Page Eleven r HE QUADRANGLE But whether clad in Confederate Grey or black merino or in the latest and most approved dictates of fashion, the wearers of the LaGrange uniform have been brave and loyal little women; and they of this new administration will gi e their pennants of Red and Black to the breeze, conscious that she is wreathed in glory and aware that theirs is Holy Ground. Proud because of their heritage, yet humbled because of their realiza- tion of the greatness of the task confided to them, and knowing that their work is God ' s work, and that He never leaves His workmen unholpen in the hour of need, they go forward into a bright and glorious future.

Oxford cap were required for all students and worn on all public occasions. The long reign of the Oxford cap and gown was thus inaugurated and held its sway more or less rigidly through successive generations until the present administration introduced the custom of having a well-made suit of dark blue, of such design as is best suited to the individual. Well-nigh a hundred years have passed since the first demure sunbonnet maidens daintily made their way down College Hill to the village church. The hill and stretch of woodland, and the church all have given way to improvement. The winding path down which those sunbonnets passed has become a stately avenue, and the L. C. girl of to-day, clad in her tailored gown of cloth with her becoming hat of the latesx and most approved vagary of fashion bears but slight resemblance outwardly to her of long ago. But girlish hearts are much the same, whether they flutter beneath crisp fluted ruffles of snowy lawn over black clad figures or throb against dainty chiffon and satin blouses ; and she who wears the uniform to-day, as in the years gone by, holds the heart of the city enthralled.

THE QUADRANGLE Page Twelve MISS DAISY DAVIES President of LaGrange College. Miss Davies was elected President in the spring of 1915, assuming the responsibilities of her office the following summer. While she has the distinction of being the only woman college president in Georgia, she has already proven herself master of the situation. She has not only won the admiration and affection of her faculty and student body, but she is exerting a large influence for good in the City of LaGrange, and has established a place for her- self among leading educators. We predict a glorious future for LaGrange College under her administration.
