Budding Writers, Don't Stop Plugging,-
Other Buds Have Blossomed in Time
By ELLEN METZ
Sometimes ii appear- tbat ihere is no
end to the stream of eonjeetiires and
eomplaints that lsiil up from a soelery
composetl of 2.300 girls. Theories bud.
blossom, and wbitber annually. An im
pr.s-ive number of the more perennial
theories center around creative effort
on campus. What have Woman's Col-lege
graduates done in a creative line?
What can today's Woman's College
girls exjieet to accomplish In creative
work and how much will the college
help them?
Theories ventured In dormitories at
midnight are always lofty, usually Im-passioned,
and rarely pertinent. They
iouch briefly on "what has been done"
and surmise u|sin "what we can ex-pect,"
but they stray from the con-crete.

Mrs. Laura Weil Cone
Address Students
Siiiilenis, faculty, mid alumnae of
Woman's College paid tribute to tbe
late Dm Harriet Wiseman Elliott la
a memorial service Tuesday, Novem-ber
11, In AyeiHk audit,.num. Dean
Elliott died August 0 after 12 years
as dean of the college and after 34
years of service here, beginning as a
member of the history faculty.
Three speakers paid tribute to tbe
woman who for many years was a
"force not only in the state's education-al
and political life but wbo served the
nation during the war in positions of
distinction and responsibility." She
was a member of President Rooaevett'a
Advlsery commission of the National
Defense council, tbereafter consumer
commissioner of the OOce of Price
Administration, and a member of the
advlsery committee on woman's auxil-iary
of Ihe Navy.
Tribute of the College
Chancellor W. C. Jackson, presenting
the tribute of the college, referred to
her contribution to the college through
Ihe yeurs and of hat life's purpose to
..up ..!.■ women to ticcoine "healthy,
happy, and effective citizens." Express-ing
the feeling of the cuinpus, Dr. Jack-sou
suld : "It Is tilting on this day, signifi-cant
lu the history of the struggle for
democracy, that we honor one wbo
dedicated her life to the training of
w eu for reeponalble citizenship in
a democratic t miiy. and to the aer-
\ ice of her country."
Mrs. l^iura Wail Gone of Greensboro,
a In inn.i and un nil.er of the executive
oonunittea of the Board of Trustees of
the I'nlvcrsity of North Carolina,
illinium.\ paid tribute lo Demi III...!
apeaking for the Wonian's College alum-nae
as II friend, teacher and pntrolt. Mrs.
Cone cit.il not only the cmitrihutlous
Mean Elliott made to the college but to
her wider services to the state ami
nation, Inside and outside of Ihe clu-s-
I'IHIIII, Dean Elliott stressed the im|sir
lance of being citizens not only of the
stale and the nation, but of the world.
Kitting Monument
Her life work was to do everything
in her power to give lUdeotl exper-ience
in democratic living. As Mrs.
Cone expressed It. "Miss Elliott needs
no more appropriate monument than
I be product of her own lalsirs—a living
memorial, the ever-widening influence
of those who hnve caught her faith In
'reepoonUdo freedom:', and lielleve in
it enough to live It."
Speaking of the magnitude of Dean
Elliott's contribution to ihe govern-ment
during the war. Mrs. Cone read
a letter of tribute from former Secre-tary
of the Treasury Henry Morgan-thiiu,
Jr. Mr. Morganthuii said that,
needing the full coo[H'ratlon of women,
he called upon n woman of stature to
wnrk with men. an organizer not a
bureaucrat. He found Dean Elliott a
key person U|ion whom he built bis
program. To say that she had done
a good Job was an understatement.
Students' Tribute
Speaking for the students. Betsy
BallOCk, president of the Student Oov-einiiiciit.
said. "It Is with admiration
and gratitude that we offer our tri-bute—
a promise that as students of this
college, to which she gave her genius
and her service, we will follow her
creed of 'res|Kinslble freedom': and that
when we become alumnae, we will find
our places—great or -mall in the na-tion
which she served, and adding our
strength to that of others whom she
hns inspired by her teaching and her
example, we will make our Influence
and service as citizens indeed a part
of her living memorial."
As Dr. Jackson said. "The quality of
citizenship in the students of today la
her greatest living memorial."
