroll)  Wells.  A  commit- 
tee to  prepare  and  send  a  telegram  to  the 
college  for  Founder's  Day  was  appointed, 
with  Margaret  (Blakeney)  Blair  as  chairman. 

The  outstanding  business  transacted  was 
the  decision  to  have  a  county-wide  Woman's 
College  Day  during  the  year,  the  event  to 
center  around  a  program  and  tea,  the  special 
guests  to  be  members  of  the  college  faculty 
and  senior  high  school  girls.  The  purpose  of 
the  meeting  would  be  to  stimulate  the  inter- 
est of  the  senior  girls  in  college,  and  espe- 
cially in  the  Woman 's  College.  The  executive 
committee  was  asked  to  work  out  plans,  and 
the  members  from  Kenansville  expressed  a 
wish  to  have  the  event  take  place  there. 

In  addition  to  the  central  group  of  officers, 
vice  chairmen  were  appointed  as  follows:

lia; Margaret  (Blakeney)  Blair,  Wallace; 
Eachel  (Brown)  Bowden,  Warsaw;  Helen

was  the  collection  of  alumnae  dues,  and  a 
skit  "Will  you  pay  your  dues,  my  pretty 
maid?"  was  given.  Elsie  Winstead  read  a 
poem  on  Founder's  Day. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  meeting,  we  en- 
joyed a  salad  course,  featuring  a  color  ar- 
rangement of  yellow  and  white,  with  a  minia- 
ture corsage  on  each  plate.  With  the  singing

MECKLENBURG  ALUMNAE 
ASSOCIATION 

Meeting  one.  With  Dr.  Jackson  as  our 
principal  speaker,  and  Nina  Smith,  chairman, 
presiding,  Charlotte  alumnae  gathered  at  a 
dinner  meeting  on  the  evening  of  October  27, 
in  Efird's  Dining  Hall.  Fall  flowers  in  the 
college  colors  were  used  for  the  table  decora- 
tions. 

In  welcoming  the  guests.  Miss  Smith  com- 
mented that  many  changes  were  taking  place 
at   the    college,   but    that    one    thing   we    still 


had  in  common  and  unchanged — the  College 
Song,  and  so  we  would  open  the  meeting  with 
its  singing. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  excellent  dinner, 
the  chairman  presented  the  alumnae  secre- 
tary, Clara  B.  Byrd,  who  spoke  briefly.  She 
was  happy  that  we  could  be  together  at  the 
beginning  of  this  new  epoch  in  our  college 
history,  and  bespoke  the  acceptance  by  the 
alumnae,  in  a  spirit  of  confidence,  of  what- 
ever responsibility  should  be  laid  upon  their 
shoulders  during  the  coming  days. 

Dr.  Geneva  Drinkwater,  another  honor 
guest  of  the  association,  was  next  introduced. 
Dr.  Drinkwater  said  that  she  greatly  appre- 
ciated the  cordiality  of  the  welcome  she  had 
received  in  North  Carolina.  She  was  happy 
that  at  last  after  her  years  of  study  of 
American  History  she  was  actually  in  Meck- 
lenburg County.  She  would  have  the  alumnae 
think  of  the  college  not  merely  as  their 
"home,"  but  as  a  continuing  source  of  in- 
tellectual inspiration  and  guidance  in  all  their 
problems. 

Willie  May  (Stratford)  Shore,  expressing 
the  satisfaction  that  the  alumnae  feel  in  hav- 
ing Dr,  Jackson  as  the  new  head  of  the  col- 
lege, and  in  finely  reminiscent  words,  pre- 
sented the  Dean  to  the  group. 

