They entered rather timidly, but soon they forgot their timidity, for all that they saw delighted them. The people at the Castle greeted them heartily, and were pleased to show them the rooms in the Castle and the beautiful Castle grounds, and to help them discover the duties which living in the Castle entailed. L ife at the Castle was very pleasant, for everyone was kind and happy. The eleventh of October of that year was the seventy-fifth anniversary of the birth of Lady Chowan, the Castle Mother. In honor of this occasion, her children from far and near came to do her reverence and to see presented in her praise The Diamond Pageant. The night following this celebration the young maidens will long remember Just at the stroke of midnight, when everyone was sound asleep, the rooms in which the fifty-three maidens slept were visited, and every bed was robbed of its occupant. Groans, shrieks, and hollow voices filled the Castle, as icy fingers laid hold upon the victims. Down through the halls and down, down, down the steps were the terrified maidens led until they reached a lonely place far beyond the Castle grounds. Never had they experienced such terror as they felt when, one by one. they were carried before the Brown Lady and made to confess their sins. But just at the break of dawn, every one was restored to her bed and left to rejoice at het escape. The next morning it was rumored that the Brown Lady and other ghosts had visited the Castle the night before, hut no one seemed to know whether it were true. It came to pass that, during this season of the year, a group of officials called Sophomores within the Castle, rose up in power and formulated many laws which they commanded this company of young maidens, whom they entitled Freshmen, to obey. Some of the laws were trying, but the Freshmen were good sports, and when it was decreed that, on a certain day. every Freshman should appear in front of The Columns with paper and pencil at four o ' clock, not one was missing. The group of fifty-three was divided into nine companies, and each company was placed under the command of a Soph. Out from the Castle grounds they marched, and on until they reached a trim little village called Murfreesboro, Then each company went its way to visit every home in sight and to inquire about the cats residing there. Obediently Freshmen marched up to the doors of all the houses and took a careful census of the cats. Astonished and bewildered faces of the villagers appeared at doors and windows as the census takers called for information, and occasionally, when one had announced her mission, an anxious little child would grab his cat and suddenly disappear. Never before had cats been given so much recognition, and when the reports were all collected and read before the people of the Castle, the haughty Sophs could say nothing, for the job had been done perfectly. There was an accurate report of the cats of all colors, ages, species, and denominations. The majority were Baptists, but many were Methodists, several were Catholics, and a few had other religious inclinations. These young maidens with many of their friends of the Castle undertook another task that year: campaigning for books. In order for the library of Castle Beautiful to hold high rank, it was necessary that it acquire several thousand volumes within a limited time. The IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINIIIIIIIIIII campaigners never rested until they had reached their goal. As a result of their labors, on March 24, 1924. the Principal Lady of the Castle read to the maidens this message from the Chief Steward: Yesterday at I2;30 o ' clock wc reached our goal of six thousand volumes for the library. The victory is a notable one. and must be notably set apart; therefore, all classes will be dispensed with today, and everyone will hike to Meherrin River for a picnic. One of the greatest achievements of the year was the publishing of the first Chowanian, the Castle newspaper, which sets forth every two weeks the happy life of work and play which goes on in the buildings and parks of Mother Chowan. It was that year that the Castle gave up one of her dear possessions, The Academy. With sad hearts the maidens of the Castle paid their last respects to the Academy, as she lay in state on the platform in her little black casket, surrounded by beautiful wreaths. But they soon dried their tears, for the loss resulted in large gains as to the rank of the Beautiful Castle among others of the land. When the spring had come, the fifty-three young maidens bade Mother Chowan adieu, and went away reluctantly from the beautiful old Castle, which for some time they would sec only across the broad Valley of Vacation. CHAPTER II, 1924-25 In the ninth month of