In a small college it is easier to insure a wholesome atmosphere more nearly approximating the standards which: obtain in a Christian home. There is something in mere numbers that tend to lower the moral standards of a group. \nd it is self evident that large numbers make discipline ‘more difficult to maintain, and certain habits of mind and conduct are formed’ beyond the power of the faculty to control, 7. A small student body, provided selection is oper- ative, is more conducive to study than is a large student body, because in most instances of a large student body no very rigid standard of selection is employed. On the law of averages there is more likelihood that a student may fall under the influence of meén not in college for self- development and educational. culture. 8. Where a-college is small from choice—small because the authorities will not admit greater. numbers than the college equipment can adequately accommodate, ° there is greater opportunity for the administration to select. its student body on the principle of ability and willingness to proht by academic service. : %. A college spirit is one of the fine influences that play on the developing mind of a student. Whena college grows too rapidly, as is the case with most of our large colleges today, this tradition and esprit de corps suffers from too great a stram on its capacity to assimilate. Large influx of numbers tends to destroy it or adulterate it. 10. Statistics show that a large proportion of the leaders in our American life come from the smaller colleges ; and Ir You Know Tuese Tuincs 25 the testimony of many a large University is that graduates from the small colleges do better work in post graduate and professional courses. The explanation of these facts is left to the reader, but he will likely find in some of the above statements hints of the explanation. = Remember, too, in this connection, that some, at least, of our Presbyterian schools are small from choice. Their conception of their obligation to the youth committed to their charge is such that they dare not undertake to train more students than their facilities permit them to do in an acceptable manner. While there is yet much to provide in the way of equipment and increased teaching staff be- fore anything like ideal conditions prevail, those in charge of the work have faith in the wisdom and generosity of the church. The leaders in the church’s educational pro- gram feel confident that the day will come when this as- pect of the work of theXxingdom will be more deeply ap- preciated and more adequitely established. —THE EDITOR. tv You Know Turse THincs Under great disadvantages and sore trials, but by reason of wonderful determination, sacrifice, faith and importunate prayer Davidson lived and served with no adequate income or. plant until Maxwell Chambers’ bequest of a quarter of a million dol- lars in 1855. Out of the proceeds of this gift the great Chambers Building, which so many students lived in and affec- tionately remember, was built and stood until its destruction by fire on the morning of November 28, 1921. The remainder of the Chambers’ bequest was invested in state securities which were almost completely Jost as a result of the Civil War. The College emerged from this struggle with a small endowment of less than $80,000, nor did its endowment reach as much as $100,000 until the early vears of the twentieth century. Started by Concord Presbytery, other Presbyteries were invited at different times to participate in its ownership and control through trustees elected by the Presbyteries, until at one time all the Presbyteries of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida participated. The Presbyteries of South Carolina established a college for men within their own bounds and one by one withdrew from official relation to Davidson College. Now Davidson is owned and controlled by the Pres- byteries of the Synods of North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and \sheville Presbytery of Appalachia Synod. The majority of these Presbyteries elect two trustees each, generally one minister and one layman, though the Presbyteries of Concord, Fayette- ville, Mecklenburg and Orange have’ a lJarger representation. The Alumni Association elects six trustees. Period of Expansion—l[eginnitig with the Vice-Presi- dency of Dr. Henry Louis Smith, and continuing through his period as President, strenuous efforts were made by him and under his direction to enlarge the student body and increase the material resources of the College.

