Woodrow Wilson Hall Dedicatory Rite Held

<&-

DR. DODD DELIVERS EULOGY

Completing the quadrangle and proving the culmination and goal to- ward which the entire Harrisonburg Teachers College has labored since its founding, Woodrow Wilson Hall was dedicated May IB, 1931. Built of native bluestone and with rising white columns, this magnificent edi- fic proves a fitting tribute to the memory of Woodrow Wilson—fore- most statesman of his time, promin- ent educator, and Southern gentleman. From this building may be viewed Staunton, the birthplace of him for whom Wilson Hall is named.

"Woodrow Wilson sought not to fill the minds of men with a greater variety of learning but to aid them in putting to the best use the minds they already porsessed," stated Dr. Wil- liam E. Dodd, Professor of American History in the University of Chica- go, in the dedicatory address on "Woodrow Wilson and Education in the United States" delivered in the auditorium of Woodrow Wilson Hall. Dr. Dodd further elaborated on this theme and showed by many examples the strong influence which Woodrow Wilson cart over the modern trend in education.

"There is no institution today," stated Dr. Dodd, "which does not follow the precepts of Woodrow Wilson and along the line which he fostered."

The Honorable E. Lee Trinkle, Chairman of the State Board of Edu- cation and former Governor of Vir- ginia, presided over the dedicatory services and introduced the first speakers, Governor John Garland Pol- lard and the Honorable Harry Flood Byrd, who presented greetings to the College from the Commonwealth of Virginia and the Shenamdoah Valley.

Dr. Julian A. Burruss, president of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and former president of the aHrrison- burg Teachers College, gave a short address on the contributions which the College had made to Virginia. Dr. Burruss is indeed well qualified to rpeak on such a topic, for as first president of the college and, in later years, as a loyal friend and benefac- tor, he has always been closely al- lied with the college and with its in- terests.

Dr. Duke, president of the Har- risonburg Teachers College, responded with a look into the future and a talk on the ideals which'the College

Numbers of other distinguished men and women of Virginia and other states were present at the dedication service. Colleges of aMryland, Vir- ginia, West Virginia,, Illinois! and New York were represented. Many county and city school superintendents and heads of educational organizations also came.

At the close of the morning service representatives from twenty colleges congratulated Governor John Gar- land Pollard, Ex-Gov. Trinkle and President Samuel P. Duke. These representatives included: Dean Hodges, of William and Mary, Dr. Walter Flick, of Washington and Lee, an old Dayton boy; Dr. C. H. Lacey, of Hampden-Sydney; Dr. Wil- liam R. Smithey, of the Association of Colleges; Dr. Noland Canter, of Randolph-Macon; Dr. E. B. Jackson, of the University of Richmond; Dr. G. G Martin, of Emory and Henry; Capt.

Heatwole, of Virginia Jour- nal of Education.

WASHINGTON, Senator Hiram Bingham, Republican, of Connecticut, and Lieutenant Alfrod J. Williams, former naval racing pilot, today went to the support of the Army , Air Corps, following publication of a story that the mass aerial manoeu- vers between May 19-30 would cost the government $3,000,000. Both said the purpose of aviation is defense of the country and that sufficient training methods are essential.

The Air Corps has a definite ap- propriation for fuel, ft was explain- ed, and all pilots are required to put in certain cross-country time as training. Whether this training is obtained in mass formation or in routine flights, the same amount of fuel would be consumed. In addition the War De- partment will be enabled in the ma- noeuvers to work out problems of field maintenance, the command of large air units and the operation of an air division.

"Even a few lines on a card from that daughter away at school would be treasured and appreciated by mother at home," Mrs. W. J. Gifford told the girls at her talk at Y.W.C.A. on Mother's Day. She also brought out the wonderful sacrifices, and the mar- velous things mothers have done for their children. .

"If mothers of yesterday have done so much for their children with the few advantages they had, how much better mothers should the young girls of today make, when they are so rtrong physically and so well equip- ped mentally," said Mra. Gifford.

The Mother's Day theme was further carried out by a duet "My Mo- ther's Bible" by Ruth Watt and Eve- lyn Watkins, and a poem "My Mo- ther" by Pauline Efford.

