guard of guests, interest in the Home
Coming Of former pupils of Columbis
Institute is quickened, and from now
until the departure OF the four score
visitors, social and educational inter
est will center in this suspicious event.
The Home Coming" is in celebra
tion of the Institutes seventy-ffth an
niversary. For three quarters of a
century the school has been one Of
the leading educational institutions
OF the South, and its alumnae are
found in almost every state in the
union and in many foreign countries
Many of them are leaders in social
and domestic life, and their re-as-
sembling here will be a notable occa-
sion.
Only a small part of the alumnae
have accepted the invitations. Nat
urally many of them are kept away by
domestic duties, while the names of
others have been lost with the destruc-
tion of records. Death has claimed
some. But the number who have ac-
cepted the invitations is large, and
the gathering will be both distinguish
- and representative.
The exercises will open Friday at
noon at the Institute, when Mrs. Har
Gin P. Figuers, of this city, will deliver
the welcoming address. The response |
will be by Miss Myers, of Nashville.
A buffet luncheon, given by DR.. and
Mrs w. B. Capers will Immediately
follow the addresses.
Friday evening at half past eight,
the alumnae will be given a reception
at the Hotel Bethel.
Saturday morning business meet
ang will be held at the Institute at
ten o'clock.
Saturday afternoon the local and
visiting alumnae will assemble at the
Institute and will be driven in autos
to the country home of Mrs. Will Rid
ley, where they will be rendered re 6
ce ton. c
Sunday morning at II o'clock beauti e
full ST. George Chapel will be conse-
Grated by Bishop Gailor. This will e
co'se the formal exercises. e
