The Greensboro College Creed E believe in being rather than seeming; in the devotion to high ideals; in daring to do our duty as we under- stand it. 3 We believe in having an attentive eye, a listening ear, a busy brain; in keeping the mind clear and bright, filling it with wholesome thoughts of life; in losing ourselves in useful industry. We believe in being worthy at all times; in having grim energy and resolute courage for the conquest of (ear; in gaining confidence in our own ability. We believe in service, in doing kind deeds, thinking kind thoughts; in being strong, gentle, pure and good, steady, loyal and enduring. We believe in reverence for truth ; in humility ; in great aspirations and high ambitions; in toiling ever upward. We believe in cultivating the bright virtue of patriotism and the holy passion of friendship. We believe in studying hard, thinking quietly, talking gently, ac ' .ing frankly; in listening to the winds, the trees, the s ' .ars and the birds, to babes and sages with open hearts. We believe in being glad, in loving all, in hating none, in doing all bravely, bearing all cheerfully, awaiting occasions, hurrying never. We believe in striving to gain sound knowledge, not content simply to know, but determined to use knowledge for the h : ghest purpose. We believe in Man and Woman, in God s unending love, and in the Future.

and decided to put the property in process of liquidation. Later the main building of the college was destroyed by fire. The end of the institution now seemed to have come; but, through the almost superhuman efforts of the alumnae and the cooperation of the annual conferences, a new and splendid building was erected in 1904, and the school opened with the largest registration of students known in its history. Since then its pros- perity has continued. During the year 1906-07 the attendance reached high-water mark, and the same conditions have continued down to the year 1921. A new dormitory was erected in 1912, known as Fitzgerald Hall. The building was named in honor of Mr. J. W. Fitzgerald of Linwood. who gave $ 1 0,000 towards its erection. This building was filled to its capacity as soon as it was opened to students. In the year 1913, Mrs. Robertson having resigned. Rev. S. B. Turrentine. D.D., a member of the Western North Carolina Conference, was elected president. Since his election a new dormitory has been built, and was opened in the fall of 1917. This building is named Hudson Hall, in memory of Mrs. Mary Lee Hudson. Shelby, N. C, whose donations to the college amount to more than $13,000. A large home adjoining the campus was pur- chased in 1919, and has been converted into a commodious Music Building. The college now has the largest enrollment in its history. A new building for the Conservatory of Music is now being erected as the gift of Mr. J. A. Odell of Greensboro.