MARY BALDWIN GLEE CLUB GIVES

CONCERT AT H.T.C.

MISS WARDLE DIRECTS CLUB

The members of the Glee Club of Mary Baldwin College were the guests of the State Teachers College at a concert on Friday evening of last week. Many college students and especially members of the musical organizations heard the unusual musical program which consisted of the following numbers directed by rfiss Constance Wardle.

SYRACUSE, World peace and friendly trade relations between the United States and other nations of the world to combat the growing "menace" of Soviet Russia were ad- vocated today at the closing business session of the ninth annual conference of the twenty-eight district, Rotary International.

Representative Frederick M. Dav- enport of Clinton and Dean Miller of Buffalo, governor of the twenty-sev- enth Rotary district", made the plea.

Mr. Davenport decared for "no can- cellation of war debts until there is a progressive disarmament in all coun- tries of the world along with the United States."

"If the other nations do not come through the depression safely and re- cover their rtability," he said, "the field of Russian communism might conceivably be greatly extended, and therein, rather than in present con- ditions in Russia, lies the greatest peril to the present economic and go- vernmental system of America.

"If Great Britain and Germany are driven to the wall by our exporting competition, we ourselves may be driven to wall if communism in Rus- sia, Great Britain and Germany should join hands against us."

Mr. Miller said the object of Rotary is to change men so they will think in terms of kindness rather than in war and enmity.

Blasts of trumphets anouncing the approach of the unknown Queen and her court broke the suspense of the audience attending the May Day Fes- tival on the lawn of Hill Crest yesterday afternoon. Following the two trumpeters, Anne Salmond and Louise Neal, the crown bearer, Grace Ferrebee, approached the thrown.

Down a petal bestrewn path the beautiful court, all in gowns of pink satin and carrying pink roses, con- ducted the Queen to her throne. The princesses of the Court were: Mary Cloe, Virginia Thomas, Virginia Stark, Harriet Ullrich, Guy Nell Mar- tin, Delphine Hurst, Frances Rolston, Harriet Pierson, Dorothy Harley, Margaret Beck, Virginia Hallett, and Evelyn Sykes.

Robed in pale blue satin and carrying pink roses, Mary Watt, Maid of Honor, immediately preceded the Queen. With breathless ecstasy the audience watched Grace Kerr, lovely Queen of the May, wend her way to the center of the stage to view the Sacrifice Dance. To hypnotic strains the Sacrifice Datncers, Wherrett, Reade, Bird, Wilson, J. Johnston, and Henderson in swaying gowns of royal purple, bore their trays of offerings to the alter.

Then, following the song of the flame by the Glee Clubs, the Fire Dancers bearing torches and flame, like scarfs prepared to burn the sac-

jrifice to the Gods. These dancers | were: Sullivan, M. Warren, Hyde, E.i , Peterson, W. Smith, Kearney, Farin- holt, Dutrow, Duke, Peyton, and Burnette. Falling before the altar they remained prostrate until the Queen and High Preistess of the Alter Fire rekindled the flame by her majic power. Then the dancers received their lighted torches and withdrew in various directions carrying fire to the four ends of the earth.

At the beginning May Day was introduced by the Night Dancers who crept upon the stage with reluctant feet wearing garments of mid-night blue and carrying a full silver moon. The Night Dancers were ; Wherrett, Reade, W. Smith, Plank and Carson.

Afterwards the little gnomes, min- ious of the night, in frocks of wood-

FIRST ASSEMBLY HELD IN WILSON WEDNESDAY

LONDON, The ignorance of educated Americans about Abraham Lin- coln in astounding, declared Profes- ror Edwin Sisson of Reed College, Portland, Ore., in a lecture on "Lin- coln's Lost Causes" at University College today at which Ambassador Dawes presided.

It was not until two Englishmen wrote interpretive lives of Lincoln that interpretive lives were written by Americans, said Professor Sisson, and the only play about Lincoln was the work of an Englishman, John Drinkwater.

"The great Lincoln play is still to be written," he asserted. "I have been urging friends of mine who are in- terested in literature and the drama to write the great Lincoln drama."

