Alumnae Meeting.
The meeting of the Alumnae Association
OF the Woman's College on Thursday.
February eighth, proved very successful
and enjoyable, IN spite OF the Indictment
weather. Mr. Hening. Of the Education
Commission, spoke at some length to the
association In behalf OF the Central Col
lege for Women.
He impressed upon the ailmnac the
necessity OF immediate action on the
part of Richmond in giving conditional
subscriptions for the college, which sub
scriptions must be in by April LIST, as
1t Will then be decided whether the coll
lege viii be located here or elsewhere.
Richmond. as n whole, does not seem
TO realize that the college Is surely to
be located, and that o;her1cities have
offered $1,000, which offers Richmond
has to compete with. The public perhaps
does not understand that II the Central
College is located in Richmond the pres
ent college Will be the nucleus upon
which IT is built.
But those interested do not seem to
realize that II Central College Is located
elsewhere. without doubt. the life of the
Woman's College in Richmond will be
short. one especial reason for this fact
being tina smaller schools Will become
mere feeders for the Central College.
Such important facts should 40 Impress
Richmond people that every public
spirited man and woman, not only of
the Baptist enomination-for although
the school will he under Baptist control
II viii not be denomlnationai-to do their
part towards locating 1t here. not only
by subscriptions of money. although this
Is most necessary, but a-5o by interesting
others in the work.
The time is short and Richmond men
and women should awake to the fact that
this is an opportunity not to be lost. The
following Is a cop of the blank to be
used by those who wish to subscribe:
