Urzurually Proficient Family Progrfrr, Both Spiritual and Jllaterial The Edna Corpeninlg .Moore Dnrmifory capacities, as housemothe1', bookkeeper, teacher, dietitian, and nurse. Since she has assumed the position of bursar, which she has filled so efficiently, she has accepted a small salary, even smaller than that paid oflice help in many colleges the size of hlars Hill. Through the years students, teachers, and others have caught their spirit of sacrificial devotion, and have given it expression, not only within the college, but far beyond the college walls. One thing that has con- tributed greatly to Dr. hloore's success is that he has assembled an unusually profficient group of co-workers. Nineteen of the thirty-five have been with the college more than ten years, and some for over a score of years. Since Dr. Moore came in 1897 there has been much progress both spiritually and materially. In 1902 Dr. B. W. Spilman gave as a Christmas gift the Ray- mond Pollock Spilman Home. For nearly thirty years this has been used as a home for the young women of the college. Mrs. Spilrnan was deeply interested in Hher girls. In memory of her, Dr. Spilman established a permanent fund to provide for some needy girl each year. Among others who have been greatly interested in helping Mars Hill were M. C. Treat and his family. The largest gift made by them was Melrose Dormitory, which inspired the Baptist State Convention to duplicate it with Brown Dormitory. As days have passed hundreds of friends have made liberal donations and established permanent funds here to aid in the general progress of the college. As a result of this generosity, Mars Hill College has been enlarged from one small building on four acres of land to thirteen administrative buildings and several cottages on a one hundred-acre campus, with a corresponding growth in academic standards and things of the spirit. About a year ago a new dormitory fund was begun and on Founder's Day of 1937 the corner stone was laid for the beautiful new dormitory which will bear the name of Edna Corpening Moore. These things are an earnest of the Nlars Hill that is to be. .rl 1 ' I .