the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, the Castle doors opened again to receive the company of young maidens returning. However, not all of the fifty-three returned, for some had ventured out on the sea of matrimony, while others had strayed into School Ma ' am ' s Desert, or lost themselves on the pleasant Plains of Society, The Castle walls were soon resounding with laughter, as the maidens, who had risen from the rank of Freshmen to the nobility of Sophomores, began their new tasks. This year they were the official Sophs, and they decreed many laws which the newcomers at the Castle must obey. They issued new orders every day. and for fear of the Brown Lady ' s spirit, which every- one said would return at Hallowe ' en, the latest arrivals at the Castle obeyed orders carefully. The Sophs escorted a band of the most oratorical Freshmen down to the very village to which they themselves had been escorted the year before, and there had them make stump speeches, advocating Andy Gump for the Presidency of the United States. The Sophs soon realized that these newcomers were really worthy to take over the former Freshman motto: Green, but Growing. It came to pass that just a week before the Christmas holidays began. Peanut Week was observed, as was the custom of the Castle. Every sojourner in the halls of Mother Chowan drew from a box a peanut, within the shell of which was the name of someone for whom she was to do some kind act secretly, every day for a week. No one knew who any other ' s pea- nut was. and no one dared to ask or tell. During all hours of the night and day. little gifts and. notes could be seen lying in the halls or in front of bedroom doors, addressed to someone ' s peanut, but without any return address except Your Peanutter. The week was full of sur- prises and thrills and narrow escapes from discovery. At the end of it. the dining room was decorated in holly and candles, and a big Christmas tree was set up. The Peanut came together and gave gifts and revealed themselves to each other. Another red-letter week for all within the Castle was instituted that year: Drama Week. The talents of the Castle maidens for music and dramatics were revealed in various recitals and plays given during this week, and everyone was so pleased with the programs that Drama Week has become an annual affair at the Castle. €l!riy0i5sis ami0ltea. The eventful year slipped by all too quickly for the young maidens, and soon they found themselves leaving the Castle again and turning their faces toward Vacation. CHAPTER III, 1925-26 When these young maidens returned to the Castle of Chowan the next fall, their greatest desire was to have the college standardized before the year had passed. There were many new faces at the Castle this year, and each new one helped in reaching the goal. Before the year was gone, the dream of these maidens had really come true, and Chowan had become a standard A-grade college. Many lasting and important, as well as interesting features were added to Castle life dur- ing that year. One of the most important of these additions was Society Day. with its reading contest and a debate, which aroused real society spirit and was destined to remain a permanent annual affair at Chowan, On the night of this important occasion, one of the best debates ever recorded between the Lucalian and Alathenian Societies was witnessed in the Castle chapel. Two of the debaters. Dorothy Long and Margaret Aman, belonged to the group of young maidens who had entered the Castle gates three years before. Others of this same company excelled in voice and dramatics, and were sent out to various parts of the country to give programs. They had found that life at the Castle Beautiful was so happy that they wished other young maidens to join them there, so each of them wrote let- ters to her friends, who were camping on the hill of High School, and invited them to visit the Castle. Many came, and from this began the annual event known as High School Week-End There was no greater evening of events on the calendar of that year than the Junior-Senior banquet, which took place in the garden of Castle Beautiful amid flowers and sweet music, on April twenty-third. This was a night when every young maiden realized her dreams of being a Princess and having her Prince Charming come to her garden to see her. Many other pleasant events followed, and even before one could realize ho%v the time had slipped by, it was the twenty- fourth of May, and Vacation Valley called. CHAPTER IV. 1926-27 Among the many maidens who reassembled within the Castle walls in the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-six. were eighteen of the fifty-three who had entered the Castle four years earlier. With them they brought four