Professor Sisson called Edgar Lee Masters's recent book a contemptuous attack on Lincoln, but a very important book because Lincoln had general-

"THE SCRATCH PAD" IS WORK OF SCRIBBLERS

WILL APPEAR SOON

"The Scratch Pad" is the new name of an unusual book which has just gone to press. This book is unusual, because it is the first of its kind to be published at H. T. C. This little book, which will have only forty- eight pages, is being put out by the Scribblers, and includes essays, poems, and stories, representative of the work of all the Scribblers now on campus and some alumnae who were Scribblers.

A committee composed of Scrib- blers and faculty advisers selected the material to be used and got the book in shape for the publishers.

The proceeds from the lectures on Venice by Dr. Sawhill which the Scribblers sponsored went to help in the publishing of the "Scratch Pad." The book will sell for fifty cents, and will appear at an early date.

Much craning of necks and gasps of awe and admiration from the student body ensued at assembly period which was held for the first time in Wilson Hall on Wednesday morning. As this was the first time that most of the students had seen the magni- ficant auditorium delight was bound- less.

After President S. P. Duke and several members of the faculty had made anouncements concerning May 15. The curtains were drawn to show the students how the auditorium would look at night.

"Oh'f" and "Ah's" of admiration went forth from the audience as Mr. Trowbaugh flashed the various lights on the stage. The lighting system is superb and almost any effect can be obtained. Next, the curtain which was designed by Lois Hines, and the other stage hangings were shown.

The first gathering in Woodrow Wilson Hall closed by the student body singing a stanza from Praise to God, Immortal Praite, and Old Vir- ginia.

"WHAT'S IN A NAME?"

Of all the hearts full of pride today, certainly no hearts could be fuller than those of our faculty and student body as they gaze with upturned faces to admire the wonderful and magnificent building which, years ago, was only a dream.

As great as the building, was the man in whose honor it has been named. As it towers above the other buildings so he towered above the men around him, as it holds within it all the beautiful and best, s0 he held in his heart all the beautiful and best; as it stands there a symbol of higher things, so his life stands to us today as a inspiration and guide to higher things.

It was not without purpose that the name Woodrow Wilson Hall was given to our newest and finest buildings. Each time we think of it in all of its stately grandeur, let us recall the great character whose life it sym- bolizes and say Wilson Hall instead of "the new building." We must rem- member that it has been named and that such a beautiful building deserves to be called by its rightful name.

WOODROW WILSON HALL

At a recent concert someone over- heard two girl arguing as to whether the piece being played was Beetho- ven's "3onata" or "Poet and Peasant Overture." He got up and strolled over to a sign near the stage. Com- ing back he said, "Pardon me, but you are both wrong. That is the "Re- frain from Spitting."

Ann Moore: "Your boy friend dances like a poem."

Alma Bean: "Really?" Ann Moore: "Yes—like free verse

—the feet all mixed up."

Dr. Pickett: "What is HC1?" Harriet Pearson: "Oh, I have it on

the end of my tongue—wait a min- ute."

Dr. Pickett: "Well you'd better get rid of it. It's hydrochloric acid and poison."

Home economics teachers in the field now see the need of keeping up not only in subject matter but also in present tendencies in curriculum structure aqfejn methods of teaching. Teachers n>ust be prepared to put in uni$s on the newer phases of home economics such as Social and Family Relationships, and Child Care, and to direct Home Projects.

The Home Economics Department is meeting this need by offering eachj term of the summer school a number of courses which will appeal to tea-, chers on the job as well as to advanc- ed students who are working on their I degrees.

The course in Social and Family Relationships deals^with relationships within the family group and relationships between the home and society. It includes a brief survey of the devel- opment of the family as a social unit, and the psychological, social,! and economic problems arising in the! modern family.

Two courses have been planned for I teachers in the Vocational Schools.! The course on the Cottage Plan and Home Projects is offered to further prepare teacher! in service to or- ganize work on this basis and to use and supervise home projects. The other courre is designed to help teachers work out country-wide pro- grams of Vocational Home Econom-. ics. Study will be made of problems' related specifically t0 the survey of community needs.

