  • Stye (EulUmd|w fflM A Neighborly Call From The Hills To Kindred Spirits Everywhere CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA, MARCH, 1924 S1UDENT LOAN FUNDS SHOWING GREAT GROWTH Local Citizens Backing Movement; Special Masonic Loan Fund. One of the most significant movements in the history of Cullowhee was inaugurated at the 1923 commencement. We refer to the starting of a Student Loan Fund. At that time, the alumni and friends of Cullwohee, feeling that this School should not lag behind other schools in the State in the matter of aiding deserving students, unable to pay their way in school, raised a small , fund and pledged several hundred dollars more as a nucleus of a fund to be loaned to students. When Prof. Hunter assumed the presidency of the Cullowhee Normal, he was soon impressed by the many appeals from prospective students for some sort of assistance from the School, either in the way of loans or of opportunities to pay part expenses by work. Conferences of citizens, faculty members and friends generally were held. It was unanimously agreed that a large loan fund was one of the most urgent needs of the School. Accordingly, plans were perfected for a systematic campaign for funds. Beginning in Cullowhee, a motto of "One Hundred Per Cent Backing of the Loan Fund" was adopted. To date, not a single person has refused to contribute; and the amount already raised in the community amounts to about $600.00. It is hoped to make the local contributions not less than $1,000.00. Then the appeal will be carried to our friends beyond the local community. The names of our individual contributors to this fund will be published in a later issue of The Yodel. Another feature of the loan fund ■ must be mentioned. The Masonic Lodges of the United States have inaugurated an educational movement, having as its most distinctive feature the lending of money, through standard educational institutions, to deserving young men and women needing financial assistance. Recently, Cullowhee was put on the list of North Carolina institutions at which such funds would be placed; and President Hunter has received a check for $500.00, as the initial contribution from the Masons, the check being sent by A. B. Andrews, of Raleigh, representing the Education Committee of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina. H. E. Austin, of Greenville, Treasurer of the Knights Templars' Edu- CHURCHES UNITE IN WILSON MEMORIAL SERVICE PRESIDENT HUNTER SIGNALLY HONORED Appointed As One Of North Carolina Judges In National Prize Essay Contest. President Hunter has just been notified by Alexander Williams, Secretary of the American Chemical Society, New York City, of his recent appointment as a member of the committee to judge the papers in North Carolina in the National Prize Essay Contest, being conducted by the American Chemical Society. Other members on the committee with President Hunter are as lows: Prof. A. S. Wheeler, Un sity of North Carolina; M. L. Martin, Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company, Durham; Prof. E. V. Howell, Unr sity of North Carolina; Hon. Jose- phus Daniels, Raleigh; Dr. Robert L. Feltz, Durham; Mrs. T. D. Jones, Durham; Clarence Poe, Raleigh Gen. Albert Cox, Raleigh; J. Henry Highsmith, Raleigh; Earl B. Godby, Editor, Greensboro. cational Loan Fund in North Carolina, has also offered to assist worthy students, who should be recommended by the faculty of Cullowhee Normal. It is understood that the Commanderies of Asheville and Waynesville are also considering the matter of placing similar loan funds here. It is gratifying that Cullowhee is thus being so signally recognized by the friends of public education; and we are hoping that those who become beneficiaries of any or all of these funds shall, through lives of service to others, make the benefactors forever glad of having helped in this worthy cause. (Cont'd on page 3) On Sunday afternoon, February 17th, at 3:00 o'clock, a very fitting memorial service, in honor of the late Woodrow Wilson, was held in the Cullowhee Graded School Auditorium, under the auspices of the churches of the community. President Hunter, of the Normal School, presided, and the following program was effectively carried out: Scripture Reading, Rev. A. W. Lynch; Song, America, Audience; Prayer, Rev. W. F. West; Song, Or- ward, Christian Soldiers, Audience; Wilson as a Scholar and Writer, Prof. R. L. Madison; Solo, Lead, Kindly Light, Miss Virginia Davis; Ode to Wilson, Original, W. E. Bird; Wilson as a Statesman, E. H. Stillwell; Song, Day is Dying in the West, Audience. President Hunter read a tribute of his own production to a great teacher which peculiarly applied to the life of Wilson. The whole service wrought a deep impression upon the minds of the audience as the life of this great scholar, lawyer, teacher, writer, and statesman was reviewed. Prof. Still- well, in his tribute to this great character, said in part: "I have come to realize that I have been permitted to live in the age of America's greatest hero, statesman, benefactor." Prof. Madison, after presenting the life of Wilson as a man of letters, closed his address with the following apostrophe: "Immortal spirit of Wilson, teacher, historian, statesman, sage, patriot, prophet, crusader of freedom, martyr of wcrld peace, you are now in the keeping of God, of history, and of the grateful memory of mankind. "The sunset of your brief eventful day was obscured by the murky mists of misunderstanding and misrepresentation. Partisan prejudice and malicious envy darkened the sky with the sulphurous smoke of their maledictions. The sun of your glorious career went down bedimmed by clouds of gloom, leaving your fair high hopes unfulfilled and your golden dreams unrealized. But through the gathering shades of your twilight sky, there flashed Upon the gaze of mourning millions the evening star of world freedom and universal peace and shone resplendent with promise to a disordered and distracted world. (Cont'd on page 3) LYCEUM COURSE IS TO BE PRESENTED The last number of the Lyceum Course for this session will be presented by the Hendry Duo at the School Auditorium on Thursday evening, March 13th.

Judged by the opening of the spring quarter, Cullowhee is going to fulfil the expectations of its most ardent friends as to attendance this year. Beginning to come in, February 22nd, students continue to arrive. At the time this goes to press, the registration of new students exceeds thirty, and many others are expected. While the majority of those who are matriculating for the spring quarter are women — teachers who have been in charge of short-term schools over the State—there will be a number of men among the new registrants. A considerable extent of territory is represented in the new students, several coming from beyond the Blue Ridge. The Moore Dormitory, occupied by women students, will be filled to ca- (Cont'd on page 2) A LARGE CROWD ENJOYS SENIOR PLAY, THE WREN The Senior Play, entitled, The Wren, under the direction of Misses Virginia Davis and Alice Benton, was given in the School Auditorium, Saturday night, March 1st, before a large and responsive audience.
