an enthusiastic meeting last
Thursday the members of the A. A.
discussed plans for Field Day, which
is to be April 22. Miss Davenport's
suggestion, that the morning be used
for the final game in basketball tour-nament
and that the afternoon be
featured by a May Day fete, was ac-cepted.
The fact that it is impos-sible
to obtain a date for May Day
exercises made these plans much
more attractive to the students. It
was decided to elect a May Queen,
preferably a member of the A. A.
from the student body.
The Point System Committee sub-mitted
their report. After a very in-teresting
discussion, however, it was
thought better to wait until the next
meeting to take any definite action
about it. The point system, when
finished, will be a means by which
girls may be awarded for their A. A.
work. It will be made out so that

Since volleyball will not be played for
a while, the A. A. decided to wait
until later to elect someone to take
her place.
"Annual Money" was also a topic
of discussion. The lack of time, how-ever,
prevented the members from
obtaining any definite plan for get-ting
it. They decided to wait until a
call meeting, at which, definite plans
will be made.
GREENSBORO ROTARY CLUB

to the place.
When the guests had arrived and
had been introduced to the illustrous
honor guest, ■ every one gathered
about the fire. Dr. Erskine proved as
charming a conversationalist as he
had a speaker. He told many inter-esting
stories about his work at Co-lumbia
and his experiences in France.
Particularly interesting were his tales
of the Japanese, whom he said came
to Columbia in great numbers. Dr.
Erskine expressed his appreciation
for the manner in which he had been
received at the College and seemed
to enjoy talking to Southern girls,
Tea with wafers and mints was
served by May Belle Penn, Anne Can-trell
and Joyce Rudisill.
Those who had the honor of meet-ing
and talking to Dr. Erskine were
Miss Lola McCullough, the new Eng-lish
faculty; Mary Blair, Anne Ful-ton,
Mary Stearns, Florine Daven-port,
Emmeline Goforth, Virginia

"We need not be ashamed of our
literature and our poetry in the
United States" declared Dr John
Erskine of Columbia University, in
discussing "Some Tendencies in
American Poetry," at the College,
Saturday night, at which time he gave
the last of a series of three lectures
on the general theme of Poetry and
Work. Poe and Whitman are recog-nized
by Europeans as among the
leading nineteenth century poets.
Emerson and Longfellow also have
many admirers abroad.
Speaking of the handicaps under
which American literature has strug-gled
Dr. Erskine referred to the
"melting pot" idea of America, say-ing,
"we have expected American
literature to be a rich concoction of
all other literatures, but this has
seemed rather thin. A great literar
ture cannot develop in this way.
There must be a common fund of
history, traditions and experience be-fore
a great literature can arise. "Be-fore
you can have a great poetry,
there must be a stock of common in-formation
for artist and public alike."
The modern school, including Amy
Lowell and the imagists, Masters,
Lindsay, Frost, Robinson and con-servative,
like Woodberry and Scn-tayana,
was touched upon. . "
At noon on Saturday Dr. Erskine
lectured on John Keats, the centenary
of whose death is being observed in

The Cornelians elected Annie

AN EMPTY CAMPUS WANTED.
D. a.
LET 800 WORSHIP
i
An absolutely empty, vacant, un-tenanted,
unoccupied campus is ar-dently
desired at North Carolina Col-lege
'between ten and one^o'clock San-day
morning. And where are its
usual 800 lively and prominent in-habitants
expected to be? At no oth-er
place than the churches of Greens-boro.
The Ministerial Association of the
city has set aside Sunday, January
23, as "Go-To-Church" Sunday. It
would be a fine thing if N. C. C. W.
would boast of one hundred per cent,
at church on this day. All the
churches of Greensboro extend a cor-dial
invitation to the students to
make "Go-To-Church" Sunday a, suc-cess.