others who. like themselves, knew that in the spring of nineteen hundred and twenty-seven they must go out into the world to make their way for themselves. They were known throughout the Castle as Seniors, and were regarded as the wisest of all the maidens who dwelt in Castle Beautiful. To them, therefore, the younger maidens turned for leadership, and many were their cares and responsibilities. But they found time for bits of recreation. In the very beginning of the year they left the Castle and journeyed to a far-off river side for a picnic supper. They swam and boated along Tuscarora Beach, and then toward nightfall they built a campfire and cooked their supper. When the moon had risen, they returned to the Castle and took up their duties with enthusiasm. On the night before Hallowe ' en, the Brown Lady ' s spirit implored the Senior maidens to aid her in stimulating among the youngest daughters of the Castle a high love for the Col- lege and loyalty to her. The Seniors answered the call and arranged that every new maiden within the Castle walls should appear before the Brown Lady and her court of ghosts at Wise ' s Graveyard in the dead hours of the night. Arriving there, each maiden was required to take a pledge of loyalty, and to sign her name to it with a pen dipped in blood. Page Forty-eight iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin €l!ttiM3i3 ami0ik(a . In the first month of this ycjr began the great crusade to endow the Castle Beautiful, and so insure her future welfare. The guardians of the Castle and the maidens residing in her walls, and many daughters of the beautiful and ancient Lady Chowan, who had gone out to make the world beautiful like their Mother, joined in the crusade with many of their friends, and gave gifts and wrought a glorious victory. On the twenty-fourth of February, Society Day at the Castle Beautiful was celebrated, as it had been the year before. In the debate one of the Senior maidens. Agnes Cobb by name, helped to win the victory. After that, a brilliant reception was given in the Castle halls. Never had these halls appeared so beautiful as on this night, for they shone with flowers and gay dresses, and were filled with music and laughter. The memory of the event will live long in the hearts of the Castle maidens and of their guests. When the warm spring days came and the Castle parks were bright with flowers and the songs of many birds, the twenty-two Senior maidens realized reluctantly that they must soon depart from Castle Beautiful and go out to live according to the precepts of Mother Chowan. Their sisters in the Castle, the Juniors, gave a banquet for them, and the Chief Steward of the Castle and his wife held a brilliant assembly in their honor. But the days passed swiftly, and ere they knew it. Commencement was over, and the maidens of 1927 were looking back from the edge of the Valley of Vacation and singing softly: We do looe thee: loe do love thee! Mother dear! Mother dear! Agnes Cobb.

We realize that the facts recorded here are incomplete: some of them may be inaccurate, for they were pieced together from imperfect records and from the memories of those who have known the College through the years: but we trust that this account may be corrected from time to time as errors are discovered, and that it may serve as a nucleus for a fuller and more intimate record in the near future.

Moore, near Saint Johns, to discuss the problem of educating their daughters. Dr. Moore pro- posed that the Baptists of Eastern North Carolina found a college for girls. The other members of tl:ie group: A. J. Askew. W. W. Mitchell, Washington Mitchell, Dr. S. J. Wheeler, and A. J. Perry, agreed, and in May, 1847, they laid their plan before the Bertie Union Meeting, 7 he Bertie Union acting upon the suggestion be- gan to raise money for the establishment of the school, and appointed a committee to draw up and present a resolution to the Chowan Association, The resolution to establish a school of higher learning for girls was presented and adopted at Raymoth Gilead Church, Pasquotank County, in May, 1848. The following Trustees were appointed to secure a suitable location for a school, and to obtain a charter: From the Bertie Union, Godwin C. Moore, A, J, Perry, and J, W, Barnes: from the Yeopim Union, J, L. Tierrell. W. Stall- ings. and W. Riddick: from Camden and Currituck Union. J. Comer, W, P, Forbes, and J. B. Morgan: from the Washington and Tyrell Union, J. T. Halsey, E. R. Melson. and J. W. Beasley. On October 11. 