Let's All Work Together On March ii. State Teachers College will ,,i,.., ., Pounders Day -an annual custom for more than 2."> years. Lasl year, bad weather was responsible i,,i ii disappointingly small attendance. Tin- year, granted fair skies, there should be several hundred former student* on hand and all of us will give them a hearty welcome. Nn college has a finer nor more loyal p of alumnae than State Teachers ColI,.., They mean much to the college now. will mean more in the future, and the college means a greal deal to them. We tnusl make Founders Day a real home-coming in everj i of the word. Pounders Day is a time for the reunion of alumnae with all the joys thai accompany seeing old friends and classmates and talking aboul former college experiences. (in Founders Hay. there will be a program of entertainment including a luncheon, a dinner and a special performance of the Dramatic Club's spring play. Founders Day may be likened to the annual business meeting of the stockholders ,,! „ corporation. All the people of Virgini-la
are stockholders in state Teachers College. Alumnae may be called Preferred stockholders. They have a special interest in the success of the enterprise. Doing something for a cause that i- bigger than oneself is always inspiring. No more important task Virginia to.lay than the education of young women as teachers and home makers. And -non Founders Day 1948,the alumnae and students of State Teachers College will assemble for a meeting of Preferred Stockholders with the directors of the corporation to hear reports on the accomplishments of the pas! year and to plan for the yea*" ahead. It is the hope of all of us thai greal pro gress will be made towards the goal of *-•">. 000.00 f or the Jarmai i n in Fund, and that we may lay plans for strengthening the w irk of the college and extending its influence throughout the Commonwealth. May we all work together to make March 6a memorable date in thi history of Farmvi1le. Dr. Dabney 8. Lancaster Guest Editorial Writer
Why Founders Day?V Founders Day is an annual celebration at State Teachers College, but do we know
why it is observed? Why do the alumnae return each year to join with others in honoring our college? In other words, do we, the future alumnae, realize the significance of Founders Day'.' state Teachers College represents the accumulation Of educational efforts of more than a hundred year-. The progresl of the State and the school system has been reflected in its growth, and through the .ear- the primary purpose of educating well-prepared teachers has been its theme. On March 7. 1884, a bill was passed in
the Virginia General Assembly which provided for a teacher-training institution at Farmville. Founders Day. recognizing this