THE PRESENT Chis period may properly cover the years of the present administration which began in June, 1912. Beginning with an enrollment of 353, the student body now numbers 642) aud since 1919 there: lve always been more appheants than could be accepted.” The Faculty in 1912 had 13 members giving instruction; this year there are 38 teachers. This does not count student assistants. This results in much better service. In 1912 the praportion was 26 students to each teacher, and this vear it is 17 students to each teacher. While this is a great improvement, the proportion is still too great. According to the best educational standards, we should have 50 teachers instead of 38 for the present size student body. During this period the College lost two buildings by fire— the Chambers Building in 1921 and the Watts Dormitory\in 1923. The latter had been given to the College by Mr. George W. Watts, of Durham, Vice-President of the Board, and was restored in larger and better form, and of fireproof construction, through the generosity of Mrs. Watts (now Mrs. Cameron Morrison) and Mrs, John Sprunt Hill, daughter of Mr. Watts. The new Chambers Building has been planned and one wing of it built... It will occupy practically the same ground on which the original building stood and will:be the outstanding feature of the campus group. It falls naturally into three divisions; North Wing is to house the Department of Physics (now called the James Buchanan Duke Department of Physics) and numer- ous offices and class rooms; South Wing has been built at a cost, approximately, of $200,000, and contains 11 administrative Z 70 Ir. You KNow THESE THINGS - offices, 10 offices for professors and 20 class rooms. The central section will include the Auditorium, seating 1,200 to 1,500, a large reception and banquet hall, seating probably 500, and two class or committee rooms. The building has a frontage of 311 feet and will be handsome and imposing. It is of fire- proof-e instruction. The Gymnasium was built in 1917 at a cost of $25,000—it would cost at least $40,000 now. It should be enlarged. Two large fireproof dormitories, housing 120 students each, were built in 1923. The value of Plant and Equipment was $346,000 in 1912, and is now approximately $936,000. In this time the salary budget has grown from $32,340 to $140,000, and Endowment from $203,000 to $930,000. The Duke Gift—Mr. James Buchanan Duke’s great gift to the College falls within this period and the College is for the first time this year receiving an income from this source. What this income will amount to each year cannot be told as it depends on the dividends of the Southern Power Company and is deter- minded by the Trustees of the Duke Endowment. Whatever it is, Mr. Duke expressed, verbally but not in writing, that it should be devoted to the current expenses of the College in improving its Faculty and in better care and maintenance of Plant and Equipment. He distinctly said he did not wish it absorbed in a building program, leaving that growth to the gifts of others, especially Presbyterians, since he, a Methodist, had added so greatly to current income. Further, he clearly said he would be greatly disappointed if any one or any organization left off rendering assistance to either current expense or perma- nent improvement because of his gift, or refrained because of it from rendering whatever of assistance they would have given if he had not made Davidson Coilege a participant in his Endow- lr You KNow Tues} CPHINGS 71 ment.

The rest are members of the Presbyterian Church and all are ready to take their part actively in Christian work and worship. The contact of students with such men cannot fail of being helpful in forming sound character. : Once a day the students are required to gather for prayer, and on the Sabbath each must attend divine service, thus con- tinuing the training of their Christian homes. The standard of scholarship is rigidly adhered to and all who fail to meet the requirements are dropped from the rolls to make room for those who will profit by the instruction. Selec- tion of new students is carefully made and only those are accepted who by their past experience give evidence of ability and willingness to do the work required and present testimonials , t LZtL < < ca Ze Ck& as < s, j D =. & J LNs r Ky VJ +<--¢ L cree 4 | -F: x1 Mle be A) X7700.

