IN MEMORIAM DR. FRANK SAMUEL CHILD 1854-1922 Or. Child was fur thirty years intimately connected %vith the growth and development of Elon College. His lectures here on Literature and History were masterpieces of the interpretation of the events and ideals that have stirred men to action in every age. He was a rarely felicitous wielder of our mother tongue and a most forceful public speaker. He was pastor for forty years of the Congregational Church, Fairfield, Conn. Though never a strong man physically, he found time to lecture to colleges, serve on boards of trustees of various institutions and write several great books. Among these we note An Old New England Town, The Colonial Parson of New England, A Colonial Witch, A Puritan Woo- ing, The House With Sixty Closets, and others. A manuscript, The Friendships of Life, a biography of the author in terms of persons he had met in all parts of the world, will soon be pub- lished. It will be a fitting monument to a monumental life. In the passing of Dr. Child, Elon has lost a great friend! Page eiijht

The Administration Building After standing for thirt -four years on the Elon campus, the Administration Building as attacked by flames; its walls were laid waste and its tower reduced to a hollow shell. It was the first building on the campus, and around it for years have revolved the various interests of college life. It was the nucleus out of which has evolved the splendid institution we know today as Elon. Her life history is essentiall} ' one of human ititerest. Having been conceived in the minds of men devoid of other resources than the determination to place within their children ' s reach the means of preparation for the complexities of life; having been born of prayer and sacrifice, with tears of joy and songs of praise to gladden the hearts of those whose labors gave her birth; hav- ing in infancy been nurtured with constant care, and guided through the perilous days of youth with tender solicitude, Elon has long since laid away her swaddling clothes and stands forth in her full strength and stature. While it is fitting that we pause to mourn the loss of this fine old building, it is more fitting that we turn our eyes toward the future, with the realization of what, through our efforts, our college may become. Ihe . ' dministration Kuilding had lived out its days of usefulness. Through its being, it has made possible the greater Elon, which, with progress for its watchword, has broken the bonds of limitation a[id reaches out to larger and better things; saying in the words of the poet: Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past ! Let each new temple, nobler than the last. Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free. Leaving thine outgrown shell by life ' s unresting sea