SPRING DELIGHT The world is so full of loveliness this

spring, all poplars, blossoms, cottage roofs,

And birds and dark green firs And insect hums and grass mower's

whirr; , Cloud shadows on the pasture hills; Hopscotch plans and marble rings; Clean starched colored clothes Rows of furrows newly-made The damp rich earth in reds and

browns; Dew glints in the tender grass; The smell of rain, of glowing sun Promise, beauty, mistiness; I have to sing aloud The dull, drab people stare at me Poor dear, doddering quiet folk They go blindly through the world.

RATING THE FACULTY

Dreams do come true! We have proof of that. Woodrow Wilson Hall, was for many years a fleeting vision which only great faith and hard work j have turned into a bright reality. We are fortunate in having added to the campus this splendid structure which at once commands the admiration' of all and at the same time inspires in us a loftiest thoughts and noblest ef- • forts. Is it a wonder that we are proud? When wrapped in our pride, how- ever, let us not forget that it was only through the generosity of the leaders of Virginia supported by the people of our <tate that it* erection was made possible. We are grateful to them for their interest and trust in us.

Wilson Hall is our building, not only as the present students and future alumnae of H. T. C, but also, as citizens of Virginia. Just as you would love and take care of a personal possession so let everyone cooperate in keeping the freshness and newness of Wilson Hall intact, for marred beauty is more to be lamented than original ugliness.

Father: "Are there half-fares' for children?"

Conductor: "Yes, under fourteen." Father: "That's all right. I've only

five."

PAIN Like a skeleton tree in winter Sharp etched against a leaden sky, So stark is pain across the greyness

of our lives When death comes by.

Mrs. Moody: "This meat has such a peculiar taste."

Irma Orange: "That'si funny; I burnt it and then put Ungentine on it right away."

THE STUDENT MOOCHER

Alice: "How many students are there at your college?" Geoffrey: "Oh about one in every ten."

The worst of the race of human parasites is the student moocher. He is the sugar-coated specimen of humanity who awaits his chance to beg his conscientious classmate for his lecture notes, term papers, and "lab" results.

The moocher is adept in concocting excuses for failure of preparation. As a rule, he bad so much more work t0 do than anyone else that it really

is not his fault that he must moojh his notes or experiments." He just ha= not had time to get them (but he is an authority on the movies and often reads movie magazines on the side).

In panic the night before "exams" he runs to the despised book-worm (poor worm) and pleads with tears in his eyes for a chance to see the other's notes To climax the incident the moocher goes to class the next day with L*ay Luck, takes the quiz, and makes a better score than his aide "

REGENERATION

I'd thought to sing a final song Til dawn awoke in rose array, And called another forth from out My heart, ere it was bursting day. I'd thought to close my eyes to love 'Til you bedazzled them anew

With silver joy spilled from your soul 111 live again for you.

EVENING Below the gorgeous plumes of twlight

—red and pink and orange— Below the purple mountains

smoothly scalloped A sordid world turns on it lights-

dim reflections of the heavens. Then slowly, silently the colors fade

The sky is black. But the tiny, brace lights shine on— Angels have hopes as well as men.

The following article was cut from the Richmond Times Dispatch.

For generations college i^utients have calmly submitted to the faculty habit of giving psychological and so- mental and muscular processes, intel- cial examinations. Tests designed to show general information, speed of ligence quotients, social adaptability, mental ability without sleep, etc., etc., are periodically foisted upon long suffering undergraduates and the results duly published in the news- papers and the learned journals.

Students at Columbia College have recently turned the tables on their instructors and. submitted counter- examinations tending to show something about the nature and disposi- tions of the learned.

A general information test taken several months agx) by the faculty of that college disclosed the fact that the instructors are as ignorant of things best known to students as students are of the things best known to instructors. Not one of the Columbia educators passed the student test.

Now the Columbia undergradutes have again rated the faculty.' Fol- lowing President Butler's assertion that the Columbia instjuctors are the "greatest single group of scholars ever gathered together in the history of higher education," the student daily asked 1,279 undergraduates to state their opinions of the qualifica- tions, of 139 instructors.