Davis—with the statement that the article was written and printed without the knowledge of Mr. Davis The story of this preacher-publisher who, at the age of 72, is turning over his printing business to his sons, is an interesting one. Born near Robbinsville in Graham County on August 31, 1874, he attended the short terms of public school in Robbinsville, and at the uge of 18 stood the examination for a teach- er's certificate. Then he taught in fall and winter and during the spring term attended Cullowhee Teachers Norma! School, from which he graduated after three terms with an tverege of 98. Doing work as clerk and bookkeeper for a time, hé felt was a call to preach. 1809, at the age of 25, he enrolled in the freshman class at Wuke Forest College to study for the ministry, and. graduated in 1903. College expenses were paid by Wwork- ing, by using his savings, and by help from an older brother. He was the first man from Graham County te receive an from a standard college But in the fall of For a time he assisted the late J. A. Beam at his sehool in Person County, then served as assistant pastor of the' Tabernacle Church, Raleigh, from which position he went to study at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Ky. Shortly before entering the Seminary, he married Bessie Farmer of Pittsylvania County, Va. Serious illness interrupted his studies, but he graduated from the Seminary in 1908. During his college and seminary days, he had held several pastorates. After gradu- ation he became pastor at Morehead City in this State, where he remained for five years, resigning to become the first state secretary of Baptist Young People’s Work. After a year there, he accepted a call.to the Wake- field and Zebulon Baptist churches, moving to Zebulon in 1914 time he has lived in Zebulon years—1918-1924—when he the _ Kennedy the eastern Since that except for six served as superintendent of Memorial Home near Kinston, January 80, 1946 i 4 A.B. degree branch of the Baptist Orphanage of North _ Carglina, where he worked tirelessty. began his second pastorate at Zebulon in 1924, and in later years-he served fields” with combinations of several different churches in that vicinity. About fourteen years ago, in the depth of the depression, when his field of churches no longer coulck give him a living salary, Mr. Davis bought from M. F. Grote the equip- ment of the Record Publishing Company with the Zebulon Record, feeling that he might leave the pastorate to preachers who knew how to do little else but that which they had been trained for by years of study. He threw himself into learning the printing business, and beginning with one young helper, by . working day and night expanded his business so that by 1941 his shop was printing the . minutes for half the Baptist associations in North Carolina, together with much addi- tional materia! for churches and schools. In addition to this, he still took time to preaca, serving for more than five years at Kenly and-for several years at Union Hope. Soon after the beginning of World War II, his oldest son was killed in the Philippines, and two younger sons enlisted in the Air Corps. With the help of*the other son, the shop was kept open during the war, and when the two sons returned from service, they found a new, building almost finished. Then Mr. Davis put into effect his plan of turning over the business to his three sons, each of whom had invested savings in the company. His plan is to devote most of his time to his almost three acres at the edge of Zebulon. Whether he will stay retired remains to be seen. COMMITTEE OF TWELVE MEETS TO STUDY SEMINARY QUESTION. The Committee of Twelve, appointed by the Baptist State Convention meeting in Raleigh on November 12, 1945, to study the resolution to provide for the enlargement of the depart- ment. of Bible at Wake Forest College, held 1946, with eight of the ne ent. Some correspondence concerning the resolution was read, and reports of reactions expressed by different persons with reference — to the enlargement. of the Bible department were introducéd. Among the questions raised were those that dealt with the field of special workers for the churches, the granting of theological degrees at Wake Forest, the need for additional theological schools, and the importance of securing the co-operation of other theological institutions within the bounds of the Southern Baptist Convention. The committee felt the need for careful study, if it were to make a report to the Baptist State Convention next autumn, and appointed three committees to investigate different matters pertaining to the question of a seminary. One committee, composed of J. G. Blackburn, Lumberton, chairman; ‘C. ©. Warren, Charlotte; C. M. Townsend, . Ra- leigh; and J. C. Turner, Greensboro, was. appointed to confer with seminary execu- tives in the South and any southwide com- mittee that might be considering the estab- lishment of other theologica] work within the bounds of the Southern Baptist Convention. The second committee, composed of B. E. Morris, Durham, chairman; LeRoy Martin, Raleigh; R. A. Herring, Winston-Salem ; and J. C. Canipe, Boone, was appointed to inter- view the trustees and other officials of Wake ge 5. dct > Jelreyc — ee ik CY Here Qi f-A-H-O eh bse.

They had not expected rewards—and had forgotten all about their helpfulness to others. It was just in their day's living and feeling.

One descend- ant/ Julia T. Dent, married a young Army officer in Mis- souri in 1848. He was U.S Grant, destined to become the conquering hero of the Civil War and, later, President. Martha Dent, who died in 1824, was the last of those bearing the family name. to occupy the “palace.” It then went to a son-in-law and finally passed out of the family. The wagon road, which fell into disuse as new roads came through, now is a brush-filled ditch through the meadows. Out of sight from. the present roads, the place for decades was a typical farm- house until six yeafs ago. when Moultrie Hitt, Washing- ton attorney, bought it and 270 surrounding acres The Hitts have restored it to a traditionally American showplace as well as a modern home One of their first jobs was to reopen the fireplaces which had been sealed shut for years. Behind the cover- ing over the big brick kitchen fireplace they found the. old iron crane—from which once hung the iron kettles of Colonial cooks—-still in place: Now the old house—under new coats of paints, enamels and varnishes—gleams once again as it must have in the heyday of the Dents. And on a side lawn, the old pusty ’ dinner bell that once beck- oned the hands—and perhaps slaves—from the fields still stands as a reminder of a® bygone era —W. J. M.

It is .Dent’s Palace, the ancestral home of the Dent family, a prominent name hereabouts, but despite its beauty and antiquity, a well- nigh forgotten place until a few years ago. The house with its thick brick walls, huge hand-hewn beams, 12 rooms, fireplaces and heart-pine floors probably was built between 1720 and 1750. Even in 1720 the Dents were well established in Maryland, for it was then that John Dent applied for a resurvey of the property, which included 1,200 acres. Differences in construction indicate that portions of the house were built at different times and it is possible that part of it was built when the resurvey application was made. ; Family records show that several Dents who were offi- cers in the Revolution were born there; hence, it is likely that the house was completed in its present form at least 25 or 30 years prior to 1776.
