 Tie Rev A. J. Dickinson has written
 an appreciation of Judson, extracts from
 which are published thus:
 Hudson college, founded at Marion,
 Ala, January z. 1899, celebrates this year its diamond jubilee" writes Dr.. Dickinson. During these 75 years 1t has sent forth more than 100o0 women into society all over the land, but espe- cially in the south and in Alabama. This great work for the uplift of life is to be celebrated in this diamond jubilee; and to this end it's many alumnae and friends are organizing. There are many 'Judson girls in Bir- mingham, who will welcome this op- portunity to do honor to their alma mater and there will join them all lovers of good, honest work in edu- cation in grateful appreciation of this great institution.
 The property of the college is held by the Alabama state Baptist conven- tion in trust for educational purposes, and the college is operated under the supervision of a board of trustees ap- pointed by that body. The ideals and standards which have been wrought into the Institutional life during these T5 years through Nle influence of the cultured men and women that have worked in it. has now become so powerful and fixed that new students soon are caught by the spirit and tenn per of the college and become rapidly judsonized. Social institutions, ike per- sons. through their experience and work develop types of character which they give out to all who come under their influence. The study of social psychology has brought this to light in recent years and it is now well understood. The Judson is in this re- spect richly endowed, and incarnates in itself the highest ideals and char acter of southern womanhood which it gives forth to every girl who lives fin it's corporate bosom. So marked Is this that those who know well the institution can detect the old Judson girls all over the land by their very
 gifts and graces. The people of Ala bama and elsewhere have priceless heritage in this product of the past 70 years, a blessing which no money can buy. Appreciationg the value Of thls the trustees have provided from time to time entertainments of the best grade for the students on Friday even ings, which furnish both recreation from student work and inspiration and culture In the social life of the college community. The best musicians, the most cultured lecturers, the well known teachers and other social leaders are brought to the college on these occa- sions for the benefit of the students and others wishing to hear them. The re- ligious life of the community is care fully guarded, each being encouraged to cultivate the most conserving anu wholesome piety according to her falth. A piety free from cant, free rom sham' based on honest and intelligent oonVic- tlons is engendered by the very atmos- Ha the college community expresses American life with all it's varieties and types at their most healthful and efficient estates, and the better prepares thereby each
 one for service in the society for
 which she is preparing.
 Tt is thought worth while by the friends
 of the Judson to suitably celebrate the
 diamond pubiee of such an institution as
 this, and the trustees have projected such
 a movement and invited the public to join
 in making it worthy of the great Work
 it is intended to commemorate. It IS pro-
 posed to organize the alumnae and friends
 of the institution in each community III
 the state and in other states where sul-
 f1cent number may be found Not only
 is it meet that such service in the past
 should be properly appreciated by the
 people and expressed in some suitable
 way. but it is hoped that the faithfulness
 of the institution in the past may by such
 a movement be conserved for it's greater
 efficiency of service in the future. The
 people have grown immensely during re-
 cent years and this means that their in-
 stitutions must grow in their capacity
 and competency for service. The Judson
 for this reason needs to reallze on all US
 assets of every kind to conserve it's
 growth for the increasing demands upon
 it. and through this celebration something
 to that end is sought"
