MISS CARRIE BELLE VAUGHAN HARRY STILLWELL EDWARDS ON.... jd-Jil TUf Stillwell C XwurX.s . . • poet, novelist, essayist, and columnist, is one of the best known present-day Southern writers. He is famous for his story, Eneas Africanus,” of which more than one million copies have been sold since it was written in 1919. In 1896 he was awarded first prize of $10,000 by the Chicago Record for his mystery story, Sons and Fathers. This book was republished recently and has gained many new and enthusiastic readers. His column, Coming Down My Creek,” appears each Sunday in the Atlanta Journal. We love him for his delightful humor and interesting personality. He has always been a friend of Wesleyan and has been interested in the College through his wife, his two daughters, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, Nelle Edwards Smith, who have all been graduated from Wesleyan. Another granddaughter, Mary Love Edwards, is registered for the class of 1947. To Harry Stillwell Edwards we arc indebted for the theme of our yearbook taken from his book, Eneas Africanus,” which has often been referred to as the greatest American short story.

SMITH a l ' IcntCXij J Cilst niitlt • • • one of the finest men who ever lived. He served Wesleyan faithfully for twenty-five years gaining the admiration, love and respect of all with whom he came in contact. To those of us who knew him, his life and character are inspirational. Director of Wesleyan Conservatory Here’s to the Maestro, without whose music our lives would be the less rich; he is the heart and pulse of our Conservatory. This was not intended as a laudative sketch —but each of us knows that it is quite im¬ possible to say even a word without its be¬ ing praise. So we’ll be sincere, though brief, in saying, Vive le Maestro!’’ -21 - — UCultlJ C UltpJCA T Now young ladies” on your left is Dr. Rosser, professor of Biblical literature at Wesleyan for more than twenty-five years, and proud pos¬ sessor of a hiking W.” Chemistry, physics, the Crucible Club, the talc about Anne Wesley, a modern up-to-date scientist, a sparkling sense of humor, Carver and Joe, Jr.—Dr. Almand. An able coach, and understanding person— Miss Grotc has helped many a Wcsleyanne try to keep that desired trim figger.” Photography is one of Miss Broome’s hobbies; she made the shot of Miss Carnes. Philately (stamp collecting) is another hobby of hers. She can trace the history of Spain in stamps. Comparisons? Relationships? For stimulat¬ ing classes that keep you on your toes, we recom¬ mend Professor Daniel. Mr. Quillian’s pupils talk about things we couldn’t pronounce, and wouldn’t dare try to spell. But look at a list of the biology majors and you’ll see they like it. Mrs. Dcidrich is responsible for many things that make our life at school more like home. It is she who secs to it that flowers are around us. That’s a small part of her duties, but one that we p articularly appreciate. I)R - AI.MAND DR. ROSSER MISS BROOME MR DANIEL MR OUILUAN MRS. DF.IDRICH Prof. McKcllar is versatile in sports and in the literary arts. We like him for his well- rounded, understanding personality. The sophomores showed recognition of ability when they elected Miss McCann, our assistant librarian, as their class sponsor. We like Mrs. Walker for her versatility in sports; because she is energetic and cheerful; because she practices what she preaches. You don’t know Dr. Wiggins until you’ve heard him read some Uncle Remus stories. There’s a real art to it, and he does it perfectly. Freshman English, puns, Shakespeare, puns, tennis, puns, originality, puns, classes at 2:44 P. M., Dr. Gin. (Lest you get the wrong idea, we love puns.) Though he’s a newcomer at Wesleyan, Mr. Alley, our bursar, assures us of effi¬ ciency and capability. He wins us with his understanding and friendly smile. Those girls who are always reading big, thick novels are very probably Miss Rivers’ students. We admire her for her quiet dig¬ nity. MISS McC.ANN MR. McKELLAR MISS RIVERS -23 - MRS. WALKER ' GC l S DR . gigniluat ALLEY Miss Lin is a very sympathetic person with lots of natural wit, but where did she get that hobby of col¬ lecting all colors and shades of threads? Mrs. Comer, counselor and instructor in French and Italian, loves nothing better than a long walk on a beau¬ tiful day. Dignity, poise, and orig¬ inality combined with a witty and radiant sense of humor —for refreshment and relax¬ ation, we recommend our li¬ brarian, Miss Carnes. MISS CARNES MISS LIN MRS. COMER Mrs. Ross, psychology professor, has endeared herself to the hearts of her students through her knowledge and practice of her subject. Miss Barton, bursar of the Conservatory—a capable adviser in all difficulties. We associate Mrs. Ogden’s sweet and under¬ standing