Its Friends Are Jubilanr Over Action Of the
Conference

Greensboro, n c., Nov. Ito Green's
boro people one of the most interesting
questions connected with the meeting of
the Methodist conference at High Point
was what action will it take in regard to
Greensboro Female College? Upon inquiry
it is found that the Conference has done
all that could be expected or desired. The
Conference endorsed the plan laid before
ii by the alumnae association, electlng as
trustees tc represent it, l. l. Davis, NJ. ID.
Stockton and c. II. Ireland. They passed
resolutions pledging their patronage and
sympathy and endorsing the plans pro-
jected by the alumnae for hquidating the
bonded debt and raising an endowment
fund OF 100000. They also appropriated
an equitable share of the educational fund
d assist the college in meeting the inter
est on the bonded debt.
The Conference manifested its vital in
terest in the matter by subscribing over
$4,000 to the bonded Indebtedness fund
without even a public collection being
taken. Miss Mamie Lee Smith. financial
agent of the college, was presented to the
conference Just before the appointments
were read out and made fine impression
and a fine speech. In fact, she was over
whelmed with applause. Bishop Smith
followed IN strong speech endorsing
most heartily the plan the agent and
the movement. He said that the women
would succeed and advised the men to
be responsive. He authorized Miss Smith
to button-hole every Methodist in West
tern North Carolina and make him con-
tribute to the college The friends of the
college feel very jubilant over its pros
poets. On the Sunday before conference,
in few minutes. they raised over $4,000
in West Market Street church for the
college, and have everv reason to expect
to obtain the $4,000, which the board of
stewards advised that church to raise.
At the Western North Carolina Confer
eace they met with Just the measure of
success they expected, and when this
worthy interest is presented to the North
Carolina Conference next week, they feel
sure of hearty reception.
