Of valuable books of her husbands Ii

ISOLATION, the college faculty, and eMtho-
dism in North Carolina
NV children join me in tribute OF love
to one who was an esteemed friend oil our
family for three generations, when we
give to the college set OF the Encyclo-
naedia Britannica in memory OF Rev. Jesse
A. Cunningham. These books formed part
of nv husbands library, and Uncle
lessee was one Of his best friends.
It is suggested that two alcoves be set
apart in the college library-one named
in honor of each of these ministers who
were such loyal friends of the college
and whose names shall now abide with
us to stimulate and encourage others to
carry on the work. They have Cove TO
their reward and we ask their friends to
gather around their names in Greensboro
Female College such a collection of books
as shall be an honor to their memory and
to our whole church as we'll as blessing
to Greensboro Female College and its
students for all it's future.
1t is the hope of the Alumnae that 9th
ers will express love for friends by es-
fablishing alcoves named in honor OF
them. Please send liberal gifts of money
or books to these alcoves or the col
lege library as preferred and send them
quickly.