personality with solfeggio, public school music, and piano. What about the Toy Band ? Mr. Kraft displays great appreciation of the ability of his students. His classroom form and his analysis of his pupils’ personalities enable him to work in harmony with everyone. DR. BRUCE Calculus, co-ordinates and cen¬ troids all make sense toDr. Bruce, who, in his quiet and patient way explains them so that they make sense to us! f i MRS. ROSS MISS BARTON MRS. OGDEN MR. KRAFT When Maudie’s not playing a High¬ land Fling or a minuet for gym classes she’s reading the latest novel, and all the time being the grandest sponsor ever. Bubbling over with enthusiasm for her work, Miss Chaplin will make good house¬ wives of these Wesley- annes yet. Mrs. Rosser, teacher of Bible, has a thor¬ ough knowledge and deep understanding of the Bible as the world’s greatest literature. Because she recognizes present problems and faces reality squarely, we think Miss Rogers will help us, as future teachers, to do as she has done. Miss Simonson, professor of dramatic art, is admired by all of her students for her many outstanding qualities. One of them is her calm and direct manner at rehearsals —but don’t forget to give her that pencil. A pencil is as essential to her as a concert conductor’s baton is to him. MISS SIMONSON A quiet pleasantness and per¬ fection in business ability mark the capable personality of Miss Fulwood. No one knows just how much business Miss Winn does, but we all know she does it well. MISS FULWOOD MISS WINN Microscopes, fishing crips, interesting hands, a grand sport—these are Miss Howe . Dr. Whitman likes German and Spanish, cooking and flowers, and the Y”; and we like her. Miss Armand has charge of two of the most essential parts of the College—the bank and the bookstore. Don’t you think she manages them nicely. Miss Price: Well, what’s wrong with you now?” is the usual com¬ ment of Mary- gold when we go to the in¬ firmary with a sad, forlorn look, but be¬ lieve me, she has some ca¬ pacity for cur¬ ing all illness. Imagine feeding three hundred peo¬ ple every day! That’s what our capable Miss Rozar docs. Whether it’s a sore toe or a sore throat, Miss Beasley fixes us up. Here she seems about to fix up” Martha Bird. DR. WHITMAN MISS ARMAND BlASlO ' MISS MISS ROZAR MISS PMCE Mrs. McCaw, ceramic art instructor, is patiently working here. The beaut) of her art is symbolic of her nature. Miss Loyall and Miss Thomson alumnae secretaries—keep all old Wes- leyannes informed as to what is going on at school and among other alumnae. MRS. McCAW MISS LOYALL. MISS THOMSON ui v Mrs. Collins Jones, head of the Commercial Department, is a compe¬ tent, experienced teacher, as well as a student in our English and French De¬ partment. Miss Nelson radiates her interest so much in all that is musical that high C seems easy to reach. Miss Bartlett is the power behind the junior class, and judging from the MRS JONES class, that’s some power! Ask her government class about the book in her hands. For her progressive attitude, her loyalty, her friendliness, her helpfulness and her sincerity, we praise Miss Vaughan. MISS NELSON MAERZ VAUGHAN Mrs. Maerz, p rofessor of violin and en¬ semble—dear to the hearts of all who know her. MISS BARTLETT Miss Rivers has studied at many art centers in America and abroad. She is a splendid teacher and a valuable asset to Wesleyan. Isn’t Miss Kern sympathetic with us when we try to par- lez-vous? For a real friend we refer you to her. Mrs. Jelks is a very energetic person. Her time is filled with various activities, and she excels in all that she does. MISS RIVERS MISS KERN MRS JELKS In the background is something about the early history of journalism. In the foreground is Mrs. Rentz, one of Miss Garner’s former pupils. You know she had to be good for Miss Garner to leave us in her charge. We all know and love Miss Garner. To her belongs all the credit due our Journalism Department. We’ve missed her the last half of this year, but we wish her lots of luck. Mrs. Adams—Sammy to us all—with her vibrant per¬ sonality, has given us many enjoyable hours in gym; but most of all we like her habit of staging cabarets.” Workbooks, tennis games, cello music and chuckles in class remind us of Dr. Drake. He looks awfully serious here, but don’t let that fool you—it’s a big bluff! DR. DRAKE Patience is the best remedy for everything i s an old adage well suited to Mrs. Malcolm Jones, Jr and her work w ith the Little Conservatory Player as well as with the dramatic art students. She i always the same even-tempered person, though sorely tried” at times. MRS. JONES Jl. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Term Expires 1940 Elected Bishop W. N. Ainsworth, D.D., LL.D., Chmn., Macon, Ga .1904 Rev.

It is the spirit to win or lose,” but note that losing is the stepchild in that theme song. It’s the win¬ ning lavender and white colors that have flown from the most coveted Wesleyan cups and banners. It shall be in the end as it was in the beginning with the lavender and white rib¬ bon proudly tied to the soccer cup both our freshman and senior years. Just for variety’s sake the swimming cup, golf cup, and tennis doubles banner have flaunted those colors too. When it comes to starting things, the class of ’38 can be marked up as initiator of that peppy little tradition of getting up at crack o’ dawn on Thanksgiving day. Perhaps it was an unconscious habit hang¬ over from our earliest Wesleyan experience., of being roused out of bed at most any hour by the Tri-K’s of ’37 to whom a plea of mercy was as sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. They were a great class at that. They had to be to tear that basketball cup out of our grasp by a one-point lead our sophomore and junior years. Among things finished by this year’s seniors is that now outlawed custom of un- - 36 - uJ SPONSOR o{ 1938 restricted hazing. Our midnight hunt for the dead body of a former classmate, con¬ ducted in the wilds of Rivoli forest by forced labor from the class of 39, goes down in history as the last of its kind. For entertainments our ingenuity con¬ verted the Dempsey banquet hall into a golf course for the sophomore-senior ban¬ quet. At the junior prom to which our young men” came, Top Hats, White Ties, and Tails were the theme; and then we got . . , . . (,K. ( I TAYLOR sentimental on our last Ihanksgiving when Conservatory President we made toasts to the dreams that Wesleyan has fulfilled. A crime ’twould be to leave out of a class history those two centennial celebrations at which we danced and sang, marched and marshaled. That record won’t be dupli¬ cated—at least not for one hundred years! Speaking of centennials and grandmoth¬ ers and such things brings up the last part of our song, “We are daughters of the true and bold, proud of the honors that we hold.” There is only one more honor to go and on May 30 garbed in cap and gown, it will be the same old Spirit of ’38 march¬ ing up to the stand for Wesleyan’s diploma.

After our first timid dip into the stream of college life, we settled down into a routine of study, classes, games, and week-ends. As freshmen, we were second in the basketball games and runner-up in the tennis tourna¬ ment. As we entered our sophomore year, we became sophisticated, dignified, and ma¬ ture, condescending only to initiate the freshmen. Our manner had changed subtly from our former naivete. We won the swimming meet under the leadership of Stoope”; beat the freshmen at basketball, and then in the spring, we won the tennis cup, Edith Hillman being champion in the singles. We haven’t been able to win any of the soccer games yet, but we have had lots of fun going out for practice and learning MISS HELEN BARTLETT Sponsor - 74 - m ,1 SPONSOR e-fj 1939 the true meaning of cooperation and sportsmanship—ideals that will go with us through life. Although we have had splendid stunts all three years, and although we have been en¬ couraged by the cheers of our sponsor, Miss Bartlett (we think our stunt about the newspaper was especially good last year), the judges just won’t agree with us on the merits of our stunts, and we haven’t been able to convince them. No doubt when we have our last chance at the trophy next year we will show how good we really are. Gin” Anderson has led us in the paths of righteousness this year, and we have de¬ voted our time more to study and less to frivolity. Then too, there was the need of setting an example for our freshman sisters, who look to us for guidance. You see, we plan to do great things our senior year in scholastic work and in up¬ holding the ideals of Wesleyan. DOLORES SCHATZMAN.

Dear Sir: I write to invoke your assistance in tracing an old family Negro who disappeared in 1864, between my stock farm in Floyd County and my home place, locally known as Tommeysvillc, in Jefferson County.

During the rest of the year we kept our high loyal spirit, but the class failed to achieve any outstanding success in athletics.

