U Scheduled
With the formation of the line of
march on College Avenue at ten-thirty
o'clock, Thursday, October 6,
the North Carolina College for Wo-men
began its thirty-first annual cel-ebration
of Founder's Day. With the
members of the faculty leading and
the classes in their order following,
the line proceeded to the Spring
Garden Methodist Church, where, on
account of the inadequacy of the
College Auditorium for seating the
whole student body with the visitors,
the principal address of the day was
delivered. Dr. John H. Tigert, Unit-ed
States Commissioner of Educa-tion,
delivered the address.
The Alumnae of the College have
had a very active part in the cele-bration
of this, the college's thirty-first
anniversary of its birthday. A
meeting of the Board of Trustees
was held this morning at nine o'clock
and another is to be held this after-noon
at three. At four there will be
a tea and reception at the Alumnae
Tea House, at which the Faculty and
Alumnae will be present This will
mark the formal opening of the Tea
House which is a part of the Alumnae
Building being constructed on Teague
Field. After the tea the party will
tour the grounds. At seven o'clock
the Alumnae Banquet will be held
in the Spencer Dining Room. At this
time messages will be delivered by
three members of the Association
representing the three decades of the
life of the college. Dr. Foust will
also deliver an address on this occa-sion.

COLLEGE ORCHESTRA
BEGINS YEAR'S WORK
Miss Davia Director of This Faculty-
Student Organisation—Many
New Members Wanted
The college orchestra was reor-ganized
Wednesday night, September
28, and is now ready for work. At
that time the following officers were
elected-* President, Irene Waters;
Librarians, Edith Goodwin and Cath-erine
Grantham. The orchestra is
composed of both faculty and stu-dent
members and is to be under the
direction of Miss Davis, of the violin
department. Works of an ordinary
degree of complexity will be used and
any student who plays an orchestral
instrument fairly well will be admit-ted
to the orchestra. The first prac-tice
was held on Tuesday night and
much enthusiasm was shown by the
large number present. More mem-bers
are desired, however, and girls
who wish to join are asked to see
Miss Davis this week.

On Spring Garden Street, opposite
the entrance to College Avenue, a
proposed Alumnae Building is under
construction. Only the part which
will be used as a tea-room has been
completed. The present structure
contains the kitchen, two lavorator-ies,
and the tea-room proper. The
building has a temporary roof.
The alumnae will hold a business
meeting this afternoon here. The
business meeting will be followed by
a reception to the Alumnae and mem-bers
of the Faculty. On October 6th,
the tea room will be opened to the
members of the faculty who are go-ing
to take their meals there regular-ly.
The formal opening will take
place within in a few days following
this. After this the tea room will be
open to the students.
When the building is completed, it
will have much of the appearance of
the Anna Howard Shaw Building. On
the east end, there will be a sleeping
porch for the second and third floors.
There will be twenty-eight bedrooms
on the second and third floors, be-sides
two guests' rooms with private
baths. The first floor will contain
parlors, a reception hall, a lobby, and
a nursery. The nursery is for the
use of the children visiting Alumnae.
The building will have its own heat-ing

CABINET OF Y. W. C. A.
TAKES CAMPING TRIP
Twenty-three Members of Cabinet
Enjoy the Week-end at Camp
Hicone
On last Saturday afternoon the
members of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet
met in front of the gym at two-thirty
to begin a week-end of fun and frolic.
In the group were about twenty-three
members who set out in great glee
for a trip to Camp Hicone. All the
paraphernalia was piled on the truck
that was waiting to take the party
over the twelve miles to the camp and
the girls piled on top of that. With
a final wave to those unfortunates
who were doomed to sleep within four
walls, the party set out.
Arriving at the camp the first task
was to unload and get things in read-iness
for the night. Cots were pitch-ed
on the pavilion, a camp-fire was
started, and then the crowd was free
to amuse itself as it pleased. The
braver ones donned bath suits and
had a swim despite cold water. Oth-ers
sat on the bank but did not go
near the water. Still others hiked
through the woods until the call came
for supper.
After supper the crowd sat around
the fire and sang. Katie Hollister
led in some peppy songs and the less
musical ones turned back to former
days by having a game of rope jump-ing.
The night passed without any

