After Chapel exercises, we are
conducted through. the corridor
leading TO the dormitory, the other
large brick building previously
mentioned. We glance into one
of the rooms and find it neat, COM
fortably, though simply furnished,
and heated by steam, es are all the
College buildings. We are now
shown the immense dining, room.
china closets, pantry and kitchen.
Every thing is spotlessly.. clean,
and the extensive cooking ptepara-
tions are carried on with unsonted
system due to the excellent man.
agement of Mrs. Edwards.
On the second and third floors
there is little interest US, but on
reaching the fourth Miss Carr
proudly shows us the bright prettily
furnished Young Woman's Chris
tian Association Hall and the
Society Hail.. We are now told of
the wonderful good done by the
Y. w. C. A., how girls are here
changed from thohghtless stu
dents, to earnest Christian workers,
how, in this college, the Christian
life is developed hand in hand
with the intellectual. But Miss
Carr is too modest to tell us that
she is the faithful President of
the Association.
We pass; on to the:Society Hall.
What source of pride is this to
the studentsl It's pretty red car.
pets, bright window hangings, rich
society banners, its portraits and
comfortable chairs do indeed make
it a CHEEKY, attractive place. This
is the joint property of the Peyton
and Callaway-Orr Literary So
cieties. The former is named for
Mrs. Peyton, whom all love and
reverence for her great and
unselfsh efforts to secure the col
lege for the girls. We soon learn
that Miss Carr is member of the
Callaway.Orr Society by her
glowing accounts Of its debates
and other exercises, and Of its
President, her gifted claasmate
Miss Bessie West. Now turning
lionssa d untenance agioN5 with
enthusiasm, pride, and love- Miss
Carr tells US how the Galloway.
Orrs love their society and most
of all their name, because it is be-
slowed in honor of those wonderful
women-Miss Galloway, Mistress
of Mathematics, and Miss Orr,
Mistress of English--who have
done such noble work in the col
lege. In her enthusiasm she
hurries US at once back to the main
building to their recitation rooms.
Ir Miss Callaway's room we find
the class in Calculus. The quick
ness and accuracy with which the
students find differential co.
efficients, or demonstrate Taylor's
theorem, convinces us at once Of
their exceptionally fine training,
equal to that.of 9our best Univer-
sites and Colleges. We are for
tunate enough to meet Miss
Galloway and learn. for ourself
how great is the soul as well as the
mind of this noble woman.
We now enter Miss Orr's room
where We find the sophomore class
reciting Anglo-Saxon. We are
gratified to find here genuine
English course which trains the
student to use accurate and ex-
pressive language, acquaints her
with the great masters of English
Literature, and gives historical
knowledge of the structure and
growth of language We happen
to he present on a lecture day and
Indeed have q feast. AS we listen
to the beautiful language of the
lecture expressing auch depth and
originality of thought, such knowl'
edge and such noble sentiments
we do not wonder at the students
enthusiastic admiration of Miss
Orr. We now enter the Chemical
, lecture room and Laboratory
. which are we'll equipped and afford
opportunities of gaining practi'
, cal knowledge of this Science not
to be had at any other Southern
College for girls. Under the eff.
cient guidance of Miss H. NJ. In
