"WATAUGA HALL. !"
THE NEW BUILDING AT THE A. AND
M. COLLEGE CHRlSTENED.
The Idea of Establishing an Industrial
School Originated in this Club
Walter n. Page, Tom Dixon and
Others Were Among the
Members.


The new building at the Agricultural
and Mechanical College is completed
1t has been christened "Watauga Hall, !"
in honor of the Watauga Club.
In this club the idea of establishing
a State industrial school originated
and to the efforts of the club the col
lege owes it's establishment.
Mr.. w. J. Peele, one of the leading
members of the club, said yesterday:
THE association of young men known
as the Watauga Club was organized
May 9, 1884; their object was the study
of economies, practical improvement
of their locality and the State general
ly. Among the charter members were
Walter IL. Page, Arthur Winslow, g..
Edgar Leach, John w. Thompson, A. d.
Jones (deceasedD, VIII I'll. Kerr (de-
ceased), Dr. r. II. Lewis, w. j. Peele.
Afterwards quite a number of others
became members, among whom were
Mr.. w. S. Primroses Thomas Dixon,
Jr. At the first meeting a paper was
read on Industrial Education and the
propriety of establishing an industrial
school in Raleigh. The club took up
the idea, memorialized the Legislature
upon the subject, pressed this object
steadily for four years with the assist
ance of many other gentlemen all over
the State, and the movement culmi-
mated in the establishment of the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College.
''The cornerstone was laid August
22nd, 1888. Speeches were made by the
late Governor Scales and Gen. ID. NJ
Barringer. The historical address on
that occasion was delivered by myself
"The first president of the club was
Walter II. Page, and the secretary was
