A., who al tended the Methodist Conference on missions sends in the following report: The Southern Methodist Church held an International Conference on Missions, January 1 :! in Memphis. Tennessee. That may not mean a thing to you but a mere fact, but it means much more to me because I was given the opportunity to be one of the three thousand delegates. The personnel consisted of bishops, missionaries, preachers, laymen, missionary society members and college students. Some of the leading personalities were Dr. E. Stanley Junes, a missionary of India; Bishop W. B. Beauchamp, president of the Board of Missions; also presiding officer of the Conference, and Mr. V. C. Young, president of Soochow University, Soochow, China. There are conferences and conferences of various types; this was a missionary one, a call to the soldiers of Christ to come together for the following reasons; to solve financial problems, to gain spiritual guidance. because there is a great need of revival of religion at home as well ai on foreign fields; to promote cooperation with the younger churches; but above all to gain the missionary spirit and to put the spirit into action.

Was it the effect of an unusual holiday, or is S. T. C. getting sedately older? Certainly some potent charm wielded a mighty influence over the student body upon its return to college. An unprecedented atmosphere of hard work and concentrated study prevailed before we were fairly settled. Surely these girls must have a great love for books! We can't recall a similar occasion when study has been resumed so vigorously. The students well deserve the commendation attributed to them by various members of the faculty. We can readily predict a great decrease in quantity of the unwelcome bi-weekly reports some of us have a way of receiving. And as for failures on courses—there won't be any! That is, If we all continue the good work we have started. Here's hoping there won't be an anticlimax!

We are always glad to publish any desirable article or communication that may be senl to us. We wish, however, to call attention to the fact that unsigned correspondence will not be published. All matters of business should be addressed to the Business Manager, and all other matter should come to the Editor-in-chief. Complaints from subscribers as regards irregularities in the delivery of The Rotunda, will be appreciated.
The New Year at this date is well under way. Since this is, however, our first opportunity of the year to speak editorially we ask pardon of our readers for the conventionally unpardonable fault of the newspaper. It hardly seems chance that the new year on our Christian calendar should fall immediately after the season of holiday and good will characteristic of Christmas. The old year ends victoriously and the new year begins gloriously. But the holidays are over, and the routine of living has again fallen into its accustomed way. The New Year will be different from the old just to the degree thai we keep within our hearts and inculcate into our living the holiday spirit. No one needs to he convinced of the complexity of a college community. The condition of housing nearly B thousand people under the same roof creates abnormalities innumerable. No where is there a greater need for respect for and consideration of every personality in the organisation. Such qualities are omnipresent at the holiday season and so we are convinced of their possible existence. What happy folks could we all be if each received on every day the kind thoughtfulness bestowed by all during the holidays !

Final Trial of the Dean's List This New Year
MY EDUCATIONAL CREED
There are undoubtedly possibilities of unusual achievement open to girls who have measured up to the standard. It is for this that it was instituted- not merely to give the privilege of cutting classes. It is a goal worth conscious effort to reach. Under the plan it is possible for a girl to follow more closely than before a line of study that will satisfy her own needs and interests.

CHRISTMAS One night so long, long ago, some wise men saw a wonderful star in the sky, which was brighter than any other. One of the wise men said, "Let us follow the star because, something great must be happening." So they followed the star until they came to a little town called Bethlehem. They found a little babe in a stable, and they offered him rich gifts. Now He is the savior of the whole world. Written and composed by T. W. Brooks, 10 years old. Fourth grade,

On Saturday night
Mabel Lee Walton makes an inspection of all the chapters of Tri Sigma every two years. That was the purpose of her visit this time. She has been engaged in sorority work since ■he was initiated into the Gamma Chapter of Tri-Sigma at R. M. W. C, Lynchburg, Va., and has been National President of Sigma Sigma Sigma lor the past fourteen years. .Miss Walton left Monday for Roanoke where she will visit an alumnae chapter before going to inspect Alpha Alpha Chapter at Concord College.
Those who wish may acquire this most necessary art on January 24, for the small sum of twenty-five cents. The time limit is two hours afternoon or night. Brotherly love is lacking in some people—especially in those who don't have the ability or the "gumption" to be in the orchestra. The other day one of the girls who is not in the orchestra remarked that it annoyed her to hear the orchestra see-sawing for an hour twice a week, and also it didn't sound very well. But, as the old saying goes, "Practice makes perfect," and if anyone but knew, it takes a great deal of skill tc see-saw smoothly and swiftly on anything. The orchestra gave a review of their see-sawing in chapel, one Saturday not so long ago. On Saturday of this week the orchestra will not make their bow—but play their encore, and as all encores are— this will be much better than the first performance. The orchestra is sponsoring a collegiate picture, "Brotherly Love" at the Eaco Theatre, Thursday, January 24. The orchestra is weak in finances if not in musical abiltiy or instruments and it wishes that every member of the student body will love her brother as she does herself (which is a great deal), and show her love by coming to the movies on January 24.
