represented by delegates from East
Carolina Teacher's college, Davidson,
and Duke. Twenty-five southern col-leges
were represented at this fourth
meeting of the conference.
David Lockmiller, of Emory, presi-dent

Miss Amy Heminway Jones, national

Thursday night an inter-collegiate do-bate

was: Resolved, That the United States
Should Cancel Her European War
Debts. The affirmative was upheld by
Emory, while Furman staunchly ad-vanced
the arguments of the negative.
No decision was rendered. The debate
was unusual in that each side proved
its point by using identical arguments.

theology chapel at Emory university,
the entire conference convened to hear
Dr. Emmett Kilpatriek of the Universi-ty
of South Carolina present the open-ing

GREENSBORO, N. C, MARCH «, 1927 NUMBER
of Experimental College
By Mary Sharpe, '<•
The University of Wisconsin is a
pioneer in educational experiments.
Under the leadership of Dr. Alexander
Meiklejohn an experimental college
will be opened in September, 1927. la
response to an inquiry sent to Dr.
Meiklejohn, Brittingham Professor of
Philosophy at the University of Wis-consin,
a preliminary announcement of
the establishment of the Experimental
College has been received. All fresh-men
and all those who have been of
this ilk know something of Dr. Meikle-john's
ideas of education.
The announcement gives information
concerning "the purpose of the Experi-mental
College, the procedure followed
in establishing/'it, and the relation it
sustains to the normal administrative
and instructional machinery of the uni-versity."
The faculty of the college
of Letters and Science has "roped off"
within its own boundaries a space large
enough to aceomodate two hundred and
fifty students and an adequate staff of
instructors. Dr. Meiklejohn is chair-man
of this Experimental College unit
which shall attempt "to formulate and
to test under experimental conditions,
suggestions for the improvement of
methods of teaching, the content of
study, and the determining conditions
of undergraduate liberal education."
It is interesting to. note that this ex-perimentation
is not designed for the
instruction of exceptional students, nor
for the less gifted student, but for
a study of the problems of general
Instruction. Dr. Glenn Frank, Presi-dent
of the University of Wisconsin

Mrs. Caro Cox Lucas, ardent music
enthusiast of this city, spoke to the
student body at chapel Monday, Feb-ruary
the 28th, telling the audience
many Interesting facts, about Mrs. Ed-ward
MacDowell, wife of America*
greatest composer. The exercises were
in charge of Miss Grace Moore of the
Music Department of this college.
Mrs. Lucas described Mrs. MacDow-ell
as a charming woman of much re-finement
and generosity of nature She
stated that Mrs. MacDowell, a native
of South Carolina, studied piano under
her future husband for three years in
Parks. This mutual Interest in musk-led
to a romance, and some rime later,
the couple were married. It was about
this time that an accident in Which
Mrs. MacDowell was injured necessi-tated
her walking with a crutch, and
an interesting fact Is that a second ac-cident
In some miraculous way recent-ly
removed that necessity.
Mrs. MacDowell, realising Edward
MacDowell's great creative genius, sac-rificed
her talent as a pianist In order
that he might study and give the world
the best that was In him., She devoted
her life to him and is now, after his
death, still working to carry put his
wishes All of her energies have been
centered In the effort to raise the nec-essary
money for the establishment and
maintenance of a musical colony which
was the dream of her husband while
he lived. It is hope, Mrs. Lucas stated,
that this year will see the work fin-ished
rn order that Mrs. MacDowell will
will be able to retire for a much need-ed
rest Mrs. MacDowell has been
asked to tour England, Irelandr and
Scotland this year and she may do so
soon. Sbe has already given recitals
in 80 cities this year.
Mrs. Lucas gave the members of the
student body an earnest and cordial
invitation to attend Mrs. MacDowell's
concert in Greensboro which was pre-sented
on Monday evening at the Odell
Memorial hall.
ATTENTION IS CALLED TO
USE OF TENNIS COURTS
m
It is neoessary to urge the stu-dents,
and especially the tennis
fiends, to be more careful about the
use of the tennis courts. Mr. Sink
has put Mr. Baxter in charge of the
tennis courts, and he is being held
responsible for their .condition. He
asks that the girls keep off the
courts when the nets are not ap and
the courts not marked, for he
watches the surface after a rain,
and will put up the nets as soon as
he considers the courts sufficiently
dry.
The students can rest ssssiui
that when the nets are not sp it
is not through negligence bat be-cause
the person in charge does not
consider the courts dry enoagh te
use.
It might also be added here that
the students who go 'on the court
without gymnasiam or tennis shoes
damage the eourt, and will likely be
. called upon to pay the eost ef pat-ting
it into condition again.

