Eight Sweet Briar undergraduates
| ehiiFened proceedings by a series of
sweet Briar songs and cheers OF
which the campaign slogan: Give
US the cash. give us the mon-Sweet
( Hfiar camapign must be Won" Is by
far the most popular.
The country OF today is rife with
unrest said Mrs. Williams in open
/ ing the meeting, because of the lack
! or educational leaders to .counterhal-
ancc The ignorant and because since
! the war many & US have nothing
great to do. The Sweet 2riar cam
paign offers US the chance to do a
i truly great work by working to in
: crease the supply of educated lead
crs
You are .shout 10 enter a campaign
! TO serve Virginia and to serve the ma
tion,' said Mr.. rabuey. The great
opportunity before this splendid
gathering Of representative women
here today Is to make the men of
Richmond realize that in endowing
sweet Briar they will make a con-
tribution to the state of Virginia
! winch will outlast their own lives
and bear fruit throughout coming
! generate tons"
i Sweet Briar college stands TODAY
at tho crossroads. President McNea
! declared in speech calling forth apt
pause at many points.
III cannot move forward one atom
i without an endowment fund Its sole
/ present income is from tuition fees
ana these cannot be increased with
out making it almost impossible for
I girls of moderate means to enter the
college, without making it 10 all
practlctL S~rposea. ~ 0,stituiion for
wealthy girls only.
IL seems the manifest destiny of
sweet Briar To become nationaI
college in the South. It's students are
drawn from thirty eight states. 1t has
a greater number Of students from
sections from other than the South
than ali other Southern women
colleges of first rank combined. Swee
Brian impresses Virginia culture and
the Nirginian tradition on girls from
every section in the country. In re-
! turn Sweet Briar has never ask ed
virginia for cent. Virginia has
grown greatly in material prosperity
in ~ecent years, But if our ideals and
our practice in education do not keep
pace with our material growth. we
shall be poorer in the things that
, make for civilization than we were
at the end OF the civil war"
The need of cooperation among
, the women of Richmond to lift then!
out of themselves and to make this
educational movement a success was
, urged by Mrs. Beverley j. Munford
while George O. Tamblyn, executive
2 secretary outlined plans for the de-
velopmcnt Of the intensive part OF the
Richmond effort the last week in
? March.
