The Continuation of Elizabeth
College In The hands OF The
Controlling syn0ds

After a session Of he Board Of
Trustees, with the presidents OF
the n,rolling synods, the presl-
>nts of Marion and Roanoke
Colleges, and the executive sec
rotary of the Beard Of Education
of the United Lutheran Church
sitting as advisory members,
which lasted from 10 A. M. on
Wednesday, Jan. 25th until IL T
M. that evening, with but brief
recesses for lunch and dinner, 1t
was reluctantly decided to ltc-
ommend to the controlling syn DIS
| the discontinuance of the college
at the close of the current session.
lit was further recommended to
the synods, after the trustees
lhad been assured by President
tSmith of Roanoke College that
an overture to correlate the two
institutions would not be cons1d'
lered with any favor by the
| Roanoke College Board, that the
met assets of the college be turn
ed over to the endowment fund
Iof Roanoke College, if such coulc
be legally done.
/ Unless the friends Of Elizabeth
college can secure the severa
hundred thousand dollars needed
for endowment, new buildings
and equipment before the meeting
of the synods, these recommends
| tions will undoubtedly be adopted
| The action was forced upon the
| Board of Trustees by the an
nounced intention of the Sgnod'
Iof Maryland and West Virginia
| to Withdraw their support from
the college in order to unite will
| certain Svnods in Pennsylvanl;
in tile establishment of d STANDARD
| college for women north OF til
| Potomac. An invitation was eX
| tended by a representative OF on
| of the Synods to Elizabeth Col
lege to move her transferable as
sets to the sight of the proposed
| college. Whilst this was con
sidered impracticable, it was re
commended to the two Eirgin1;
synods that they cooperate ii
the establishment Of the neV
institution. The foregoing action
was taken in a conference of tn
presidents of the four controllins
synods, the executive secretar'
Iof the Board of Education, ant
l. of the presidents Of Elizabeth
| Marion and Roanoke Colleges
| held during recesses of the Boar(
meeting. This conference alsc
loutlined an educational policy TO
the two synods in Virginia which
will be submitted to them TO
adoption at the meeting Of the
lsYnods called to consider TIL
Recommendations of the Board o!
Trustees of Elizabeth College.
Elizabeth College desires a
this time to express anew her APP
: preciation of the interest AM
sympathy of the communities o
Salem and Roanoke i'll her affair
and to say that nothing but tn
: tremendous advances i'll the re
lquirements for a standard COllegI
prevented her FROM accepting TIN
generous offer Of the Kawanis
IClub and other friends to raise ;
| sum for the restoration OF til,
| burned building and its equipmen
| The loyalty of the faculty an(
students of the college through
these recent and most trying cX
lperiences made the action of the
board all the more difficult. The
Igrief of the students over the &C
ton of the Board is indeed
pathetic.

Questions AlS,Uered
About Darius Green"

TO the Editor Of the Ercninc Public Ledaor:
Sir--Wiii YOU please write in your People
folum more thorough explanation of the
inclosed clipping. which Is from the editorial
gust IA, 1922:
Darius Green would enjoy himself in
Ci"rmoni-Ferrand these days"
As was quartered in Clermont -Ferra nd.
would like TO hear any news that might
come through from that part OF France.
Thank you EDw. II. BELL.
Philadelphia. August 10. 1922.
II the Peoples Forum correspondent will
read John I. Trowbridge's amusing verses
narratins the experiences OF Darius Green
and His Flying Machine" he will perceive
the applicability Of the paragraph he quotes.
Darius, he will learn, was among the early
eNTrimenters In what nowadays we know
as "aviation," but which in his time and
those OF the Boston author and humorist
was called flying, plain and simple.
Darius Green was Ingenious II not
ingenious lad who conceived the idea that
because birds could ccave the air by the
aid OF wInss there was no reason why a
boy could not construct a machine equipped
with HinEs that would carry him into space
with equal facility. He put his idea into
execution. with results that are remembered
with nrth by those OF rIper years who have
read Mr.. Trowbrdse' rhymed narrative.
Darius Green, OF course, did not provide
his machine with motive power, as Is the
manner of propulsion In tho modern air
piano. but relied on MS wings 10 carry
and keep him aIoft. His arguments as to
why this should be true are irresistibly
funny.
Now, the hy.ng men at Clermont-Ferrand
the other day experimented with what air
men OF today call "gliders''-that is. ma
chimes without motors--and Il was this that
suggested the thought that our old friend
Darius Green, who probably amused the
Peoples Forum correspondents grandfather
would have enjoyed the tests of his theories
OF II generation or more ago.
The TrowbridRe rhyme can be found in
any edition of that writer's works, accessible
in the Public Library.
