Excerpt from Meredith College, Quarterly Bulletin: Alumnae Number, 1939-1940 For the cordiality shown me during these first days, I am most grateful - especially as it is indicative not so much of my desert as of your generosity. I esteem it a privilege to be associated with those who love. And serve Meredith College, and trust that we shall strive, intelligently and effectively, to make the institution indeed an Alma Mater to all who live within its hallowed walls. To you who enter Meredith for the first time, I extend the greetings of one who hopes to qualify as a fellow student; who, in a sentiment which he believes appropriate here, with you wishes to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire in his temple.

Excerpt from Meredith College Quarterly Bulletin 1927-30 It was a happy suggestion made by Miss Porter of the Meredith Faculty that this issue of the Bulletin be devoted to the alumna who have gone as missionaries to foreign fields. Each of the missionaries was requested to write an article concerning her work. Meredith College has sent to foreign fields a total of nine teen of her alumna. A few of these have had to give up the work because of failing health, others are now at home on furlough, and still others have recently volunteered, but the Foreign Mission Board, for lack of funds, has not been able to send them. Meredith College is represented in seven foreign countries by these consecrated missionaries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Meredith College: Quarterly Bulletin, 1921-22 The preparation in English that the freshmen in North Carolina have had, is not, so far as I can judge from teaching in those states, inferior to that of freshmen in Ohio, Louisiana, or Georgia. Their deficiencies are not the same as those of students in other states, but they are no greater in number. When I decided to return to North Carolina I had a letter relative to the work here saying, 'i hope you will not be surprised or disappointed in the preparation of our students.' It seems to me that one cannot remain long in the teaching profession, and continue to be surprised at what students don't know. I have had seniors who apparently had no recollection of what they had been most painstakingly taught as freshmen, or even as juniors. So, if you hear that your high-school graduates, upon arriving at college, retain not the faintest notion about the difference between a sentence and a phrase, I hope you will not be surprised. A course in English may perform three services for the student: it may offer him inspiration; it may supply him with subject-matter; and it may teach him the practice of form. It is with regard to the operation of these functions in high-school that I wish to examine the preparation of the freshman. Though it is necessary to treat them separately, these functions do not operate ideally except in conjunction.

Excerpt from Meredith College Quarterly Bulletin, Vol. 2: Founder's Day Number; February, 1937 \thc habits of a minister firmly fixed and a subject that runs so nearly on parallel lines with a minister's regular work, I trust that'i may be pardoned should there seem to be in my effort today too much preaching within theological confines, and too little of that breadth of vision where education and Christianity are to be considered in happy combination. It would seem that argument is out of the question when considering this very important subject. And yet there are those who, while refusing to be convinced by argument, have grown indifferent to a movement which has never failed to bring up reinforcements for both education and Christianity. With the growing impression that prevails in many quarters to the effect that Christianity should remove itself from the educational field, many vital questions present themselves for consideration.

Excerpt from Meredith College: Quarterly Bulletin, 1909-1910 The completion of our first decade suggests that we take account of ourselves and see what has been accomplished or lost within this period For while comparisons may not always furnish satisfactory evidence of desirable present conditions, they may at least enable us to measure and grade progress or retrogression.