Freshmen started their four-year grind with tests, tests, and more tests—physical, psychological, mental, personality, and en¬ durance tests. Strange as it seems they did endure! Nov. 1, 1937— Freshmen pop questions to Juniors. It seems that over this week-end a ma¬ jority of the freshman class decided to ask members of the junior class to be their big sisters”. Your snooping reporter overheard two of the freshmen talking: Now I know how daddy must have felt when he asked mother.” Thanksgiving day—Freshmen win soc¬ cer game; big banquet given. Tri-K ran true to form today as they triumphed over the sophs in the soccer game. Your reporter never saw such excite¬ ment! Wires and ’phone calls home, treats at the pharm, and thousands of other things helped to add to this excitement. And then the banquet—well—the freshmen had never seen anything quite like it. All eighty-five hearts were pounding so fast that the poor frosh could hardly keep up with them. Then the toasts, with their own president as first speaker; my, they were proud freshmen! MISS THELMA HOWELL Sponsor - 96 a,d SPONSOR ej 1941 After that, the songs, and the seniors marched by. Nearly every freshman cried; many did not know why. The freshmen all report Thanksgiving day at Wesleyan the most wonderful day of the year for all. Dec. 17, 1937—Christmas holidays at Wesleyan begin. The greatest day of the year at Wesleyan was Thanksgiving. Christmas vacation starts today, and the freshmen are sure to find Christmas the greatest day of the year at home. For a week, preparations have been made. There is not a happier group of girls anywhere than the Wesleyan fresh¬ men. This morning at five-thirty alarms began ringing and excited freshmen tum¬ bled out of bed. The carolers were coming! A candle was lit and placed in one window of each room. From the other, eager faces MARIGENF. ANDERSON Conservatory President FABIA TRICE Mascot peered down. The sight was lovely to be¬ hold. Each girl in the choir carried a can¬ dle, the light of which shone on her face. It was beautiful. After two classes this morning, vacation began. I have never seen such excited freshmen. Every heart was light and happy. Jan. 4, 1938— Freshmen back from the holidays. This morning the freshmen all had to be back in school at 11:30. How they dragged themselves in, but there was not the weep¬ ing and wailing that accompanied the first arrival in September. Every freshman is back here with a determination in her heart and mind to do her best in everything she undertakes. As one of them told your writer, The freshmen have by now grown to love Wesleyan and are very proud of it. We arc now determined to do our best to make Wesleyan proud of us!” - 97 - LILLIAN ACREE ATHENS, GEORGIA LELIA AIKEN ATLANTA, GEORGIA ELOISE AINSWORTH ATLANTA, GEORGIA ELIZABETH ALLEN COLLEGE PARK,GEORGIA MARTHA BALKCOM MACON, GEORGIA MARIGENE ANDERSON EASTMAN, GEORGIA BETTY BARTLETT CENTERVILLE, MARYLAND DOROTHY BENBOW LUVERNE, ALABAMA HELEN BLOODWORTH ATLANTA, GEORGIA HELEN BACON CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE MARGARET BRANTLEY ATLANTA, GEORGIA RUTH BROWN ATLANTA, GEORGIA • Louisville, Tenn., October 27, 1872.

The broad lawn in front abounds with roses and among them is a tiny fountain with a spray. The occasion of the visit was the marriage of the Major ' s only daughter, Beuaregarde Forrest, to Mirabeau Lamar Temple of Dallas, Tex. The wedding supper was charming in its simplicity and homeliness. The broad back porch between the two wings was closed in with smilax, and the feast was spread on a great homemade table. Seats were placed for forty. Such a display has not been seen in this section since the days before the war. Wine, the famous scuppernong of the Major’s own vintage, was the only stimulant visible, for the Major and his good lady are al¬ most total abstainers. Toast after toast was given, interspersed with songs from the Negroes in the backyard by a gigantic bonfire. - 10 ) - MARTHA RAMSEY EVANS, GEORGIA IDA LONG ROGERS HAMLET, NORTH CAROLINA VIRGINIA SCARBOROUGH LAKELAND, FLORIDA LOUISE SCOTT MACON, GEORGIA MARY STALLINGS ELEANOR SHELTON LAGRANGE, GEORGIA KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE SUE STANDIFER GENEVIEVE SPALDING HUMBOLDT, TENNESSEE FORT BENNING, GEORGIA JEANNETTE STANTON ATLANTA, GEORGIA CAROLYN STAPLETON ELBERTON, GEORGIA DOROTHY STEIGER WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA JUNE TAYLOR MACON, GEORGIA A dramatic situation came during the supper festivities. A sudden excitement among the Negroes was followed by cries and a stampede of the juniors. In the red light of the bonfire an old Negro suddenly appeared, reining up a splendid gray horse. The old man was seated in a red¬ wheeled road cart, enveloped in a flapping lined duster and wore a silk hat. His Whoa, Chain- lightning resounded all over the place. Then he stood up and began to shout about Moses and the Hebrew children being led out of Egypt. Major Tommey rushed out. The newcomer met him with an equal rush and their loud greet¬ ings floated back to us: Eneas, you black rascal, where have you been? O, Lord! Marse George! Glory be ter God! Out o’ de wilderness!

