Miss Lila London rei eived her B. S. degree from the George Peabody College in Nashville, Tenn . and her M. A. degree and teacher's diploma from the Teachers College of Columbia University. In 1903, she came to this college from a teaching position in the Salem High School as assistant in the mathematics department with references to supervising the teaching of arithmetic in the elementary school. In discussing the work. Miss London remarked that the e'ementary supervision work is still her major interest. Later, she was made head of the department of mathematics, the position which she holds at present. She has travelled extensively during her summer vacations, having visited Europe twice. As a member of the math department, she has also been very active in the committee work of the administration. In the fall of 1919. Miss Willie London came to Farmville as assistant in the department of English. Prior to this, she had taught In the high school in Roanoke and had also been connected with the Y. W. C. A., serving as secretary in the South Central Field during the first world war with headquarters in St. Louis, Mo. At the end of her first year In the college, she resigned to accept the secretaryship of the South Atlantic Field with headquarters In Richmond; however, she soon returned to Farmville as Y. W. C. A. student secretary and held this position for four years. After the establishment of the London home in Farmville, she returned to the faculty of this college as associate in the English department, the position she now holds. Miss London has served on various committees of the college, both academic and social, and she has also served as Continued on Page 4

H-S,STCToGive Founders Day Play Students To Raise Curtain at 8 P. M. j
Saturday night at 8:00 in the large auditorium, the S. T. C. Dramatics Club and the H.-S. Jongleurs will present their first combined production in four years, as a final part of the Founders Day program. The p!ay. "Outward Bound", is a serious drama in three acts, with an air of suspense to the plot which will hold the attention of the audience straight through to the last scene. All action takes place aboard a ship, of who's destination none of the passengers seem certain. Scenery for the play lends the definite atmosphere for the bar of the ship, and through the silvered port-holes and outer doors come glimpses of the outer deck and seascape beyond. Staging is being done under the supervision of Betty Bibb and Miss Wheeler. Accoiding to Miss Wheeler, director of the play, tickets for students will go on reserve in Mrs. Watkins' office Thursday morning, and each girl will be allowed to get her own ticket only. Three hundred and fifty seats have been reserved for the alumnae who are expected to return for the anniversary, and if any student should find she cannot attend the play she is asked to return her ticket at once to Mrs. Watkins, to Kitty Maddox, business manager of the club, or at the door of the auditorium. Announcement will be made later concerning the students' wearing formal dress, which is a lyceum number, according to Carlotta Norfleet, president of the Dramatics Club. Cast of the play includes Mary Ann Adams, Hugh Warren, Martha Frances Webb. Carlotta Norfleet. Dick Wiant. Frank Brook, Frank Blanton. Max Perrow, Bill Hart, and Bill DeHardit. In charge of costuming is Ann Shuff lebarger, lighting, Rose Ramsey, properties, Louise Harrell and make-up, Nancy Pitts.
firitratum On behalf of the student body, faculty, administration, and alumnae, we, the staff of the Rotunda, dedicate this Founders Day issue to Dr. Joseph L. Jarman. beloved president of this college for over forty-four years.

Much interest is being created this year by the reunion classes that are working for the Jarman Attendance Cup which is present'd to the class having the largest per cent of attendance at alumnae luncheon. There are two probable reasons for large attendance. The first reason is that it is Dr. Jarman's last year as active president, and the second that on'y a few were able to attend during the war because of transportation difficulties. No classes will be held on campus on Founder's Day. Saturday March 9. This will be the twentyfifth anniversary of the class of 192! and also the reunion for all the "Six" classes.

THE ROTUNDA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1946
We Dedicate This Issue On behalf of the student body, faculty, administration, and alumnae, we, the present staff of the Rotunda, dedicate this issue to the one above all others in this college who is loved, esteemed, and honored. Dr. Joseph L. Jarman. For over forty-four years, he has given of his talents, abilities, and interests to the furthering of education in Virginia. His influence has been felt throughout the entire country wherever Farmville daughters have carried the torch of learning- Thousands of students have passed through these halls of learning during the period Of his administration, and thousands of girls love and respect him for the life he gave and is giving to us and for the lofty Ideals which he chose as the pattern for his own life and for the life of "his girta." It is fitting that we, at this time, join hands with alumnae, the present student body, the faculty and administration, as well as with all educators throughout the State and nation in paying tribute to a life of outstanding service, to a man of unusual integrity, and to "the first gentleman of
Farmville." Doctor Jarman had visions for this college and he carried out his idea of scholarship, teacher education, and character, thus making our college one of the best of its kind in the country. For what Farmville State Teachers College is today, we owe a great deal to its president for almost half a century. There is consolation, however, in knowing that our beloved and revered president will remain in Farmville as an ever constant friend and companion to the students, serving in the capacity of president emeritus of this college. As one editorial writer stated it, "He is and will remain 'first among his peers'." Because we love you, Doctor Jarman, we dedicate this Founders Day issue of the Rotunda to you as a token of our appreciation of all that you have done and are doing to further education in the Commonwealth.
Welcome, Alumnae This wvek we at State Teachers College are welcoming our alumnae. We especially want to welcome the "Six" classes and the class of 1 *H» 1 which is celebrating its twenty-filth anniversary. It's good to have you back with us. Pounders Day for the past few years has been celebrated quite differently because of the war, but this year we are going to celebrate it in the spirit of years gone by. Daughters of this college from throughout Virginia and other states are returning to pay homage to their Alma Mater. There are daughters who are scattered all over the world and can not be with us on this occasion, but their hearts and minds will be turning to Farmville State Teachers College
