The Alumni Address.
The evening was given over TO the
alumni, and for the first time In three
years our alumni delivered the. ad-
dress. The speaker was Miss Mary
Virginia Goodwin, 1907, Appomattox,
Va 1t was fitting that she should
speak of woman and the worlds war,
In view OF the sacrifices the women of
the world are called upon to make in
connection with the present world
conflict. She thrilled her audience as
she told OF the acts of heroism across
the waters and brought them TO tears
as she painted their sufferings. Miss
Goodwin felt that women have even
more at stake In war than men, and
insisted that they should have a
voice In the events that precede its
declaration.
