ECHO I024 then its prosperity has continued. During the year 1906-1907 the attendance reached the high-water mark, and the same conditions have continued down to the year 1924. A new dormitory was erected in 1912, known as Fitzgerald Hall. The build- ing was named in honor of Mr. J. W. Fitzgerald, of Linwood, who gave Jiio.ooo 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. Turren- tine, D.D., a member of the Western North Carolina Conference, was elected presi- dent. Since his election a new dormitory has been erected and was opened in the fall of 191 7. This building is named Hudson Hall in memory of Mrs. Mary Lee Hudson, of Shelby, N. C, whose donations to the college amount to more than Sl3,0CK). A beautiful building for the Conservatory of Music has lately been erected as the gift of Mr. J. A. Odell of Greensboro. The Greensboro College Creed E believe in being rather than seeming; in thf devotion to high ideals; in daring to do our duty as we understand it. Wffl| We believe in having an attentive eye, a listening ear, a busy brain, III in keeping the mind clear and bright, filling it with wholesome thoughts of life; in lo.sing ourselves in useful industry. We believe in being worthy at all times; in having grim energy and resolute courage for the conquest of fear; in gaining confidence in our own ability. We believe in service, in doing kind deeds, thinking good thoughts, in being strong, gentle, pure and good, steady, loyal and enduring. We believe in reverence for the truth; luimility; in great aspirations and high ambitions ; in toiling ever upward. We believe in cultivating the bright virtue of patriotism and the holy pa.ssion for friendship. We believe in studying hard, thinking quietly, talking gently, acting frankly; in listening to the winds, the trees, the stars and the birds, to babes and sages with open hearts; we believe in being glad, in loving all, in hating none, in doing all bra ely, bearing all cheerfully, awaiting occasions, hurrying never. We believe in striving to gain sound knowledg: ' , not cnnfnt sim|il ' to know, but determined to use knowledge for the highest purpose. We believe in man and woman, in God ' s unending love, and in the future.