PjJPILS PORTRAY STYLES
The ninth grade Latin class presented
a very-interesting program at the Fri-day
assembly of the training school.
A Latin style show was ably conducted
by the students in which both Roman
customs and fashions were emphasised.
Characters, grouped according - to the
position in life whieh they represented,
portrayed the various aspects of Roman
life—the home, school, religious, mili-tary,
and social activities.
The setting for the presentation was
simple, but the costumes worn by the
students were unusually striking. The
toga, or the national garb worn by the
Roman citizens featured among the cos-tumes,
while tunics, sandals, helmets,
etc., further emphasized the fashions of
ancient Borne.
An especially striking picture was that
of the charioteer dressed in green, with
a knife at Ms side, carrying a palm
branch. Another effective scene was the
one of the captive chained to the soldier
who bad captured him, and who wore a
metal helmet and a striking costume
with bonds of metal across his back.
A Roman bride, wearing her ring on
her third finger in accordance with Bo-man
belief, a fop in long sleeved tunic,
a consul, a vestal virgin, and a gladiatoi
were among the characters presented.
The climax was reached in the appear-ance
of the general in armor, with his
military cloak over it, and wearing a
plumed helmet.
During the performs ace appropriate
music was rendered by Mies Lucille
Walker. The style show was uniqnajind
has aroused much favorable comment.
An evening performance is being con-templated
for some near date, and the
college girls are cordially invited.
Students participating in the affair
were: Katherine Moser, Virginia Thoma-son,
Mable Evans, Mildred Martin, Au-drey
Everhart, Catherine MeCracken,
Lextle Hall, Myrtle Stedman, Thelma
Briggs, Florence Womble, Elma Moore

The swimming pool was the scene of
interesting rivalry in swimming and
diving Saturday afternoon. The juniors
out-did the freshmen with a score of 42
to 10; the seniors out-distanced the
sophomores 33 to 27.
In the senior-sophomore contest, Mar-jorie

Doub and Scarborough are a hard-working
and efficient pair; Doub exhib-ited
practically the only juggling seen
on the eourt this season. The soph

The basketeers of the class of '28 put
the climax on their round of victories
by walloping the freshmen, 58 to 18,.
Saturday evening, and thereby cinch-ing
the championship honors. The
largest crowd of the season witnessed
the best game of the season, and a game
which the word "fight" would scarcely/
describe.
The freshmen were.In their element
in the last game and staged such a
persistent and active battle that the
juniors were Jolted out of their usual
calmness and smoothness and a goodly
number of personals resulted. During
the £rst quarter, the score mounted
up rather rapidly for the juniors, but
during the remainder of the game, the
freshmen held a tight rein, forcing '28
to work for her score. Especially pret-ty
and Interesting was the play at cen-ter
on both sides.
Again, Brown and Johnson called
forth particular notice, Johnson gain-ing
the greatest number of goals.
Brown also played a good game, show-ing
excellent Judgment and brain-work.
Tme freshmen were lucky In
forwards, Todd and Pate, who were ex-ceedingly
accurate in aim, but whose
aim was handicapped by those hang-ers-
on," Kearns and Buie. A word of
praise and commendation was merited
by Parker, freshman guard, who served
as Brown's keeper; the onlookers saw
Brown almost rattled for the first time
