Believing in a broail cultvire, there is, nevertheless, emphasis placed upon the practical training of students. Side by side go the classics and the several branches included in home economics.

loyal alumna; who speak its claims and foster its interests. The movement just starting to add $300,000 to its assets will lie carried to a successful issue l)y its friends, and gratifying returns from such a notable investment are guaranteed — returns not in coin, but in multiplied and consecrated intelligenc-e. Thomas Meredith himself felt that the proper place for the College was Raleigh. Those who have seen the plant in operation agree that the site is well- nigh ideal. It shares the many advantages belonging to the capital city. Suf- ficiently isolated to secure innnunity from excessive interruiition of class work, there is, at the same time, opportunity for i)articipation in current attractions which, though incidental, contribute to a symmetrical culture. The institution was started wth the high ideal of provitling for young women instruction as complete and of as high a grade as that received liy our young men in the best colleges of the State. This worthy purpose has been maintained from the beginning, each modification of its curriculum being made in the interest of improved scholarship and the elevation of standard. For some time an acad- emy was conducted in connection mth the College. This was necessary in view of the limitations of the high schools supplying students. But these high schools have so far imjiroved in standard and the number of students adeciuately pre- pared for college has so rapidly increased that now only those who can present the credits prescribed by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges are admitted. The government of the College is largely in the hands of the stutlents. These elect the officers and executive committee of the Student Government Association, who report to the student body and are answerable to it. After several years of thorough testing, it is believed that by such a system of govern- ment a maximum of freedom and training is possible with a minimum of friction and evasion of the laws. A wholesome religious atmosphere pervades the institution. In addition to the daily chapel exercises, students attend Sunday School and church services each Sunday morning in one of the churches of the city. The Y. W. C. A. and the Y. .W. A. have healthy organizations which do much to quicken interest in the voluntary study of the Bible and of missions and contrilnite greatly to the prayer life of the students. The social service committees are active in carrying good cheer where it is needed and appreciated. 24
