GREENSBORO FEMALE COLLEGE
Story of One of the Oldest and Greatest Colleges for the
Education of Women in the
South.
South.

For more than a half century this
prominent school for young women
has been an important factor in the
educational life of the State at large,
but more particularly of that class OF
her citizenship embraced within the
Methodist church; for while not sec
tartan, in any sense of the word, this
venerable institution is UNCONVENTIONAL
in that it's foundations We're laid by
the fathers of Methodism in this
State; and to their devoted and self
sacrificing labOrs is due the fact that
the daughters of that branch Of the
church to which Greensboro Female
College belongs We're among the first
in the South to have q chartered col
lege in which they might receive the
intellectual and spiritual training
needed to fit them for bearing their
part in the great work of building up
q church which has borne Il large ana
honorable part in the establishment of
Q commonwealth based upon morality
and Christian principles. In every
form of society woman plays an i'm
portant part in determining the char
acter of the social fabric; and to no
element of her citizenship does North
Carolina owe larger debt of
gratitude for the high character OF
her religious, educational and social
institutions than to her cultured,
Christian womanhoOd.
To the many daughters who have
gone forth from her own doors to
take part in the great work of the
past fifty years along these lines,
Greensboro Female College points with
pardonable pride. Wherever they
may be, whether scattered from the
seaboard To the mountains of their
own State, or dwelling in other States,
or toiling in far distant lands for the
evangelization of the world, she sees
them. gray-haired mothers in Israel,
earnest, strong-fac matrons, and
bright, eager young women, eXempli-
fying the lessons of truth and wisdom

The Agricultural and Mechanical
College for the Colored Race at
Greensboro is located on a hill in the
northeastern part of the city and at
tracts the attention of passengers traV-
cling on the railroad lines upon either
side of the school. 1t has three inn
portant buildings: the main building,
the mechanical building and the
dormitory costing about $4,000. A
new dormitory is now in course of
erection which will enable the insti-
tuition to double its capacity for lodg-
ing students. In addition to these
buildings upon the campus of twenty
five acres of land are a well arranged
dairy, barn. a building about TO be
fitted up as an infirmary and two green
houses.

that the end was not yet: and some

caught by others, and nope was
kindled again in many hearts, so that
before the students dispersed 10 thelr

them that the College should be re-

for boys and young men and is
thoroughly equipped. 1t looks after
matters of morals and religion, but it
is strictly on-denominational.
The school had a beginning, and let
us bark back to that, just to see what
a really big institution came from a
very humble beginning. 1t was some
fifty years ago that some half score
of plain, simple men, rugged in their
character virile in the strength of
their integrity with clear-sighted vi
sion into futurity, with a wisdom ex-
ceeding that of their age and oppor-
tunity, met to consider the welfare of
their own and their neighbors' chill
dren. The conference was held un-
