iniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 1 m wm Early D ays N October 5, 1921, the North Carolina College for Women celebrated the thirtieth year of its activity with the biggest build- ing program and largest enrollment in its history. The first year of its work found three buildings, dormitory space for less than one hundred and fifty boarders, with a teaching force of fifteen, and an enrollment of 225 students. By 1 902 the faculty had increased to about thirty members. The library, which was for a time in rooms number 2 and 3, Main, had three thousand volumes. The training school had been built; the old infirmary, which is now a practice hall; the steam laundry, a large dining room, and a well-arranged kitchen all showed the growth of the college. By additions to the dormitories and by renting several neighboring residences the dormitory capacity was then about three hundred and fifty. An old annual of 1902 records the great comfort that had been given by the substitution of gas for kerosene lamps, the introduction of single beds, and the placing on every floor of por- celain baths. Courses were offered in three departments: the normal, the business, and the domestic science. There was also a special course in which a student could get training in vocal culture, physical culture, and industrial art. The course of study required four years for completion, after which the student received a lifetime license to teach in North Carolina. In 1919 the name of the college was changed from the State Normal and Industrial College to the North Carolina College for Women. In the fall of 1921 it was recognized by the Southern Association of Colleges as a standard college and became one of the six so honored in the state. At present there are sixteen buildings on the campus, six of which are dormitories, two class buildings, a domestic science cottage, the Y. W. C. A. hut, training school, laundry, and dairy. Dr. Mclver ' s residence is also on the campus. With the generous appropriation of the Legislature of 1921 three new dormitories were started, a new wing for Mclver, a new wing to the dining ».•■• :•:•:•:« •:•:• : •;» ; ■ »:• ' •:•:• '