Dr.  Jackson  said  that  although  some  con- 
fusion had  existed  as  to  the  place  of  the 
college  in  the  educational  sun,  the  situation 
was  now  wholly  clear.  It  is  to  continue  to  be 
a  college  for  women  —  one  second  to  none,  in 
which  its  daughters  can  feel  an  unlimited 
pride.  Dr.  Jackson  also  gave  interesting  in- 
formation showing  the  distribution  of  the 
present  student  body,  by  states  and  counties. 
He  bespoke  from  the  alumnae  their  support 
— financial,  yes;  but  also  their  moral  and  in- 
tellectual support.  He  discussed  at  length  the 
building  of  a  curriculum  which  would  meet 
the  needs  of  the  future  in  this  changing 
world.  He  would  have  the  course  of  study 
"put  an  edge"  on  the  thinking  and  the  men- 
tality of  our  young  women.  He  believed  that 
the  social  sciences  would  assuredly  occupy  an 
outstandingly  important  place  in  the  course 
of  study  of  the  future. 

A  resolution  of  appreciation  in  memory  of 
Mrs.  Eose  Kennedy  Currie,  who  had  recently 
died,  was  presented  by  Gladys  Avery  Tillett 
and  passed  by  the  association. 

An  enjoyable  feature  of  the  evening  was 
the  playing  of  two  'cello  numbers  by  a  grand- 
daughter of  the  college  —  the  daughter  of 
Euth  (Eobinson)  Kilgo,  the  association's 
secretary.

was  the  reading  by  Helen  Louise  Brown.  Mrs. 
Everett  made  an  excellent  report  of  the 
year's  work- — a  program  in  which  the  col- 
lege itself  has  expressed  genuine  pride. 

Mr.  Barbee  made  a  masterful  address,  using 
as  his  subject,  "An  Outlook  on  Education." 
He  reviewed  our  past  achievements  with 
pride,  and  looked  with  hope  toward  the  fu-

ROWAN  ALUMNAE 
ASSOCIATION 

The  hut  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  was 
the  scene  of  our  first  alumnae  meeting  in  the 
fall  of  1934;  time,  Thursday  evening,  October 
25.  Emma  Lewis  Speight  Morris  presided. 
Dr.  Jackson  spoke.  Clara  Byrd  showed  a  col- 
lege movie.  Katharine  Taylor  '28,  a  Salisbury 
representative  on  the  faculty,  was  also  pres- 
ent from  the  college.  Beneath  hands  that 
were  truly  artistic  the  hut  had  been  made 
colorful  with  fall  flowers.  One  beautiful  bas- 
ket had  been  especially  arranged  (and  loaned 
for  this  occasion)  for  the  celebration  next 
day  of  Josephine  (Speight)  Murdoch's  twenty- 
fifth  wedding  anniversary.  Mrs.  Murdoch  was 
present  for  the  meeting.  Mrs.  Morris  wel- 
comed cordially  the  large  group  of  alumnae 
who  were  present,  and  then  in  gracious  words 
welcomed  Dr.  Jackson,  whom  she  dubbed 
"our  happy  Dean."  She  brought  with  her  to 
the  meeting  a  file  of  the  Alumnae  News  and 
commented  on  the  way  the  News  "keeps  up 
with  the  changing  styles."  And  then  she  pre- 
sented the  speaker  of  the  evening. 

Dr.  Jackson  assured  the  alumnae  that  at 
Chapel  Hill,  at  State  College,  and  among  peo- 
ple in  general  he  found  the  greatest  possible 
interest  and  unanimity  of  purpose  in  continu- 
ing the  promotion  and  development  of  the 
Woman's  College  of  the  University  of  North 
Carolina  as  a  distinctive  college  for  women 
— a  college,  the  richness  of  whose  life  and 
intellectual  opportunity  would  be  on  a  parallel 
with  the  greatest  educational  institutions  in 
the  whole  country.  Something  of  his  own  en- 
thusiasm for  this  ideal  swept  over  the  alum- 
nae themselves,  as  they  heard  him  talk.  The 
Dean  discussed  somewhat  in  detail  changes 
which  have  been  made  this  year  relating  to 
the  inner  life  of  the  campus.  He  called  upon 
the  alumnae  for  their  support  in  interesting 
the  best  type  of  student  in  applying  for  ad- 
mission, and  touched  upon  the  building  of  a 
curriculum  which  would  fit  our  young  women 
to  live  in  the  world  today. 