1848. Chowan Collegiate Institute opened with eleven students — a number which soon increased to forty- seven. The old Murfreesboro Academy lot had been purchased for $1,225. and the Banks School building with its equipment had been taken over by the new institution. It soon became evident, however, that larger quarters must be secured, so a few friends of the Institute and a few trustees formed a joint-stock company and contributed $4,375 to stabalize the en- terprise. In 1851 the present site of the college was purchased from Mr. Perry Carter, and the building which we now know as The Page One Hundred Six €%0 W mt silfe (C J. miEi. Columns was completed and occupied November 3, 1852. friends of the school having contributed $30,002.09 for the building. In July. 18 59, the stockholders with the exception of three, gave their stock. One of these three was not a Baptist, one was a Northerner, and the third had only $75 in stock. This donation was prompted by the desire to have Chowan Institute owned and controlled by the denomination rather than by individuals. At the close of the Civil War, the College which had continued to run throughout the war. had 81 students, but was overburdened with debt. In 1868. a joint-stock company was formed by W. W. Mitchell. Dr. A. J. Askew. W. Dunnmg. W. Riddick, L. T. Spiers, Rev. John Mitchell, M. R. Gregory. Edwin Ferebee. and W. T. Tayloe. who assumed responsibility for all the debts of the Insti- tute and paid those that were most pressing. On June 25. 1878, the stockholders, with the exception of four, donated their shares to the denomination. The gift amounted to more than $15,000, and left the College with only a $4,000 debt as against a $16,000 value. The stock of Dr. A. J. Askew, who had died, was donated by his daughter. Annie S. Askew. Thus a second time did Chowan College come into the hands of the denomination by the gift of men of vision, who believed in Christian education, and since 1878 she has belonged to the Bap- tists of North Carolina. Obstacles did not daunt. Difficulties did not dismay: In Cod ' s eternal purpose Chowan still stands As the gateway to service To all who will enter m. Eunice McDowell. ' 76. Page One Hundred Seven liuilbingg The Banks Building near Dr. Gary ' s home was the home of the College from the fall of 1848 till November 3. 1852, The new site was purchased in 1851. and The Columns was erected and splendidly equipped in 1852. Since that time it has been the main college building. In 192 3 the wing of The Columns, known as the New Dormitory, was completed. East Building was erected in 1906 during the Scarborough administration. From 1852 till 1878, the building which we know as The Science Build- ing was called the Steward ' s Home because it was occupied by a steward who managed the boarding department. After the college took over the boarding department, the Steward ' s Home was used successively as a dormitory, art studio, infirmary, and gymnasium. In 1874 it was remodeled and enlarged. The present writer is not able to ascertain whether this building was a part of the college property when the present site was purchased, or whether it was built later. L.ove Cottage, now the Voice Studio, was moved to its present position from near the Banks Building, at a cost of $75.00. On the old site it was used by the department of music. It is, probably, the oldest building on the campus, Hope Cottage was erected in 1878 by Rev. John Mitchell, bachelor pas- tor of the Murfreesboro Baptist Church. The college students first c alled the cottage Hope because they believed one of the spinsters of the institution hoped to live in it! Through a generous gift of Mr. Rawley Myers, of Char- lotte, it was in 1925. converted into a club house for the students. Faith Cottage, now used as a store room, was built for the primary de- partment during the Scarborough administration. Stone Cottage was erected during Dr. Bruner ' s administration in 1913. The President ' s Home, formerly known as the Scarborough House, was private property until the spring of 1924. when it was purchased for the college. Early in 1880 the college bell, which had swung for years from two huge stones, was raised to its present important position in The Bell Tower. It is safe to say that around the old bell cluster as many memories as around any other object at the memory-laden college. I eligiousi (Organisations! In 1855 Dr. McDow ell, who was greatly interested in foreign missions and especially in China, organized a foreign missionary society. At the meet- ings of the organization — the first Sunday night in each month — missionary topics were discussed and offerings for missions were taken. During the re- construction days, between 18 70 and 1880. the nickels and pennies of the girls amounted to over $1,200 for foreign missions and to several hundred dollars for domestic missions. From 1855 till the present time, a mission meeting Page One Hundred Eight has been held in the college on one Sunday evening in each month, usually