COLLEGE
FOUNDED EARLY

Southwestern University Is q
college OF liberal arts belonging 70
the Methodist church or the State
or Texas. BY its charter 1t goes
back to the year 1870. when the
first college was established BY
Rev. Martin Ruter at Ruterville.
Southwestern University Is pro-
posing to operate today a first
class college OF liberal arts. There
are many advantages inherent III
the situation looking toward the
success OF such an undertaking.
The type OF work which has been
done through all the years by the
university Is manifested by the
number OF prominent and success
full men and women who have re-
ceived their training there. An in
stitution can best be judged not by
buildings OF garish publicity which
might attract the attention Of the
unthinking. but BY the quality Of
its product. Judged by this high
est standard. Southwestern Univer-
sity has rendered a distinct service
70 the church and TO the civiliza-
ton OF the southwest. and Is
worthy Of the highest appreciation
and consideration OF this south
western territory.
Some OF the advantages OF South
western University lie in the fact
that IL Is located in a small town.
Georgetown Is a city or less than
5000 population, which has grown
up largely around the university.
Such an atmosphere provides loca-
ton Tor a real academic institu-
ton. Then, too. the student body
is limited. Only 200 freshmen are
permitted 10 register. This gives a
college student body OF approx
mately 500. In such n situation.
close personal attention may be
given to the individual and the
student receives the best sort OF
opportunity for his own personal
development. Also. the student
body IS not so large but that the
individual student can come 10
know intimately the faculty and
the other members OF the student
group. This personal acquaintance
and friendship bears increasingly
useful results throughout all OF
life.
Southwestern University belongs
70 the Association OF Texas COL
leges, the Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools Of the
Southern States, and the Ameri-
can Association OF Colleges. This
rating entities her graduates or
other students who care 70 trans
fer full credit rating for the work
done az Southwestern University.
In addition 10 the academic
standards. Southwestern University
UNDERWRITERS certain ideals which III
themselves have been powerful in
fluences in the moulding or char
acter. AS an institution OF the
church, Southwestern University
stands firmly for the whole pro-
gram Of the church. and endeav-
ors TO equip men and women for
larger helpfulness.

Lions Will Do
Own Charity Work

HARLINGEN. July 24-Harlin-

Wealth of
Folk Songs
in america

National Federation of Music
Clubs, through its American music
department, is directing attention to
the rich store of English-American
folk music that exists today in this
country, especially in the Southern
Appalachian mountain section.
According to Mrs. Annabel Nor
ris Buchanan, chairman of the de-
partment, American folk music is
Anglo-Saxon in origin and does not
have its early beginnings in Amer
lean Negro or Indian chants.
Early English, Scotch and Irish
settlers brought this music to Amer
lean shores in pioneer days. Some
of the music which still may be
found in its ancient mode in the
mountain districts of the east has
attained the age of nearly 1000
years.
While the Virginia Federation of
Music Clubs state festival has made
this early American folk music a
part of its program, the national
federation hopes to bring this heri-
tage to countless other music low
ers, through it's use in song form
in public schools and courses in COL
leges.
John Powell, American composer
pianist, has been active with the
national federation in the promo
ton of these Virginia festivals.
The federation also is inaugural
ing them in other states and is
planning an American Folk Music
Festival in Washington, D. c., in
connection with the George Wash
ington bicentennial.
