PERMANENCE.
a
A group of girls i§ sitting on the.
steps of the Administration building.
The sun is setting in the distance and
the horizon Is a canvas streaked with
gold and -rose and blue and purple.
It sinks lower, an'd the colors change,
leaving a deeper l'osc^arid blue, which
seem to be lined, with gold. A few
minutes later and the sun is gone.
Now the sky is illuminated—molten
gold. Twilight comes and the shad-
ows deepen—soon the trees and the
buildings are painted gray—and quiet
reigns supreme on the old steps—to
await a new dawn.
To sit, ill the shadows, one wonders
if the sunset and its glorious colors
are permanent—if they are lasting?
Could anything so transient be per-
manent? Yes, we know that tomor-
row," and many another day, there will
iu< the sunset.—Ah ere will be more
rose an'd purpre and blue—and there
'will bo watchers on the steps again.
Outward appearances of evanescene
arc illusions—'there is permanence in
the transient. Thfi,„8pring dies—and

ter comes ■along and banishes both—
but the pring c<«nes again. The old
philosopher sits in his study, and all
at onee a flash of truth comes to his
•■mind—he is eh??ed-*for years he has
searched for £his little glimpse of a
Tiling which has suddenly come to
him. But the next day he sits again—
all about him tbere is darkness—he
can't see his way through a problem
- buX behind the shadows he believes
. there lies knowledge—and he waits
for the truth to come ag&in. There is
something permanent in his search,
Two people meet—there is a response
of one soul for another—men call it
love - It is an adventure—there is the
element of chance—but there is some-
thing permanent, involved—something
that men spend tffeir lives for, and
something that women are willing to
die for. There is something'in the
mystic po^ver of love which reveals
in the one loved the beauty of all hu-
manity—a permancnce . greater than
all the chaos, y „

Hargrove first, set foot on the cam-

institution as the lights and shadows
revealed it to her, she set her bags1,
down and cried out, "O God, it is too
big. I can not do it. You will have to
do it." In that spirit she lived for
Iter- nine years in the college as pro-

tion.
Thirty years serving as a teacher

guide and which she presented to h® kstated mj. Bishop,
pupils.
She gave unstintedly of time,

delight was to know that the girls
went out from college as daughters

lationship between all forms of art."

the promise also will advise tn; n,
that the directors do not think it ae
visable to put on a campaign / ?■
$.100,000, as an endowment for th*
college, before October.
"The committee, appointed by I're..
dent Walter Scott, is composed o:
Tom Poynor, J.ames M. North, Jr,
Ernest Alexander and A. J. Duncan
''The action was the result of a ee
ference * of « chamber directors and
school trustees three weeks ago.
"The committee will see if thi.< ■
gestion is acceptable to the coll.;."
and if'fco will raise the $50,000.
"There^bre t^ow '500 pupils in the
school, and with an endowment thf •
attendance could be raised to more
than 1,000, the director* were told.

New Loan.
T. W. C. originally had a mortgage
of $160,000 from the Misalssppi Vallev
Trust Company, but enough of the
interest and principal had been paid
to reduce this to $85,000.
Tbrotigh the efforts of these three
men the loan was again increased to
$150,000, and the $65,000 will be
available at once to meet all bills.
Scott said.
"The loan is a ten-year loan at 6
per cent.
''The Chamber of Commerce and
T. W. C. directors will now put all
their efforts into a $500,000 endow-
ment flihd campaign for the school
in October.
"With this endowment" the school
may become a member -of the South-
ern Association of Colleges,
"Chamber of Commerce directors
had formerly voted to underwrite Sn
emergency fund campaign of $50,000
for the school this spring."
, With this encouragement plans are
being resumq^'for finishing the, ex
student campaign. The amount to be
raised is $50,000, of which $12,000
more is needed. The following, ^sdio
