A CHALLENGE From Your Alma Mater Through . ° Her President.
Dear Alumnae: The Rotunda Staff has generously given a large part of the space of this issue to news that should interest us especially, and in addition has helped to make it possihlc to send a copy to every member of the Association whose address is known. We wish each one of you to realize that this letter is meant for you, personally and individually—for you whose name is on the wrapper is this paper. Dr. Jarman has told us in his letter how matters stand in regard to the Student Building and of his faith in our ability and our desire to see this work finished. A third of the Alumnae have pledged one half of the $50,000 that we made ourselves responsible for at the June meeting of 1921. Since we wish the building to be in the truest sense an alumnae gift, WS hope that you who have not yet in.I'IC a pledge or contribution will send in either one or the other, no matter how small it is. One of the most prized gift! that has been made was a one-dollar gift. We should like the pledge or the gift to be made not as a debt due the school but as a service rendered to the present and future students, and we should like every one who lias ever attended the [Continued on page 2.]

SENIORS HOLD INSTALLATION SERVICE Largest Degree Class in History of School Formally Recognized.
One of the mosl impressive and beautiful services of the year was held in the school auditorium at seven o'clock Tuesday evening, October 30. The services began when the Seniors, each with her Junior escort marched solemnly down the aisle. The Seniors wore their gowns while the Junior girls, dressed in white, carried the caps. After the address concerning their responsibilities as teachers and public servants Dr. Jarman placed the cap on the head of each Senior. This clas> has been growing in tncnibers each year until this session the number is the greatest in the history

The Travelers' Club held its first meeting of the year, Thursday. October 25. A most interesting talk was given by Miss Everett on her trip to the Philippines last year. Much was learned of the people of the Philippines, of their customs, and of the geography of the Philippines. The Filipinos, we were told, commercialized by America, are a wild, very gracious, and very religious people. However, they are superstitious, imitative, and lack executive ability. Dancing is their chief recreation. Something was told of the beautiful architecture in the Philippines, their churches being especially beautiful. Manila was described as being the "City of Sunsets," and a vivid account was given of a visit to a Japanese restaurant in the Philippines.
CHANGES IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION In one of the Mav issues of the Rotunda the president of the Alumnae Association called attention to certain phases of work to l>e taken up at the biennial meeting in June, one of which was the revision of the Constitution The following chanties made at that meeting should l>e noted First Students who have completed three quarters of professional work leading to a diploma or degree arc eligible to associate membership. Some of the local chapters have already enrolled all of these former loyal students and all others are asked to extend a like invitation to such alumnae in their
communities. Second—The general
management
of the Association shall he in an Kxecutive Board consisting of the officers of the association—president, first vice president, second vice president, alumnae secretary, and tWO director-, all elected by the association except the alumnae secretary, who i- to he appointed by the Board. The President ■ if the Normal School -hall he a mem 1" r of the Executive Hoard. Third—The Association -hall meet annually instead of bieiiialh on Saturda> before commencement day. It i- hoped 'hat a plan for da-- reunions may he worked out for these annual meetii Fourth The annual dues shall be one dollar instead of fifty Cents, All local chapters are urged to collect the dues for 1923 -'4 as soon as possible and semi to the S< r< tarj 1 reasun r, Mi-- ('.

The Association of Alumnae of the State Normal School for Women at Farmville ii now our legal name.
November 10. 1<>2.?. To the Members of Our Alumnae Association: 1 know from experience that all of you are enough interested in our Student Building to want to know just how matters stand today. We have gone ahead, having faith in our alumnae, and practically completed the fourth floor ami gymnasium floor, and have let the contract for the plastering of the first anil second tloors. When this is completed the whole building will be finished with the exception of floors, trimming and painting for the first and second floors. We have let contracts amounting to a little over a hundred thousand dollars; the building when completed will cost a hundred and thirty thousand. We are expecting an appropriation from the State amounting to fifty thousand; from the faculty, home department, and other friends lor approximately seven thousand dollars. I can reasonably count on eight thousand dollars from Other sources— leaving only fifty thousand tor tlie alumnae to raise. About half of this amount is already pledged. In view of the fact that I have borrowed fifty thousand dollars it will be readily seen that as pledges are paid up I can reduce this loan and save interest. I therefore earnestly urge all who have made pledges to pay them up as rapidly as possible. There are seventeen hundred of tin alumnae who, up to this tune have made n<> pledge. I here may lie some who have scruples against making a pledge : to those I would say, whenever you can send in a cash contribution (even though small) do so. This building will hv paid for by .-mall contributions from a large number "I people. What I ask is that you get the Student Building on your heart and keep it in yOUf mind. If you will do this, contributions will steadily How in and our faith in you will be more than justified. With beat wishes for each ami every one of you, I am Cordially yours, J. I,. JARMAN.

I have a sad talc to tell. Manv years ago there lived in this school four literary societies. They were well, happy and prosperous. The world meant a lot to them and they in turn meant Something to the world in which they lived. And the good times they had! They really would give each other big receptions; they had rushing parties for the new girls, then parties for the new members and always a party for the departing Seniors. Can you believe it? Membership was closed and there was a regular "bid night." Work started in the fall with a "hang"—exccllcnt work and much of it was done to prove themselves worthy of the new girls. Cm,, programs were given by each in the auditorium every month. Beautiful posters advertised the meetings They had literary programs, mustcal numbers, plays and debates. Stranthey had pins, pennants, pillows and paper for each society. Now where have these things gone? If the Literary Societies are dean won't e kind person give them a decent burial for the sake of their glorious Is of the past? Don't let their memory be dishonored! But aren't there some courageous people in school with initiative enough to recreate these dear relics of the past.' My advice is to restore them to old ways -close 'hem. limit them, keep out all new members until they are functioning again. Next, give Tuesday night immediately after supper as a time tor >pen programs in the auditorium. Provide competition. Award a cup for the I number of points based on lit! debating merit. Why, if 1 could open this old pouch by my side.

In October we assisted with a most delightful garden party held upon the spacious lawn of Dr. JarmanV home. Nature added to the already beautiful scene and the whole affair was one long to \K remembered Nearly $60 was cleared from this entertainn ent. It was so successful we have already planned a second garden party for the same place in the merry month of May.
