On Saturday afternoon, November 15. the passing of Dr. Joseph L. Jarman marked the end of a magnificent life and brought to the entire student body the realization of its great loss. A friend of generations of students was gone. Dr. Jarman was many things to us: an educator, administrator, counsellor, and friend. Not a student who attended Farm* villa daring the years whan he served so well escaped his influence. His was a wise and noble life that made the students and faculty love him. We shall never forget his love for red roses, his love of music, and above all his love for "his girls". The thousands of students who attended this institution during his administration share in a rich experience that has made them better citizens because his life touched theirs. Dr. Jarman's name is synonomous with that of State Teachers College Assuming

Support Choral Croups "Give praise where praise is due" is a famous Quotation. It is a fine code by which to live, but one which many of us fail to remember. Many organizations function on our campus propelled ever foreward by a small group of students who never receive adequate thanks. Such are the S. T. C. Choir and Choral Club—groups of our girls representing a cross-section of the student body. These girls meet with their challenging director at least twice B week, contributing both their time and their talents toward a finished performance of which the entire college may be justly proud. During preparations for special concerts and programs the girls work ove'-time seldom complaining. The 'rips the girls have made recently have included many rewarding moments— moments of great happiness, but the girls have missed work and sleep, both of which are difficult to make up on such an active campus as ours. Every member of every group is aware of the fact that she gets from the groups only wh'it she contributes toward it. Each girl on campua also knows that "a choir is