At  the  conclusion  of  his  speech,  Mrs.  Mor- 
ris said  she  was  very  proud  of  the  fact  that 
the  principal  of  ever}^  school  in  Salisbury 
was  a  Woman 's  College  graduate.  However, 
she  Avas  going  to  show  a  little  partiality  to 
one  of  these  principals  by  presenting  her  espe- 
cially to  the  group — a  classmate.  Sue  Nash. 
Mrs.  Morris  also  read  a  poem  by  Miss  Nash. 
Miss  Nash,  remembered  by  numerous  alumnae 
as  a  former  supervisor  in  Curry  Training 
School,  gave  a  clever  "toast  to  the  new 
administration. ' '

socles  and  happenings,  brought  the  campus  to 
the  hut  for  a  few  enjoyable  minutes. 

Then  Lloyd  Merrimon  led  us  at  the  piano

RUTHERFORD  COUNTY 
ASSOCIATION 

Meeting  one.  Since  we  could  not  ourselves 
go  to  the  college  this  year,  we  decided  to 
bring  the  college  to  us.  Moreover,  we  wanted 
the  citizens  of  Rutherford  County  to  have  a 
personal  contact  with  our  alma  mater.  With 
this  purpose  in  view,  we  secured  Professor 
A.  C.  Hall,  of  the  Department  of  English,  to 
speak  at  a  dinner  meeting,  held  on  the  eve- 
ning of  October  4  in  the  cafeteria  of  Central 


High  School,  Eutherfordton.  Guests  in  addi- 
tion to  alumnae  were  representatives  of  the 
Junior  Woman's  Club,  The  Kiwanis  Club,  and 
the  Office  Girls  Club.  Aylene  Edwards,  chair- 
man, presided,  and  presented  the  speaker  as 
writer,  scholar,  and  friend. 

In  his  excellent  address,  Mr.  Hall  sketched 
the  broader  aspects  of  education  and  urged 
the  wise  use  by  college  trained  men  and  wo- 
men of  their  abilities.  He  discussed  also  the 
place  of  the  Woman's  College  as  one  of  the 
three  units  of  the  Greater  University.  In 
closing,  he  read  two  poems  written  by  North 
Carolinians,  and  suggested  that  work  of  a 
similar  nature  might  come  from  alumnae 
groups  such  as  this. 

Each  alumna  was  introduced  to  the  whole 
group,  special  notice  being  taken  of  the  fact 
that  our  county  has  the  honor  of  having  had 
one  student  at  the  college  the  day  it  opened 
—Mrs.   Eulalie   Elliott   Eeid,   of   Forest   City. 

During  the  business  session  plans  for  our 
annual  Woman's  College  High  School  Day 
were  considered  and  the  date  set  for  some 
time  in  March.  New  officers  were  also  elected 
to  serve  the  coming  year:  Chairman,  Aylene 
Edwards;  vice-chairman,  Agnes  Williams; 
secretary-treasurer,  Gertrude  Jones  Leary. 
Aylene  Edwards,  Chairman.

Sudie  (Israel)  Wolfe  says  she  is  living  a 
very  quiet  life.  The  state  of  her  husband's 
health  prevents  them  both  from  traveling, 
and  so  Mrs.  Wolfe  gives  a  good  deal  of  her 
time  to  the  work  connected  with  the  free 
library  at  Beverly,  New  Jersey,  where  they 
live;  otherwise,  her  life  is  centered  around 
the  home.

the  city  whom  they  considered  most  interest- 
ing. Lillian  Massey  proved  to  be  one  of  the 
ten. 

Pearl  Wyche  went  to  Blue  Eidge  during