on the first Sunday. In 1911 the Y. W. A. was organized in accordance with the program outlined by the Woman ' s Missionary Union of the State and of the South. In 1916 it was called the Ann Hasseltine Circle, but it is now known as The Y. W. A. of Chowan College. In 1920 the Student Volunteer Band was organized, and in 1921 this band separated into the Foreign and the Home Life Service Bands. The Mattie Macon Norman B. Y. P. U. was organized in 1921: the Nell Lawrence in 1922-23. though it was not called by that name till 1924; in 1924-25 the Eunice McDowell Union was added, and in 1926-27 the W. B. Edwards Union was organized. Eiterarp Societies; The first literary societies were the C. O. V. A., organized in 1875, and the P. N. A., in 1877. For many years the two flourished side by side, and then the rivalry between them became so intense that it was deemed best to reorganize them. Accordingly, in 1912, by even and odd count, the students were divided into the Alathenian and Lucalian Societies. Elaborate funeral services were conducted over the dead organizations. Mrs. A. W. Miller, of Union, N. C, still holds the P. N. A. banner, and the tombstone of the C. O. V. A. is preserved as a sacred relic in the college. In February, 1926. Society Day was instituted, with intersociety contests in debating and reading. The Lucalian Society won both victories in 1926 and again in 1927. During 1926-27 the societies purchased a loving cup which is to be presented to the society winning the debate three years in succession. tubent ( obernment sisiociation In 1915 the Student Government Association was organized, and since that time it has developed an elaborate system of self-government. Freshmen are required in a few weeks after their registration to take a rigid examination On the Student Government Handbook, and all students are on their honor to obey the rules laid down in the handbook and to report to the Council any known transgression of a law made either by the students or the faculty. Misses Grace Beasley, Nell Ward, Inez Benthall, Ethel Freeman. Pearl Hopkins. Minnie Dunning. Gladiola Parker. Hilda Matthews, and Beryl Souter have served as presidents of the organization. Page One Hundred Nine College publication! Chowan ' s first annual, Alaska Nuggets, was published in 1911. It was edited by Eunice Ledbetter Evans and was dedicated to President Bruner. The 1913 annual was called THE Chowanoka. It was edited by Rennie Spivey and was dedicated to the mothers and fathers of the Senior Class. In 1914 The Chowanoka was edited by Lucy Hines Elliott and dedicated to President Lineberry; in 1916, by Pauline Jewell Eley, dedicated to Miss Mac Lette: in 1917, by Inez Benthall. dedicated to President Scarborough: in 1921, by Susie M. Brett, dedicated to President Vann: in 1923. by Elizabeth Turn- ley, dedicated to Miss Eunice McDowell: in 192 5, by Ruth Wilkins, dedicated to President Weaver: and in 1926. by Flora Mae Hood and dedicated to Dean Edwards. In 1915, ' 16, and ' 17 The Coliminc. an excellent literary magazine, was published quarterly. It was discontinued for lack of funds, but will some day, we trust, be published again. The Chowanian. which speaks for itself as one of the livest college news- papers in the South, was first published September 27, 1923. Miss Camilla Manson was the first editor. The paper has, since 1923, been published semi- monthly. Miss Margaret Aman, ' 27, has been its editor since 1924. tEf)e Hibrarp Chowan ' s excellent working library of more than 7.600 volumes is largely the gift of the alumnae. It contains many rare and valuable books, which came from the private libraries of those who love the college. The efforts of Miss Esther Wynn and Miss Eunice McDowell are especially worthy of note in the history of the library: the former first stimulated interest in the library, the latter has contributed many valuable books from her own collection. On October 1 1. 1922. active efforts to endow the library were inaugurated. Since that time the alumna? have contributed more than $7,130 to purchase books and to endow certain departments. The following memorials in bronze tablets have been erected in the library: Department of English: Endowed by Mr. H. D. Shepherd as a memorial to his mother. Elizabeth Neal Shepherd, graduate of Chowan College, 1857. One thousand dollars. Department of Useful Arts: Endowed by Mrs. R. P. Thomas and Miss Mary Thomas as a memorial to Dr. R. P. Ihomas, husband and father, a former president of Board of Trustees. One thousand dollars. Department of Education: Endowed by Mrs. C. E. Grandy as a memo- rial to her father, Mr. Mark Gregory, one of the first trustees of Chowan Col- lege. Five hundred dollars. Other memorials will be erected in the near future.