NORTH CAROLINA C0LLE6E OPENED
FIRST YEAR WITH 225 STUDENTS
Three Buildings With Dormitory Space for One
Hundred and Fifty—Fifteen on Faculty—En-rollment
Reached Three Hundred and Fifty in
1902—Several New Building*—Departments
Were Normal, Business, and Domestic Science.
Kighteen hundred and ninety-one,
the birth of North Carolina College,
found three buildings on the campus
with dormitory space for leas than
one hundred and fifty boarders. The
college had an enrollment of 226 stu-dents
and a teaching force of fif-teen.
By 1902 the faculty had increased
to about thirty members. The li-brary,
which was for a time hi rooms
2 and 8, Main, had three thousand
volumes. The Training School had
been built, the old infirmary, which is
now a practice hall; the steam laun-dry,
a large dining room, and well
arranged kitchen all showed the
growth of the college. By additions
to the dormitories and by ranting
several neighboring residences the old
dormitory space was then three hun-dred
and fifty. An old annual of
1902 records the great comfort that
had been given by the substitution of
gas for kerosene lamps, the introduc-tion
of single beds, snd the placing
on every floor of porcelain baths.
Courses were offered in three de-partments:
the normal, the business,
and the domestic science. There
was also a special course in which a
student could get training in vocal
culture, physical culture and indus-trial
art. The course of study re-quired
four years for completion, af-ter
which the student received a life-time
license to teach in North Caro-lina.

At the Vesper service Sunday
night, Miss MacDonald, Eleanor Hill,
and Maitland Sadler gave talks on
their experiences as industrial girls
in Atlanta this past summer.
Miss MacDonald opened the dis-cussion
by explaining what is meant
by the Student Research Commission.
When this movement was first start-ed
some people said that it was im-possible
for college students to work
and mingle with industrial girls. This
statement has been proved fake be-cause
many students have worked
with working girls and done it suc-cessfully.
There were eight girls in the group
in Atlanta, three of whom were N. C.
C. W. girls. These girls were un-known
in the city, but by the end of
the fourth day every one of them had
a job of some sort. The group met
once a week for reports and discus-sion.
*
Miss MacDonald worked in a cot-ton
mill as a spooler, standing from
six o'clock at night to six o'clock in
the morning. About two o'clock the
employees ate sandwiches and finish-ed
their work as best they could.

ADMINISTRATION REORGANIZES
Curriculum Now Comprises Many
Divisions—College Recognised
asA-1
To the many alumnae of the col-lege
back here for Founder's Day, the
North Carolina College for Women
of today stands in marked contrast
to the State Normal and In-dustrial
School of yesterday. To
even the members of '21 and '22 the
campuB is changed—a new wing has
been added to Mclver Building, the
Library has been enlarged, and the
Practice House for Home Economics
Seniors and three new dormitories
have been built almost overnight. To
those whose last visit dates previous
to '20 the sight of the five Nnew
dormitories and an outdoor gymnas-ium
on the west side of the campus
is a most delightful surprise. In its
thirty-one years the North Carolina
College for Women has grown at a
rapid rate from its babyhood days as
a Normal School to its present status
as an A-l college, ranking among
the best in the South.
Until 1920 the college had grown,
but it may be truly said that in that
year it took its greatest step in its
growth towards greater North Caro-

FOREST AVENUE BAPTISTS
GIVE LECTURE-RECEPTION
Suturday evening, the Forest Avenue
Baptist Church entertained the Bap-tist
girls and members of the Faculty
with a lecture-reception. Dr. Collier,
of the Department of Geology at the
University of North Carolina, was the
speaker for the evening. His subject
was "Japan, From Within and From
Without" The lecture, which was
illustrated by many scenes and pho-tographs
taken while he was in Japan
a few years ago, proved quite inter-esting.
He recited many personal
incidents which gave an insight into
the minds and hearts of the Japanese
people.
After the lecture, delightful re-freshments
were served by the ladies
of the church.
