Alumnae association of Judson

AIumnae association of Judson
 S college was held in the Carnegie library of Judson on Saturday morning. It was a meeting of intense interest, not only on account of the unusual number of alumnae present, but also because of the excellent reports made.
 The meeting was called to order by Mrs. W. L. Beasley of Birmingham, pres ident of the Alumnae association. Dr.
 Bomars prayer, which followed, in which he invoked Gods blessing upon the work of the alumnae, was most beau tiful and impressive. The secretary s report was read by Mrs. T. s. Herren of Birmingham, in the absence of Mrs. Dawson of Montgomery, who was unable to attend It was most gratifying re- port and a source of inspiration for even greater work in the future. Mrs. f4l- mores treasurer's report was presented in a very business-like manner and was received with much enthusiasm. The next numbers on the programme were short but very interesting talks by pr. Bonar and Dr. Smith, educational ssc- retary of the Baptists of the state, m
 which the movement for additional equipment and endowment dis cussed. The alumnae were commended by the trustees in their report at their annual meeting on the 2ith for their eN- cellent work in the past and it was re- solved by them that the success of the movement for endowment would depend largely upon the efforts of the alumnae. Both Dr. Bomar and Dr. Smith impressed upon those present the necessity Of definite plans by the alumnae for the accomplishment of the desired results. In a later talk Dr. Bomar explained why 1t is necessary that the college be en- dowed now; that the Association ot Southern colleges required an endcw- ment of at least s200,O00 for an A-grade college, as well as A-grade work. Dr. Bomar stated that Judson was doing A-grade work and was standard ooi- iege in many respects, but that in order to be recognized in the association of colleges she must have the required en- dowment. After the talks by Dr. Bo- mar and pr. Smith, Mrs. John Waters of Birmingham gave short talk which was most interesting to her audience, as she was the only woman member of the board of trustees who appeared on the programme. Her talk was alive with the past accomplishments of the alum nae. she read the resolution of the trustees, recognizing their faithful work in the past and urging upon them defil- ite plans for the future. Mrs. Waters stated that had it not been for the alum nae there would have been no movement for larger endowment, as they were the first to recognize the necessity for it, and that they were the real leaders. Most interesting talks were made during the morning by Mrs w. H. Lovelace, Mrs. Sutton, Mrs. Tubbs, Mrs. Quinn and Mrs. Jack Hobby. Mrs. Quinn and Mrs. Hop- by made reports for the Montgomery chapter oI the alumnae, which were espe- cially noteworthy. One feature of the re- ports was that the chapter had invested $500 in Liberty Bonds, and these bonds were presented to Judson for endow- ment. Mrs. Hobby stated that this ac- complishment was due largely to the efforts of Mrs. l.. G. Dawson. Miss kirtley or tho Judson faculty then pro- 1ected q movement for the establishme nt of an antique room at Judson, in which would be collected any articles of note that would be of interest to Judson peo pie of he future. She stated that quite q number of pieces of old furniture, dear to the hearts of the Judson folk, had already been collected as a beginning. This announcement met with the hearty enthusiasm of the alumnae.. As the meeting was coming to q close Mrs. Herren welcomed the senior class ot this year, as new members. in a few impressive remarks, and Miss Louise Blake, formerly of Birmingham presi- dent of the class, responded in her usual appropriate manner. Miss Sara Blue of the senior class then gave a re- port regarding the various activities Of the college family during the past year, which was most enthusiastically ie ceived. The well-known "Judson spirit was evnced by these reports, and it is source of joy as well as pride that the school maintains it's enthusiasm in all good works.