But suddenly the old man grew rigid in the grasp of a momentous thought. His voice sank to a whisper audible to only a few of us: Marse George, wha ' s Nancy?

The old Negro was making a horn of his hands and giving the plantation halloo. With his eyes set on the shadows beyond the fire, he waited, an inscrutable smile on his wrinkled face.

The Honor System is the very foundation of College Government. It has become a fixed principle at Wesleyan that the highest standards of honor must be upheld in every phase of college activities and college life. The object of College Government is to represent and to further the interests of the student body, and to secure coopera¬ tion between different organizations, and to promote responsibility, self-control, and loyalty among the students. Although Wesleyan cannot boast of a perfect Honor System, we are striving each year toward a higher form of self-government. College Government is the recognition by each member of the student body of her own individual responsibility to law and order. We believe that a life of expression is stronger than a life of repression; and in making our own rules, choosing our own leaders, and governing ourselves, we are learning one of life’s most important lessons. -138 - HONOR COUNCIL Joe Estes .

ANN MUNCK President The Y. W. C. A. of Wesleyan, like the national Y. W. C. A. with which it is affiliated, has for its purpose the realization of the full, creative life through a growing knowledge of God, and making this life possible for all peo¬ ple. It aims at the highest development of Christian character in every student through its influence. The Y. W. C. A. of Wesleyan College was founded in 1897 with this purpose in mind: To win young women for Christ, to build them up in Christ, and to send them out for Christ. Even in its infancy, the organization sought, even as it seeks today, not only to add spiritual depth and to offer its best resources for living the abundant life, but to increase opportunities for social living, for creative living, living through service, and for living through mental stimulation. With such views in mind the mechanism of the organization was set up. Opportunities for soc ial living come mainly through the direction of the Social Activities department, with the plans made for informal parties, after-dinner coffees, Christmas trees, spelling bees, and annual stunt night. For the life found in service to others the Social Service department offers work— or rather play—with the Hephzibah Home children, and campus interests. A further interpretation of living comes from suppers and discussions with girls of the industrial world in connection with the Macon Y. W. C. A. Broadened sympathies and knowledge of the world around us are derived from the interests of the World Fellowship Group. Bi-monthly discussions are also planned for mental stimulation and information. Creatiyeness is expressed through the Publicity Department, with its poster making and bulletin board arrangements. In music there is found a means of worship through step-sings, Christmas caroling, musicals, and in the part music itself plays in all the programs. Through worship in the services of morning watch and vespers the influence of the Y. W. C. A. is perhaps felt most. It is a means of strength and inspiration for fine living. Throughout all its activities, the Y. W. C. A. offers its services to the students, to help them in every way possible. • • In this task we to understand Jesus and to follow Him.” - mo - Ann Munck Sara Griffin . Ann MacDonald .

The present Athletic Association was organized in 1920, and is now one of the three major organ¬ izations on the campus. Each member of the Board has supervision of some phase of the athletic program. The Board sponsors all athletic activities throughout the college year. The begin¬ ning of soccer practice early in the fall initiates the Freshmen into the college sports. Enthusiasm, class spirit, and true sportsmanship are displayed on Thanksgiving day as the freshmen meet the sophomores and the juniors vie with the seniors in the first soccer games of the season. Even before the thrill of soccer has subsided, all students look forward to basketball with equal enthusiasm. The swimming meet and tennis tournaments arc the main features on the sports calendar in the spring. Throughout t k year the Board promotes such activities as golf, hiking, horseback riding, ping pong, bicycling, and baseball. Aside from regular sports, the Board furnishes fun for the student body with , ' ' . ' . tS ’ r ‘ cs ’ an£ l unusual parties. The most elaborate entertainment of t e year is the cabaret. The colorful decorations, the orchestra, and the floor show add to the festivity of the occasion. The ultimate aim of the Wesleyan Athletic Association is to create an interest in physical development and to promote true sportsmanship. - 142 - ATHLETIC BOARD Dorothy DuPuis Sally Smith .