Tributes have been paid to Dr. Jarman from so many sources that we feel inadequate to add any more; still that which we feel in our hearts is also a tribute to him. We who were here under his administration admired and loved him, and you who came after his resignation felt his influence and sang "What's the matter with Jarman" with us with matching enthusiasm. Dr. Jarman will be remembered in the state for his fine and loyal service, but in the hearts of "his girls" there are more familiar remembrances: the red rose bud he wore in nil lapel, and the way he called us "young ladies"; his favorite hymns that we sang in chapel and the way he read the 13th chapter of Co>inthians at the opening exercises. We'll long remember that he customarily sang "Keep On Hoping" to the outgoing seniors, and the little ceremony we made of gi\ [rig him a birthday rose and serenading him. These are the things we remember when we think of Dr. Jarman, and his profound influence has made its mark on us to endure forever. The lyceum program Monday night was a record occasion in that it was attended as college-sponsored events should be, and that it marked the beginning of a new plan by which we will have fewer and better known artists. Mac Morgan was well liked from the beginning, and seems to have shot the fallacious notion that all concert artists are stuffy to practical non-existence. Not to make a molehill of La Montaine, he was I xi .llent ; several people, who are in a position to know, even said that he surpassed Morgan as to musicianship. At any rate our thanks to the administration for securing them. We are looking forward to the next lyceum program.
Letter To Editor Dear Editor: In regard to your letter of November 12, concerning the meals In the dining hall, we wish to challenge some of the statistics stated. Before giving our argument we wish to say that we intend no reflection upon our dietician and her efforts. The meal analyzed in your letter was a typical Sunday dinner at S. T. C. Sunday dinner is definitely the best meal of the week, and it Is true that it may have been a good one—but why use that for an example when the meals during the week are inadequate? After taking an overall view of the menus from day to day, we have found that each student can get an adequate number of calories 12,000-2,500 or more per day). Careful study, however, shows a definite deficiency in Vitamin C. "Girls of our age require a daily intake of 60 to 75 milligrams in order to maintain a fairly satisfactory amount of ascorbic-acid (Vitamin C> in the blood plasma—" In today's i Wednesday, November^, menu), we find for breakfast: puffed rice, bacon and apples, bread and butter, and milk and coffee; for lunch: macaroni and cheesei a very little cheese), beans or cooked cabbage, grape jelly, rolls and butter, milk, and pears; for dinner: pork chops, mashed potatoes, applesauce, sliced bread, butter, milk and coffee, and Jello with whipped cream To you this menu may seem adequate, but generally speaking, does the food on each table feed ten girls? Furthermore, some tables had beans and macaroni at lunch while others had macaroni Continued on Page 3
Thanksgiving Approaches
Tribute to Dr. J. L. Jarman Where are you going Qreal Heart? To life Today above the Past: To make To-morrow sure and fast; To nail God's colors to the mast Then God go with you. Great Heart! This week our college community lives under the shadow of the passing of Dr. Joseph L. Jarman. for forty-four years president of Farmville'. Since his retirement on June 30, a year ago, Doctor Jarman had been confined to his home by the illness that claimed him in death last Saturday—just four days before his eightieth birthday. He was therefore virtually unknown to our freshman and sophomores. I mi certain that they must wonder what manner of man he was who ~ould evoke such demonstrations of unfeigned devotion from all who came under his Influence. Doctor Jarman labored long for our college, and well. His administration was longer than the combined tenures of his three predecessors. In 1902, he found at Farmville a few unattractive buildings on a small city block in the heart of the town These he expertly weaved into the gracious campus that we now enjoy. Along with material progress he advanced the standing of the Institution to the commanding position that it occupies today. These achievements alone would suffice to assure Doctor Jarman's reputation as an administrator. They could not, however, ensure him the abiding place that he occupies in the hearts of the thousands of students that have gone out from Farmville, nor account for his long standing as the first citizen of the community and as the grand old man of Virginia Education. Such evidences of respect stem from more subtle sources, the very sources that make for greatness. If simplicity without brilliance and genuineness without genius be greatness, then Doctor Jarman was a great man. He left no learned volume to ensure a spurious immortality; he was not renowned for famous addresses; you will find no witty sayings of his. His life was simple but not austere. Almost his only indulgence was his cigar which came to be as much a part of himself as his cane which he neither used nor flaunted. The lessons that he learned in childhood, both formal and from hard experience, never forsook him, so that his attitude toward life never swerved despite the changing tempo of the times. The lessons stood him in good stead because from them Issued those simple commonplace virtues which marked him the kindly gentleman. Doctor Jarman's one shortcoming was the source of his chief strength, namely, his great heart. Because of it he was sometimes imposed upon, and he knew it. But he did not consider himself the loser thereby, because girls in trouble were attracted to him as Iron to a lodestone, and through the years 'old girls' returned again and again to remind him of favors forgotten and to extend gratitude. When students did not come to him, he sought them. The sound of marching feet In the hallways at the change of classes was excuse enough for him to leave his desk, stand benignly in the hallway, blocking traffic while he "visited" with them informally in small groups. His girls responded with vigor to his friendly overtures. Every Institution as it grows in years comes to have a hall mark that is stamped uoon its graduates. If, after twenty years of association with Doctor Jarman, I could epitomize what he strove to have as the hall mark of Farmville girls, I should say it was "The Art of Fine Living". He challenged staff to teach and students to achieve the joy and beauty of a rightly ordered life. By precept and by example he led the way. The welter of educational Jargon that he was obliged to listen to left him unruffled. His concepts of religion were unaffected by theological innovations and disputes His ■ standards of right and wrong were never watered down. Therefore, while his chapel talks, which were frequent, were more homely than homily, the humblest Continued on Page 2