All were marked as qualified to teach; but all were not equally ac- ceptable. As many as 114 were rated "good"; twenty-one were considered j "mediocre" and five were called! "poor." The chemistry department) produced eight instructors described as "bores;" whereas, the history group came through without a single man being labeled "dull" 0r "ped- antic."

The final results indicated that Co- lumbia College has a faculty which is approved highly by the students. The majority of the teachers are interesting, scholarly, approachable and i sympathetic.

This sort of examination on the part of students strikes us as being a pretty good thing. The average professor either never knew or has for-

A PRAYER Dedicated to Daddy

Dear Lord, to me there is one so dear A soul whose life with Thee is ever

near, On him, I pray, let all Thy blessings

fall, He means to me my life, my best,

my all.

For thy watchful care of him, I en- treat

The strength and will to earn our daily meat.

And more than this, I beg in my prayer,

The courage to bear all trouble and care.

To him I wish thy treasurers be given Not for himself, but for others' he's

striven. And, as from me his worries be would

hide Make mine the task tofill his heart

with pride.

Let him know that I daily try to be, The sweet unselfish one he's been to

me. To him the best of all things good

belong, But oh, dear Lord, do keep him well and strong.

"May I have a few minutes for an interview?" I asked Miss Kathryn Bolton.

"Why, certainly," she replied very pleasantly.

"What is the school teacher's opportunity for matrimony?" I chal- lenged.

"What?" she exclaimed in startled (Surprise, then leaned back in her ! chair and laughed.

I "The school teacher," she began, has every opportunity to meet inter-

1 esting men including single princi- j pals, chairmen of school boards, other I male instructors, superintendents, , and widowers with children. Jt real- i ly is remarkable how much a teach- , er learns about children which would . qualify her for the duties of parent- hood.

"Were you taking that seriously?" she queried, her merry blue eyes twinkling all the while.

"Yes, but do you think a teacher should go with the principal?"

"Of course, there should be no "courting" during school hours, but why shouldn't teachers go with the

I principal?"

She continued by saying that tea- [ chers frequently select educated men, and that other men are often too self-conrcious in the presence of a

i teacher. Als0 the teacher has a longer vacation and longer week-ends than the business girl, giving her a better opportunity to meet charming people, especially unattached males. Sometimes the teacher is the most de- sirable girl in the community, and men will vie with each other to «nn her favor. The sisters and mothers will try to make a match between the teacher and the pride of the family."

"What is your opinion of men?" I next inquired.

"Well, well, you certainly are per- sistent, aren't you? That is about the worst question I ever had popped at me. I haven't thought seriously on the subject, but I feel that men as a class are conceited, hold an exalted opinion of their ability, are congenial companions if they do not have too ferious intentions in courtship, but are necessary to the happiness of some girls."

"Does teaching in one place for three years and not getting a man mean that your chances are slim?"

"Not by any means," she cheerfully responded. As she picked up some papers to grade, I considered the interview ended and departed with many thanks for such satisfying information.

SONNET The sun and moon and stars and

clouds And all that was and is to be Are covered o'er with cold grey mist; It feems as tho' eternity Were weary of its very life, And bowing to a greater might Lies lowly fallen in the strife; And all of love and faith and hope Are sunken in obscurity; And I am just a dreamer's craft A drift upon an endless sea.

breeze; And then in tears, I knew I could for-

The speaker lamented that what he regarded as Lincoln's greatest State paper was almost unknown—his second annual message to Congress in December, 1862. "It is one of the greatest classics in all our history, deserving a place in all our schools, yet is practically ignored," he declared. "That is the way with schools. Mine taught me trivial nonsense, leaving out all the really important things."

The greatest compliment he can pay to a member of the less se- ductive human species is to lavish something of the affection he feels for the inhabitants of the zoo upon his benighted carcass. And luckily for these who regard Mr. Wodehouse's farces as a blend of the honey of Hy- bia and the milk of paradise, he has found several human being who near- ly aproached Peter the Great, Walter and Volt n spiritual stature to serve as protagonists of Fish Preferred, a book that is Wodehouse at his droll best.