To the original sum, the children of W. B. Shaw, of Winton. North Carolina, have added $200 as a memorial to their father, and the alumnae have increased the fund to $1,098. Already it has aided twenty- two girls. In 1921-22 Hon. J. W. Bailey established the Annie S. Bailey Scholar- ship in memory of his mother, a former student of the college. In 1924-25 the alumna? gave two temporary scholarships known as the Alumna ' and the Eunice McDowell Scholarships. In 1926 the Kiwanis Club of Bertie, Northampton, Hertford and Gates Counties established four scholarships. The Thomas B. Wynn Endowed Scholarship of $2,000 was given in 1927 by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Wynn of Murfreesboro. In 1926-27 the Missionary Societies of Northampton County gave one scholarship: of Hertford, one; and of Bertie, two. In 1926-27 the United Daughters of the Confederacy of Hertford County established a scholarship. The D. E. Williams Endowed Scholarship of $2,000 was given in 1927 by Mrs. Williams and Mrs. D. P. Medlin, wife and daughter. Mr. Williams was for many years a trustee of the school and a loyal friend. In 1917-18 Mr. A. B. Atkins of Cofield, North Carolina, former trustee of the college, left a fund of $2,500 to be used for the education of worthy girls who would otherwise be unable to attend college. The fund is known as the Atkins Trust Fund. Jfeto of Cfjotoan ' g f etoelsi Elizabeth Marable (Mrs. I. B. Lake), mother of James L. Lake, professor of physics at Wake Forest College.

Cije Campus; • ' BEAUTY IS TRUTH One of the beautiful links which have ever bound the students of Chowan to their Alma Mater is her artistic old campus. When the site was purchased in 1851, the grounds were only a waste of brown sedge. But realizing that beauty of whatever kind is cultural, in 1856 Dr. McDowell, then co-principal of the institution, employed a landscape gardener who laid off the drives and walks and planned the setting of trees and shrubs. By 1859 the work was completed. To finance the enterprise, the students had solicited funds and given fairs enthusiastically. How happy it must have made them through the years to look upon the results of their labors! During his years as president of the college. Dr. McDowell made many improvements in the grounds. The beautiful pine drive was his idea and the result of his labors: the banks of the merry little stream which flows through the ravine at the edge of the campus were cleared, walks were laid off, and swings and rustic seats were put up. The Labyrinth, as the park had always been called, holds many a happy memory of Chowan ' s daughters. The two big magnolia trees which stand near the main building were brought by Dr. McDowell from his home near Camden, South Carolina; and the white rose vine, which blooms so beautifully near East Building, was grown from a cutting of the rose which Mrs, McDowell wore as a bride. Page Otie Hundred Thirteen iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin i :-..

Miss Rose Nowell. 1916. gave the Crow ' s Nest to the seniors of her class, and of all succeeding years, and it is used exclusively by seniors from year to year. The stone fountain near The Columns was given by the class of 19H in their junior year, and the summer house was erected by the Chowan Academy Seniors in 1922. In the early days of the college there were two beautiful summer houses which occupied corresponding positions on opposite sides of the central walk. They were patterned after the Crystal Palace in a New York exposition many years ago. but they have long since become only a memory. In the winter months the pines and cedars, cork trees, and hollies, now grown to stately dimensions, gave shelter to many birds, and their evergreen boughs bend often beneath their load of snow. In the springtime the campus is one glory of bloom and tender leaf; dogwood, apple, pear, peach, wisteria, forsythia. jonquils, and roses are over- topped by beeches, maples, magnolias, poplars, mimosa, crepe myrtles, elms, and oaks. And every tree is alive with birds — the cardinal, the robin, the mocking bird, the thrasher, the blue bird, the jay. the woodpecker, and the wren. No wonder the daughters of Chowan delight to sing: We do love thee! We do love theel Mother fair! Mother fair!
