During the year 1906-07 the attend- ance reached high-water mark, and the same conditions have continued down to the year 1920. A new dormitory was erected in 19 12, known as Fitzgerald Hall. The building was named in honor of Mr. J. W. Fitzgerald, of Linwood, who gave $io,(K o 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. Tur- rentine, 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 1 91 7. 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 beautiful building for the Conservatory of Music has lately been erected as the gift of Mr. J. A. Odell, of Greensboro.