All of these protagonists have, of course, slightly added mentalities. If they were as intelligent as, say, a good-sized kangaroo they would crash Mr. Wodehouse's intricate plot into China fragments. But for all their opacity and density of the cer- ebettum, they have hearts of gold and Mr. Wodehouse feels himself justifield in treating them as Al Smith used to treat his Albany men- agerie. Young Ronnie Fish is headed by Mr. Wodehouse for the altar with a very nice, and not all typical, chorus girl; Hugo Carmody gains the hard of his beloved heiress; the Hon. Gal- ahad Threepwood decided not to pub- lish his reminiscences; Clarence, Lord Ernsworth has his prize porker, the Empress of Blandings, restored to him; and Beach, blood-brother to Jeeves of ancient wodehouse fame, is still present at the ancestral castle when the smoke has died away and the peace conference is a thing of the past.

This highly salubrious state of af- fairs is only brought about after much Wodehouse wrangling of the pribabilitie3. Each step in the plit depends furiously upon, another step; the mistaken identities are dugged in by the ear; a pig is stolen; a pri- vate detective has a yen for Sue Brown, alias Miss Schoolmaken; this same Sue Brown will go dancing when her fiance, the jealous Ronnie Fish, has commanded her to sit at home

one.

Mrs. Viola Smith Buell, a former member of the English department of the School of Education, died Friday, March 29, at the age of 77.

MVs. Buell, who was a teacher in Cleveland public schools for 40 years, began her teaching career in a country school house at the age of 14. Two years later she entered Western Reserve University. She was graduat- ed in 1876 with the distinction of being the first woman to receive a diploma from the University.

In 1916 she became a member of the faculty where she served in the English department.

After her retirement at the age of 65, Mrs. Buell was active in college and teachers' organizations, including the American Association of Univer- city Women, the College Club and the Cornell Club.

THE GLORY OF THE FATHERS The twin sons of Lawrence Tibbet,

who is soon to appear here in person with the Metropolitan Opera Com- pany, go to school in Beverly Hills. Wouldn't it be lucky for the young- sters if they had a hero-worshipping teacher who would promise them un- conditional "A"s if only they would get her an autographed picture of their marvellous dad?

Portsmouth, Va. Only close friends and relatives

witnessed the ceremony. Afterwards a reception was given the bridal party at the home of the bridegroom's parents.

Mr. and Mrs. Harrell left on the Old Bay Line for Baltimore. They will also visit New York and Wash- ington. Mr. and Mrs. Harrell will be at home at 1108 Jacgson street after May 15, 1931.

Mrs. Harrell received her two-year certificate at H. T. C. in '29.

The engagement of Mary Rhodes Lineweaver, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Walter T. Lineweaver, of Har- risonburg, Va., to Willoughby New- ton Brown, of Winston Salen, N. C. has been announced.

Mary Rhodes was a member of the class of '28.

BOOK REVIEW (Continued from Page 3)

when he is out of town; and Hugo Carmody will engage in an occasional binge—as he likes to call a liquor- ful evening.

It is Ronnie wh0 has stolen the pig. He has turned varlet in order to be ready with the hero role at the proper moment. One of his rare ideas is that a restored pig will so please Clarence Lord Ernsworth as to in- sure consent for his marriage to the lady of the chorus. But it is Hugo who restores the pig—much to the ex- hilration of Millicent, heiress, to the Lord Ernsworth Shropshire natal heath.

Of course, there are certain foils for all virtue in the protagonists of Fish Preferred. Prime among them Baxter, the efficient Lady Constance Keeble, who could dissolve on with a glance, is second only to Baxter. P. Frobisher Pillham brings up the rear and a very good and darksome job he does of it, too. It would seem that P. G. Wodehouse is wont to expend all the bottled-up rage at missed birdies and pass- 0"

to nis villans. He makes a beautiful business of getting his humors in the right and proper directoins.

The cards are dealt and the four face each other with drawn expres- sions. Thre are no guns on their hips or knives up their sleeves. A signal is being tapped out when suddenly the lights go out and a short silence begins. Then from a corner a light flickers and a great sigh is uttered. A sigh of relief. Without this most beloved candle the plot would have been hopeless, and four little soror- ity girlies could not have had their friendly bridge party.
