pointed to report at the next session
or that body on the feasibility of es-
tabllshlng a some point in the State
hlgn grade college for women. At
the following session of the conven-
ton this committee reported favorably
and a board of trustees was appoint
ed to select a site, raise the funds, and
establlsh the institution. Raleigh was
speedily selected as the location. a
beautltul lot was secured in the heart
of the city, within one block of the
capital, central building was erect
ed and in 1899 the school was
opened for the first time, with some
thing over 100 boarding pupils pres
ent the first day; an overflow, and
other accommodation had to be pro-
vided at once. The Adams building,
an elegant 20 roomed brick structure,
on the same square, was purchased.
During the first vacation the number
of applicants for rooms made it neces-
sary to purchase two other buildings
on the same block. and all four of the
buildings were filled to overlooking DIT
the fall opening. During the summer
of 1903 tTty-SeYen young women APP
piled for rooms WHO could not be ac-
commodated in any of the buildings
so that the trustees proceeded to erect
another dormitory building which has
just been completed and opened, and
is now occupied. This building is
four stories nigh the fourth story be-
ing occupied by society halls and
rooms for the business department.
The building and Equipment will cost
about 100000. The. enrolment for the
session is 302 to date. In the course
of instruction offered an effort is made
to give the girls the same general
training as is received by boys in their
colleges. Especial lattontion is given
to English, which lis taught by two
full professors and one assistant. and
to science; two departments which
have seemed to us somewhat neglected
in the training usually given to
Southern girls. Our policy is to put
each department Under a head who
gives all his or her time to that one
department, and this policy is carried
out faithfully with lone exception.
A notable featured in our work is our
work in the school of music, under the
direction of Mr. Wade r. Brown,
which now stands among the fore
most music schools in the South.
The welfare of the students is
looked after by lady principal, 9
lady physician. two matrons. and a
nurse.
In the matter of discipline we are
working toward the self government
theory. Our experience thus far has
proved so satisfactory that we hope

While this is true theoretically, and
while taking the country as a whole,
we find few women engaged in every

?. The work of a faculty whose