LETTER TO EDITOR
Continued from Page 2
Continued from Page 2 and cabbage. Where were the girls going to get any Vitamin C if they had no cabbage? Those receiving cabbage did not meet even the minimum requirement. An average serving of cooked cabbage, fried apples, applesauce and one small pear gives only 24 milligrams of Vitamin C which is approximately 1-3 of the day's reqquirement. A review of yesterday's menus will show that Vitamin C requirement was lacking from 1-4 to 1-2. To us this means that we need more raw and canned citrus fruits and juices because they are among ov chief sources of Vitamin C. We realize that fruits are high. However, I think we speak for each girl when we say we would be willing to have less starchy foods and more fresh fruits and vegetables. During our analysis, we believe that with the exception of Vitamin C and Iron, other vitamins and minerals will, on the whole, meet the minimum requirements, if each girl will get and eat an average serving of each food. Now. back to your letter, perhaps you may help us clarify a few questions. Were the potatoes peeled and cooked before weighing? Was the weight of the chicken estimated by live weight as they were bought? iA chicken loses approximately one-half pound when dressed.> Did your serving of 6 ounces include the bone? In concluding, you state that the volume is adequate. Does this mean that the food nutrients are adequate? A diet of adequate volume (calories' and one furnishing adequate nourishment have different meanings. Interested Too
freshman knew what he was driving at. Generation after generation of students listened to him intone from the twelfth chapter of First Corinthians: 'Without love I am become as sounding brass or tinkling cymbal"; they heard him sing: "Be the Best of Whatever you are"; they followed his advice: "I want you to look your prettiest tonight"; they suffered his censure because it was usually deserved and always tempered with his famous smile. Whatever the occasion his "girls" were liable to burst forth with "What's the Matter With Jarman?" What it was that generated it I do not know, but that intangible something that we call the "Parmvllle Spirit' was Jarman's greatest contribution. It Is today our most priceless asset, and we lose it at our peril. Every institution and every individual is seeking an answer to the ancient question of Job: "Where is the way where light dwelleth?" More than anyone else that has been associated with State Teachers College. Doctor Jarman sought to find an answer to that question and he strove to have young people seek the answer. More than anyone else he helped to give substance to Ideals, to give soul to body. The measure of his success can be guaged by what our college is today and what it is capable of becoming. "His life was gentle, and the elements So mix'd in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, "This was a man!" GEORGE W. JEFFERS

Russell States College Fees Rise Student fees have increased to such an extent that many IntelActually capable young people are unable to attend college, according to Dr. John Dale Russell, Director of the Division of Higher Education.

Stone Jewelry iMeet the Faculty | Makes Come-Back Dr. J. P. Wynne, our Director of Teacher Education and Head of the Department of Education and Philosophy is a real teacher of teachers, as the many students who've studied under him will readily verify. It was at Duke in his native North Carolina that Dr. Wynne received his A. B. and A. M. degrees. For his Ph. D. he traveled north to Columbia. A college professor from way back. Dr. Wynne taught in the north, south, east, and west before coming to S. T. C. in '24. Among the colleges at which he's 'professed" are: Mississippi A. and M., Millsaps College, George Washington University, the University of West Virginia, the U. of Illinois the University of Idaho, Harvard and Ohio University. Right now his teaching extension classes for the University of Virginia at Lynchburg. It's a well known fact that Dr. Wynne has authorized quite a long string of books dealing with methods, educational philosophy, and educational and general psychology. His latest work is The Philosophies of Education. This topic, he states, Is the one he likes best in his field. Dr. Wynne holds membership in "Ninety-Ninetten", Phi Delta Kappa, Kappa Delta Pi, the Virginia Education Association, the National Education Association, the Philosophy of Education Society, the Rotary Club, and he heads the Farmville Teachers Association. Two committee chairmanships which he holds are those of the National Committee of the Philosophy of Education Society, and the Professional Standards Committee of Virginia Education Around S. T. C. Dr. Wynne sponsors the Philosophy Club and serves as chairman of the Summer School Committee, the Cataloc Committee, and the Planning Committee. On the recreational side Dr. Wynne goes in for Softball, being a former member of the Farmville League. We hear tell, too, that he used to be quite a semi-pro baseball pitcher. Dr. Wynne tells us that hunting would rate higher on his sports list if it didn't involve so much climbing through barbed wire fences. Another of his indulgences is vegetable gardening. With the very likeable, capable, and untiring Dr. Wynne teaching us to teach, our profession can't fail to reach the new heights toward which we're striving.

"More and more," Dr. Russell said, "this trend will limit college education to children of higherincome families—a counter-democratic tendency." These outstanding developments were apparent. Dr. Russell disclosed, from a recent Office of Education survey conducted at the request of the President's Commission on Higher Education: 1. Student fees, which in previous years have paid about a third of the total annual expense bill of the colleges, now provide for more than half of the total annual college educational expenditures. Of this amount, collected as student fees during the current fiscal year, the Federal Government paid more than half, or over $300000,000. According to Dr. Russell, the colleges have become increasingly dependent upon student fees as their chief flexible source of in-' come to meet rapidly increslng eOJtl of providing higher education. Costs have increased because ! of the necessity of serving record enrollments. The inflationary factor in the increased educational and general cost of the colleges Is estimated to be only 24 percent, much less than the national average increase in the cost of living.