Dr. G. W. Gignilliat. It is designed to be a permanent record of the college year, revealing in concrete form the college life of the students in their activities and organizations. The first annual of Wesleyan was The Adclphcan,” a record of the college days of ’99. This was published by the Adelphcan Society, which later became the Alpha Delta Pi sorority. The next annual was published six years later and was called The Zig-Zag. In 1913, the book appeared under the mysterious name, Ku Klux.” Several years later the annual staff changed the name of the publication to Veter¬ ropt, coined from the Latin words veterrimus ct optimus,” meaning oldest and best.” - 14B - VETERROPT Lillian Touchstone .

Mdnaxrr lie WESLEYAN The Wesleyan desires to give expression to the creative instincts of Wesleyan students. Its beginning in 1901-02 presaged a long, active career devoted to sincerity and orig¬ inality of expression. The Wesleyan shows to the student body the best efforts of a wide number of contributors. It attempts to encourage some literary ability, rather than to cater to the select few. A well-balanced diet of many types of literary material is offered in each issue. The W eslcyan has five issues each year. A general theme unifies each issue. The first was a Peace Issue, the second a Christmas Issue, followed by an early Spring and Spring and Commencement Issues. Each spring a contest is sponsored by the Wesleyan to spur the students to the best possible literary achievements. Many worthwhile contributions are selected each year. The Wesleyan is not devoted to fiction and poetry. Articles and editorials on student interests and student life appear in it. Every attempt is made to select material which has freshness of style, sincerity of emotional tone, and originality of ideas. - iso - WESLEYAN Suff Helen Jones . Marian Waxelbaum Alberta Trulock .

She was the first woman in the South to enter the field of journalism. It was she also who engineered the pioneering feat of having girls edit a city newspaper when the Wesleyanncs began the interesting custom of putting out one issue of the Macon Tcle- g rajdt in the spring—all this at a time when a newspaper office was considered a con¬ taminating influence for a woman. We admire her and love her, and we shall miss her little Garnerisms. We wish her luck in her new undertaking, and we arc sure that she will meet with the success in Arkansas as in Georgia, for with her love of starting things, she also finishes them in spite of all obstacles. For her, There are no Alps. To Miss Mary Virginia Garner, the editor and the staff of the Vetfrropt wish to dedicate this page.

DEBATERS ' COUNCIL Important on our campus is the Debaters Council, an organization whose purpose is to promote interest in current affairs and the ability to discuss them intelligently. The members are chosen from students of high scholastic standing who show real ability in public speaking. Tryouts for new students are held in the fall, and for old ones in the spring. The Debaters Council is an active organization, which fosters an ever-widening program. Meetings are held once every two weeks, at which time the members either give carefully-prepared debates or take part in discussions of current events. A debate is held between juniors and seniors every fall, and between freshmen and sophomores each spring. In addition, special emphasis is laid on inter-collegiate debates, by means of which Wesleyan is represented on other campuses both here and in other states.

ANDERSON, Ph.D., LL.D., President O ' f O ' OC3C ocraog;—sr w- - 1 88 - r ' EMORY UNIVERSITY i GEORGIA ATLANTA U Founded in 1836 as a liberal arts College, moved to a new and modern plant following its enlargement into a University in 1915, Emory combines the l est of the old in higher education with the cst of the new. From the beginning this institution has striven for 0 quality rather than quantity in its student body. The University today, consequently, is small enough for friendly, inspiring relations between students and faculty, yet large o enough for the broadening, cultural influence that comes from contact with men in many fields of learning. Emory’s 235-acre campus of rolling woodland is located in the beautiful Druid Hills section of Atlanta, six miles from the heart of the city. There are eighteen buildings of Georgia marble and concrete, constructed along distinctive lines of architecture and pro¬ viding the most up-to-date facilities for study and student life. The University operates on the four-quarter basis. By attending school in the Summer Quarter, which carries the same credit as each of the three quarters in the regular 2 scholastic year, the student may finish his college course in three years. U Emory is fully approved by the Association of American Universities, the highest of all the accrediting agencies, and each of its professional schools holds an “A” rating in U its respective field. O The Emory Junior Colleges at Oxford and Valdosta, Georgia, are integral parts of the University system. For further information write to TUC DE KTD AP Pmnru Univertihf. Emorv University.
