m HISTORICAL SKETCH OF SALEM A ' littli loiiiiiiuitily of Mdidvians located at ■ • Sale III, North (Carolina, cstiibtisheil a school for tjirls ill ITT 2, e of the earliest schools foiimleit in the United States for the education of women. The school supplied a need of the time, and in i802 a board- ing department ii ' as added. Girls of other denominations from the entire South came to Salem Academy in after years because of its u ' holcsome Christian training. In lS66 a new charter tras granted uhich provided for a collee inte department. Durincj the past fifteen years Salem Academy and Salem College have been maintained as separate institu- tions, but both under the same administration. In recent years Salem College has been granted a rating as an A college and stands in scholarship among the higher colleges for women. The chief charm of Salem, hotvever, xvill ever be its unique atmosphere and its high ideals. The alumnae shoiv their appreciation of ii ' hat Salem meant to thetn by sending their daughters and granddaughters there. Any historical sketch of Salem College luould be incom- plete without recalling the period of Bishop Edicard Rondthaler ' s connection with it since the Civil IVar. Today he is the venerable and beloved teacher of Bible. His presence is a benediction, and his life an inspiration to the girls so fortunate as to inotv him. If ith one hundred and fifty-four years of splendid Christian education and thousands of loyal alumnae, it is safe to prophesy a future full of glory for Salem.
